...SPRING STORM IS FORECAST TO BRING ACCUMULATING TO HEAVY SNOW TO
PORTIONS OF WESTERN AND CENTRAL MINNESOTA...

.Another potent Spring Storm is on tap to arrive on Tuesday lasting
into Wednesday with heavy snow expected for much of central
Minnesota. The system will arrive in western Minnesota by Tuesday
morning with a band of heavy snow expected to begin by the afternoon
continuing overnight as the system pushes eastwards. Snow quality is
expected to be on the heavier, slushier side as snow ratios favor
below 10 to 1. An influx of mid level warm air could also lead to a
wintry mix at times, with widespread rain to the south of the main
band of snowfall. Snow will diminish by Wednesday afternoon as the
system continues into the Great Lakes region. A broad area of 6 or
more inches of snow is expected for parts of central Minnesota, with
high end amounts potentially reaching the double digits. Ice
accumulations should generally remain a glaze to a few hundredths at
the most.
