Snow is expected to start in central Minnesota early Tuesday afternoon and spread southeast into western Wisconsin by Tuesday evening. Currently, the most likely place for heaviest snow is along and north of Interstate 94 where a narrow band of 4 to 7 inches of snow is possible. Along and south of I-94, a wintry mix is possible at times, which will lower snowfall amounts. Winds will also become strong with gusts of 30 to 40 mph possible. The strongest winds will be across western and southern Minnesota. Depending on if rain falls, and how the snow pack settles, blowing snow and blizzard conditions could be possible. Snow will end from west to east during the morning hours of Wednesday.
