This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of central and
southern Minnesota, and west central Wisconsin.

A strong clipper system is bringing a variety of winter impacts to
much of Minnesota and Wisconsin through early tomorrow morning. Heavy
snowfall with rates exceeding 1 inch per hour will be possible
generally along and north of I-94. Snowfall totals here will range
from 4 to 7 inches by tomorrow morning. Snowfall amounts taper
off along and south of I-94, where 3 to 5 inches of snow is

rain and/or a rain-snow mix will cut down on snowfall totals and

accumulation is expected. Finally, across southwestern and
southern Minnesota, a wintry mix may produce around an inch of
snow, but very gusty winds approaching 55 MPH at times overnight
could lead to ground blizzard conditions. Snow will end from west
to east with winds subsiding by mid morning.

the week. Very cold temperatures are also expected Friday night
through Sunday morning with wind chill values likely surpassing
