Minneapolis, MN – A winter storm is set to bring 4 to 8 inches of snow across Minnesota, starting late Friday night and lasting through Saturday afternoon. Travel conditions could deteriorate quickly, especially along I-94 and I-35, as heavy snowfall and gusty winds create hazardous roads.
According to the National Weather Service, snow will begin after midnight, becoming heavy at times, with wind gusts reaching 10-15 mph. The heaviest snowfall is expected Saturday morning, with temperatures falling into the single digits by Sunday.
Sunday will see clearer skies but colder conditions, with highs near 16°F. By Monday, another blast of Arctic air will push temperatures down to a high of 14°F and overnight lows of -9°F. Drivers should prepare for icy roads and reduced visibility throughout the weekend.
Residents are advised to monitor local forecasts and prepare for possible delays. If travel is necessary, ensure vehicles are winter-ready and allow extra time for commutes. The storm could disrupt flights at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, so travelers should check for updates before heading out.
