Weather Blog: Wednesday's Snow Storm Will Be A Near Miss

By Chris Shaffer, WCCO-TV

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- The latest model data keeps trending this storm system farther southeast. That will put the heaviest snow band over southeastern Minnesota and into Wisconsin.

There will be a sharp cutoff of moisture on the northern end, and there will be a cutoff to the south as the precipitation falls as rain.

In the metro we could see 2 to 4 wet inches by the time it wraps up Wednesday afternoon.

The other problem will be the increasing wind from the north. It will blow in the 10-20 mph range causing some blowing and drifting snow.

It will help that it's a wetter snow. And the chemicals will work better on the highways with the warmer temps.

The storm clears late Wednesday night, and we could see more snow Friday and Monday.

Winter lives on!
