Spring Storm Could Dump 6 Inches Of Snow On Minnesota

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – Spring is officially here...and there's a chance of accumulating snow falling this week in Minnesota.

WCCO-TV meteorologist Mike Augustyniak says that after two days with 50-degree highs on Monday and Tuesday, a slug of moisture will move into the state on Wednesday.

Currently, there are two competing ideas on where the storm will track, Augustyniak said.

The first is that the storm will hit southern Minnesota on Wednesday and clip the Twin Cities metro area. A rain-and-snow mix looks to fall during the day before turning to just snow overnight.

"There are suggestions there could be a half foot of snow," Augustyniak said.

Other models suggest the storm will stay along the Interstate 90 corridor, keeping most of the rain and snow along the Iowa border.

Either way, the coming storm is one to keep an eye on, especially after Saturday's wintry blast led to hundreds of crashes on Minnesota roads.
