...HEAVIEST SNOW SHIFTING SOUTH WITH WINTER STORM...

.The narrow band of heavier snow has shifted south, and the gradient 
has tightened up. As a result, areas across central Minnesota will 
see less snow, so the Blizzard Warning was replaced with a Winter 
Weather Advisory for Le Sueur, Nicollet, Brown, Watonwan, Rice, and 
Goodue counties.

Areas to the south and east of those counties have a higher chance 
of seeing whiteout conditions from heavy snow and strong wind, so a 
blizzard warning remains in effect for those locations. In Pepin and 
Eau Claire Counties, the Winter Storm Watch was replaced with a 
Winter Storm Warning.

As for timing, snowfall rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour will develop 
Wednesday morning and last into early Wednesday afternoon. Northwest 
winds of 30 to 40 mph will accompany the snow, with occasional gusts 
near 45 mph along I-90.

...HEAVIEST SNOW CONTINUES SHIFTING SOUTH WITH WINTER STORM...

.The narrow band of heavier snow has shifted south, and the gradient 
has tightened up. As a result, areas across Minnesota and west 
central Wisconsin will see less snow, warnings and advisories have 
shifted south as well.

The greatest risk area remains along I-90 as this is the most likely 
area to have the overlap between snow falling at high enough rates 
and the high winds for blizzard conditions. For the Winter Storm 
Warning in Eau Claire this is mainly for the eastern portion of the 
county and not the City of Eau Claire.

URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Twin Cities/Chanhassen MN
127 PM CDT Tue Mar 18 2025

...HEAVIEST SNOW SHIFTING SOUTH WITH WINTER STORM...

.The narrow band of heavier snow has shifted south, and the gradient 
has tightened up. As a result, areas across central Minnesota will 
see less snow, so the Blizzard Warning was replaced with a Winter 
Weather Advisory for Le Sueur, Nicollet, Brown, Watonwan, Rice, and 
Goodue counties.

Areas to the south and east of those counties have a higher chance 
of seeing whiteout conditions from heavy snow and strong wind, so a 
blizzard warning remains in effect for those locations. In Pepin and 
Eau Claire Counties, the Winter Storm Watch was replaced with a 
Winter Storm Warning.

As for timing, snowfall rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour will develop 
Wednesday morning and last into early Wednesday afternoon. Northwest 
winds of 30 to 40 mph will accompany the snow, with occasional gusts 
near 45 mph along I-90.
