Another dose of winter – after record-setting snowfall in October – is taking aim at the North Wright County Today area as a system churns its way through Minnesota and into Wisconsin.
And like the October snows – this shouldn’t last too long. Highs in the upper 40s should hit our region on Saturday, with rain expected next Saturday.
Here are the details on the upcoming winter storm:

…HEAVY SNOW POSSIBLE TUESDAY AND TUESDAY EVENING FROM SOUTHERN AND EASTERN MINNESOTA TO NORTHWEST WISCONSIN… …SOME SHIFTING OF THIS BAND EAST OR WEST IS STILL POSSIBLE… .Another round of precipitation will develop across Nebraska tonight and advance northeast to northwest Iowa, southern and eastern Minnesota, and western Wisconsin Tuesday. At this time, a narrow stripe of heavy snowfall is possible from southwest Minnesota to northwest Wisconsin, including east central Minnesota and the Twin Cities metro where 4 to 7 inches are possible. Some shifting of this band east or west is still possible and confidence in location of this band is lower than normal for this range.
