While trends have shifted focus a bit more northward, most areas are likely to see accumulating snowfall along with brisk northerly winds which may result in periods of blowing/drifting snow and reduced visibilities. In addition to this, could see periods of freezing drizzle occur Monday afternoon and evening in areas south of I-90. As always, we encourage you to continue monitoring the forecast for future updates!

Here’s a closer look at the timing of our upcoming winter storm. Snow will be slow to accumulate, with the best chances through Monday afternoon occurring near/north of Hwy 14. A more widespread area of light snow is expected to develop Monday night through Tuesday.

Breezy conditions and colder temperatures will result in wind chills in the negative 20s to 30s for much of the upcoming week. Take precautions if outdoors!
