Minnesota Weather: Up To 6 Inches Of Snow In Twin Cities
The National Weather Service says Sunday's wet snow may cause tree damage and power outages.
TWIN CITIES, MN — Winter is trying to make a comeback in Minnesota, just in time for Easter Sunday. A winter storm warning is in effect for Dakota County and Washington County, while a winter weather advisory is in effect for the rest of the Twin Cities metro area, including Hennepin, Ramsey counties.
"This will likely be a heavy, wet snow, so some tree damage and power outages could occur due to the combination of gusty winds and the heavy wet snow," states the National Weather Service.
Snow will overspread the area this morning, and continue into this evening. Northeast winds will gust to around 35 mph at times as they shift to the northwest by tonight, producing areas of blowing and drifting snow with reduced visibilities. #mnwx #wiwx pic.twitter.com/3LYiinAWeh
