12 Inches Of Snow Possible For Twin Cities: Minnesota Weather

MINNEAPOLIS-ST. PAUL, MN — After nearly 10 inches of snow was dumped on the Twin Cities metro area Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, disrupting travel for those heading out for Thanksgiving, another storm is slated for this weekend. A new winter storm warning has been issued.

"Areas in northern Minnesota and northern Wisconsin can expect to see quite a bit of snow this weekend," says the National Weather Service.

"They are in a Winter Storm Warning (pink) and should expect difficult travel conditions. Areas just to the south could see a mix of rain/snow/ice, so the forecast is still uncertain. The areas in a Winter Weather Advisory will see more mixed precipitation and rain."
