...LONG DURATION SNOW WITH IMPACTFUL ACCUMULATION EXPECTED ACROSS SOUTHERN MINNESOTA INTO WESTERN WISCONSIN THROUGH SATURDAY EVENING... .Light snow will continue spreading eastward over central and southern MN into western WI this morning, persisting throughout the day today, with moderate intensity at times. Snow will then gradually diminish from west to east across MN into WI this evening through early morning Sunday. Several inches of accumulation, including over 6 inches of total accumulation near and south of a line from Redwood Falls to Le Sueur to Cannon Falls MN, will likely lead to travel impacts through tonight. The heaviest snow will fall around the Interstate 90 corridor in southern Minnesota, with upwards of 10 inches of total accumulation through late tonight possible. Lighter amounts are expected from west central Minnesota through the Twin Cities metro through Bloomer WI and points northward of that line. Overall, travelers should use extra caution and allow for extra travel time, including the possibility of moderate prolonged snowfall at times, which may lead to hazardous travel conditions. * WHAT...Snow expected. Total snow accumulations between 3 and 5 inches. * WHERE...Eau Claire, Pepin, and Pierce Counties. * WHEN...Until 6 AM CST Sunday. * IMPACTS...Roads, and especially bridges and overpasses, will likely become slick and hazardous. Travel could be very difficult.

Slow down and use caution while traveling. Call 5 1 1 or visit 511wi.gov for road conditions.

...WINTER STORM TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING... .Snow has begun to move east of the Mississippi River this morning as a winter storm continues eastward through the Midwest. A prolonged period of moderate to heavy snowfall is expected across the region through Sunday morning with areas along and south of Interstate 90 expected to receive at least 6 inches of snow. The highest snowfall amounts are favored over northeast Iowa and southwest Wisconsin where 8+ inches of snow is expected. The heaviest snowfall rates will occur this afternoon over northeast Iowa and southwest Wisconsin where rates approaching 1 inch per hour are possible at times. Tonight, winds begin to increase with gusts of 25 to 35 mph. These winds combined with the falling snow and blowing of the fresh snowpack will lead to near blizzard conditions at times through Sunday morning. Travel could be very difficult today and tonight, so those with travel plans are strongly urged to delay them. Snow tapers off from west to east on Sunday. * WHAT...Heavy snow. Total snow accumulations between 6 and 10 inches. Winds gusting as high as 35 mph. * WHERE...Portions of southeast Minnesota and southwest Wisconsin. * WHEN...Until 6 AM CST Sunday. * IMPACTS...Travel could be very difficult.

...WINTER STORM CONTINUES THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING... .Light to moderate snow has overspread the Driftless region and is expected to continue through this evening. Snow rates have generally been around a half inch per hour with rates closer to an inch per hour south of Highway 18 in northeast Iowa. While visibility largely remains at least a half mile across the region, roads are becoming partially to fully covered by snow and are consequently becoming dangerously slick. These difficult travel conditions will continue through tonight. Tonight, gusty winds to around 35 mph will develop. Thus, while snow rates will taper off this evening, visibility may drop to a half mile or less, with very difficult travel conditions expected overnight as a result. * WHAT...Heavy snow expected. Total snow accumulations between 5 and 10 inches. Winds gusting as high as 35 mph. * WHERE...Southeast Minnesota and, in southwest Wisconsin, Vernon County. * WHEN...Until 6 AM CST Sunday. * IMPACTS...Travel could be very difficult.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
