Here is where the highest probability of snowfall of greater than eight inches is expected from 11am to midnight.
Snow is filling the radar screen in Aberdeen and Grand Forks. This large area of snow is headed pretty much straight east.
Blizzard, or near blizzard conditions will be enfolding in northwest and west central Minnesota as the day progresses. The low pressure generating the precipitation is tracking from southern Iowa to southwest Wisconsin.
Overnight, heavy rain fell in southern Iowa to northern Illinois. The atmosphere was pretty much taped out in Iowa and the radar has no returns showing up on the Des Moines radar at mid morning. This means, precipitation in east central Minnesota will have to track from west to east this afternoon. If the timing is just wrong, we could see a messy rush hour in the Twin Cities.
