Twin Cities metro upgraded to Winter Storm Warning
(FOX 9) - The Twin Cities metro has been upgraded from a Winter Weather Advisory to a Winter Storm Warning through Thursday evening.
It looks like we will see a few heavier bursts of snow with rates in the 1 to 2 inches per hour range. The metro is still expected to get around 3 to 5 inches of snow, while northern Minnesota and northwestern Wisconsin should see 5 to 8 inches.
Regardless of how much snow we get, travel and commutes will be greatly impacted for the rest of the day.
