Talk about an evolving weather situation.
The cold front sweeping across Minnesota Monday night is driving bands of heavier snow as it blows through. Heavy snow is falling at the Huttner Weather Lab in Victoria early Monday evening.
Winter weather advisories have expanded to include the Twin Cities area. Winter storm warnings have been posted due to heavy snow of more than 6 inches southwest of the Twin Cities.
Accumulating snow
Monday evening’s weather system ramped up more than many models showed Monday. The band of snow took on a springlike “convective” nature. Snowfall totals from the far western Twin Cities already show 3.5” as of early Monday evening.
