A narrow area of snow and light rain showers is moving across central Minnesota and western Wisconsin through the morning hours Monday. Most of the Twin Cities will end up with under 1 inch of snow but north of the Twin Cities some spots will see 2 to 3 inches. Some southern suburbs could also see up to 1 to 2 inches with a mid morning heavy burst of snow. Already as of 8 a.m., Albertville reported 4 inches of snow.
