Light snow showers likely north and west of Twin Cities metro area

The sprawling storm system that brought widespread rain to Minnesota the past few days has weakened and is sliding eastward. Its last vestige for Minnesota on Wednesday will be areas of light snow that will track from northeastern Minnesota southwest across central Minnesota to west-central and southwestern sections of the state. Minor accumulations are likely to be less than 1 inch.
