Light Snow Tuesday-Wednesday, Major Snowstorm Southeastern Minnesota and Wisconsin

UPDATED FORECAST:

Northwest of Walker-Grand Rapids-Virginia line, accumulations will be minimal to nonexistent.

A dusting up to an inch is possible along the aforementioned line, 2-4" possible Brainerd to Duluth, 5-8" in Twin Cities. Amounts will increase rapidly going into Wisconsin and Southeast Minnesota, where amounts in excess of 8 inches (some totals well over a foot) are likely.

Beyond this storm, snowfall will be minimal for several weeks.

----------
OLD FORECAST:
The KAXE area (particularly in southeastern parts of the area) will be getting more snow on Tuesday-Wednesday. Accumulations will probably be in the 1-3" range in Grand Rapids, 3-6" in Brainerd, an inch or less in Bemidji, up to 6" in Duluth. Northwest Wisconsin may see more than 8 inches, and blizzard conditions may strike southern Minnesota and northern Iowa. Basically, the snow will be heavier the farther southeast you go. Northwestern Minnesota will probably miss this storm.

Temperatures will fall to below zero for lows with single digits and teens for highs this week. The wind chill on Wednesday will become an issue, too.
