Christmas Commute May Be A Snowy One
Early weather reports ring. Are you listening?
In the lane, snow may be glistening.
It may be a beautiful sight, but it may not make commuters happy Thursday night, driving through a winter wonderland.
According to WCCO meteorologist Mike Augustyniak, early computer models are indicating that a winter storm could bring as much as a foot of snow in parts of Minnesota on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
Augustyniak said Monday should see a new dusting in the Twin Cities, with about an inch of snow expected to fall south of the Interstate 94 corridor late Monday evening into early Tuesday.
The remainder of Tuesday is expected to be clear in the Twin Cities, but Wednesday could bring the beginnings of what could potentially become a significant winter storm.
Those driving anywhere in those areas on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day are advised to monitor travel conditions and weather forecasts carefully.
Augustyniak said the overall snow totals could be up to a foot, but would be significantly less if the expected precipitation comes in the form of a rain-snow mix.
Both Minnesota and Wisconsin are expected to get at least enough snow to shovel as the storms pulls out Thursday night into Christmas Day, regardless of how much mixing occurs.
