U.S Storm Moves East with Snow Forecast

Chicago and Minneapolis could receive blizzard conditions....

Meteorological spring may have officially started on Friday, but someone forgot to tell Old Man Winter. A large winter storm is currently developing over the Dakotas and is expected to spread east over the US in the the next three days. Snow is possible from Minneapolis all the way to Boston, though much uncertainty remains in the track of this storm system.

The most confidence I have in the forecast is in the northern midwest including in Minneapolis and Chicago. Winter storm warnings are in effect throughout the region for 6-12in of snow for Monday through Tuesday evening. Snowfall could fall at rates from 1-2in per hour Monday night into Tuesday. Winds on Tuesday could be between 15mph and 30mph – creating near blizzard conditions.
