Significant Snowfall Across Southern Minnesota Tuesday

The National Weather Service says that several inches of snow are possible during the day on Tuesday.

An area from southwest Minnesota, northeast into western Wisconsin -- including Mankato, Faribault, Owatonna, Rochester, Red Wing, and the Twin Cities can expect between 2 and 5 inches of new snow.

Timing will be unfortunate, affecting both the morning and evening commute in the Twin Cities. Most areas will see accumulating snow, with the exception of far western Minnesota.
