"The first notable accumulating snowfall event of the season is on the way tomorrow for much of the area," reads the Monday morning forecast discussion from the Twin Cities office of the National Weather Service.
While snow is on the way, compaction and melting at the onset of snowfall (due to warm ground temps) will make the final result look like less than actually falls. When it's all said and done, there could be 3-5 inches of accumulation in some areas, according to the weather service. That falls in line withwhat Novak Weather is predicting.
