Friday's storm system has maintained the westward track we talked about in Tuesday's blog and it has led to the National Weather Service issuing a winter storm watch for eastern South Dakota, southwestern Minnesota and much of northwest Iowa.
The Twin Cities is still on track to receive 1-3 inches of snow, but the heaviest snow – to the tune of 4-8 inches – is within the winter storm watch area. BMTN meteorologist Sven Sundgaard says there will likely be a very sharp cutoff on the eastern side of the snow, so there is still also the potential for the Twin Cities to get barely any snow at all.
