Justin Liles: Snow overnight and a cold Halloween

October 30: Snow overnight and slick AM travel

Snow overnight and slick AM travel

A fast-moving clipper system will move through overnight and bring a quick burst of snow to the region. Most areas will see and inch or less but there are some spots along the south shore where more snow is possible. Lake Effect snow is possible with favorable winds over the warm water. Most of our snow will wrap up before sunrise but snow could continue through the early afternoon along the south shore.

Our Halloween will be another cold one for the kiddo’s Tuesday evening. Hats, gloves, and winter jackets are warranted Tuesday. The rest of the week, we’ll hold on to our colder than average temperatures. We are also looking rather dry through the week too. There is another quick moving system by the end of the week that may bring in a wintry mix late Friday into Saturday. The Minnesota Deer Firearms season begins this weekend and unfortunately there doesn’t look to be much snow on the ground. More rain than snow is likely over the weekend.
