NORTHERN MINN. — Accumulating snow is expected to fall across most of the region in the coming days.
It's the first major snow event of the winter, a few days into the spring season.
Alerts from the National Weather Service offices in Grand Forks and Duluth indicate a possibility of at least 2 inches of snow falling over Minnesota’s northern half on Thursday, with the highest accumulations predicted along and south of Highway 2.
Thursday's clipper will foreshadow a larger system moving into the region starting Sunday, where between 6 and 12 inches are possible. Exact snowfall amounts and the locations of the heaviest amounts are not yet known and are expected to change, but the weather service says many of region's largest population centers have a 70% chance of 12 inches or more of snow.
Strong winds from the later system are likely to lead to hazardous travel conditions.
