Weather Impact Alert: Two more chances of snow Thursday evening, this weekend A sudden snowfall event on Thursday could disrupt evening commutes, with a more substantial snow system potentially impacting the weekend. Winter weather is expected to continue affecting the region, prompting the KARE 11 weather team to issue two Weather Impact Alerts for possible snowfall that could alter travel plans and weekend activities. The first alert, active from 3 p.m. Thursday through Friday morning, warns of rain transitioning to a brief snowfall in the metro area. This could lead to hazardous conditions during the evening commute. While precipitation is anticipated to subside by Thursday night, strong wind gusts are expected to persist through the Friday morning rush hour. A winter storm warning has been issued for northeastern Minnesota, where higher snow totals are forecast. The second alert, set to begin Saturday evening and last through Sunday, highlights a more organized weather system moving into the Upper Midwest. This system could bring "plowable" snowfall to the Twin Cities and southern Minnesota, though details about its exact path and snowfall amounts remain uncertain. The storm is still several days away, leaving many questions about its potential impact. Residents are advised to monitor updates from the KARE 11 weather team for the latest forecast details and timing adjustments. The alerts underscore the ongoing challenges posed by winter weather, emphasizing the need for preparedness as the season progresses.#winter_weather #kare_11 #twin_cities #upper_midwest #northeastern_minnesota
