...BLIZZARD CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE WEDNESDAY... .Another strong spring system will track through the Upper Midwest late Tuesday into Wednesday. Similar to our other March storms, this will start as rain before transitioning to snow. Unlike our last storm, this should fall as rain and snow with no strong signal for sleet or freezing rain. Heavy snow rates of an inch per hour are possible within the watch area. The whole watch area will see reductions to visibility from falling and blowing snow. However the winds across southern Minnesota will be higher, therefore this area has the best chance for blizzard conditions. * WHAT...Heavy snow possible. Total snow accumulations between 4 and 7 inches possible. Winds could gust as high as 35 mph. * WHERE...Rusk, Chippewa, Dunn, Eau Claire, Pepin, and Pierce Counties. * WHEN...From late Tuesday night through Wednesday evening. * IMPACTS...Travel could be very difficult. The hazardous conditions could impact the Wednesday morning and evening commutes.
