Snow is already piling up Tuesday night as a spring storm could bring up to half a foot of snow to the Twin Cities.
The metro is expected to get 4 to 6 inches, though that total could increase or decrease significantly depending on where the heaviest bands set up.
The Twin Cities will be under a winter storm warning from 7 p.m. Tuesday through 3 p.m. Wednesday, the National Weather Service said. Farther south, a blizzard warning will be in effect.
Strong winds will cause blowing snow and blizzard-like conditions in some areas. Wind gusts are expected to reach more than 40 mph in the Twin Cities area and over 50 mph in southern Minnesota.
Travel conditions will quickly deteriorate heading into the overnight hours.
