A spring snowstorm that’s expected to bring plowable snow to Minnesota and western Wisconsin by Wednesday morning is prompting multiple schools to close.
A handful of schools, including Lake Benton School, Lakeview Public Schools and Minneota Public School, closed early Tuesday afternoon.
Schools that will be closed on Wednesday include St. Paul’s Achieve Language Academy and all Goodhue Public Schools.
Several schools are also planning on virtual learning days on Wednesday, including all public schools in Faribault and Red Wing, Maplewood’s Hill-Murray High School and Eau Claire’s Chippewa Valley Technical College.
Lakeville Public Schools and Lakeville’s All Saints Catholic School will start two hours late on Wednesday.
The storm will start with rain in the afternoon, but a changeover to snow will occur around sunset. 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.
