The main threat for heavy snowfall is along and to the north of I-90. Areas north of I-90 have a “high” chance (80-99%) of snowfall amounts exceeding 6″. Current guidance is suggesting a sharp cutoff in snowfall totals south of I-90. Areas south of the Minnesota state border could see totals of less than 4″ of snow.

Northern Iowa could run into the issue of ice accumulations with temperatures hovering around 28-32 degrees.
