A snowstorm is unfolding across northern Plains and upper Great Lakes, threatening to dump more than a foot of snow across northern Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan through the first half of the week.
Due to the path of the storm, some of the bigger cities around the Great Lakes, such as Chicago and Detroit, will miss out on the snow.
Central Minnesota could receive close to a foot of snow. From northern Wisconsin through the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, between 12 and 18 inches could fall. As of Monday evening, St. Augusta, Minnesota, has already seen 16.5" of snowfall. Follow the minute-by-minute forecast for the snowstorm with AccuWeather's Minutecast®.
Hundreds of vehicle related accidents have been reported across Minnesota as of Monday evening, including one fatal collision, according to the state highway patrol.
Windy conditions through Tuesday and Tuesday night across open areas of Minnesota, Wisconsin and northern Michigan will worsen visibility in the area. This will make for dangerous travel conditions, slowing roadway traffic and threatening continued delays or cancellations of flights.
