A very potent low pressure center will organize over Nebraska and move in to Iowa tonight. This system will bring with it copious amounts of moisture which will fall as mostly rain south of the Interstate 94 corridor and heavy wet snow north of I-94. Blizzard warnings are now posted for Duluth and other areas in the vicinity of Lake Superior with snowfall totals of 12-16 inches possible and gusty winds of 30-40mph expected. Winter Storm warnings are posted for the rest of the northern part of the state with 12 inches possible along and south of the Highway 2 corridor. The Twin Cities area will see mostly rain with an inch or two of wet snow not out the question. Rainfall totals could be as high as an inch in some areas which will only compound the flood threat. Many people along streams and rivers will be holding their breath for the next 10 days or so as we wait and see how high the water goes.
