Heavy Snowfall Predicted Tonight
Heavy snowfall is anticipated tonight across the stateline, with conditions expected to worsen over the next few hours. According to meteorological reports, snow will start to blanket the area around 9 PM, gaining intensity around midnight, and is projected to conclude by early Sunday morning, roughly between 4 AM and 5 AM.
Snow Accumulation and Weather Advisory
A winter weather advisory is currently in effect for the region. Forecasts indicate total snowfall accumulation of 3 to 5 inches. This expected accumulation remains consistent with earlier reports.
Post-Snow Sunday Weather
Once the snow subsides on Sunday, clouds will gradually dissipate, allowing sunshine to return. However, the temperature will not rise significantly. An Alberta clipper system will bring brisk northerly winds, pushing temperatures into the lower 20s. Wind gusts may reach 25 mph, resulting in wind chills plummeting to the single digits.
- Snow start time: 9 PM
- Peak snowfall: Midnight
- Snow end time: 4 AM – 5 AM Sunday

Frigid Temperatures Ahead
Sunday night will see a significant drop in temperatures, likely falling to the lower single digits. Light winds of 5 to 10 mph will create extremely cold wind chills—severe enough to reach between -5°F and -10°F.
What to Expect on Monday
As the cold spell continues into Monday, initial temperatures will feel brisk, but are expected to rise slightly into the lower 20s during the day. The skies will be predominantly cloudy, with a potential for light snow in the evening as a weather disturbance moves in from Wisconsin.
Upcoming Snow Chances
Looking ahead, numerous opportunities for snow will emerge throughout the week. Several disturbances from Canada are likely to affect the Midwest. The most significant of these could occur on Tuesday, with temperatures hovering around freezing during the day. Precipitation may begin as rain before transitioning to a wintry mix by evening, resulting in possible slushy conditions by Wednesday morning.
Following this spell of slightly warmer weather on Tuesday and Wednesday, another wave of arctic air is forecast to sweep through the region, reinforcing the frigid temperatures once again late next week.
