National Weather Service Issues Winter Storm Warning; Snow, Sleet Predicted

Expect sleet and rain in addition to snow, according to a warning issued Tuesday morning.

Minnesotans will have to wait a little longer for the arrival of spring temperatures; winter weather will be back in force this week, according to a winter storm warning issued Tuesday by the National Weather Service.

Forecasters are calling for 6-12 inches of snow, sleet and rain across central Minnesota and the Twin Cities area. The first line of wintry precipitation is expected to hit the metro on Tuesday afternoon, with snow expected as temperatures drop on Wednesday. More sleet and rain may come on Thursday as the snow tapers off on Thursday morning, according to the weather service.

Strong winds are also possible with this storm, and as much as a tenth of an inch of ice could accumulate during this weather system, forecasters say.
