National Weather Service now predicts ‘wintry mix’ tonight, followed by up to six inches of snow by Monday morning.
Winter Storm Orko is expected to reach the Twin Cities region tonight, but areas south of the Minnesota River should be spared the brunt of that storm.

The advisory, in effect from midnight Sunday through late Monday for Dakota, Rice and Scott counties, says two to six inches of snow could fall by Monday morning, with the amount of accumulation increasing from south to north.

Wind chills could reach dangerous lows on Sunday and Monday nights.
There's cold, and there's Minneapolis cold. The Twin Cities area is about to get the kind of freeze-your-face-off Arctic temperatures that give Midwesterners their reputation for hardiness.

The National Weather Service predicts that as much as four inches of snow could fall on the southeastern metro area.
Inver Grove Heights could pick up as much as four inches of snow beginning late Tuesday night and extending into Wednesday morning, according to the National Weather Service.
