A Winter Weather Advisory and Winter Storm Warning remain in effect for the region until Wednesday morning.

The storm is predicted to arrive Monday evening.

It can be very tempting to go down to check out huge waves when they develop on Lake Superior. However, while this storm is raging, that could be a very dangerous idea.

The Rochester area, along with most of southern Minnesota, much of Wisconsin and northeast Iowa, remain in the bullseye for what forecasters are describing as a powerful and dangerous storm system.

The first major snowstorm of the season for southeastern Minnesota is causing travel headaches in southeastern Minnesota, where National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning through noon on Sunday.

Travel in southwestern Minnesota is nearly impossible today because of blizzard conditions.

A winter storm warning is in effect from northwest Minnesota through southeast Minnesota and west central Wisconsin from Monday morning through Tuesday morning. A winter weather advisory is in effect for surrounding locations where less snow is expected.
