Minnesota residents should prepare for severe winter weather as the state braces for significant snowfall and cloudy conditions expected throughout the day on December 19, 2024. According to reports from Fox Weather, the northeastern part of Minnesota is predicted to bear the brunt of an incoming winter storm, with snowfall amounts hitting as high as 8 inches in some areas, particularly around Duluth. The National Weather Service has issued winter weather advisories in anticipation of the snow, which is expected to start early in the day and continue into the evening. ‘Travel could be very difficult, especially in the northwoods areas,’ warned meteorologist Jonathan Yuhas from Fox 9. Ensuing visibility issues and potential road closures may further complicate the situation. CBS News Minnesota also highlighted that Minneapolis will experience several inches of snow with heightened wind gusts causing blowing snow conditions. As temperatures hover around freezing, icy conditions from the combination of snow and rain could create dangerous roadways. ‘Stay informed and avoid unnecessary travel,’ advised Yuhas, stressing on the importance of safety during the hazardous weather forecast.
