Rain turns to snow on Halloween in Twin Cities, Duluth. What you need to know

1 minute, 32 seconds Read

A dire forecast is looming for Halloween across much of Minnesota, as rain is likely to turn to snow – possibly heavy at times – from the Twin Cities north to Duluth.

Winter weather advisories go into effect Thursday morning from McLeod, Sibley and Le Sueur counties northeast through most of the Twin Cities metro area and along the Interstate 35 corridor to Pine City, Cloquet and the Twin Ports. These clues will run throughout the afternoon.

The National Weather Service said advisory areas could see 2 to 4 inches of snow, with even higher amounts locally.

Snowfall rates of 1 inch per hour are possible in some areas. A few embedded thunderstorms are also possible, which “could increase snow rates even further,” the weather service said.

A winter weather advisory is also in effect for northwestern Wisconsin from Thursday morning through Thursday evening.

Rain and snow will be joined by gusty winds and falling temperatures. Rainfall is expected to largely stop before trick-or-treaters get underway Thursday evening.
