As temps climb into the 60s in the Twin Cities and southern Minnesota on Sunday, multiple storm systems are on deck and could bring accumulating snow to the region later this week.
The first disturbance arrives Tuesday-Wednesday.
“Snow accumulation is possible area wide, but ensemble spread is rather large with specific amounts,” the National Weather Service in the Twin Cities said Sunday morning in its forecast discussion.
After Tuesday-Wednesday, more storms could move through the area.
“The strong jet aloft combined with this parade of weak trough features will allow for the continued chances for rain/snow showers through most of the week and will warrant close monitoring,” the discussion reads. “Next weekend`s system looks to be the most organized of the disturbances, and with more mild March temps, more moisture will be available.”

The NAM model isn’t showing anything too crazy, but it is putting down a couple of inches across parts of Minnesota with the first clipper of snow Monday night and then a broader area of snow on Tuesday-Wednesday
The European model has a similar end result after the snow moves through.
The RRFS model isn’t yet buying into the Tuesday-Wednesday snow. Instead, it’s laying down an extremely narrow band of snow on Monday night into Tuesday morning across central Minnesota.
The Tuesday-Wednesday precipitation will be on the cold side of a very powerful storm system that is presenting significant tornado potential further south in places like Missouri, Iowa, and Illinois.
