NEXT Weather: High impacts from snow and ice expected beginning late Monday
MINNEAPOLIS -- Winter could be making a return early in the new year.
After a quiet New Year's Day, we jump into our next winter event that should impact both Monday and Tuesday.
A winter storm watch is in effect for Monday night into Tuesday. This to likely evolve into a more confirmed winter alert by the National Weather Service.
These conditions make Tuesday a NEXT Weather Alert day, with high to major impacts expected across parts of the state, predominately the southern half.
A 3rd winter storm in 3 weeks is how most will start the 2023 work year. 🚨 NEXT Weather ALERT for high impacts from snow/ice, late Monday thru Tuesday night. The amount of mixing will determine snow totals; I'll detail all the scenarios at halftime streaming on @CBSNews #MNwx pic.twitter.com/rOkH04f1fV

Rain, freezing rain and snow are all possible from the Twin Cities on south, starting Monday night and going into early Tuesday. Augustyniak said that the snow will push from 8 to 12 inches in a narrow band somewhere in Minnesota, including possibly the metro area.
After that, temperatures should take a dip going into Wednesday and Thursday, with highs in the low 20s or upper teens.
