The low will continue to move east across northern Minnesota tonight but gradually weaken. Heaviest snow with this system will fall along and north of Highway 2 in North Dakota where winter storm warnings are in effect. Snowfall amounts will be less in northwestern Minnesota and also farther south toward I-94 from this system. Snow will end by midnight in eastern ND and Monday morning over Minnesota.

Additional snow showers are expected across the region today, with highly variable snow amounts dependent on where they track, and how long they last. The best chance for 3 inches or more is towards the International Border (60% chance), however similar totals can't be ruled out elsewhere if moderate showers linger over one location long enough (30% chance). Northwest winds will increase today with gusts to 45 mph mainly in eastern ND and the Red River Valley of west central MN. Where the winds and snow showers combine, intermittent periods of near whiteout conditions will be possible through this afternoon.
