Another Winter Storm Warning Issued for Woodbury; 6-10 Inches Possible

More than halfway through April, but winter still isn't relenting. Forecasters predict significant snowfall tonight across the metro area—and an isolated thunderstorm or two.

Prep your snowblowers and warm up those tired shoveling muscles; another winter storm warning has been issued for Woodbury and much of the Twin Cities area.

The National Weather Service is expecting as much as 6 to 10 inches of snow on Monday night, with snowfall rates of 1 to 2 inches an hour expected. Isolated thunderstorms may be possible in the main band of snow, which will likely stretch from New Ulm across the Twin Cities to Hayward, Wis.

The snowstorm will likely be preceded by rain in the late afternoon, forecasters say. A winter storm warning is in effect.
