As we bid farewell to winter, a powerful storm is gearing up to make its presence felt this Friday evening.

Strong to severe storms are expected to move through the Quad Cities with threats including very large hail, isolated tornadoes, and damaging winds.

Severe weather is hitting southern Minnesota, and portions of Wisconsin and Iowa on Monday evening, bringing strong winds, giant hail, and tornadoes.

Up to 12 inches of snow is expected in some areas, along with significant sleet and ice accumulations into early Easter morning.

Spring seemed so close, but Mother Nature had other plans. And more snow is on the way this weekend!

Ice storm warnings are only issued once every 4 to 5 years in Wisconsin.

Significant snow, sleet, and ice accumulations are possible into Thursday, with a second storm system approaching on Friday.

Ice and a wintry mix will impact Southeast Minnesota overnight into Thursday, creating hazardous travel conditions before changing back to rain.

Strong winds, low humidity, and very dry vegetation will create a critical risk for wildfires throughout much of Minnesota on Saturday.

March in Minnesota is throwing curveballs again—sunshine one minute, snow the next. Who else is feeling this wild weather whiplash?
