"Double Trouble: Consecutive Snow Systems Set to Hit Midwest and Great Lakes"

Two separate weather systems are expected to bring much-needed moisture to Minnesota, with the first system likely to bring 2-5 inches of snow from Thursday night into Friday morning, favoring the northern Twin Cities. The second system from Sunday through Tuesday could bring heavy precipitation totals of 1-3 inches, with the potential for a snow-to-rain transition, especially in southern Minnesota. This comes as a relief for the state, where about 75 percent is currently experiencing drought conditions.
