Update: Up to a Foot of Snow Could Be Headed to Twin Cities

Don't put away your snow shovel and snowplow just yet.

Another winter storm, the third in four weeks, is predicted to arrive in the Twin Cities area Sunday night, dropping heavy snow through Monday and bringing some windy conditions to make the morning commute difficult. 

The National Weather Service in Chanhassen has issued a winter storm warnlng for this yet-to-be-named system, which is coming across the Rockies Sunday. Significant snowfall is forecasted for Monday and into Tuesday.

A complete rundown of the system, and the NWS forecast, can be seen in the YouTube video.
