The current forecast is calling for snow likely after 1:00 PM in the Saint Cloud area, with a total accumulation of 1 to 3 inches, but that could increase or decrease if the storm track shifts in one directory or another.
In addition to the potential for accumulating snow, temperatures are expected to remain below normal for several days, with highs in the thirties through the week, climbing to the forties this weekend. The normal high for today is 43.
