NO DATE (WJON News) — The next round of snow and mixed precipitation will move through Minnesota by midweek.
The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Watch including Stearns and Benton counties. It will be in operation from Monday to the end of Wednesday until the end of Wednesday.

The heaviest snow will fall near and northwest of Alexandria. It’s too early to cut amounts, but confidence is strong enough to have issued a winter storm warning for snowfall amounts.
Further south and east of Alexandria is where the type of precipitation becomes a problem due to the narrow temperature gradient. This is also the area where icing is most likely to occur.
The area outlined in a dotted white oval (near Willmar to St. Cloud) is where the greatest uncertainty remains as to whether it will be snow, rain or ice.
Areas southeast of this oval can expect (at this point, forecasts can and will change) mostly rain.
A blizzard is likely in western and central Minnesota, with winds over 40 MPH.
