Metro Nowcast: Snow tapers 6-8pm

A quick micro-update on snow trends.

Radar and satellite trends and surface reports indicate the back edge of the snow is just west of the metro...moving quickly east. Snow is beginning to taper off in the west metro, and will diminish from west to east between now (west) and 8pm. (east metro)

Latest trends indicate snowfall should taper off before kickoff time at TCF Bank Stadium for the Vikings MNF game!

In the mean time heavy snow has made for a horrible, near gridlock rush hour in the metro.

Chaos at I-394 & Plymouth Road.

Thankfully the end of the heavy snow is in sight.
