Thousands of people in the U.S. could see up to 25 inches of snowfall from Tuesday into Wednesday, and in some areas even continuing through to Saturday, coupled with strong winds as high as 55 mph, according to the National Weather Service (NWS).

High levels of snow and high winds could create blizzard-like conditions, reducing visibility and making driving conditions hazardous, especially during morning and evening commutes.

The NWS has warned residents in Minnesota, particularly in Todd, Morrison, Kanabec, Wadena, Hubbard, Becker, and Otter Tail counties that a “potent storm system” will move across the area on Tuesday through the night, potentially bringing up to 7 inches of snow—with 1 inch per hour expected to fall at times—and winds up to 40 mph.
