Winter storm warnings continue across northern Minnesota through Thursday morning with blizzard warnings for Duluth and the North Shore. Winds have been gusting to more than 60 mph at the Duluth airport and utilities are reporting thousands of homes and businesses without power. There’s even been some lightning amid the heavy snow.

To the south, rain will change over to snow Wednesday. The Twin Cities may get an inch or two by Thursday, with 2 to 4 inches for Willmar and St. Cloud.
