The National Weather Service has posted a winter storm watch starting at 6 pm tomorrow for the Twin Cities which could see 5 to 7 inches of snow.

In other words, today is officially the calm before the storm.

You can watch the Updraft weather blog for updates on the storm and another significant batch of snow which could happen late Friday into Saturday.
