Minnesota's first winter storm of the season has arrived, bringing wind, snow and a sharp temperature drop that will make travel difficult. Get the latest updates below.

The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) issued the no travel advisory Tuesday evening. The advisory means there should be no travel on all state or federal highways in the area. The advisory included Interstate 94 from Moorhead to Osakis and Highway 10 from Moorhead to Wadena, MnDOT said.

A winter storm that arrives in Minnesota Tuesday night and continues through Wednesday morning could drop in excess of 10 inches of snow in parts of Minnesota, with gusty winds also creating near-blizzard conditions on the roads.

The metro is in line for 1 to 3 inches Tuesday night into Wednesday; up to 4 inches further north, the National Weather Service said.

After months of clear pavement and summer sunshine, Minnesota's first snowfall of the year is expected on Tuesday. Tow truck crews are preparing for what they say will be a very hectic day or two.

On Tuesday at 2:06 p.m. EST a winter storm warning was released by the National Weather Service valid from Wednesday 1 p.m. EST until Thursday 7 p.m. EST for Luce, Delta and Schoolcraft counties.
