MESSY SPRING SYSTEM BRINGS FREEZING RAIN, SLEET, AND SNOW THROUGH THIS MORNING
- Western and central Minnesota will experience mainly slushy wet snow with accumulations of 2 to 4 inches, meanwhile rain is favored in southern and southeastern Minnesota. In between the snow and rain, a messy wintry mix of sleet and freezing rain will result in ice accumulations and slippery travel. There is still a moderate degree of uncertainty regarding ice accumulation amounts, due to temperatures being very close to freezing and a fluctuation of only a degree or two likely having a large impact on final amounts.
The greatest impacts from icing and freezing rain will occur over western Wisconsin and east-central Minnesota, with accumulations up to a quarter inch in Minnesota and a few tenths of an inch in Wisconsin. Power outages are possible due to icing of power lines in addition to gusty winds, and slippery to impossible travel will occur where ice accumulates. Slow travel from wet slushy snow is expected in western and central Minnesota.
-
WHAT: Mixed precipitation. Additional snow accumulations between 1 and 3 inches, sleet accumulations around one half of an inch, and ice accumulations around a light glaze.
-
WHERE: Benton, Kandiyohi, Meeker, Morrison, Stearns, Todd, Kanabec, Mille Lacs, Chippewa, Douglas, Lac Qui Parle, Pope, Stevens, Swift, and Yellow Medicine Counties.
-
WHEN: Until 7 PM CDT this evening.
-
IMPACTS: Plan on slippery road conditions. The hazardous conditions will impact the Thursday morning and evening commutes.
