Winter Weather Advisory issued April 2 at 6:59AM CDT until April 2 at 10:00AM CDT by NWS Twin Cities/Chanhassen MN
...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 up to one
inch, sleet accumulations up to one tenth of an inch, and ice
accumulations around a light glaze.
* WHERE...McLeod, Renville, Sherburne, Sibley, Wright, Anoka,
Chisago, Isanti, Blue Earth, Brown, Nicollet, Steele, Waseca,
Watonwan, and Redwood Counties.
* WHEN...Until 10 AM CDT this morning.
* IMPACTS...Plan on slippery road conditions. The hazardous
conditions will impact the Thursday morning commute.
Slow down and use caution while traveling. Call 5 1 1 or visit
511mn.org for road conditions.
Be prepared for slippery roads. Slow down and use caution while
driving. If you are going outside, watch your first few steps taken
on stairs, sidewalks, and driveways. These surfaces could be icy and
slippery, increasing your risk of a fall and injury.
