Rain-to-Snow Mix Brushes Southern Minnesota and Western Wisconsin Tuesday Morning

Most areas see slushy, minor build-up that fades by early afternoon as a milder stretch returns.

Overview

  • The National Weather Service issued a winter weather advisory for parts of south-central Minnesota and western Wisconsin, where 2 to 3 inches of slushy accumulation is possible.
  • Overnight cold rain transitions to a wintry mix during the mid-to-late morning commute, with the changeover most likely between about 9 and 11 a.m.
  • The most favorable corridor for measurable snow runs along US Highway 14 from Marshall through Mankato and Rochester into western Wisconsin.
  • In southeast Wisconsin, areas far north of I-94 and near I-41, including Fond du Lac and western Sheboygan counties, could pick up up to 1 inch of slush, while the Milwaukee lakeshore stays mainly rain.
  • Road impacts remain limited to isolated slick spots on bridges and elevated surfaces as precipitation tapers by midday and temperatures trend into the 40s and 50s later this week.
