MN Weather: Mix Of Rain, Snow In Tuesday Night Forecast
"Some of the precipitation may come as a rain, snow or freezing rain mixture," the National Weather Service said.
TWIN CITIES, MN — A wintry mix late Tuesday night could make for a messy Wednesday morning commute.
"Precipitation may develop over central Minnesota this evening then spread over eastern Minnesota into western Wisconsin overnight. Some of the precipitation may come as a rain, snow or freezing rain mixture," the National Weather Service said.
"While the amounts will be light and be of short duration or intermittent nature, there is the concern that the timing is during the nighttime hours and that it comes early on in the winter precipitation season. Areas along and north of Interstate 94 are most susceptible. Motorists should check road conditions if venturing out and be prepared if this wintry precipitation develops."
