Minnesota Faces Slushy Tuesday Morning Under Winter Weather Advisory

The winter weather advisory has been issued for southern Minnesota and parts of western Wisconsin. Accumulating snow is forecasted for Tuesday morning, marking the first notable snowfall of the season. This weather change could lead to challenging travel conditions, especially during the morning commute.

Minnesota’s Weather Forecast on Tuesday

The transition from rain to snow is expected in the Twin Cities area and southern Minnesota. The National Weather Service anticipates 2 to 3 inches of mixed rain and snow accumulation. This advisory is set to last from Monday night into Tuesday morning.

Expected Snow Accumulation Areas

  • Marshall
  • Redwood Falls
  • Mankato
  • Faribault
  • Rochester

These locations are forecasted to experience the most significant snow accumulation. However, temperatures will rise into the low 40s during the day, meaning much of the snow will likely turn to slush quickly.

Impacts on Commute

Residents in the south metro area should be cautious of slushy spots on their morning commute. The combination of rain and snow could create slippery conditions. It is advisable for drivers to exercise additional care while on the roads.

Upcoming Weather Outlook

After the slushy conditions on Tuesday, temperatures are expected to approach 50 degrees later in the week. A calm and sunny weekend is anticipated, with highs settling in the mid to upper 40s.
