...MESSY SPRING STORM TO BRING PERIODS OF ICE AND SNOW...
.A messy spring storm will bring a broad swath of precipitation across the Upper Midwest. Rain this afternoon will transition to a wintry mix tonight and eventually snow for much of Sunday. The best chance for snow accumulations will be in central and western Minnesota where the transition to snow happens earlier. The best chance for ice accumulation, primarily in the form of freezing rain, will be south of the higher snow amounts but north of where rain is favored. The highest icing amounts of around a tenth of an inch are possible in western Wisconsin, with the highest snow amounts of 2 to 4 inches in parts of western and central Minnesota.
Confidence is high that impacts due to icing and snow will occur due to this system. Conditions should improve late day Sunday into Sunday evening as the system moves off to the east.
