...MIXED WINTER EVENT WITH SNOW, SLEET, AND ICE ACCUMULATION TODAY INTO SATURDAY... .A mixed precipitation event will unfold across Minnesota into Wisconsin today into tomorrow. Across parts of central Minnesota, this will mainly fall as snow with up to 7 inches possible. Farther south, a band of freezing rain and sleet from southwest Minnesota to northwest Wisconsin will see ice accumulations up to two tenths of an inch. There will be a sharp cutoff in these ice accumulations, as this will be very sensitive to where the freezing line sets up. So additional shifts in the southward extent maybe needed later in the day.
