A winter weather advisory is set to commence on Wednesday evening, signaling the arrival of a significant wintry mix. This forecast includes snow, freezing rain, and sleet, expected to persist through Thursday. The National Weather Service office in the Twin Cities has warned of a "very slow & messy commute" for Thursday morning.
Areas in western and central Minnesota are most likely to experience accumulating snow, with predictions ranging from two to four inches. Conversely, regions in far southeastern Minnesota are expected to see more rain. The areas between these zones could face sleet and freezing rain.
In parallel, a more serious winter storm warning has been issued for portions of eastern Minnesota and western Wisconsin. This suggests that these areas may encounter more intense winter weather conditions. Travelers and residents are advised to stay informed about the latest weather updates.
