Snow and Ice Amounts Late Thur Night Into Saturday

The next round of rain and wintry mix will spread into the area late tonight, continue through the day Friday, and gradually taper off Friday night into early Saturday morning. Slick roads are likely north of Interstate 90 into Friday. Most icing will occur on elevated surfaces, like bridges, overpasses, trees, and power lines. If you have late week travel plans, please check road conditions before leaving, and drive with extra caution along the way.

A wintry mix of freezing rain, sleet, snow, and some liquid rain in the south, will return to the area late tonight. This will continue through most of the day Friday, and then gradually taper off Friday night into early Saturday morning. Greater snow and ice accumulations are expected north of Interstate 90 in South Dakota and southwest Minnesota. Snowfall will mainly be 1 to 3 inches, and ice will only be 2 tenths of an inch or less, in these areas. Near and south of Interstate 90, snow and ice are expected to be minimal.
