A Special Weather Statement issued by the National Weather Service Twin Cities/Chanhassen MN warns Minnesota and Wisconsin residents of rain mixing with or changing to snow on Thursday morning. Widespread rain overnight will transition to snow as much colder air moves in, potentially leading to hazardous travel conditions. A narrow band of heavy snow is expected to develop, with several inches of slushy accumulation possible. However, the exact location of this band remains uncertain, with central Minnesota and northwestern Wisconsin being the most likely areas affected. Travelers are advised to monitor updated forecasts and be prepared for rapidly changing conditions if traveling on Thursday. While areas outside of the heavy snow band may not see much accumulation due to warm ground conditions and daytime temperatures in the mid-30s, the potential for heavy snow rates could impact travel in certain areas. Stay informed and stay safe during this weather event.
