Winter Weather Advisory
...HAZARDOUS TRAVEL CONDITIONS TO PERSIST TODAY DUE TO BLOWING SNOW AND SLIPPERY ROADS... .Although the potent storm system responsible for the blizzard conditions and accumulating snow has shifted east of the area, its residual impacts will persist across central and southern MN through western WI. Road conditions are still hazardous due to icy layers under the accumulating snow, while elevated winds are still producing reduced visibility and blowing snow conditions. These elements will make for hazardous travel conditions through the day today, even with winds diminishing and partial clearing by later today. If necessary to be out traveling today, motorists are urged to allow plenty of extra travel time and allow plenty of space between vehicles as slippery roads may still be encountered. * WHAT...Blowing snow and slippery roads, bridges and overpasses. * WHERE...Portions of central, east central, south central, southeast, southwest, and west central Minnesota and northwest and west central Wisconsin. * WHEN...Until 6 PM CST this evening. * IMPACTS...Roads, and especially bridges and overpasses, are likely slick and hazardous. The hazardous conditions will impact the Monday morning and evening commutes.
