Light snow may add to already slick roads Tuesday

A fresh round of light snow could make roads slippery for the Tuesday morning commute as crews are still cleaning up from Sunday’s winter storm. FOX 9’s Bill Keller has the latest. 

MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - Light snow early Tuesday morning could worsen road conditions amid ongoing cleanup from Sunday’s winter storm.

Slippery road conditions

Local perspective:

Light flurries and snow showers are expected early Tuesday morning, with freezing drizzle possible in the afternoon. While snowfall amounts remain minimal, the dusting could worsen the slick surfaces left over from Sunday’s snow. 

As of 7 a.m., MnDOT reported road conditions across the Twin Cities metro ranging from light slush to compact snow, with ice on some surfaces. The latest road conditions can be found here. 

The backstory:

The latest round of snow follows a winter storm that created treacherous travel conditions Sunday and Monday, with hundreds of crashes reported statewide. No travel was advised in much of southwestern and south-central Minnesota Sunday through Monday morning.

What's next:

Temperatures will gradually warm to around 32 degrees in the Twin Cities metro on Tuesday, though another round of light snow is possible during the Wednesday morning commute.
