Wednesday’s forecast in Minnesota
What to expect:
Snow that fell across parts of central and southern Minnesota Tuesday night into Wednesday morning left some minor accumulation, especially areas just north of the metro, where a winter weather advisory is in effect until around 10 a.m.
The snow created some slushy conditions in the metro, leading to slick spots on roadways, parking lots and sidewalks.
