MN weather: Freezing rain possible overnight
FOX 9's Ian Leonard has the latest as the Twin Cities could see freezing rain overnight, making for difficult driving conditions Tuesday morning.
MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - If you’re on Minnesota roads Monday night or Tuesday morning, be prepared for some potentially slick conditions.
Overnight conditions
What we know:
FOX 9 Meteorologist Ian Leonard says temperatures will hold near freezing Monday night, as a narrow band of rain rolls out of southwestern Minnesota and tracks east to northeast across portions of the state. That includes the Twin Cities metro.
Rain, freezing rain and fog are all a part of the scenario after 8 p.m. The possibility of freezing in the Twin Cities is temperature dependent, up until the rain starts. A degree or two across as small as just one county will create a definitive line of rain, or freezing rain.
The greatest threat of freezing rain will be between 10 p.m. Monday and 3 p.m. Tuesday, with an overnight low in the 20s.
Tuesday forecast
Why you should care:
Tuesday will start foggy and be mostly gray with a high in the low 30s. If we get precipitation in the form of freezing rain, the morning commute will be slick with icy roads.
The rest of the week will continue to stay gray with highs in the 30s the rest of the week.
Weekend look-ahead
What's next:
Saturday looks to be mild for January with a high in the upper 20s and a chance for snow showers. The sun could return Sunday, with a high near 30.
