Road conditions: Rainy mix could create some slick spots in southern MN

HUTCHINSON, Minn. (FOX 9) - A rainy mix could create some slick spots on roads in south central Minnesota on Tuesday morning. 

Road conditions from rainy mix

Local perspective:

As of 8:10 a.m., MnDOT has reported light slush, damp pavement, and slick spots on roads in southeastern Minnesota, and just south of the Twin Cities metro near Lakeville.

The rain is mostly concentrated in south central Minnesota, going as far north as Jordan to Lakeville to Hastings, missing the majority of the Twin Cities metro.

While a few sleet pellets or snowflakes might mix in, anything more than a dusting, if that, is unlikely. The rainy mix is expected to move east by mid to late morning, leaving a mostly dry day behind. 

What you can do:

You can find the latest road conditions on MnDOT’s website 511.org.
