...MESSY SPRING STORM TO BRING PERIODS OF ICE AND SNOW... .A messy spring storm will bring a broad swath of precipitation across the northern plains beginning Saturday as rain before transitioning to a wintry mix of sleet, freezing rain, and snow. Rain will arrive midday Saturday before becoming a wintry mix Saturday night and eventually snow into early Sunday. The best chance for snow accumulations will be in central and western Minnesota where the transition to snow happens earlier. The best chance for ice accumulation, primarily in the form of freezing rain, will be south of the higher snow amounts but north of where rain is favored. The highest icing amounts of around a tenth of an inch are possible in western Wisconsin, with the highest snow amounts of 2 to 4 inches in parts of western and central Minnesota. Further adjustments to the advisory and forecast will take place during the day as more high resolution guidance comes into play, however confidence is high that impacts due to icing and snow will occur due to this system. Conditions should improve during the day on Sunday as high temperatures above freezing are expected. * WHAT...Mixed precipitation expected. Total snow accumulations up to 3 inches, and ice accumulations up to one tenth of an inch. Winds gusting as high as 35 mph. * WHERE...Portions of central, east central, south central, and southwest Minnesota. * WHEN...From 10 PM this evening to 4 PM CDT Sunday. * IMPACTS...Plan on slippery road conditions.
