A wintry mix of light snow and freezing drizzle is forecast to move into central Minnesota near the Brainerd Lakes late this evening and spread east into northwest Wisconsin tonight into Monday morning. Freezing drizzle accumulations up to a couple hundredths of an inch are possible from the Brainerd Lakes into east-central Minnesota with little to no snow accumulations. Over Wisconsin, snow is more likely with a light dusting up to around one inch of accumulation possible through Monday morning with up to a couple hundredths of freezing drizzle accumulations, as well. This precipitation could make the Monday morning commute slick and hazardous. Freezing drizzle may quickly coat roadways with a thin layer of ice that may be undetectable. Please use extreme caution... especially on bridges...overpasses and around curves. Allow plenty of stopping distance and avoid braking suddenly.
