...HAZARDOUS TRAVEL POSSIBLE THIS EVENING DUE TO A BAND OF LIGHT
TO MODERATE SNOWFALL...
AS OF 8 PM, A BAND OF LIGHT TO MODERATE SNOW WAS MOVING EAST
ACROSS WESTERN MN. SURFACE OBSERVATIONS GENERALLY REVEAL
VISIBILITY REDUCTIONS BETWEEN 1-3 MILES WITHIN THE SNOW BAND.
VARIOUS SITES HAVE DROPPED BELOW 1 MILE, THOUGH THIS HAS TYPICALLY
BEEN A SHORT LIVED OCCURRENCE. THE COMBINATION OF FALLING SNOW
AND A DUSTING TO HALF INCH OF SNOW ACCUMULATION MAY CREATE
HAZARDOUS TRAVEL CONDITIONS THIS EVENING. THE BAND IS FORECAST TO
SLIDE EASTWARD ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL MINNESOTA INTO WESTERN
WISCONSIN OVERNIGHT. TRAVELERS SHOULD PREPARE FOR A QUICK
REDUCTION IN VISIBILITY AND SLICK CONDITIONS IF ENCOUNTERING THE
BAND OF SNOW TONIGHT. PLAN AHEAD AND TAKE IT SLOW!
VISIT 511MN.ORG OR 511WI.GOV FOR THE LATEST ROAD CONDITIONS.
