Local perspective:
Snowfall rates have a chance to increase this evening from south central Minnesota into western Wisconsin.
This could create times of reduced visibility and dangerous travel.
Freezing rain has been reported since Saturday afternoon, with many roadways on 511mn.org reporting wintry precipitation leading to slick travel.
A winter weather advisory remains in place through 1 p.m. for western Minnesota and 5 p.m. for central Minnesota with the continued threat of ice glazing and snowfall accumulations of 1–3 inches.
This is expected to bring slippery travel concerns throughout the rest of the day.
