URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Twin Cities/Chanhassen MN
316 AM CDT Sat Mar 29 2025

...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.
