URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE

...MESSY SPRING STORM TO BRING PERIODS OF ICE AND SNOW...

.A messy spring storm will bring a broad swath of precipitation 
across the Upper Midwest. Rain will arrive this afternoon before 
becoming a wintry mix late tonight and eventually snow for much of 
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 may take place 
today 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 by late day Sunday as high 
temperatures above freezing are expected.
