Southwest Minnesota Braces for Icy Travel This Weekend

Hey there, folks! Are you planning to hit the roads this weekend in southwestern Minnesota? The National Weather Service has some news for you. They've issued a Winter Weather Advisory for the area from Friday evening till Saturday morning. Expect a wintry mix of precipitation that could make roads pretty slippery. The advisory covers the southwestern corner of the state. Weather experts predict ice accumulation, with a good chance of it happening along a line from Yankton to Sioux Falls to Marshall. Even in northwestern Iowa, there's a possibility of some ice. But hold on, folks! The exact type, timing, and amount of precipitation could still change. The National Weather Service in the Twin Cities mentions that while this won't be a significant snowfall, the ice could make travel tricky. So, keep an eye out and plan ahead! Temperatures should rise above freezing this weekend, but that doesn't mean roads will be completely ice-free.
