Twin Cities Brace for Icy Weekend with Snow and Freezing Rain Alerts

A wintry mix of sleet, freezing drizzle, and snow is expected to impact Minnesota, particularly the Twin Cities, from Friday night into Saturday. The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory due to potential slippery travel conditions caused by ice and snow accumulations. The precipitation will begin as snow and sleet, transitioning to freezing rain and snow by Saturday morning, with ice accumulations expected to be less than a tenth of an inch. Temperatures will rise into the 30s on Sunday, helping to melt any remaining ice.
