Cold northwest wind

That strong northwest wind is producing falling temperatures. As temperatures fall below freezing, areas that got rain or had melting snow on Tuesday will experience freezing into ice. Walking and driving could be hazardous.

Twin Cities will get icy

The Twin Cities picked up around an inch of rain since Tuesday morning. The precipitation will end as light snow Wednesday morning with little or no accumulation. Falling temperatures will freeze any standing water into dangerous ice. Watch your step.

Colder Thursday

Colder air will continue to blow into the state for Thursday. Highs will be from the teens to low 20s. The Twin Cities should have a high around 19.

Then moderating

Friday will be less chilly. The weekend will be warmer than normal again.
