Weather wise, it’s messy out there. An ice storm will make travel difficult to impossible across parts of the region, the National Weather Service says. A quarter inch to half an inch of ice accumulation is expected. The ice should be winding down by Wednesday morning.
The ice storm warning stands until 6 p.m. Tuesday. West-central Minnesota and southeast North Dakota are most affected, the worst impacts are west of Fargo and Wahpeton, N.D. The weather service says power outages and tree damage are likely due to the ice and warns folks not to travel. Expect highs in the low 30s the rest of the workweek.
