Are you ready for winter? We may get a taste of it tonight.
The National Weather Service says Eagan and Dakota County could see light snow with possible slushy accumulations beginning tonight and into Wednesday. A potent November storm is expected to sweep through southeastern Minnesota, northeastern Iowa and portions of Wisconsin where a Winter Storm Watch is in effect through tomorrow.
Roads around the metro area could become slippery, especially on ramps and overpasses, as rainfall combined with dropping temperatures may create icy patches.
The snow is expected to taper off Wednesday morning and may be gone shortly afterward as temperatures make a recovery.
Travel in southeastern Minnesota could become difficult with heavier accumulations and reduced visibility tonight through tomorrow morning.
November weather can be a mixed bag in Minnesota. According to the National Weather Service on this date in 1999, the Twin Cities experienced temperatures in the 70s with 80s recorded in some portions of the state shattering records. A severe ice storm hit the Twin Cities on this date in 1943 with some southern portions of the state picking up 16 inches of snow.
