Icy and snow tonight and Saturday

ROCHESTER, Minn. (KTTC) – We’re in for a cold, sunny day before a storm brings wintry weather to start the weekend. Bright sun is expected today, in the afternoon the clouds will slowly thicken. The high temperature will be in the teens with an increased southwesterly wind.

Roads are likely to become slippery this evening, with much of the area covered in ice. Temperatures will hover in the teens this evening before rising into the 20s later, with southeasterly winds picking up.

Saturday is the first day of concern for snow and ice that could cause slippery road conditions. Expect freezing rain, sleet and snow during the day with a thin layer of ice. Snowfall totals could reach an inch or a little more in some places, but overall it appears to be a light layer of accumulation. Temperatures will hover in the low 30s, with gusty southeast winds as high as 25 mph.

High temperatures will reach 30 degrees this weekend. Readings will be in the 20s for most of next week.

My one-minute prediction for Friday, December 13, 2024. Cold sunshine will give way to an icy mix tonight. Expect freezing rain and snow across the area, leading to slick roads through Saturday. The high temperature this weekend will be 30 degrees. Another light snow is possible next Wednesday. #kttcwx #minnesota #synoptic #weather
