You know the phrase "everything but the kitchen sink"? Well, this week's weather is everything INCLUDING the kitchen sink. Stay weather aware this week if you plan to leave your house. Temps forecast to be near & above freezing are creating a messy forecast. #MNwx #WIwx
Three day forecast with highs in the mid 30s and lows in the upper 20s to low 30s. Multiple chances for snow, rain, sleet, and freezing rain this week. Tuesday will be wet for everyone, while Wednesday could bring a brief dry period for some before snow returns on Thursday.

5 things to know about winter weather forecasts: 1. snow and ice totals can vary greatly over short distances. 2. winter forecasts can change quickly. 3. Focus more on the winter storm's impact than exact numbers/totals. 4. Know your weather terminology and the different between warnings, watches, and advisories. 5. Rely on dependable sources for weather information.

Traveling today? The weather is mostly good for hitting the road or the skies. Heads up for some rain if you're headed south. #kare11weather

Rain holds off for the morning rush but you will want your rain gear handy for the rest of the day, especially the Friday night football games! #kare11weather
