April begins with a wintry mix and the potential for measurable snow in northern and western Minnesota. In the metro, a rain-snow mix will shift to rain Tuesday night and continue into Wednesday.

Northern Minnesota got hit Tuesday night and Wednesday by snow, while the Twin Cities got mostly rain, snow and sleet.

As we slowly wave goodbye to freezing temperatures and snowy weather, we welcome Minnesota’s 5th season—road construction.

A messy spring storm will bring a broad swath of precipitation across the northern plains beginning Saturday as rain before transitioning to a wintry mix of sleet, freezing rain, and snow.
