Red Wing, MN – A Winter Storm Warning remains in effect until 6 a.m. this morning for Goodhue County, where light snow continues to fall and roads remain slick from overnight accumulation.
According to the National Weather Service in the Twin Cities/Chanhassen, an additional inch of snow may fall through the early morning hours before tapering off near daybreak. The light but persistent snowfall is expected to cause slippery and hazardous travel, particularly on bridges, overpasses, and untreated roads.
Forecasters say snow will gradually end by sunrise, but lingering ice and slush will keep travel conditions challenging through the morning commute. Drivers traveling along Highway 61 or through the city of Red Wing should plan for reduced speeds and longer travel times.
Motorists are advised to allow extra time, use caution on turns and hills, and check 511mn.org for real-time road conditions before heading out.
Weather conditions are expected to improve by mid-morning, with temperatures remaining below freezing and roads staying slick in shaded or untreated areas.
