Here comes the next icy glaze across much of central and southern Minnesota.

A weak low-pressure system crossing our region has enough moisture to drop an icy glaze that will coat untreated roads and other surfaces overnight into Tuesday morning.

The Canadian model seems to have the best handle on precipitation type and coverage overnight into Tuesday. The forecast model loop below between 6 p.m. Monday and 6 p.m. Tuesday shows rain and icy precipitation crossing our region.

Winter weather advisories cover most of central and southern Minnesota overnight.

Here’s the National Weather Service advisory:

Mille Lacs-Kanabec-Sherburne-Isanti-Chisago-Wright-Hennepin-Anoka- Ramsey-Washington-McLeod-Sibley-Carver-Scott-Dakota-

Including the cities of Blaine, Center City, Monticello, Chanhassen, Victoria, Shakopee, Princeton, Chaska, Cambridge, Mora, Hutchinson, Hastings, Gaylord, Stillwater, St Paul, Minneapolis, and Elk River

1120 AM CST Mon Jan 5 2026

…WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 9 PM THIS EVENING TO NOON CST TUESDAY…

* WHAT…Freezing rain expected. Total ice accumulations up to one tenth of an inch.

* WHERE…McLeod, Sherburne, Sibley, Wright, Anoka, Carver, Chisago, Dakota, Hennepin, Isanti, Kanabec, Mille Lacs, Ramsey, Scott, and Washington Counties.

* WHEN…From 9 PM this evening to noon CST Tuesday.

* IMPACTS…Difficult travel conditions are possible. The hazardous conditions could impact the Tuesday morning commute.

Temperatures will dip into the 20s overnight into Tuesday morning. That means untreated surfaces will be sporting an icy glaze.

Remember that untreated driveways, sidewalks, and parking lots will be slick for walking! Roads deservedly get plenty of attention but many injuries occur from slipping on ice while walking in our Minnesota winters.

Temperatures will warm into the 30s and 40s around Minnesota Wednesday so we’ll thaw out after this latest icy smudge.

In the meantime be careful out there!
