Special Weather Statement issued December 21 at 1:59PM CST by NWS Twin Cities/Chanhassen MN

Effective: Sun December 21, 2025, 1:59 PM
Expires: Mon December 22, 2025, 1:00 AM

A small band of primarily freezing rain and sleet will develop and track east across central and eastern Minnesota into western Wisconsin between 2 AM and 7 AM. An hour or two of this light wintry mix may result in minor ice and sleet accumulations. Slick spots may form on roads and sidewalks in time for the Monday morning commute. Precipitation should become mostly snow as the band pushes farther east into Wisconsin and an inch or so of accumulation is possible. Check road conditions in the morning and plan to give yourself extra time to reach your destination.

A swath of primarily light freezing rain, mixed with snow or sleet at times, will develop and track east across central and eastern Minnesota into western Wisconsin between 2 AM and 7 AM. An hour or two of this light wintry mix may result in minor ice accumulations. Slick spots may form on roads and sidewalks in time for the Monday morning commute. Precipitation should become mostly snow as the band pushes farther east into Wisconsin with up to an inch of snow accumulation possible. Check road conditions in the morning and plan to give yourself extra time to reach your destination.


Special Weather Statement issued December 21 at 8:28PM CST by NWS La Crosse WI

Effective: Sun December 21, 2025, 8:28 PM
Expires: Mon December 22, 2025, 4:00 AM

A quick moving weather system will bring a wintry mix of light snow and light freezing rain to portions of the region early Monday morning, mostly between 2 and 7 am. The precipitation will likely only last 1 to 3 hours at any given location, enough time for spotty icing to accrue on cold, untreated surfaces. Currently, the higher threat for icing lies between the I-90 and I-94 corridors (40 to 60%). Temperatures warm above freezing by late morning. The morning commute could be impacted, including Interstates 90 and 94. Check on road conditions before heading out Monday morning.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
