Mix of snow, sleet, rain coming Saturday
Minnesota is in for "complicated" winter weather Saturday, WCCO's Mike Augustyniak says, that could include sleet, freezing rain and rain in the Twin Cities. Expect between "a slushy inch and a slushy 3 to 4 inches," he says.
It'll be a "slop storm," MPR's Updraft blog says.
Northern parts of the state will get snow, forecasters say. KARE 11's Sven Sundgaard says the Twin Cities will see a high of 36 and a low of 30 Saturday as the storm moves through the state, with snow on the northwest part of the system and a rainy mix on the southeastern portion of it.
