NEXT Weather: Morning report

MINNEAPOLIS -- Though the sun will help melt the roads throughout the day, they froze overnight, making for a slippery morning drive.

WCCO issued a Next Weather Alert until noon Saturday because of the widespread icy roads and windblown snow.

One inch of snow fell at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport overnight. Areas outside the metro saw less than an inch.

Temperatures took a dive overnight as well; compared to Friday morning, Saturday morning was 25 degrees colder. Wind chills will ease throughout the day, bringing the high temperature to 19 in the metro.

Sunday morning will start out warmer as well, and temps will climb throughout the day. 

The next snow chance is light and expected Monday to hit southern Minnesota mainly and avoid the Twin Cities.
