Areas south of the Twin Cities should brace for some snow Monday night as a wintry mix moves through.

Precipitation isn't expected to begin until the early evening hours, with rain transitioning to snow at around midnight.

A winter weather advisory will be in effect from midnight to 9 a.m. on Tuesday in parts of southern Minnesota, according to the National Weather Service.   

Most of the precipitation is expected to be south of Interstate 94. The south metro is looking to get less than a half-inch of slushy snow and impacts to the Tuesday morning commute will likely be minimal.

A narrow, heavier snow band could potentially drop 1 to 3 inches of slushy snow between the south metro and Interstate 90. Cities with heavier snow could include Red Wing, Zumbrota, Wabasha, Winona and Chatfield. 

Highs on Monday were expected to be in the lower 40s, with cloudy skies.

Above-average highs in the upper 40s are expected by midweek and low 40s for the rest of the week.

The next precipitation chance is rain on Thursday.
