Widespread rain and freezing rain is forecast for the much of the Upper Midwest this weekend. There have been reports of slick roads in Eastern South Dakota and a coating of ice from one quarter inch to a half an inch in the Twin Cities making travel almost impossible.
The freezing rain has already been an apparent cause for power outages in the area. According to the SDREA, 29 are without power in Deuel County, 17 in Lake County, 8 in Pipestone County and 489 without power in Minnehaha County.
Brookings could potentially see up to a 0.1 of an inch of ice accumulation today into Sunday.
