The Minnesota Department of Transportation reported that Road Weather Information Systems stations are now active in seven central Minnesota locations, with highway camera views available at 511mn.org

RWIS collects and processes current weather and road surface data and sends the data to both the National Weather Service and the Minnesota 511 traveler information system. MNDoT uses the information and images gathered by the cameras to help with maintenance decisions. 

The new RWIS stations are located in Aitkin, Cass, Mille Lacs, Stearns and Todd counties. The new stations bring the total of active RWIS stations in Minnesota to 153.
