Sub-Zero Wind Chills to Open the Weekend

Much Colder this Weekend

Multiple disturbances will bring snow to the region today through Friday. The highest snow totals are expected in western Wisconsin, which should see slow from all the disturbances we see over the next couple of days. In addition to the snow, wind gusts to between 40 and 50 mph in open areas of western and southern Minnesota will result in reduced visibilities from blowing snow and attendant hazardous travel conditions.

The strongest winds will be across western Minnesota on Friday. The combination of gusty winds and snow showers may create hazardous travel conditions due to reduced visibility.

Much colder air will follow the light snow chances. Wind chills are forecast to run between -15 to -25 Saturday across western Minnesota.

A surge of colder Arctic air is set to arrive this weekend. Highs will struggle to warm into the single digits and wind chill temperatures will be below zero. Light snow chances this afternoon through Friday night. Inch or so total for MN with 2 to 4 possible in W WI.
