Saturday morning will be dry in most areas, with a shower chance in southeastern Minnesota by late morning.
The shower chance expands to cover much of the southern half of Minnesota and parts of western Wisconsin Saturday afternoon, with a rain/snow mix possible to the north. That mix transitions to light snow Saturday evening. The areas with afternoon rain showers (including the metro) could see a changeover to a rain/snow mix Saturday evening, then to all snow for awhile before it tapers off later Saturday evening. A few flurries are possible on Sunday.
