We’re watching our next weather system spin toward Minnesota Friday night and Saturday.
On the map below, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s High-Resolution Rapid Refresh model shows the system’s mix of snow and ice spinning northward between 6 p.m. Friday and noon Saturday.
This system will bring a wintry mix of precipitation types. Temperatures near freezing in the lowest mile of the atmosphere will produce sloppy snow, freezing rain and possibly sleet.
A winter weather advisory is posted for southwestern Minnesota starting Friday evening.
