Strong Winds, Light Snow Prompt Winter Weather Advisory

UNDATED -- We have a Winter Weather Advisory in effect from 9:00 p.m. tonight through noon tomorrow.

Strong winds of 30 to 35 miles an hour will develop over western Minnesota late this evening -- and then move across most of the state.  A few wind gusts to 50 miles an hour are possible.  A strong cold front will enter Minnesota behind the winds.

Some snow will move into parts of central Minnesota tonight.  Accumulations will be an inch or less, but the expected strong winds will cause areas of blowing snow.  Visibilities could be reduced to one-half mile.  The area of greatest risk would be north of a line from Morris to St. Cloud to Cambridge.
