Update: Winter Weather Advisory Issued for Central MN

UNDATED (WJON News) -- The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for much of Central Minnesota.

The advisory will be in effect from 7:00 p.m. on Saturday until 7:00 p.m. on Sunday.

Mixed precipitation expected. Total snow accumulations between 2 and 4 inches and ice accumulations around one tenth of an inch.

However, scattered storms are possible once again Friday evening. The National Weather Service says scattered thunderstorms could develop along a cold front Friday evening across southern and eastern Minnesota. A couple could be strong or severe with large hail and gusty winds. There is a level 1 of 5 risk.

Widespread rain is expected on Saturday, with a wintry mix on Sunday.

A combination of storms, widespread rain, a wintry mix, and snow bring moisture to Minnesota and Wisconsin.

Widespread rain will transition to a wintry mix of snow and freezing rain on Saturday evening. Minor ice accumulations and snow accumulations of a few inches are likely across central Minnesota and northwest Wisconsin.

Counties in far northern Minnesota will be under a Winter Storm Watch on Saturday and Sunday. There is a chance of accumulating snow and ice, with a few inches of accumulation possible.

More wintry weather, including the potential for more accumulating snow, will be possible with a storm system that will impact the region in the middle of next week.
