UNDATED (WJON News) -- The southern and central parts of Minnesota are expected to get another round of snow this weekend.

A Winter Storm Warning will be in effect in southern Minnesota from 6:00 p.m. Friday through Saturday evening.

A Winter Weather Advisory will be in effect in central Minnesota from 3:00 a.m. Saturday until 6:00 a.m. Sunday.

Snow and messy travel are expected late Friday night through Saturday night. The heaviest snow will be across southern Minnesota, where amounts over six inches are likely. Lighter amounts on the order of 2-4" are likely farther north into central Minnesota.

This is part of a much larger system that will impact residents in several states.  Some areas in Iowa could see over 15 inches of snow this weekend.

Hourly snowfall rates will not be particularly high; however, the 24-36 hour duration of snowfall will result in gradual accumulation.
