Winds will also increase later Thursday, but even more so on Friday into Saturday as a potent low-pressure system moves through the Upper Midwest.

Behind the system, rain will turn to snow across western and central Minnesota Saturday along with strong northwest winds developing. Accumulating snow is expected across western Minnesota.
