A Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect until 9 PM CST
Friday.

Snow is expected to develop in west central Minnesota this evening...
and spread eastward across central Minnesota overnight. Snowfall
amounts of 2 to 5 inches will be common across the advisory area
by Friday evening... which includes locations along and south of an
Alexandria to Little Falls line. The greatest risk of around 5
inches of snow will be toward Olivia and St Peter.

Snow will persist through the day on Friday... and gradually taper
off on Friday evening. Northwest winds will become gusty in the
wake of the snowfall on Friday night... which could result in
areas of blowing and drifting snow.

A Winter Weather Advisory for snow means that periods of snow
will cause primarily travel difficulties. Be prepared for snow
covered roads and limited visibilities... and use caution while
driving.
