National Weather Service Meteorologist Jake Beitlich says the cold air arrives Thursday night:

"We are going to dabble into winter for a little bit across the northwest part of the state. Up by Thief River Falls, they could see a few inches of accumulation on the grass."

Beitlich says a weaker system is expected to bring light snow to many areas of the state on Saturday, but it won't be enough to stick around.
