Prepare For A Snowy Saturday And Chilly Temperatures Ahead

UNDATED (WJON News) -- As you dig out from our first bout with winter weather this season, it looks like round two won't be far behind.

The National Weather Service in the Twin Cities says snow will move in Friday evening and overnight, lasting into Sunday morning.

While there is uncertainty about the exact location and amounts of snowfall, confidence is growing that at least moderate snowfall (greater than 3 inches) will occur across a large portion of the region Friday through Saturday.

Confidence is high (>80%) that the region will see 3-6+" of snow over 36 hours, with moderate confidence (40-60%) of 9+" of snow.

After Tuesday's snow, St. Cloud has had 4.8 inches of snow so far this season, which is still below normal.
