A winter storm is expected to drop as many as 4 inches of snow or more in the Twin Cities, and even more in parts to the south of the metro area, which could see closer to a foot.

WCCO meteorologist Mike Augusytniak says that snow is expected to arrive in Minneapolis-St. Paul around noon or a little thereafter. The snow is then expected to be a factor in the area until into Saturday morning.

In Southern Minnesota, we could see snowfall rates of 1 to 2 inches an hour in some spots where the heaviest band lines up. It’s possible more than a foot falls in the southern part of the state.
