The bulk of the snow will be in northwest Minnesota, although a minor coating on grassy surfaces and a few slick spots on area roadways are possible elsewhere.

Snow flakes will be sporadic through the afternoon in the Twin Cities metro, but snow chances will stick around through the evening before drying out overnight.

Western Minnesota will have cooler temperatures in the upper 20s, while much of the state will see widespread lows in the 30s. Twin Cities metro daytime highs are 32 degrees, but with the breezy conditions and 10-20+ mph winds, temperatures will feel closer to the 20s.
