The snow will primarily fall during the morning hours.

The winds are expected to pick up significantly in the afternoon, especially in the western parts of the state, with gusts reaching up to 50 mph. This could lead to blowing snow and reduced visibility on the roads.

Drivers should be cautious on the roads as the combination of light snow and strong winds could make travel difficult.

In the Twin Cities, strong wind gusts will begin late in the afternoon and continue into the evening, making roadways slick.
