The wind will also lead to blowing snow, reducing visibility, especially in southwestern Minnesota.
Sunday will be the nicer day of the weekend, with more sun, calmer winds and slightly higher temperatures. The metro should top out in the mid-30s.
The forecast will stay quiet as the work week begins and we'll warm even more, into the 40s.
