...WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR STRONG WINDS AND BLOWING SNOW... .Yet another round of light and fluffy snow will move across the area today, with the combination of a couple inches of fresh fluff alongside increasingly gusty winds resulting in reduced visibility and slow travel today. Much like Friday, new snow accumulation is only expected to amount to an inch or two, however the winds blowing the snow around will be the primary concern with slow travel expected. The slower travel is expected to persist from the time snow arrives to a few hours after it ends later tonight as blustery winds continue beyond the end of the snowfall. * WHAT...Snow and blowing snow expected. Visibility due to blowing snow under a half mile. Total snow accumulations up to two inches. Winds gusting as high as 45 mph. * WHERE...Portions of central, south central, southwest, and west central Minnesota. * WHEN...Until 9 PM CST this evening. * IMPACTS...Plan on slippery road conditions. Areas of blowing snow could significantly reduce visibility. Gusty winds could bring down tree branches.
