Warnings and Notices

	Winter Weather Advisory
Statement as of 9:55 PM CST on January 08, 2009 ... Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect until 6 am CST Saturday... A Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect until 6 am CST Saturday. Snow will spread east into southeast Minnesota and northeast Iowa between 10 PM tonight and 1 am Friday morning... and into western Wisconsin between 1 am and 5 am Friday morning. By sunrise Friday... snow totals will likely be in the 1 to 3 inch range west of the Mississippi River and up to an inch across western Wisconsin. Total snowfall accumulations of 3 to 6 inches are expected across the region by sunrise Saturday. The winds will gradually increase on Friday and this may cause some drifting and blowing snow across open areas and higher terrain. A Winter Weather Advisory for snow means that periods of snow will cause primarily travel difficulties. Be prepared for snow covered roads and limited visibilities... and use caution while driving.
