Statement as of 7:08 PM CST on January 08, 2009 ... Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect until 9 PM CST Friday... A Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect until 9 PM CST Friday. Snow is expected to develop this evening... and spread eastward overnight. Snowfall amounts of 3 to 6 inches will be common across the advisory area by Friday evening... including the Redwood Falls... Mankato... and Fairmont areas.

Be prepared for slippery roads and limited visibilities... and use caution while driving.
