MINNEAPOLIS — Expect a few slick roads Wednesday night in the Twin Cities due to light snow from a passing system — with a larger snow system hitting this weekend.

The metro will likely see between half an inch and 1.5 inches when all is said and done. Higher totals are expected up north, with a winter weather advisory in place through Thursday morning for northeastern Minnesota.

Thursday will be partly cloudy and windy with gusts possibly exceeding 30 mph, especially in southwestern Minnesota.

Friday is the calm before the storm, with winds slightly below average and not as windy.

Widespread accumulating snow is set to arrive Friday night into Saturday, prompting a possible NEXT Weather Alert. The metro could see 6-12 inches from that system. Winds won't be an issue, thankfully.

Sunday will be the nicer weekend day, but it does get cold with highs in the teens expected. It will remain cold all next week.
