(KNSI) – Old man winter is sending a blast of cold and snow through central Minnesota on Friday evening.
The National Weather Services issued a Winter Weather Advisory until midnight for Kandiyohi, Stearns and Todd Counties.
Meteorologists expect around an inch of snow and up to 45 mile-per-hour wind gusts. That could lead to reduced visibility and slippery driving conditions. Sharply falling temperatures could cause flash-freezing. The temperatures will drop to around 2 degrees with wind chills of 15-below zero.
Officials say anyone exposed to the elements could suffer from hypothermia.
