A complex spring storm system is set to impact Minnesota this weekend, bringing a mix of rain, freezing rain, sleet, and snow. Up to 8 inches of snow and significant ice accumulations are expected from Saturday through Sunday, with a winter weather advisory in effect for much of central Minnesota. Residents can anticipate a rapidly changing weather pattern, with pleasant conditions giving way to a messy mix of winter precipitation. Areas such as the Twin Cities and northern Minnesota may see between 1 to 2 inches of snow, while the upper Midwest could experience heavy snow and whiteout conditions. With temperatures fluctuating, this storm will bring a taste of winter back to the region, creating challenging travel conditions and necessitating preparations for various weather scenarios over the weekend.
