Another frontal system will move in from the northwest tonight through Saturday as the active wintry weather pattern continues.

The majority of the snowfall will occur during the day on Saturday. Roadways from Highway 140 near Lake of the Woods northward will see the greatest accumulations, but other roadways south of there, including portions of I-5, could see some light snowfall, as well.
Be prepared for periods of reduced visibility and slippery and snow covered roads. Be prepared for wintry travel conditions and be sure to check road conditions before venturing out.
