We can recite the announcement by heart.
Hazardous driving conditions are expected for southern Minnesota and into the Twin Cities with a blast of winter weather hitting the region into Sunday.
The National Weather Service in Chanhassen is ready to issue a blizzard warning Saturday night into Sunday because of blowing snow, and there might be at least another four inches of snow in the Twin Cities Metro before it's over.
The worst of the bad weather is expected along the southern border of Minnesota and as far north as Marshall, Willmar, and Mankato.
"As the snow begins to diminish, the winds will begin to pick up," said National Weather Service meteorologist Taylor Hasenstein. "More significant travel hazards are expected."
