MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- The National Weather Service has issued another widespread wind chill advisory for Minnesota.

WCCO Meteorologist Riley O'Connor says the advisory will be in effect through noon Thursday, and will be reissued in the overnight hours and go through noon Friday. It could feel like minus 30 to minus 40 degrees at times. Frostbite can attack exposed skin in less than 20 minutes in these conditions.

The Twin Cities will have a high of 2 degrees Thursday, with pretty much the entire state in the same frozen boat. It will be even colder in western and northwestern Minnesota.

O'Connor says a quick-moving system will drop light snow across the state beginning Friday afternoon through early Saturday morning. It will reach the metro by about dinnertime. Snow totals will only range between a dusting in southern Minnesota, and over 2 inches in the Arrowhead.

Temperatures will warm into the teens Friday through Monday, with more snow chances Sunday and Monday. We'll dive back into single-digit highs next Tuesday.
