A significant cold front is currently moving across eastern Minnesota and into Wisconsin, resulting in a variety of weather conditions. The front is expected to generate scattered showers and thunderstorms throughout the region. In northern Minnesota, a wintry mix is anticipated, potentially causing a light layer of ice and snow, particularly in the northwestern parts of the state, by Friday morning. Winds are projected to shift from a southerly direction to a northwesterly one, with speeds ranging between 15 and 30 mph. These gusty conditions could affect travel and outdoor activities.
