The Austin area has the potential to get its first touch of the white stuff this weekend. Luckily it won’t be what northern Minnesota could see.

Starting Friday, a chance of snow is possible throughout the weekend, interchanged with a chance of rain. The best chance for snow is Sunday with a 40 percent chance before noon. With temperatures expected to be in the low 40s, its doubtful the snow will stay long.

For tonight, the area has been placed in a freeze warning with temperatures expected to dip to 31 degrees.

The chance of snow coming this weekend is part of a larger system that could bring measurable snow to northern Minnesota over the weekend.
