The wind will continue to howl across parts of Minnesota and Wisconsin creating extremely tough travel in open areas. The ground blizzard will likely continue Friday night into early Saturday morning for some.
The strong winds along with the combination of bitter cold air will keep our wind chills in the -20s to -30s across nearly the entire region.
By Saturday afternoon our winds will have finally started to back off for the Dakotas and parts of western Minnesota. I'm still seeing a windy day, but it won't be like Friday.
Wind chills will still be frigid for the eastern Dakotas and Minnesota on Saturday.
Saturday's high temperatures will stay subzero for a large chunk of the region with some finally climbing above zero.

I'm tracking another system to slide into the Dakotas on Sunday and potentially western Minnesota in the afternoon and evening. This next will be moving quickly and looks to be out of the area by Sunday night.
Sunday will be the first day for many to finally get above zero. Highs will still be cold, but not as frigid by the afternoon as winds will be much lighter.
For many, the work holiday will land on Monday. I'm seeing a quiet and chilly day for the region. Our weather will likely stay dry as the snow from Christmas Day will have slid to our south and east.
