(KIMT) -- A potent cold front is slated to pass through SE Minnesota and North Iowa Friday morning, bringing back those whipping northwest winds and prompting the National Weather Service to issue cold weather alerts ahead of it all. Winds are set to gust up to 30 MPH at times Friday afternoon, which will tumble our temperatures to the single digits by sundown.

Wind chills will plummet to dangerous levels behind this front as the new arctic air mass envelops the Upper Midwest. Saturday morning wind chills will drop to the -20s, meanwhile Sunday morning will be even lower. Wind chills are anticipated to fall to the -30s.

A Cold Weather Advisory has been issued for most of our southern Minnesota counties ahead of this weekend' brutal cold. Make sure you are ready for this weekend's weather
