   An arctic front is forecast to move into the Northern Plains on   
   Friday before pushing further into the South on Saturday.   
      
   The system is forecast to bring dangerous wind chills in the   
   affected areas, according to National Weather Service   
   meteorologists, with high temperatures in some areas 10-to-20   
   degrees below average.   
      
   "This translates into high temperatures near zero Saturday from   
   northeastern Montana, across North Dakota, northeast South   
   Dakota and northwest Minnesota. These cold temperatures combined   
   with windy conditions will result in dangerous wind chills   
   readings this weekend across these areas," meteorologists said.   
      
   Here's the weather outlook for Friday:

   A storm expected to drop into the United States this week will

   The same system is also set to bring snow to parts of Idaho,   
   Colorado and Utah over the weekend.

   The storm is expected to cross over to Iowa, Illinois and   
   Wisconsin by Saturday, reaching Michigan and parts of Indiana by   
   early Sunday.   
      
   Winter storm warnings and winter weather advisories stretched   
   through Iowa on Friday afternoon.   
      
   Snow is expected to begin in Des Moines, Iowa, around 2 a.m. on   
   Saturday, bringing about an inch of snow to the city's metro   
   area, the Des Moines Register, part of the USA TODAY Network,   
   reported.   
      
   Further north, Ames, Iowa was expecting up to 5 inches of snow,   
   and parts of northwest Iowa were expecting up to 9 inches.   
      
   Blizzard warning bears down in parts of North Dakota, Minnesota   
   A blizzard warning was in effect until noon on Friday, the   
   National Weather Service in North Dakota said.   
      
   Total snow accumulations were expected to be up to 2 inches, but   
   winds were expected to gust up to 60 mph hour in parts of the   
   northern and central Red River Valley in Minnesota and North   
   Dakota.   
      
   What is a blizzard? A blizzard is defined by "sustained winds or   
   frequent gusts of 35 mph or more with snow and blowing snow   
   frequently reducing visibility to less than a quarter mile,"   
   according to the National Weather Service. Those conditions   
   usually last for several hours.   
      
   Travel should be “restricted to emergencies only,” officials   
   warned, with blowing snow creating hazardous conditions.
