What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this wind chill advisory went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Twin Cities, MN wrote its last area forecast discussion before this wind chill advisory went out at Mar 2, 11:07 PM CST, 4 hours 14 minutes earlier.

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Sunday night)
Issued at 311 PM CST Sat Mar 2 2019

Surface analysis this afternoon shows the center of an arctic high
pressure airmass in central Alberta province but spilling southeast
all the way into the central Plains and mid-Mississippi River Valley
regions. Aloft, an upper level low continues to slowly rotate
eastward over western Ontario province, keeping W to NW flow atop
the area. A weak shortwave axis swinging around the western
periphery of the upper low will bring some flurries across the area
but nothing that should accumulate more than possibly a dusting.
These flurries will exit by late evening, allowing strong cold air
advection to commence across the area as the high pressure center
slides south over the Northern Rockies tomorrow and expands over the
Plains through Sunday night. Another upper level wave is progged to
swing through Sunday evening but will have less moisture to work
with so aside from keeping clouds in the forecast, no precipitation
is expected.

The main story for the short-term is the cold air and wind chills. A
modestly tightened pressure gradient on the leading edge of the
incoming high will keep wind speeds in the 10-15mph range. With
tonight expected to be the coldest night, forecast lows will drop to
-10F to -20F. Factoring in the winds, wind chills early Sunday
 morning will hit -30F to -40F across the area. As such, will
 maintain the Wind Chill Warning in west-central MN and the Wind
 Chill Advisory to the east of the warning. Temperatures and wind
 chills will improve on Sunday, such that wind chills will
 increase to above -25F for several hours. Another Wind Chill
 Advisory may be necessary for Sunday night through Monday morning
 as wind chills may hit the -25F to -30F range.

.LONG TERM...(Monday through Saturday)
Issued at 311 PM CST Sat Mar 2 2019

Our next shot at light snow comes Monday evening/Monday night, as
lobe of vorticity from an upper level low centered over southern
Hudson Bay pivots across the area. Moisture looks to remain scant
with the Arctic airmass persisting over the area so any
accumulation looks to remain light, generally around half an inch
or less. Temperatures then begin to moderate midweek (but still
remain well-below normal) as upper-level ridging builds into the
central US. Tuesday and Wednesday will be dry but another chance
for snow looks to come Thursday, as a compact shortwave approaches
from the central Plains. The GFS continues to be the northern
outlier with this system and bring accumulating snow to the whole
area, while the ECMWF/CMC limit the snow to far
southwestern/southern Minnesota or totally south of Minnesota
entirely. With most of the GEFS members keeping MSP dry, tend to
side with these southern solutions. Have kept low (20-30%) PoPs
into central Minnesota for now but expect the best chances for
accumulating snow across our area to remain across southwest and
southern Minnesota.

Guidance continues to show a system impacting the Midwest over the
weekend as the central US ridge departs, but vary greatly in the
track and intensity of the low. While it looks possible that
somewhere in the north central US will see another bout of heavy
snow, it is far too early for specifics at this time. The CPC
outlooks continue to show high chances for below normal temperatures
through at least the middle of the month, so snow or no snow, winter
will remain with us for the foreseeable future.
