It’s expected to be a snowy Saturday and Sunday in the metro.

Friday, Chief Meteorologist Ken Barlow said snow is likely to start falling midday Saturday and last overnight into early Sunday.

The snow consistency will be light and fluffy due to low temperatures, Barlow said, unlike the heavy and slushy snow the metro saw during its last storm.

Roughly 3-6 inches are expected to accumulate, Barlow said.

Temperatures are expected to be in the high teens Saturday and low 20s Sunday.
