More snow is on the way. A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for parts of northwestern, central and southeastern South Dakota, southern Minnesota, northern Iowa, and northeastern Nebraska from this afternoon through tonight.

Snow will develop from northwest to southeast through the morning. Snow will start to fall in Sioux Falls and across the tri-state area by late morning or early afternoon. snow will fall steadily through the afternoon with 1 to 2 inches of accumulation possible by 6 PM.

Snow will continue tonight with an additional 2 to 3 inches of accumulation for an overall total of about 3 to 5 inches. Snow will end by sunrise tomorrow.

Tomorrow in the weekend will be dry but cold. High temps will only reach the single digits to low teens on Friday and Saturday. Sunday will be mostly sunny and a bit warmer as highs were back into the mid 20s.

You might want to get rollin’ a little early this morning because we’re going to have some snow for your drive to work and school.

A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for Sioux Falls and parts of southeastern South Dakota, southwestern Minnesota and northwestern Iowa from 6 AM until noon today. About 2 to 3 inches of snow is possible in the Sioux Falls area with heavier amounts possible south and east of Sioux Falls. Parts of northwestern Iowa could get 4 to 6 or more inches of snow. Snow will end by early afternoon in Sioux Falls, gradually ending from west to east across Iowa and Minnesota throughout the afternoon.

The wind will be fairly light today, so blowing snow will not be a big issue. The exception will be central South Dakota, where gusts to between 20 and 30 mph will create areas of blowing snow at times this afternoon.

The rest of the week will be cold with on and off snow. Light snow is possible again tomorrow with another system that will have the potential to bring more measurable snow on Thursday into Friday. Stay tuned for updates!  

Today will be partly to mostly cloudy, breezy and warmer. High temps will range from the upper 30s in Sioux Falls to the mid 40s along the James River to the mid 50s across central and western South Dakota. Wind will be a bit gusty from the south at about 20 to 30 mph.

Mild temperatures will stick around through tomorrow, then a cold front will bring highs back to the teens by Thursday. Temps will bump back to near 30 degrees on Friday, with light snow and colder temperatures in the forecast for the weekend.

A Winter Storm Watch is still in effect from tomorrow afternoon through Monday. 6 to 10 inches of snow is possible with strong wind creating blizzard conditions at times.

We continue to track what is looking more likely to be a fairly significant winter storm that will impact the region over the weekend. A Winter Storm Watch has now been issued by the National Weather Service and is in effect from Sunday afternoon through Monday morning.

In the meantime, we get to enjoy a couple more warm days. Today will be mostly cloudy but it will also be warmer. High temperatures will range from the upper 40s to low 50s this afternoon. Tomorrow will be a bit cooler but still mild with high temps in the low to mid 40s.

A significant winter storm system will impact our region late this weekend into early next week. As of now, it looks like the heaviest snow will fall across southeastern South Dakota, southwestern Minnesota and northwestern Iowa where 6 inches or more is possible. Snow will develop on Sunday with a brief period of rain – perhaps a little freeing rain or drizzle in some places – early in the afternoon as temperatures bump back up into the mid 30s for a short time. Snow will continue Sunday afternoon and Sunday night into Monday, becoming heavy at times. Strong northwest wind gusts will accompany the system and create areas of blowing snow late Sunday, Sunday night and well into the day Monday.

Keep in mind that the track and timing of this storm could change. Stay tuned… We will have updates as the system develops.
