This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for west central Minnesota, north
central South Dakota and northeast South Dakota.

.DAY ONE...Today and tonight.

A compact but strong area of low pressure will move over the region
later today through tonight, producing at least one potentially
heavy band of snow. The location of where this heavy snow band sets
up is still in question. There could be 6 to 9 inches, possibly more,
of snow accumulating under the area of heaviest banded snow. Breezy
to windy northeast winds are expected by late tonight, promoting some
areas of blowing snow, as well.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday.

This compact low pressure system should be exiting the forecast area
by late Wednesday morning, allowing for snowfall to taper off and
winds to begin subsiding by afternoon.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotters are encouraged to submit snowfall reports from this event.

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for central South Dakota, north
central South Dakota and northeast South Dakota.

.DAY ONE...Today and tonight.

A compact but strong area of low pressure will move over the region
later today through tonight, producing a mix of rain and snow across
central South Dakota, and a band of light to moderate snow across
portions of north central and northeast South Dakota. There could be
1 to 5 inches of snow accumulating under the initial area of
snowfall today. A break in snowfall from late this afternoon through
late this evening could result in a window of time when drizzle or
freezing drizzle could happen. Later tonight, there could be a second
period of snowfall. Breezy to windy northeast winds are expected by
late tonight. This could promote some areas of blowing snow, as well,
across northeast South Dakota into west central Minnesota.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday.

This compact low pressure system should be exiting the forecast area
by late Wednesday morning, allowing for snowfall to taper off and
winds to begin subsiding by afternoon.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation is not expected at this time.
