SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO.com) — As another round of precipitation moves across the northern plains, regional travel impacts are already being felt.
While rain, and eventually snow, is occurring throughout the KELO listening area, conditions to our west are quickly deteriorating.
SD511.org shows that Interstate 90 between Chamberlain and Mitchell is slippery with scattered spots of ice and snow.
With a myriad of precipitation types falling across the region, lets take a look at some of the webcams to see what is happening.

As rain switches over to snow this afternoon, the National Weather Service says that a glaze of ice could impact southwest Minnesota and southeast South Dakota.
While snowfall totals should remain light, the combination of snow and ice will create slippery walkways and roadways during the evening commute.
Below is a graphic detailing the timing of when rain is likely to transition to sleet and snow.
Here’s a look at the latest precipitation type and timing across the area today, tonight, and early Tuesday morning.
