This particular storm will have the greatest impacts near the Missouri River with snowfall totals ranging anywhere from 7-12 inches.
Depending on the path of the storm, Sioux Falls could see up to 7 inches.
Several hazards are expected with the arrival of this system.
Heavy snowfall rates of 1-3 inches per hour may occur, which can rapidly change visibilities and road conditions.
Wind gusts of up to 30 mph are also expected with this storm, which may produce blowing snow across roadways.
If you plan on traveling over the next couple of days, make sure to monitor your local forecast, take a look at road conditions at SD511.org, and check back in with KELO radio for more updates throughout the day.
