Wet weather and strong winds return to the Pacific Northwest and north-central California. Read More >

A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect from late Friday night through Saturday afternoon, with snow accumulations of 2-4 inches with localized amounts up to 5 inches possible. Winds have the potential to gust up to 25 mph Saturday, though there will not be widespread blowing snow impacts. Roads will become slick, especially on bridges and overpasses, so make sure to slow down and use caution when traveling.
A line of snow will be moving in Friday evening over central SD then spread east over northeast SD and west central MN through the day Saturday. Generally 2-4 inches is expected, but some localized amounts closer to 5 inches is also possible. There still continues to be a bit of uncertainty in the location of the heaviest area of snowfall.
Snow will be moving into north central SD this evening and then spreading east through the night. Then the snow band will then move out by Saturday afternoon. The snow will miss a majority of south central SD.
