Today’s video:

Updated winter advisories:

Simulated radar guidance through the remainder of the day today into early Tuesday…this light snow will continue to move north and east across northern South Dakota into the northern half of Minnesota the 2nd half of today; we also could see some spotty freezing rain/rain showers move through the southern half of Minnesota today, watch for slick spots on bridges and overpasses where surfaces can get colder if left untreated:

Snowfall totals guidance is below as we go throughout the day into early Tuesday:

Freezing drizzle accumulations possible late morning today into the afternoon especially across eastern South Dakota and the southern half of Minnesota of ~0.10″…watch for some slick spots on pavement that’s not treated; we do warm up into the 40s Tuesday for highs so the threat is short-lived after daybreak:

Total rain next 7 days from the European model shows the bulk of ~0.5-1.0″ of moisture will be focused across western/southern South Dakota into Minnesota; we see a void of precipitation noted in central South Dakota where little to no precipitation up to 0.10″ will be focused…outside of these areas a general 0.25-0.50″ of liquid is the forecast:
