Snow accumulations will be very minor…some spots over the Dakotas will get a coating to a half-inch, perhaps a very localized 1″ through tomorrow evening.

Sunday will bring lots of sunshine, and much of next week features dry weather. Here is a loop of temperatures from today through Sunday. Should see a bit of a warming trend through the weekend, but our snowpack keeps us colder than normal. We should see a more notable warm-up as we get deeper into next week.
Precipitation will be light over the next few days, with much of next week being completely dry. Precipitation over the next week off the European model:
