Balaton Weather Advisories
WEATHER ALERT
This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for northwest Iowa, west central Iowa, southwest Minnesota, northeast Nebraska, central South Dakota, east central South Dakota, south central South Dakota and southeast South Dakota.
DAY ONE
Tonight. Light to moderate snow showers are expected to move into the region from north central South Dakota and track southeast. This activity is expected to reach the Interstate 29 corridor between 7 and 9 pm. Accumulation is expected to be light, a half an inch to an inch with isolated small bands of higher amounts. Just after the snow a strong cold front will bring a brief 1 to 2 hour window of gusts up to 45 mph. This may result in reductions in visibility to less than a half mile at times. Quickly cooling temperatures behind the front will cause any snow that melted on roadways to quickly freeze, causing the additional hazard of scattered icy conditions. Drivers use caution.
DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN
Wednesday through Monday. Wind chills will be cold Wednesday morning in the minus single digits south of I-90, and the minus teens to the north. Additional snow chances return to the region Thursday afternoon with potential for light accumulations. The active pattern continues with another chance for light snow over the weekend.
SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT
Spotter activation is not expected at this time.
WEATHER ALERT
Travel Impacts Possible For This Evening`s Commute
Light snow showers currently along and east of I-29 will track southeastwards through late this afternoon. Brief reductions in visibility down to a mile or less and very light snow accumulations from a trace to a tenth or two is expected. After 4pm, a second round of scattered snow showers over central South Dakota, ahead of an arctic cold front, will track southeast into the Tri-State area. More intense snow showers may bring brief visibility restrictions under one half mile, along with snow accumulations averaging between a dusting to a half inch for many locations. A few areas with more persistent snow may see higher snowfall totals up to 1 to 2 inches. Strong northwest winds gusting up to 35 to 45 mph will coincide with the snow showers for a short period this evening. The combination of falling snow, strong wind gusts, and flash freezing on untreated surfaces due to rapidly falling temperatures will create hazardous travel conditions this evening. After this second round of more concentrated snow pushes southeast of the area, gusty northwest winds will blow any snow that has fallen across roadways, continuing reduced visibilities overnight down to 1 to 3 miles.
