Light Snow

A little bit of light snow passing through the state this morning. Visibilities generally above a mile so not real worried about a whole lot of travel difficulties. Some areas toward Central South Dakota could pick up a half inch or so. But areas toward the east are just looking for a dusting at best. The snow is associated with a warm front as Jesse mentioned and that front is pushing through central South Dakota right now. I drew a line where the front is currently located.You can see by the red numbers on this surface plot that temperatures out ahead of the front are in the single digits and temperatures behind the front are in the twenties and thirties. Expect your temperature to spike a good 10-15 degrees in an hour or two when the warm front finally passes by. Also, the accumulating snow should be done by noon with just a few flurries across the east in the afternoon.
