Price To Pay For Warm Up

A nice warm up for many places today... even a 50 in Chadron, just a reminder, we are supposed to see temperatures around 25 degrees right now. Where the temps were hovering around freezing is where travel was not pretty. Several roll-overs and accidents were reported along I-29 with the worst being from Sioux Falls up to Brookings. The safetravelusa site had this image on their website:
As for this warm weather, we'll be seeing a bit more of it, so I expect road conditions to continue to be a bit slick tomorrow evening as the sun sets and temperatures cool once again.
This is a map basically showing how far away from average our temperatures are going to be when the map is valid. That big area of blues and purples is the cold spell we went through last week, you can see that it's pushed off towards the East now. The big area of reds and oranges mean warmer weather. So you can expect another day like today and then some even warmer temperatures by Monday and Tuesday.
