Snow Tonight? Warm-Up This Week?

We have a couple of different weather things going on the next week - the first is finishing up today until tomorrow. The first being the snow. Most of it has fallen toward the South and the West. Here's a webcam view from Casper, WY (where I used to work as a meteorologist before arriving in Sioux Falls):

They're seeing heavy snow out to the West - but it's a little different here. I just got done showing our KDLT Skycam on our 5pm Sunday newscast, and we're seeing little breaks in the thin clouds, as the snow is nowhere near us for now. It is snowing in the Sioux City area, though, we also grabbed a webcam shot of there 1-2 inches they've picked up so far:

Now... we mentioned a warm-up earlier, so if you're still with us you are probably wondering about that. Look at this model-forecasted temperature map for next Saturday:

While it will not be warm as compared to your traditional vacation destinations, we'll be seeing a "heat wave" of our own with some 30s to 40s on the map. We'll hope it actually pans out - and have a great Sunday night!
