Snow In The Extended Forecast?

It seems like things are going to be nice and warm for Halloween, so we've switched gears. This big storm coming toward the middle of next week is definitely getting our attention. Thankfully it looks like just a few showers toward Tuesday, otherwise known as election day, but then the real rain comes and even the potential snow. You can see something interesting in this picture below:

If you see what looks like a bunch of lines forming a semi-circle around the Sioux Empire area, you can see some purple over the area as well. The scary part? Those lines represent different layers of the atmosphere that are at or below the freezing mark. The scarier part? Those big purple blobs represent potential model-indicated future precipitation. That means if things pan out the way they might we could end up with some accumulating snow by next Thursday. We'll have to look back on this blog post in a few days to see how things are still looking. Stay tuned!
