Is Snow Still Coming? An Update On Last Night's Post

Cody and I have alluded to the chance for snow toward Wednesday in our past posts. Is it still coming? See the post Tranquil Week... Tranquil Snow? for a comparison, but know this: this is why we try to wait until we are *absolutely* sure about a storm before we start talking about snowfall totals. We'll start to mention that one looks big, or looks like it might just be flurries or a dusting - but aside from that the closest we can get to the actual storm arrival, the better, at least as far as accuracy is concerned.

With that being said, it looks like snow has shifted toward the West a bit - with most happening around NW South Dakota, rather than in the Missouri River Valley. Here's one computer model's thoughts on snowfall accumulation through early Thursday morning:

You can see over South Dakota that the larger area of potential snowfall accumulations have moved farther toward the West. We'll be seeing just how much things shift in reality as we head into tomorrow. Keep yesterday's post in mind should more snow sneak its way in - but for now it looks like this storm is building farther toward the West than the models originally indicated. Just another part of the fun of winter forecasting. It definitely keeps us on our toes from about September until severe weather season starts!

Have a good night!
