Snow then the Much Anticipated Warm Up!

A few flurries already are passing through tonight as the warm front pushes across the state... they won't accumulate to much besides over in the Black Hills area and Rapid City area.This warm front will bring a return of SW winds, increase the moisture in the air because we'll be bringing up the more humid air from the South and when that air collides with our colder dry air we're left with these flurries.This is a satellite picture showing where the snowline is... and it will be decreasing over Friday and Saturday. We'll see a very distinct line of warmer temperatures where there isn't as much snow. The area where there's more snow will still see warmer temperatures than we've been experiencing lately, so you can still expect temperatures to climb into the mid to upper 30s. Average temperatures this time of year are supposed to be near what they were today, in the mid to upper 20s, so a 10-15 degree increase will feel like a heatwave for most... be sure to take advantage of the warmer weather if you like it though, Super Bowl Sunday ushers in the colder weather once again. Enjoy the heat wave!
