Storm Update: When Will It End? Timelapse Of Snow In Sioux Falls

We've seen some impressive snow totals of close to 20-40 inches in the western portion of South Dakota. In our viewing area we saw blizzard reports from all of our westernmost counties in the viewing area - including in the city of Pierre. Everyone was reporting 1/4 mile visibility or less as of late morning/early afternoon.

The good news is that things are starting to come to an end.

This was a radar image from about 6:15pm from the Aberdeen radar. You can see the snow has really become more of a banded situation and is not quite as widespread as we saw when the storm was out west.

That whole mess is moving toward the East and Northeast. We're going to be watching it - but for now if you live where it is not snowing a couple of quick and moderate snow showers are not out of the question between now and the early portion of the overnight hours of Wednesday. This is what we're still looking for - but keep in mind that this map started out at about 1pm, so subtract any snow you've already seen:

You can see 1-2 inches seems to be the trend as far as additional NE snowfall is concerned. In Sioux Falls we can likely expect a couple more snow showers - but generally just a dusting is what we're looking for overnight.

Have a great night and we'll update you as we get new information! If you have any good storm pictures (snow or severe) send them to weather@kdlt.com and we'll put them on-air and on the weather blog.

We'll leave you with this timelapse video of the snow coming through Sioux Falls Tuesday afternoon.
