More Snow On The Way? A Weekend Warm-Up?

It's been very winter-like outside over the past few days. In Sioux Falls we picked up 1.3 to 2.1 inches of snow during our latest snowstorm.





With another storm on the way, you are probably wondering, "Are we going to get more snow?" The answer to that is most likely, yes.

Looking at the video clip above of our Futurecast computer model about sums up what we're looking at. At the surface we will likely be at or near the freezing mark. Just a little bit above the surface we see temperatures dip below freezing. That shows us that we are looking for some possible melting of the snow, to fall in the form of rain - but most likely it will be snow. With how close the temperature difference is, you will likely want to stay tuned to KDLT News over the next 24 hours to see just what exactly is going to happen.

As for the future - we are seeing some nice warming potential come about the weekend:

Look at that image above. It is a computer model forecast for Sunday's highs. Look at those 60s on the map in yellow! Look at how close those 70s in the light orange-yellow color get to the rest of us! Could be a warm-up in our future...

Have a good night!
