Out towards the west very little rain as this Storm has been an eastern weather maker so far. Mobridge saw less than a tenth inch of rain and Chamberlain is the only town that saw over a quarter inch of rain out towards the west. Some totals were actually very impressive: Sioux Falls, Spencer, Watertown and Sisseton were all over three tenths a inch with some freezing rain; Which caused ice to build up on power lines and trees, but no major damage with this storm, a few power outages in some locals.
Snow will start to fall as the low moves off to the east and we see northwest winds pick up in the area. Light snow fall is expected with the extreme north seeing the most snowfall, four inches tops. Winds will be the main problem in all areas, sustain winds easily topping 40 mph and gusts over 55 possible.
The strongest winds will occur Monday morning but the winds will start Sunday morning and last till Tuesday morning. This model picks up on the strong winds but I do believe they will be stronger then what this shows. Blowing snow will cause low visibilities, and the high winds/ice on the roads can cause cars to slide off and create accidents. Use caution and be prepared!
Were not done yet with this storm, come Tuesday we can see sunny skies and calmer winds. But temperatures will not be very pleasant, highs in the teens for Tuesday and Wednesday.
