The low pressure system is expected to move northeast across the
upper Midwest into the upper Great Lakes today while gradually
weakening. Areas of snow and strong winds will gradually diminish
today over much of the northern Plains and the upper Midwest.
Locally two feet of snow has already fallen across northern
Nebraska, South Dakota, and central Minnesota. Conditions remain
hazardous for travel across these areas today. An additional 2 to
4 inches of accumulation is possible over northern Minnesota today
before the storm moves away into southeastern Canada on Saturday.
The next storm summary will be issued by the Weather Prediction
Center at 1000 AM CDT. Please refer to your local National Weather
Service office for additional information on this event.
