The National Weather Service is still projecting a strong snow storm in the southeast portion of South Dakota tonight and to continue into tomorrow morning. Meteorologist Kyle Weisser with the National Weather Service says the system has shifted its course a bit but large amounts of snowfall are still expected.
"There will be an access of somewhat heavier snow that should stretch from around Vermillion to Canton to Luverne, just a bit southeast of Sioux Falls. But the Sioux Falls area is still looking at about five to seven inches of snow," Weisser says.
Weisser says the area in and around Sioux Falls could experience a slight mix of snow, rain and ice to start. He says eventually the storm will turn to just snow. Weisser says the system should produce around five hours of consistent snowfall before moving east into Minnesota. Amounts of snow in the southeast portion of the state are expected to vary from four to eight inches.
