Winter Storm Watches In The WLFI Viewing Area. Blizzard Warnings To Our West!

I have been right here in the weather mode all morning going through the latest weather data! Right now I still want to call for my 2" to 5" inches. With another 1" to 2" inches possible on Friday due to what will be on the back side of this system. This would make our snowfall total between Thursday and Friday between 3" and 6" inches possible. So 2" to 5" inches possible starting late late tonight after 1:00am or 2:00am EST and then the other possible inch or so on Friday. You can see this snow system really starting to develop to our west in this radar image below.

There is some blizzard Warnings in the SD, areas, Now I don't see us getting a blizzard but still I had to let you know! ;) Still we will have to worry about some blowing and drifting snow! We are still under that winter storm watch from tonight until Friday morning. Yes, the WHOLE WLFI viewing area is under this watch! So please stay tuned to JIWB for more updates as this system continues to develop and moves closer to our great state.

So once again I want to break down what I'm calling for at this time. I look for snow showers to start after 1:00am or 2:00am EST tonight. Snow showers will go through out Thursday into Friday. Expected snowfall for Thursday looks between 2" and 5" inches possible. Then another inch or two can be expected on Friday. So the grand total between both Thursday and Friday is looking between 3" and 6" inches with a ((few local areas)) picking up a little closer to seven inches (possible). And remember that the 2" to 5" inch range is just a range. This does not mean we will see 5" inches. This just means any where between 2" and 5" inches. As well as the grand total of 3" to 6" inches with locally higher amounts near seven inches possible. I know many of you already know this however there are some that will bust my butt lol :) ;) Ha Ha.....

Stay tuned I'll check back again later on with another last look at this system before it comes across the state line!

Storm Threats Will Be:

Heavy snow during morning rush hour: As well as the daytime hours in the afternoon. Please drive careful while out!

Slick roads: Due to the cold temperatures we have been seeing snow will stick to the roads with out a problem.

Blowing and Drifting: Blowing and drifting snow will be a problem as this snow will fall as a light fluffy snow. Even 10 to 15 mph winds will blow this snow all over!

REMEMBER YOUR WINTER DRIVING SAFETY TIPS AND STAY SAFE!!!
