Upcoming Weekend System

Precipitation Type Timing and Changeover

Snow Totals

Ice Accumulation

A system passing over the region this weekend will bring rain to start early Saturday morning, transitioning to a wintry mix and/or freezing rain through the day, and becoming all snow by Saturday night. Snow accumulations are forecasted to range from a trace to 3 inches, with 3 to 5 inches possible over and along the eastern slopes of the Sisseton Hills.

There is potential for areas of freezing rain, sleet, and/or wintry mix during the transitional phase Saturday afternoon and evening. Greatest chances (80-100%) for wintry mix/freezing rain exists from US Highway 12 down to and including Interstate 90.

Generally a trace to 3 inches of snow expected over the area with 3 to 5 inches possible along and east of the Sisseton Hills. However, if the changeover to snow occurs slower or a more southeastern shift of the low, we will see less snow totals and vice versa.

If the transition from rain to snow occurs more quickly, little to no freezing rain will fall over the region. If the transition from rain to snow occurs more slowly, the higher end amounts are more likely to occur.
