Snow accumulation is beginning to pick up, particularly across southeastern ND into west central MN. Snow will continue to increase in coverage and intensity through the overnight hours. Snowfall totals will vary widely based on temperatures.
The Winter Storm Warning continues for southeast North Dakota and northwest Minnesota. While snowfall accumulations have been light, the heaviest snowfall will fall this evening and overnight. Travel will likely become difficult in some areas.
Rain and snow will continue through the remainder of the afternoon but will eventually change over to mostly snow. The heaviest snowfall is expected overnight tonight. Expect accumulations on the ground to fall towards the lower numbers as some of what does fall will melt/compact.
