A series of Pacific storm systems will continue to impact the Northwest U.S. into this coming weekend with periods of gusty winds, high surf, low elevation rain, and heavy mountain snow. Severe thunderstorms will be possible on Thursday across central/east Texas into western Louisiana and possibly the ArkLaTex and southeast Oklahoma. Read More >
Overview
On Saturday, October 13th a winter storm system moved quickly through the northern plains. This storm initially started out as rain, before changing over to heavy, wet snow during the afternoon. The snow continued through the evening, before ending overnight. The heaviest snow fell over the central and southern Black Hills, where over 10 inches of snow was reported. Elsewhere, two to five inches of snow was common across northeastern Wyoming, southwestern South Dakota, and the foothills of the Black Hills. Brisk northwest winds created some areas of blowing snow, but generally winds were not very strong with this storm system.
