This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for southwest Minnesota, central
South Dakota and east central South Dakota.

.DAY ONE...Today and tonight.

Light snow continues through the early morning hours before lifting
north of the area by midday. Amounts will generally be less than
inch, though a few higher amounts can`t be ruled out over Highway 14
in central South Dakota.

Much heavier snow moves in this evening into tonight. Blizzard
conditions are expected with the potential for snowfall rates greater
than an inch an hour and winds gusting up to 55 mph. This will lead
to extremely dangerous to impossible travel conditions.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday.

Blizzard conditions are expected to continue through much of Sunday,
even as snow comes to an end. With amounts potentially pushing
upwards of 10 inches especially over southwest Minnesota, elevated
winds will likely lead to continued blowing/drifting in the areas
with the highest snowfall totals through the Monday morning commute.

Monday morning will also feature bitterly cold wind chills down into
the negative 20s to potentially near negative 30. Cold weather
continues into Tuesday morning when wind chills are set to drop into
the teens below zero.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation is not expected at this time.
