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

Light snow will also be possible today. While snow accumulations are
expected to remain less than a half inch, the combination of falling
snow and the very strong winds may cause rapidly changing visibility,
perhaps lower than a mile at times. Use caution while traveling and
remember your winter driving skills.

Additional light snow is possible Thursday into Thursday night, but
amounts are likely to remain less than an inch.
