...A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS WINTER WEATHER WEEK...

A STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO MOVE FROM BRITISH
COLUMBIA TO THE CENTRAL ROCKIES TO THE NORTHERN PLAINS SUNDAY
THROUGH THURSDAY. THE EXACT TRACK OF THIS SYSTEM IS STILL
UNCERTAIN...BUT THE POSSIBILITY EXISTS FOR THREE ROUNDS OF
SNOWFALL ACROSS EASTERN NORTH DAKOTA AND WESTERN MINNESOTA AS
IT TRAVERSES THE WESTERN HALF OF THE UNITED STATES.

THE FIRST ROUND SHOULD IMPACT MOST OF THE REGION SUNDAY EVENING
THROUGH MONDAY MORNING WITH AN INCH OR LESS ACCUMULATION.
IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING...THE SECOND ROUND SHOULD MOVE THROUGH
MONDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH EARLY TUESDAY MORNING WITH ANOTHER FEW
INCHES ACCUMULATION POSSIBLE. AFTER PERHAPS A SIX HOUR BREAK...
THE THIRD AND FINAL ROUND COULD COMMENCE TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND
CONTINUE THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT WHEN PERIODS OF MODERATE TO HEAVY
SNOWFALL ARE POSSIBLE. THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR BREEZY NORTHWEST
WIND WITH THIS LAST BOUT OF SNOW...POSSIBLY REDUCING VISIBILITY IN
BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW AND RESULTING IN HAZARDOUS TRAVEL
CONDITIONS. OVER THE 36 HOUR PERIOD...SIGNIFICANT SNOW ACCUMULATIONS
ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE ENTIRE REGION.

AN ARCTIC AIRMASS IS EXPECTED TO SETTLE ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS
BEHIND THE DEPARTING SYSTEM FRIDAY INTO NEXT WEEKEND...BRINGING
POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS TEMPERATURES AND WIND CHILLS.
