...STORM SYSTEM TO BRING ARCTIC AIR AND SNOW EARLY THIS WEEK...

A STORM SYSTEM WILL MOVE ACROSS THE NORTHERN ROCKIES AND NORTHERN
PLAINS DURING THE FIRST HALF OF THE WORK WEEK...BRINGING MUCH
COLDER AIR AND SOME SNOWFALL TO THE AREA. AN ARCTIC COLD FRONT
WILL SLIDE SOUTH ACROSS THE AREA MONDAY NIGHT...WITH BITTERLY COLD
AIR SETTLING IN AND REMAINING IN PLACE THROUGH THE REST OF THE
WEEK. GUSTY NORTHERLY WINDS WILL DEVELOP BEHIND THE FRONT AND
PERSIST INTO MIDWEEK ACROSS MUCH OF THE PLAINS. LIGHT SNOW WILL
DEVELOP ACROSS THE REGION MONDAY NIGHT BEHIND THE FRONT AND
PERSIST AT TIMES THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT AS THE SYSTEM CROSSES THE
REGION.

AT THIS TIME...SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS OF UP TO A FEW INCHES ARE
POSSIBLE...WITH THE BEST POTENTIAL FROM FAR NORTHEASTERN
WYOMING...THROUGH THE NORTHERN BLACK HILLS AREA...AND ACROSS
NORTHWESTERN SOUTH DAKOTA. THE SNOW AND GUSTY WINDS WOULD PRODUCE
AREAS OF BLOWING SNOW AS WELL. THERE IS STILL A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY
AT THIS TIME WITH REGARD TO THE TRACK OF THIS SYSTEM AND WHERE THE
MOST SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL WILL OCCUR. PERSONS PLANNING TRAVEL
ACROSS THE REGION SHOULD MONITOR NOAA WEATHER RADIO...LOCAL RADIO
OR TELEVISION...OR THE INTERNET...FOR THE LATEST INFORMATION AND
FORECASTS.
