This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for west central Minnesota,
central South Dakota, north central South Dakota and northeast
South Dakota.

A powerful winter storm is generating freezing drizzle for portions
of north central and northeast South Dakota this morning, and light
ice will only expand though the course of the morning. A shift to
snow is expected later this morning in western South Dakota with a
transition east. Expect a band of heavy snow that will pivot through

will become freezing rain with upwards of a quarter inch
accumulation though early afternoon before finally changing over to
snow. Winds will continue to be on the increase as well, with gusts
peaking between 45 and 55 mph this afternoon and evening. As we
transition to snow, we will also transition to blizzard conditions.
