Overview
A low pressure system is over the upper- Mississippi River valley and continuing to move North & NE. A broad ridge of high pressure is stretched across the Southern Plains and is building in the wake of a front as it passes through the MS river valley.
Discussion
As a strong low moves North & NE through the upper- Midwest and into the Great Lakes Region. The western edge of snow (associated with this low) will move across the Dakotas from the South to the North. Snow chances will begin to rise tonight, before sunrise. There will be a chance for scattered snow through our state until Wednesday morning as a low moves North, well to our East. This snow event will produce light, scattered snow showers. Event totals will be low and much of our area will see little to no additional accumulation. Parts of western, ND that do see some accumulation will receive less than 2" of new snow. Like this past Saturday, hit & miss snow showers will remain scattered with mostly cloudy to overcast skies through the day and Tuesday night. For the most part this light snow will yield a trace to 1" for much of the affected area. Model guidance continues to bounce back and forth with where the axis of accumulating snow will be. As of right now, this will not be a very significant event. In the wake of this next snow, cloudy skies will persist through Tuesday & Wednesday before another weak front clears the air.
Through the rest of tonight & Tuesday
Expect continued increasing clouds with a chance for isolated snow through most of tonight. Temperatures will fall through the single digits and just below zero for parts of the area. A light to moderate wind will begin to calm, resulting in wind chills below zero (dipping into the negative teens for some) before winds become light & variable. Tuesday (before sunrise) the chance for scattered snow will begin to rise (from the south to the north of our state). Under heavy cloud cover, temperatures will not warm very much at all. Daytime highs will top our in the upper teens & lower 20s. Scattered, hit & miss snow showers will move through the area during the day and into Tuesday night resulting in less than 2" of new snow across the area.

Scattered, light snow showers/flurries will bring little to no accumulation to much of the state. Cold temperatures and cloudy skies will remain in place through the mid-week. By New Years Eve (Thursday & Thursday Night) a weak front will move through our area, yielding little to no chance for snow. In the wake of Thursday's front, expect clearing skies followed by a ridge of high pressure moving over the Dakotas. This ridging, coupled with plenty of sunshine will lead to a warming trend. By the end of the week (and through the weekend) temperatures will climb through the seasonable average (BIS avg. 3/23) with a sun/cloud mix.
TUESDAY...Cloudy skies followed by rising snow chances, leading to hit & miss snow showers. Highs 16-22. East/North wind 2-12mph. Chills in the single digits. 40% chance for scattered snow.
TUESDAY NIGHT...Cloudy skies with continuing scattered snow before Midnight. Lows 5-12. Light NE/NW wind becoming calm. Chills on either side of zero. 30% chance for snow.
WEDNESDAY... Mostly cloudy skies with tapering snow chances followed by some clearing. Highs in the teens. NW wind 5-15mph. Chills in the single digits.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT...Gradually clearing skies and cooling temps. Lows 0-7. Light to moderate wind out of the NW. Chills below zero and in the negative teens.
