Discussion
As our latest snow-maker moves out of the Northern Plains, we will begin to see tapering snow chances(tonight) followed by gradual clearing skies through the later half of our work week. Most of our viewing area saw below 2" of new snow. This was definitely a low impact system. Nevertheless, some road conditions will be hazardous this evening through tonight. Western, ND is mostly green and good to go. Central ND does still have some slush/ice on the roadways and the Eastern third of the state is hazardous in some areas. Most of the hazardous road conditions include Central & Eastern, ND.

Due to moisture wrapping around this low (as it moves out of the Northern Plains) cloudy skies will persist for most of the area (through Wednesday) with a chance for a few light snow showers/flurries. Those who receive any scattered snow can expect between 0.5"-1" of new snow through the next 24 hours. Some parts Western, ND could see even more. Our next chance for significant snow will be late this week, going into the weekend. So, Christmas eve we will see some hit & miss clouds with cold temps. Christmas day, increasing clouds and a chance for scattered PM snow. There is a chance that Fri/Sat's front will affect those who are traveling after Christmas. Otherwise, at this point, this post-Christmas event looks to be a light to moderate snow yielding some accumulations. As the event gets closer, I will be able to nail down some numbers.
Through the rest of tonight & Wednesday
Overnight, expect continued cloudy skies with some clearing and a chance for scattered flurries to linger in the wake of this passing low pressure system. Temps will fall into the teens with a light to moderate wind swinging around to the NW. Chills will be in the single digits with possibly hazardous road conditions for some. Use caution while driving if needed. Clouds will stick around with some clearing possible for most of the day (Wednesday) with a few flurries still possible. Snow chances will taper out of the forecast by tomorrow evening followed by cooling temps.

7day planner
In the wake of a passing low, clouds will stick around through the mid-week with a few flurries possible. Expect clearing through Thursday, followed by increasing clouds starting Thursday evening and early Friday. Our next system will move West to East, just south of our area. This means that there will be a chance for snow Friday night and Saturday (if the track of this next system moves North, snow chances and accumulations will increase). In the wake of this 2nd system, temps will fall into even more and into the negative single digits by Sunday morning. A third chance for snow is on the 7day planner after the weekend wraps up.
