Overview
There is a strong low pressure system over the SE U.S. that brought severe weather to affected areas, earlier today. A ridge of high pressure is building in the wake of this system. Another weaker low is over the Central Plains. A pair of quick moving & weaker lows is also over the Northern Plains and continuing to develop.
Discussion
A developing low pressure system over the Dakotas will continue to move SE and out of our area. This system brought a lot of cloud cover and scattered rain/snow to much of the state, today. Through tonight any rain/mix will transition to snow and continue to move SE through Central & Eastern ND. Most of what is showing up on radar does not look impressive. So, any accumulations will be very light through most of our area. Tonight, winds will become moderate to strong (out of the NW) and gusty. This windy timeframe will be between two lows that are forecast to bring light snow to most of the area. Overnight, there is a chance for a few passing flurries/light snow showers and there will be some clearing as winds pick up. Nevertheless, through tomorrow morning, we will see increasing clouds followed by our next chance for snow.
