Forecasters are tracking another winter storm that is expected to move through the state this week. Kyle Weisser of the NWS says this is a larger, slower-moving system than the one that hit last week. He says the areas which look to be hit hardest are to the west and north of Mitchell. About 2/3rds of the state is under some sort of watch, advisory, or warning through Thursday, ranging from blizzard, ice storm, and winter storm warnings to winter weather advisories. No weather alerts have yet been issued for Mitchell or the surrounding area.
Mitchell can expect a mixed bag of precipitation including freezing rain, rain, sleet, and snow through Thursday. Western and northern South Dakota are expected to receive up to a foot of snow. Those with travel plans may want to consider altering those plans.
