Aberdeen, SD – Snow is expected across parts of north-central South Dakota overnight, creating potentially hazardous travel conditions by Saturday morning.
According to the National Weather Service in Aberdeen, a Winter Weather Advisory is in effect from midnight tonight until noon CST Saturday for Campbell, Edmunds and McPherson counties.
Forecasters expect total snow accumulations between 2 and 4 inches during that time. Snowfall is forecast to begin around midnight and continue through late Saturday morning before tapering off near midday.
The advisory includes the communities of Herreid, Ipswich and Eureka.
Roads, particularly bridges and overpasses, are likely to become slick as snow accumulates overnight. Reduced traction and icy patches could impact early Saturday travel, especially for morning commuters and those traveling on rural highways.
Officials urge drivers to slow down and use caution. Slippery conditions may develop quickly as temperatures remain cold enough to support snow-covered surfaces.
Residents are also advised to use caution when walking outdoors. Stairs, sidewalks and driveways may become icy, increasing the risk of slips and falls.
The latest road conditions are available by calling 511 within South Dakota.
Drivers planning overnight or Saturday morning travel should allow extra time and remain alert for changing road conditions.
