Aberdeen, SD – A Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect across parts of northeast South Dakota and west central Minnesota until 3 p.m. CST Saturday, bringing light snow and areas of blowing snow that may create slick and hazardous travel conditions.
According to the National Weather Service in Aberdeen, additional snow accumulations of up to one inch are expected through the early afternoon. Patchy blowing snow may also develop in open areas, briefly reducing visibility.
The advisory includes portions of Brown, Marshall, Roberts, Day, Spink, Clark, Codington, Grant, Hamlin and Deuel counties in South Dakota, along with Traverse and Big Stone counties in Minnesota. Cities impacted include Aberdeen, Watertown, Sisseton, Webster, Clark, Redfield, Milbank, Wheaton and Ortonville.
Officials warn that roads, especially bridges and overpasses, are likely to become slick. Drifting snow is expected in rural areas, and localized blowing snow may temporarily lower visibility in areas prone to wind exposure.
Drivers are urged to slow down and use caution while traveling. In Minnesota, updated road conditions are available at 511mn.org or by calling 511. In South Dakota, travelers can call 511 for the latest roadway information.
Pedestrians are also advised to use caution on stairs, sidewalks and driveways, where icy surfaces may increase the risk of slips and falls.
