Huron, SD – A band of late-season snow is expected to blanket parts of South Dakota beginning Saturday afternoon, prompting a Winter Weather Advisory across central and southeastern portions of the state.
According to the National Weather Service in Sioux Falls, the advisory is in effect from noon Saturday through 7 a.m. Sunday. Forecasts call for snow accumulations between 1 and 4 inches across counties including Beadle, Davison, Brule, Aurora, and Charles Mix. Cities such as Huron, Mitchell, and Chamberlain are likely to see slick roads and reduced visibility.
Motorists should plan for slippery travel conditions Saturday evening through early Sunday. Areas under the advisory may also experience isolated higher totals depending on storm intensity and track.
Road conditions can deteriorate quickly in snow bursts, especially on untreated surfaces. Travelers are urged to reduce speed and maintain safe following distances. South Dakota residents can check real-time travel updates by dialing 511 or visiting SD511.org.
This storm marks a typical early spring pattern where warm-ups are interrupted by brief but disruptive snow systems. Residents should secure outdoor items and use caution while walking or driving during the advisory window.
