Weather

Though there is a small streak of precipitation in Wyoming and South Dakota, it is quiet Tuesday morning. That is ahead of a system moving through the Rockies that will build in the Plains later Tuesday. Strong winds will develop throughout the day and a band of heavier precipitation will develop in the Central Plains Tuesday night, mostly as heavy snow. The two will combine to create blizzard conditions overnight into Wednesday which will extend into the Upper Midwest.
