... A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS WINTER WEATHER WEEK... A STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO MOVE FROM BRITISH COLUMBIA TO THE CENTRAL ROCKIES TO THE NORTHERN PLAINS SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY. THE EXACT TRACK OF THIS SYSTEM IS STILL UNCERTAIN... BUT THE POSSIBILITY EXISTS FOR THREE ROUNDS OF SNOWFALL ACROSS EASTERN NORTH DAKOTA AND WESTERN MINNESOTA AS IT TRAVERSES THE WESTERN HALF OF THE UNITED STATES. THE FIRST ROUND SHOULD IMPACT MOST OF THE REGION SUNDAY EVENING THROUGH MONDAY MORNING WITH AN INCH OR LESS ACCUMULATION. IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING... THE SECOND ROUND SHOULD MOVE THROUGH MONDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH EARLY TUESDAY MORNING WITH ANOTHER FEW INCHES ACCUMULATION POSSIBLE. AFTER PERHAPS A SIX HOUR BREAK... THE THIRD AND FINAL ROUND COULD COMMENCE TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND CONTINUE THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT WHEN PERIODS OF MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOWFALL ARE POSSIBLE. THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR BREEZY NORTHWEST WIND WITH THIS LAST BOUT OF SNOW... POSSIBLY REDUCING VISIBILITY IN BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW AND RESULTING IN HAZARDOUS TRAVEL CONDITIONS. OVER THE 36 HOUR PERIOD... SIGNIFICANT SNOW ACCUMULATIONS ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE ENTIRE REGION. AN ARCTIC AIRMASS IS EXPECTED TO SETTLE ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS BEHIND THE DEPARTING SYSTEM FRIDAY INTO NEXT WEEKEND... BRINGING POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS TEMPERATURES AND WIND CHILLS.
