BISMARCK, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – A winter storm is expected to impact the Northern Plains Monday night through
Thursday.

Meteorologist Zach Hargrove of the National Weather Service in Bismarck says this “Colorado Low” will be coming in from the south. When the upper-level system goes over the Rockies, the surface low will deepen to the eastern side of the Rockies, then it eventually moves up into Nebraska and northward from there. Precipitation will extend from northern Nebraska all the way to central North Dakota.

Hargrove says as it stands now, a large part of North Dakota will be in line to receive a significant amount of snow.

According to Hargrove, this storm will be different than our last storm. He is expecting this system to be a prolonged light to moderate snow event to last several days.

According to the models now, Hargrove expects the storm to move into southern and central North Dakota late Monday.
