The Winter Storm will last until 1 pm tomorrow afternoon.

Portions of Southeastern South Dakota, Southwestern Minnesota, and Northwestern Iowa will be affected by this storm.

According to the National Weather Service of Sioux Falls, travel will likely be very difficult during this storm, and patchy blowing snow could significantly reduce visibility on the roads, with the morning commute being especially difficult on Monday.

The National Weather Service of Sioux Falls says that if you absolutely must travel, there are a few precautions you can take before you hit the road.

First, keep an extra flashlight in your vehicle, and make sure to have extra batteries. Secondly, in case of an emergency and you're stuck in you're vehicle, bring provisions with you. A little food and water can go a long way if you're stuck in your car for a long period of time.
