Extreme weather ahead for the Midwest today and tomorrow. The first major winter storm in our forecast area will take hold mainly on Friday. Up to a foot of snow is likely in western South Dakota. Blizzard conditions are possible with the wide open terrain and tight pressure gradient. Meanwhile, clashing airmasses and a strong upper level jet will produce necessary instability for supercell severe thunderstorms to starting popping later today. A strong tornado threat will also persist through Friday. Stay tuned for updates, here and on our facebook page --------->
