Early Season Winter Storm Expected Thursday and Friday

via National Weather Service

DETROIT LAKES (KDLM) – An early season winter storm is expected in the Lakes Area Thursday and Friday, likely to bring at least minor winter impacts.

The National Weather Service says Impacts are expected to be mainly tied to travel conditions from accumulating snow, reduced visibility, and light icing. However, there is a chance this winter storm could bring major winter impacts to the area.

There is a 30% chance of seeing major winter impacts from heavy snow accumulation of 8-12 inches and possible blizzard conditions making for very difficult to impossible travel.

The National Weather Service says there remains some uncertainties in the track and evolution of the system.

You’re encouraged to check the forecast regularly for updates if traveling between Thursday and Friday. For the latest weather conditions anytime, download the Lakes Area Radio App.
