Sheldon, Iowa — The weather for the next few days isn’t going to be the nicest. But it could be worse. To our northeast, in the middle of South Dakota, they could get two feet of snow.
Around here, we could see rain, ice, and snow. Plus, the wind could also be a factor. Depending on how much ice and wind we get, there could be powerline and tree issues, according to the National Weather Service. Matthew Meyers, a meteorologist for the Sioux Falls office tells us about it.
He gives us an idea of what to expect on Tuesday and beyond.
Meyers says with the temperatures hovering right around freezing, it’s difficult to predict where the precip will fall as rain or as snow, or as rain on cold surfaces, causing ice to form. He says the winds will become a problem as well.
According to Meyers, the slow-moving system will finally push off to the east by Friday. But he says that’s when the cold air will arrive. Friday and Saturday highs in Sheldon are forecast in the teens with some subzero windchills.
