Longer duration blizzard conditions are expected across parts of western to southern South Dakota where winds will remain elevated. DISCUSSION...Surface observations and regional web cameras from eastern MT, southwest ND, and much of western and southern SD continue to show persistent blizzard conditions with visibility reductions near/below 1/4 mile - primarily across open country away from terrain/urban sheltering. Nearly all of these observations are within a broad swath of blowing snow evident in GOES Snow/Ice imagery that extends from the MT/ND border southeastward into eastern NE. Wind speeds over the past several hours have been roughly 5-10 knots stronger than guidance, and are expected to increase slightly over the next couple of hours before peaking during the 22-00 UTC time frame. Consequently, widespread ground blizzard conditions appear likely through at least 00 UTC before gradually diminishing through the evening hours. If the noted low bias in wind guidance persists, the spatial contraction of blizzard conditions may be slower than currently depicted by most model solutions. Blizzard conditions will likely persist the longest across parts of western to southern SD where winds above 25 knots are probable through roughly 02 UTC and will support scattered to widespread visibility reductions to near 1/4 mile per blowing snow model output. ...Moore.. 12/22/2022 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!-XhFROqHoeunUTnTC6KsQXBdIb2cEXl1_QxZAXrXihIX8c2LrP8BIIkrJsUveeQX75cqHsLRH= hu6lOtMz-acV_cRqcM$ for graphic product...
