Heavy snow and strong winds will be the main concerns, but freezing rain and ice are also possible.
"A winter storm is expected to impact the Northern Plains Monday night through Thursday," the National Weather Service office in Bismarck, North Dakota said. "Difficult travel conditions are expected Monday night through Wednesday night from heavy snow, reduced visibility, and drifting snow."If winds are at least 35 mph and visibility is less than one quarter of a mile for at least three hours, it could result in a full-blown blizzard across the region.
"While some uncertainty persists, confidence is increasing that strong winds and significant snows will produce hazardous impacts across much of the Central/Northern Plains and into the Upper Midwest," the prediction center said. "While tornadoes in December are relatively uncommon when compared to the springtime, they are often more likely across portions of the Southeast and Lower Mississippi Valley, where there is often a secondary peak in the fall and winter," Matthew Elliott, a meteorologist at the Storm Prediction Center, told CNN.
