Snow is possible in eastern South Dakota late Tuesday night and into Wednesday morning, according to the National Weather Service in Sioux Falls.

Sioux Falls has a chance of rain or snow showers between 3 and 5 a.m. Wednesday morning, the NWS says. The majority of precipitation will likely stay as rain in the area, said Kyle Weisser, a meteorologist with service.

"We'll probably still see a few flakes around Sioux Falls, but I don't think we'll have to worry about accumulating snow," Weisser said.

Chances of snow increase north of the Sioux Falls area near Huron and Brookings, with up to a couple of inches possible in the region throughout Wednesday morning. The mix could create slushy and slick roads, Weisser said.

The wintry mix will be short-lived though, since Thursday will be a high of 45 degrees and mostly sunny in Sioux Falls, NWS says.
