RAPID CITY, S.D. - A storm with up to two feet of snow in May?
It’s a real possibility in the Black Hills of South Dakota and maybe into the rest of western South Dakota, western North Dakota and northeastern Wyoming Saturday night into Sunday with rain turning to snow.
As much as 24 inches of snow is possible in the higher elevations of the Black Hills with lesser amounts in other winter storm watch and warning areas. Rapid City could get six to 12 inches, the National Weather Service said, with western North Dakota getting up to six inches of heavy, wet snow.
Ag officials are warning farmers and ranchers to possibly move young calves and lambs indoors.
South Dakota state meteorologist Dennis Todey tweeted that it’s not unheard for snow in the region as more than 20 inches fell on May 2, 2008, in northwest South Dakota.
