Snow will continue to spread through eastern South Dakota, far southeast North Dakota, northwest Iowa, Minnesota, northern Wisconsin and the western U.P. of Michigan Thursday night into early Friday.

We'll also have a threat of severe storms and flooding on the warm side of Winter Storm Yogi. In general, we'll be watching a corridor from the southern Great Lakes to the Ohio Valley and middle/lower-Mississippi Valley. This severe weather threat may move off to the East Coast on Friday.
