The primary concern for residents and travelers in the affected areas is the potential for hazardous conditions on roadways. Heavy rain will undoubtedly lead to wet and potentially slick roads, increasing the risk of accidents. Furthermore, the prolonged and significant rainfall raises the possibility of localized flooding, especially in low-lying areas or regions with poor drainage. While the prospect of snow in the Black Hills might seem minor, wet snow can be very heavy and lead to power outages if it accumulates on trees and power lines. The warm ground temperatures in most areas are expected to mitigate significant snow accumulation, but the combination of rain and potential slushy snow could still cause disruptions. Travelers should stay informed about local road conditions and weather advisories throughout the duration of this storm.
