SIOUX CITY | A storm system stretching all the way from Colorado through the Great Lakes is expected to arrive in Sioux City Sunday afternoon.
And, for now, it looks like Sioux City and other parts of the tri-state region will be in the narrow, heaviest band of snow brought by the system.
Matt Dux, a meteorologist with the Sioux Falls National Weather Service, said the storm could bring as much as six inches of snow to the area -- but he cautioned that the storm is more than 48 hours away, and forecasts change.
"You have to remember, it's a little bit early yet," he said, adding that snowfall amounts are liable to change.
Dux said winds associated with the storm could be as high as 30 to 40 miles an hour, which would cause significant blowing now.
"It does look for those planning their early workweek, that Monday drive is going to be a rough one," he said.
A Winter Storm Watch goes into effect for Sioux City beginning on Sunday and continuing through Monday.
"They're more or less issued for the potential of winter weather," Dux said of the Winter Storm Watch. "Continue to monitor your forecast."
