A potent colorado low is forecast to move across South Dakota into southern Minnesota Tonight and Into Tomorrow, bringing in it's path widespread snow with some off and on blizzard conditions to sections of Eastern North Dakota and Parts Of Minnesota. According to NWS in GF the worst of the conditions will be experienced near or south of Fargo with snowfall accumulations totalling up to, and well past 30cm. Strong north winds and blizzard conditions can be expected in these areas tonight and Tomorrow. Travel is not advised in these areas,expect highway closures in various regions including the I-94 corridor between Bismarck and Minneapolis. The Storm will also affect most of north and central regions of Minnesota. Minneapolis will be affected as well, with a nice wintry mix of snow,rain,freezing rain, ice pellets and sleet are likely. People planning to travel in these regions should prepare to change their Travel Plans. For southern Manitoba there is no threat for snow, Although if you live along or south of the border prepare for a few centimetres, (5 at the most).

As for the Weather In the southern plains it turns more summerlike.
 
With gulf moisture and some high levels of instability along the Colorado Low's Cold Front it is making a perfect recipe for Severe Thunderstorms. Already there have been numerous reports of severe weather across the states creating havoc for citizens, including reports of hail so deep in Mullen, NE that people needed snowplows. Severe Thunderstorms are still rumbling through various regions at the minute as well Tornado watches and warnings have been issued off and on throughout the daytime. Expect a bigger threat tonight as the main push of moisture forms in Arkansas.
