...SNOW AND STRONG WINDS WITH REDUCED VISIBILITY AND ICY ROADS
THIS EVENING IN NORTHWEST NORTH DAKOTA...

Snow is expected to end over northwest North Dakota early this
evening. however strong winds gusting up to 45 mph will continue
over the area through mid evening. In addition, falling
temperatures through the evening will create icy roads where wet
and snow covered roads freeze. The combination of snow and winds
will occasionally reduce visibility as low as one half mile at
times, especially in open country. Icy roads will likely linger
into Friday morning. If you are planning to travel, be sure to
keep up to date on the latest road conditions, and carry a winter
survival kit in your vehicle. Use extra caution and be prepared
for reduced visibilities and slippery roads.
