Wintry weather forecast Friday – Saturday.

…WINTRY WEATHER ACROSS SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA FRIDAY THROUGH EARLY SATURDAY EVENING…

Two rounds of snow from Friday afternoon through Sunday morning…

Two rounds of snow will impact the Red River Valley and

surrounding region from Friday afternoon through early Sunday

morning.

The first round of snow developed over South Dakota Friday

morning and moves into southeastern North Dakota in the early

afternoon. Snowfall rates will then increase as the showers expand

north and east in the late afternoon. The main impact area will

be along and south of the Interstate 94 and Highway 10/34

corridor…from Valley City to Park Rapids. Generally two to four

inches of snow are expected by midnight…with some of the higher

snowfall rates occurring during the Friday afternoon rush hour.

The second round of snow will target the Highway 2 corridor

northward to the international border. This round of snow will

move into the Devils Lake region Saturday morning and expand

eastward through midnight. This impact area could see snowfall

accumulations from two to five inches, with the highest amounts

right along the international border. Even higher amounts are

expected north of the border.

Areas between these two primary impact areas will see light

snowfall amounts accumulating over a relatively long period from

noon Friday through sunrise Sunday morning.
