Rain is forecast to develop over western ND late Tuesday evening and spread east across the remainder of the forecast area late Tuesday night through Wednesday afternoon.

Precipitation type looks to remain all liquid except for perhaps a mix of rain and snow around the Turtle Mountains Wednesday morning and then again on the back edge of the precip Wednesday afternoon as some colder air tries to move in.

Any accumulations here are expected to light (around a half inch or less) and limited to mainly the Turtle Mountains area and points east. Liquid amounts are expected to range from trace to 0.05 south and west of the Missouri, to possibly a quarter inch from the Turtle Mountains into the James River Valley.

Snow for much of the state Wednesday night through Thursday night (tapering off west to East).

Strong winds coming late Wednesday night through Thursday morning.  Wind at advisory criteria through  Thursday.

Friday will feature colder temperatures while snow lingers in the east. Strongest winds will shift central and east, and daytime highs are forecast to remain from the upper 20s to low 30s. In the far west winds will taper off with clearing skies as high pressure builds, and highs may push into the upper 30s.

 

 

Jamestown  (JPS)  Jamestown Public School District will not have school on Friday, November 12.  With nearly 100 student-athletes earning opportunities for regional/state competition on Friday, this results in 16 total coaches and a large number of parents on staff who, understandably, want to support their children in these events.  When factoring in activities, other approved leaves, an already limited pool of substitute teachers, and a high volume of students planning to attend events to support their classmates, the district believes the best course of action is to cancel school on Friday, November 12.

It was also announced that   Jamestown Public Schools will be closed on Veterans Day, November 11, 2021.

FARGO, N.D. (AP) — A Fargo woman has been sentenced to serve seven years in prison for fatally stabbing her boyfriend. Thirty-four-year-old Terin Stately had previously pleaded guilty to manslaughter in an agreement with prosecutors after she was initially charged with murder. Stately told the judge in Cass County District Court Monday that she did not intend to kill 27-year-old Keanen Poitra at their Fargo apartment in May 2020 and that the stabbing was the result of ongoing drug use and domestic abuse. Stately told investigators that she and Poitra had argued about him seeing other women. She said she grabbed a steak knife to keep Poitra away from her. The stab wound severed an artery, causing Poitra’s death.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Federal authorities say five people are accused in a large-scale drug trafficking operation that brought more than 350 pounds of methamphetamine to two American Indian reservations in North Dakota in the last three years. A grand jury indicted 25-year-old Uzziel Garcia, of Arizona; 57-year-old Allan Widmayer, of Minot; 50-year-old Corey Baker, of Sheyenne; 40-year-old Nathan Smith, of Fort Totten; and 36-year-old Charlsie Walking Elk, of Tokio. The group is accused of conspiring to move the drugs to North Dakota for distribution primarily on the Spirit Lake and Turtle Mountain reservations. Authorities say Baker had allegedly received up to 3 pounds of meth per month from Widmayer and Garcia since 2018.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota’s Republican-led House has endorsed a new legislative map that creates three new districts in the state’s fastest-growing areas but erases an equal amount in population-lean rural regions. Representatives voted 73-18 on Tuesday to approve the new map that also separates House districts on two American Indian reservations in the state. It’s a move tribal leaders believe will increase the odds for electing their own members to the Legislature. Several GOP House lawmakers argued against the split districts on reservations, saying it was unfair and not needed. Backers said the state faced a federal lawsuit if the split districts were not included.

 

In world and national news

KENOSHA, Wis. (AP) — A forensic pathologist says the first man killed by Kyle Rittenhouse during a night of turbulent protests in Kenosha was shot at close range of just a few feet and had soot injuries that could indicate he had his hand over the barrel of Rittenhouse’s gun. But Dr. Doug Kelley from the Milwaukee County medical examiner’s office testified Tuesday that it was unclear from video footage whether Joseph Rosenbaum was grabbing for Rittenhouse’s gun or trying to swat it away. His testimony came after the jury at Rittenhouse’s murder trial watched drone video that showed Rittenhouse wheeling around and shooting Rosenbaum at close range. The 18-year-old Rittenhouse faces life in prison if convicted on the most serious charge.

 

BRUNSWICK, Ga. (AP) — The man who initiated the chase that ended in Ahmaud Arbery’s death rapidly changed his story to police on why he suspected Arbery was a criminal. A patrol officer who interviewed Greg McMichael at the scene of the February 2020 shooting told a jury Tuesday that McMichael at first told him Arbery had been caught on video “breaking in all these houses out here.” Later he said Arbery had been recorded entering a single home still under construction a few times. McMichael and his adult son, Travis McMichael, armed themselves and chased Arbery in a pickup truck after spotting him running in their neighborhood. Neighbor William “Roddie” Bryan joined them and took cellphone video of Arbery being shot. All three men are charged with murder.

 

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A Tennessee judge has resentenced a death row inmate to life in prison for the second time in two years after finding that his trial was marred by racism during jury selection. The trial court judge on Tuesday resentenced Abu-Ali Abdur’Rahman to three consecutive life sentences. If the resentencing is not challenged, he will spend the rest of his life in prison but without the threat of execution. The judge first resentenced Abdur’Rahman, who is Black, in 2019 after questions of racial bias in jury selection arose. That resentencing order was thrown out when an appeals court found the judge did not follow the proper procedure, setting the stage for Tuesday’s do-over.

 

(AP) General Electric, the storied American manufacturer that struggled under its own weight after growing to become a sprawling conglomerate, will divide itself into three public companies focused on aviation, health care and energy. It is the culmination of an arduous, years-long reshaping of a symbol of American manufacturing might that could signal the end of conglomerates as a whole. The company has already rid itself of the products most Americans know, including its appliances last year and the light bulbs that GE had been making since the late 19th century when the company was founded. The announcement Tuesday marks the final stage, divvying up an empire created in the 1980s under Jack Welch, one of America’s first CEO “superstars.”

 

NEW YORK (AP) — The U.S. says that it’s inviting the global community to visit now that the government has ended the ban on travelers from 33 countries. In reality, however, it will still be difficult for much of the globe to enter the country. Experts say it will take years for travel to fully recover. Half the world isn’t vaccinated, for starters, which the U.S. now requires of entering foreigners. Even if you are vaccinated, there are months-long delays in getting the visas needed to enter the U.S. And other countries have their own strict rules which complicate foreign travel.
