windycartoonVERY STRONG WINDS LATE SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY WITH GUSTS OVER 50 MPH ARE POSSIBLE. ACCUMULATING SNOW IS ALSO ANTICIPATED… AND THE COMBINATION OF STRONG WINDS AND FALLING SNOW MAY LEAD TO POOR VISIBILITY FROM THE TURTLE MOUNTAINS SOUTH TO THE JAMES RIVER VALLEY.

WITH AREAS OF REDUCED VISIBILITY IN SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW…THERE

IS THE POTENTIAL FOR NEAR BLIZZARD CONDITIONS. MUCH UNCERTAINTY

REMAINS AT THIS TIME ON THE AMOUNT OF SNOW AND THE STRENGTH OF

THE WINDS.

 THIS AREA COULD RECEIVE 2 INCHES OF SNOW SOUTH TO 4 OR MORE NORTH IN THE  TURTLE MOUNTAINS. THOSE PLANNING TRAVEL ACROSS NORTH DAKOTA ON SUNDAY SHOULD CHECK THE LATEST FORECASTS AND ROAD CONDITIONS BEFORE SETTING OUT.

QUICKLY FOLLOWING THIS A COLD FRONT ARRIVES
 SATURDAY NIGHT SWEEPING ACROSS WEST AND CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA GIVING ANOTHER PERIOD OF WINDS IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE ARRIVAL OF COLD AIR.
