After the cold air arrives, a band of snow is<br \/>\nexpected to move into western North Dakota Wednesday morning,<br \/>\ncentral North Dakota in the early afternoon, and the Turtle<br \/>\nMountains and James River Valley by late Wednesday afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>Strong northwest winds will accompany the snow and produce areas<br \/>\nof blowing snow, and reduced visibilities as it moves across the<br \/>\nstate. Any one area will probably not see more than a few hours of<br \/>\nstrong winds and moderate snow at the same time, but the<br \/>\ncombination of snow and blowing snow will produce areas of reduced<br \/>\nvisibility, and with temperatures dropping, icy roads will linger<br \/>\nafter the snow ends. Snowfall is expected to be mainly an inch or<br \/>\ntwo for most areas, with a few areas possibly seeing up to three<br \/>\ninches.<\/p>\n<p>In Southeast North Dakota, there is a 20 to 40% chance for near blizzard or blizzard conditions to develop late Wednesday evening into the overnight hours. Most areas are expected to receive 1 to 3 inches of snow during this event with the highest impacts expected from 6pm Wednesday to 6am Thursday morning.<\/p>\n<p>If you have travel plans Wednesday through Wednesday night, be sure<br \/>\nto check the latest forecast and travel conditions before<br \/>\nventuring out. Very cold temperatures will linger over the state<br \/>\ninto the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the potential for precipitation Wednesday into Wednesday<\/p>\n<p>night, arctic high pressure will nudge down into the area from<\/p>\n<p>Canada.

(AP) \u2014 The company responsible for the largest oil field spill in North Dakota history has reported a leak from a pipeline within two miles of the record discharge in 2015. The latest spill from a Summit Midstream Partners pipeline leaked saltwater onto agricultural land \u201cvery close to the creek\u201d contaminated by the record spill reported north of Williston. The pipeline company and the state are monitoring the waterway known as Blacktail Creek. There were no signs the saltwater had reached the creek as of Tuesday morning.

Sherry Bren\u2019s testimony before a joint legislative panel examining the state\u2019s appraiser certification program is the first time that Bren has spoken in depth in public about a meeting in the governor\u2019s mansion last year since The Associated Press first reported on it in September.

Brooklyn Center Police Commander Garett Flesland testified Tuesday that Kim Potter, who resigned two days after she shot Wright, should have been familiar with the policies even as they evolved during her 26-year career and that she repeatedly signed documents acknowledging the rules. The testimony came during the second week of Potter&#8217;s manslaughter trial. The defense has called the shooting a horrific mistake. Prosecutors have said Potter was experienced and trained to know better.<\/p>\n<p>In sports\u2026<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-241047\" src=\"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Addison-Jalen-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Addison-Jalen-300x169.jpg 300w, http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Addison-Jalen-768x432.jpg 768w, http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Addison-Jalen-1024x576.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Addison-Jalen-311x175.jpg 311w, http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Addison-Jalen.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>MADISON, S.D.\u00a0 (NSAA)<strong>\u00a0 <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.vcsuvikings.com\/article\/4254\">Valley City State<\/a> University senior guard <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vcsuvikings.com\/roster\/49\/1\/3887\" data-url=\"\/SIDHelp\/briefBio\/49\/1\/3887\" data-original-title=\"\">Jalen Addison<\/a> is the NSAA Men\u2019s Basketball Player of the Week, the conference office announced Monday.<\/p>\n<p>Addison earned the North Star Athletic Association weekly honor after averaging 21 points and five rebounds per game this past week during a pair of Viking wins.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>North Star Athletic Association Men\u2019s Basketball Player-of-the-Week<\/u><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.vcsuvikings.com\/roster\/49\/1\/3887\" data-url=\"\/SIDHelp\/briefBio\/49\/1\/3887\" data-original-title=\"\">Jalen Addison<\/a> \u2013 Valley City State (N.D.) \u2013 6\u20192\u2033 \u2013 Senior \u2013 guard \u2013 Milwaukee, Wis.<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Addison averaged 21.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 2.0 assists per game as (RV) Valley City State (N.D.) won a pair of home games.\u00a0 He scored 22 points on his 9-of-16 field goals, including 4-of-9 3-points in fueling the Vikings to a 107-63 victory over Maine-Fort Kent.\u00a0 He scored all of 20 of his points in the first half (8-of-12 field goals and 4-of-7 3-pointers) in VCSU\u2019s 104-52 victory over Oak Hills (Minn.), only playing 13 minutes in the game.\u00a0 For the week, Addison totaled 42 points on his 17-of-28 field goals (60.7 percent) and drained 8-of-16 3-pointers (50 percent).\u00a0 He pulled down 10 rebounds and dished out four assists for the week.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Recap from last week\u2019s games<\/u><\/strong><br \/>\nMost North Star Athletic members are idle last week as they prepared for the fall academic final examinations.\u00a0 Presentation (S.D.) remained at 8-5 overall record and Waldorf (Iowa) at 3-7 overall record.<\/p>\n<p>Valley City State (N.D.), receiving votes in the latest NAIA Men\u2019s Basketball Coaches\u2019 Top 25 national poll, closed out the 2021 portion of the schedule with a pair of home victories.\u00a0 The Vikings cruised past Maine-Fort Kent 107-63 on Dec. 8 and Oak Hills (Minn.) 104-52 on Dec. 12.\u00a0 VCSU is 10-4 overall record on the season.<\/p>\n<p>Mayville State (N.D.) lifted their overall record to 6-3 after a 94-49 victory over Trinity Bible (N.D.) on Dec. 6 and a 95-44 home rout over Maine-Fort Kent on Dec. 9.<\/p>\n<p>Bellevue (Neb.) fell short in an overtime road contest at Iowa Wesleyan by the score of 80-71.\u00a0 The Bruins dropped their overall record to 7-6.<\/p>\n<p>Viterbo (Wis.) split a pair of games during the week.\u00a0 The V-Hawks lost to Olivet Nazarene (Ill.) 89-70 on Dec. 8.\u00a0 VU returned home and earned an 88-69 victory over Mount Mercy (Iowa) on Dec. 10.\u00a0 Viterbo is 5-6 overall record.<\/p>\n<p>Dakota State (S.D.) fell short at home to No. 10 ranked Jamestown (N.D.) 81-71 on Dec. 7.\u00a0 The Trojans are 3-10 overall record.<\/p>\n<p>Dickinson State (N.D.) could not get their first win of the season last weekend at home.\u00a0 The Blue Hawks dropped a 71-64 overtime thriller to (RV) Montana Tech on Dec. 11.\u00a0 DiSU lost an 86-64 contest to Montana State-Northern on Dec. 12.\u00a0 Dickinson State is 0-10 overall record.<\/p>\n<p>In world and national news..<\/p>\n<p>WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 The House is debating recommending criminal contempt charges against former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows. The action would rebuke Meadows for saying he would no longer cooperate with the panel investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection. That panel voted 9-0 Monday night to recommend the contempt charges. A House vote to hold him in contempt would refer the issue to the Justice Department, which would decide whether to prosecute the former Republican congressman. It would be the first time the House has voted to hold a former member in contempt since the 1830s, according to House records.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 The District of Columbia has filed a civil lawsuit seeking harsh financial penalties against far-right groups Proud Boys and Oath Keepers over their role in the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol by supporters of former President Donald Trump. The suit also names dozens of the groups&#8217; senior members, many of whom already face criminal charges for taking part in the violent attack. Karl Racine, Washington\u2019s attorney general, says the suit seeks compensation for damages to the city and intends to inflict maximum financial damage on the groups responsible. The suit was filed Tuesday in federal court.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>ROCHESTER HILLS, Mich. (AP) \u2014 The father of a Michigan boy charged with fatally shooting four students at Oxford High School mouthed \u201cI love you\u201d to his wife as the couple appeared in court to face involuntary manslaughter charges. James and Jennifer Crumbley are accused of giving 15-year-old Ethan Crumbley access to a gun and failing to intervene when they were confronted with his disturbing drawings a few hours before the the Nov. 30 shooting. A judge granted a request by prosecutors and defense lawyers to postpone until Feb. 8 a key hearing that will determine whether the elder Crumbleys will face a trial.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) \u2014 Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo was ordered by New York\u2019s ethics commission Tuesday to give up the millions he was paid to write a book about his response to the pandemic. An attorney for Cuomo immediately called the action unconstitutional and promised a fight. Cuomo was directed to turn over proceeds earned from \u201cAmerican Crisis: Leadership Lessons from the COVID-19 Pandemic\u201d within 30 days under a resolution approved 12-1 by the Joint Commission on Public Ethics. The order came a month after the commission voted to rescind approval of Cuomo\u2019s $5.1 million book deal. Cuomo resigned in August amid findings he sexually harassed 11 women.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>JOHANNESBURG (AP) \u2014 The omicron variant is offering more hints about what it may have in store as it spreads around the globe: A highly transmissible virus that may cause less severe disease, and one that can be slowed \u2014 but not stopped \u2014 by today\u2019s vaccines. An analysis Tuesday of data from South Africa suggests the Pfizer vaccine offers less defense against infection from omicron and reduced, but still good, protection from hospitalization. The findings are preliminary and have not been peer-reviewed, but they line up with other early data about omicron\u2019s behavior, including that it seems to be more easily spread from person to person.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>CAP-HAITIEN, Haiti (AP) \u2014 At least 60 people were killed and dozens more injured after a gasoline tanker overturned and exploded in northern Haiti. The blast occurred shortly after midnight in the coastal city of Cap-Haitien. Early reports indicate that the tanker was trying to avoid an oncoming motorcycle when it flipped. Onlookers then rushed to the scene with buckets to scoop up the tanker\u2019s valuable cargo as it spilled toward a nearby pile of simmering trash. It&#8217;s the latest tragedy to befall the Caribbean island following the July assassination of President Jovenel Moise and a 7.2 magnitude earthquake a few weeks later.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 President Joe Biden says the nation owes the families of those killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School nine years ago \u201cmore than our prayers. We owe them action.\u201d In a video released Tuesday, Biden said that \u201cno matter how long it\u2019s been, every one of those families relives the news they got that day.\u201d The president said everything changed that day, and the \u201cthe nation was shocked.\u201d A gunman killed 20 first-grade students and six educators inside Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, on Dec. 14, 2012. A senior White House official says Biden shares frustrations expressed by many gun violence prevention groups that Congress is acting too slowly to implement new gun legislation.<\/p>\n<p>LAS VEGAS (AP) \u2014 O.J. Simpson is a free man. A Nevada State Police spokeswoman said Tuesday the 74-year-old former football hero and actor, acquitted California murder defendant and convicted Las Vegas armed robber was granted good behavior credits and discharged from parole effective Dec. 1. Simpson&#8217;s lawyer, Malcolm LaVergne, says his client declined an immediate interview. LaVergne also declined to talk about Simpson\u2019s future, including whether he intends to remain in Nevada. Simpson was acquitted in Los Angeles in the 1994 killings of his ex-wife and her friend, and convicted in Las Vegas in October 2008 of armed robbery. He served nine years in prison for leading several men in a confrontation with two sports collectibles dealers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CSi Weather&#8230; .TUESDAY NIGHT&#8230;Mostly cloudy.
