A low pressure system moving down from Canada will likely bring
\nimpactful winter to much of western and central North Dakota
\nThursday evening through Friday. Snow may begin falling in parts
\nof north central North Dakota as early as Friday afternoon. The
\nsnow is expected to intensify Thursday evening, with a heavier
\nband spreading south and east through the night and into Friday
\nmorning. Snowfall amounts greater than 4 inches
\nlooks likely from Devils Lake down through the Valley City<\/strong> and
\nForman areas. However, there is still uncertainty on the exact
\ntrack of this system.<\/p>\n

Lighter precipitation is likely across western and south
\ncentral North Dakota Thursday night through Friday afternoon,
\nwhich could fall as either snow or freezing rain. Finally, strong
\nnorth to northwest winds are likely to develop Friday morning and
\npersist through the afternoon, especially in southwest North
\nDakota. The strong winds may create areas of blowing snow.<\/p>\n

The greatest impacts from this system are likely to occur along
\nand east of Highway 83, where several inches of snow may
\naccumulate. But there is still uncertainty on the exact track of
\nthis system. Keep up to date with the latest forecast and weather
\nconditions at www.weather.gov\/bis.<\/p>\n

\"\"Bismarck\u00a0 \u2013 Gov. Doug Burgum has directed all government agencies to fly the United States and North Dakota flags at half-staff Thursday, Jan. 13, and encourages North Dakotans to do the same at their homes and businesses, in honor of former U.S. Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada on the day of his interment.<\/p>\n

The governor\u2019s directive is in accordance with a proclamation<\/a> issued by President Joe Biden after Reid passed away Dec. 28 at the age of 82.<\/p>\n

FARGO, N.D. (AP) \u2014 North Dakota Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem says a police investigator violated state law by confiscating a radio journalist’s cellphone without a valid warrant and has been forced to return the device. Tom Simon, who works for Williston Trending Topics News Radio Live and Coyote Radio 98.5, was asked to turn over his phone at a school board meeting Monday by Charissa Remus, an agent for the North Dakota Bureau of Criminal Investigation. Under North Dakota\u2019s shield law, information obtained by a journalist cannot be seized without a hearing before a judge to determine if a search warrant is required. No such hearing took place.<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 A group that represents North Dakota\u2019s Roman Catholic bishops is contacting parents of students at the University of North Dakota and asking that they urge administrators to reject the school\u2019s proposed \u201cgender inclusion\u201d policy. The policy, which is still in draft form, would require the use of a transgender person\u2019s preferred pronouns and the use of facilities that align with a person\u2019s gender identity. The Catholic Conference, on behalf of Bishop David Kagan of Bismarck and Bishop John Folda of Fargo, sent a letter this week to parents. UND President Andrew Armacost says the policy is intended to protect transgender students.<\/p>\n

FARGO, N.D. (AP) \u2014 State Republican Rep. Shannon Roers Jones of Fargo is running for mayor in North Dakota\u2019s biggest city. Roers Jones is an attorney and Fargo native, She has served in the Legislature since 2017. She will face Mayor Tim Mahoney, who has held the post since 2015. That’s when he took over as acting mayor when then-Mayor Dennis Walaker died after a long battle with kidney cancer. Mahoney, a general surgeon who says he’s a political independent, plans run for re-election in the city\u2019s June balloting. Roers Jones said she was undecided if she would seek re-election to her House seat.<\/p>\n

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) \u2014 The number of Minnesota state lawmakers who don\u2019t plan to seek reelection continues to grow. Longtime Rep. Paul Marquart joined the list Wednesday. The Democrat was first elected to the House 22 years ago after serving as Dilworth’s mayor for 11 years. Marquardt says that at age 65 it’s time to try new things. He\u2019s the fourth state lawmaker in just the past week to announce he won\u2019t seek reelection, following Rep. Tim Miller, Rep. Jim Davnie and Rep. Rod Hamilton.<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D.

In world and national news…<\/p>\n

(AP)\u00a0 Officials across the U.S. are again weighing how and whether to impose mask mandates as COVID-19 infections soar and the American public grows weary of pandemic-related restrictions. Much of the debate centers around the nation\u2019s schools, some of which closed due to infection-related staffing issues. Yet in a variety of places, mask mandates are being lifted or voted down. The changes come as the federal government assesses the supply of medical-grade respirator face coverings, such as N95 or KN95 masks. Jeff Zients is White House COVID-19 Response Coordinator. He says the government has a stockpile of more than 750 million N95 masks.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

(AP)\u00a0 Distrust, misinformation and other factors have combined to produce what authorities say are alarmingly low COVID-19 vaccination rates in U.S. children ages 5 to 11. As of Tuesday, just over 17% of these youngsters were fully vaccinated, more than two months after shots for them became available. There was a pre-holiday surge after the shots were introduced last fall, but the numbers have crept up slowly since then, and omicron\u2019s out-of-control spread appears to have had little effect. One doctor says the low rates and rising hospitalizations among children are a \u201cgut punch.\u201d|<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 Former President Donald Trump says politicians who refuse to say whether they\u2019ve received COVID-19 booster shots are \u201cgutless.\u201d In an interview with the conservative One America News Network on Tuesday night, Trump didn’t name names when he said some politicians have been afraid to admit they got the booster shot. But Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who’s often mentioned as a possible 2024 presidential contender, has notably declined to say whether he’s received a booster. Trump may be looking to create a political issue as he also eyes a run in 2024 because he can promote his administration’s success in facilitating the development of the shots.<\/p>\n

WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 The Federal Reserve says the economy was growing at a modest pace at the end of 2021 but was still being held back by ongoing supply-chain disruptions and labor shortages. In its latest survey of business conditions around the country, the Fed said its 12 regional banks found that the economy was continuing to grow. But many districts reported a sudden pullback in spending on leisure travel, hotels and restaurants because of the rapid spread of the omicron variant of the coronavirus. The Fed survey, known as the beige book, will form the basis for discussions when the central bank holds its next meeting on Jan. 25-26.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 The U.S. last month posted its smallest monthly budget deficit in two years. That was thanks to a rebounding economy that helped boost tax receipts, coupled with slower spending as some COVID relief programs ended. The Treasury Department reported that the December deficit of $21.3 billion was the smallest monthly deficit since a $13 billion shortfall in December 2019. That was before the COVID pandemic hit in the U.S. and pushed millions of people out of work, sending the economy into a short but steep recession. For the first three months of this budget year the government has recorded a deficit of $377.7 billion, 30.1% below the same period a year ago,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 The U.S. Army, for the first time, is offering a maximum enlistment bonus of $50,000 to highly skilled recruits who sign up for six years. The service is struggling to lure soldiers into certain critical jobs amid the continuing pandemic. Maj. Gen. Kevin Vereen, head of Army Recruiting Command, tells The Associated Press that shuttered schools and the competitive job market over the past year have posed significant challenges for recruiters. Heading into the most difficult months of the year for recruiting, the Army is hoping that some extra cash and a few other changes will entice qualified young people to sign up.<\/p>\n
