National Weather Service
That National Weather Service has updated their forecast for the winter storm expected to impact our area beginning Tuesday night.
Meteorologists have intensified their forecasts for northeastern North Dakota, with up to a foot of snow expected in some areas near the Canadian border. Coupled with wind speeds of up to 40 miles per hour will make conditions very hazardous tonight through Wednesday morning.
Forecasters have lowered their snow predictions for southcentral and southeastern North Dakota, with 1-4” predicted in areas of Stutsman County. A rain/snow overnight mix will freeze early Wednesday morning and then turn to all snow. This could make driving conditions in the I-94 corridor and to the south extremely hazardous Wednesday morning and afternoon.
The unseasonably-warm weather is still expected to dissipate by Tuesday night, and highs in the upper-teens to 20s expected for most of the rest of the week in southeastern North Dakota. Temperatures in Jamestown could eclipse 30 degrees on Wednesday night, then settle back into the teens for the rest of the week. Wind speeds will also be moderate to high through Saturday morning, with sustained winds in the James River Valley reaching 30 miles per hour and gusts of up to 40 mph.
