...SIGNIFICANT WINTER WEATHER POSSIBLE THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY 

WEEKEND...



There is increasing confidence for a significant winter storm 

impacting much of western and central North Dakota this holiday 

weekend. 



For Thanksgiving Day, light snow is expected, but generally less 

than an inch is expected. Travel should be minimally impacted. 



Then beginning Thursday night, there will be increasing chances 

for a wintry mix of freezing rain and snow, creating a light glaze

of ice on roads, sidewalks and bridges. The freezing rain and snow

is expected to continue on Friday, possibly impacting travel.



Then a change over to all snow is expected Friday night, and by 

Saturday widespread snow will be possible across much of west and 

central North Dakota. 



Winds are also expected to become strong on Saturday, with 

blizzard conditions possible. While confidence in this storm 

impacting western and central North Dakota is increasing, exact 

details remain uncertain. There is a greater likelihood that 

southern parts of the state will see the worst impacts from this 

storm.



Be prepared for the possibility of significant winter weather

impacts this weekend. Travel may become very hazardous across the

region. Keep up to date on the latest forecast information at
