A strong storm system will move through the state Wednesday into Thursday, with accumulating snow, rain, and winds gusting to 65 mph expected with this system. Blowing snow and reduced visibility is a significant concern for much of the state, and snow squalls are possible in southwest North Dakota Wednesday night. Stay tuned for forecast updates and be prepared for winter weather and very strong winds!
Mild temperatures continue Tuesday and Wednesday, although a strong storm system moves through Wednesday and brings very strong winds to the area, as well as chances for rain and accumulating snow. Colder air moves in for Thursday but is short-lived as we moderate for the end of the work week.
Very strong winds are expected midweek, with westerly winds and mild temperatures on Tuesday. Our next weather system moves in on Wednesday, bringing not only the very strong wind gusts to 60 mph in the evening and into Thursday morning, but widespread chances for precipitation as well.
