Winter Impacts Thursday/Friday

A swath of accumulating snow is expected north/northeat of a surface low which will track ESE toward the northern or central Red River valley Thursday evening. Highest chances of 2 inches of more is NE ND & NW MN, starting Thursday midday and ending Friday morning. Very strong wind gusts of at least 50 mph will impact eastern & RRV area Thursday night into early Friday morning. While there is a 20% chance for blizzard conditions, there remains large uncertainty in severity and location of impacts. Track of this low will determine snow, wind, impacts and also where rain will fall vs snow. Higher than usual uncertainty exists with this system as it is now just entering the Pacific Northwest. So stay tuned for further updates.
