Blizzard Potential - Risk

Blizzard Potential Wednesday Night into Thursday

Late Wednesday into Thursday, there is a high chance of blizzard conditions in the northern half of the Red River Valley and northeastern North Dakota and a medium chance for blizzard conditions in southeastern North Dakota and southern Red River Valley. This includes whiteout conditions and very strong winds. If you have travel plans during this time within these regions, consider altering them as dangerous to impossible travel conditions accompany this blizzard potential. If you must travel, ensure your vehicle has a winter survival kit. Also, widespread closures and disruptions to infrastructure may occur.

A strong system will impact the region Wednesday night into Thursday. A brief period of rain Wednesday night will transition to snow. Snowfall accumulations will remain light, however winds as high as 70 mph will cause significant blowing snow. Areas that recieve more snow, such as northeastern ND into the northern Red River Valley, have the highest chance of seeing blizzard conditions. If you are traveling or have plans, make sure to stay up to date with the latest forecast.
