...SNOW SHOWERS AND REDUCED VISIBILITIES FROM A COLD FRONT TO
IMPACT WESTERN AND CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA TONIGHT...

A cold front moving through North Dakota this evening into early
Saturday morning will produce scattered snow showers and gusty
winds. The combination of this snow and northwest winds gusting to
near 40 mph, will result in periodic reduced visibility of one
half mile or less at times. Those traveling tonight will want to
check the latest road conditions before departing. Use extra
caution, as roadways will become slick and visibility in falling
and blowing snow will be reduced.
