A clipper type system will bring impactful winter weather starting
over the Devils Lake Basin Wednesday afternoon and across eastern
North Dakota and northwest and west central Minnesota Wednesday
evening into Thursday. Confidence is high in minor travel impacts
across the region due to snow accumulations exceeding 2 inches,
followed by drifting and localized blowing snow impacts after the
snow ends Thursday. The greatest chance for blowing snow will be
Thursday afternoon across eastern North Dakota.
As the system develops a narrow band of heavier snow may develop
which could bring moderate winter travel impacts where it tracks.
Currently there is a 30% chance for greater than 6 inches of snow
over the Devils Lake Basin, with lower chances farther southeast
in Northwest and west central Minnesota. These types of features
carry lower predictability on location and coverage of impacts.
Be prepared for hazardous travel conditions Wednesday afternoon
into Thursday, and check the latest forecast if traveling.
