From the National Weather Service in Bismarck: (updated 11/20/24 at 8am)

Winter Weather Advisory is in effect until 6pm tonight for portions of western, south central, and southeast North Dakota.

Plan on slippery road conditions, blowing & drifting snow which will significantly reduce visibility!

A winter storm will continue to bring strong northwest winds to the region today, with peak gusts to 55 mph. These strong winds will decrease tonight into Thursday. Chilly highs today as a winter storm starts to move east of the region. Afterwards, temperatures trend warmer through Saturday, before cooling again Sunday-Monday. While uncertainty increases for next week, there is potential for even colder temperatures across the region as we head into the Thanksgiving Holiday weekend.

Areas in "red" are under a NO TRAVEL ADVISORY!

Stay up-to-date on all winter weather alerts, delays and closings with the Liechty Homes Snow Desk!

Road Condition Terminology

The following terms will be used to relate to winter road conditions, to maintain consistency, and keep the traveling public well informed. The NDDOT will utilize these terms to inform the public about road conditions that warrant increased awareness.

TRAVEL ALERT

Motorists can still travel but may encounter areas of challenging winter weather driving conditions on roadways. Motorists should allow extra time to reach their destination and be alert to conditions that may make travel difficult, change rapidly, or cause travel delays. A TRAVEL ALERT has the potential to change to a NO TRAVEL ADVISED if conditions deteriorate.

NO TRAVEL ADVISED

Motorists should not travel due to hazardous conditions which may make it unsafe to travel. Snow plows may be pulled from the roads during severe conditions. Motorists should take NO TRAVEL ADVISED seriously as those motorists who choose to travel at their own risk may become stranded and emergency responders may not be able to reach them safely. A NO TRAVEL ADVISED has the potential to change to a ROAD CLOSED OR BLOCKED if conditions deteriorate.

ROADS CLOSED OR BLOCKED

Motorists are not allowed to travel on a closed road due to life threatening conditions. The road may be impassible or blocked. Motorists who drive past a road closure device may be fined up to $250.
