Winter Storm Warning through late Saturday for southeast & east-central ND, northwest and most MN counties in our viewing area. Expected snowfall 6-12 inches. Locally higher amounts possible.
Winter Weather Advisories through late Saturday for Devils Lake basin and far northern Red River Valley into two counties in NW MN. Expected snowfall up to 6 inches.
FIRST ALERT WEATHER DAYS: FRIDAY – SATURDAY:
Round 2: Conditions will quickly deteriorate through Friday evening. With temperatures in the mid 30s in the southern valley in the afternoon, there is a chance of wintry mix as well. Snow with this round overspreads more of the region and will be heavy at times. Potential for 6 to 12+” for a large area. It’s not until Saturday night that snow tapers off and exits the region. A general 1-6″ across the far northern valley. Less far southeast due to warmer temperatures and more mix.
VNL Forecast Snowfall Potential Round 2 (Friday through late Saturday night):
VNL Snow Forecast(Valley News Live)
The snow will be wet and heavy. Take precautions while shoveling and take breaks as needed! The good news with this is that not as much wind is expected compared to our typical snow storms. It will be breezy Saturday, though, which will lead to some further impacts to visibility with falling snow.
EASTER SUNDAY – MONDAY: Just in time for Easter, the snow will be behind us, though we may still be digging out and roads could still be slushy and snowy! It will be cold Sunday morning with lows in the teens to low 20s. Under a partly cloudy sky with a west wind, afternoon temperatures warm into the 30s and low 40s. Bundle up for the Easter egg hunts! There is just a slight chance for isolated wintry mix late in the day north and east. Monday remains colder with lows in the teens to low 20s and highs 20s to near 30 and a northwest wind.
TUESDAY – NEXT WEEKEND: Tuesday morning starts cold in the teens before warming into the 30s with a blustery wind. Wind continues Wednesday with warmer afternoon temps in the 40s and low 50s. Back into the upper 30s and low 40s the rest of the week. A couple of disturbances may bring light rain and mix chances through the week.
