Grand Forks, ND – A winter weather advisory continues across parts of Minnesota and North Dakota.
According to the National Weather Service in Grand Forks, the advisory remains in effect until noon CST Saturday for portions of west central Minnesota and southeast North Dakota.
Additional snowfall of up to two inches is expected before the system tapers off late this morning. Areas included in the advisory are Wilkin and Grant counties in Minnesota and Barnes, Ransom, Sargent, and Richland counties in North Dakota. Cities within the advisory area include Elbow Lake, Breckenridge, Wahpeton, Valley City, Forman, Lisbon, and Gwinner.
The primary impact will be slippery road conditions, particularly on untreated surfaces, rural highways, and secondary roads. Snow-covered stretches and reduced traction may affect late-morning travel, especially for weekend commuters and those heading to work or activities.
Officials urge drivers to slow down and use caution while traveling. Even light accumulations can create hazardous conditions when temperatures remain below freezing.
Motorists can check the latest road conditions by calling 511 in their respective state for real-time updates on closures, advisories, and travel impacts.
The advisory is scheduled to expire at noon CST, though lingering slick spots may persist beyond that time depending on local road treatment and traffic conditions.
