Grand Forks, North Dakota — Breezy conditions and isolated light showers are expected across eastern North Dakota Saturday afternoon, with spotty rain developing between 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. and creating brief slick roads and reduced visibility in Grand Forks, Fargo, Devils Lake and Grafton.
According to the National Weather Service in Grand Forks, southwest winds of 15 to 25 mph will shift northerly later today, while only isolated sprinkles develop, limiting rainfall totals but still creating localized travel impacts.
This is part of a broader system bringing a brief warmup into the 60s this weekend before a cooler pattern returns early next week with additional shower chances.
Light rain may dampen road surfaces along I-29 and surrounding highways, especially on bridges and low-lying stretches where moisture lingers. Gusty winds could also push lightweight debris into roadways and create crosswind challenges for high-profile vehicles, particularly in open rural areas between Fargo and Grand Forks.
Drivers should maintain a firm grip on the wheel in gusty conditions and slow down on damp roads where traction may be reduced.
The most noticeable travel impacts will occur between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m., when winds and spotty showers briefly affect visibility and road conditions.
