East Grand Forks drivers should prepare for morning fog reducing visibility on U.S. Highway 2 and local roads through midweek. Low clouds could slow the morning commute, with visibility dropping below one mile in spots.
According to the National Weather Service in Grand Forks, patchy fog will linger each morning through Thursday, September 25, before sunshine takes over. Winds remain light and variable, shifting to the southwest by midweek. Afternoon highs will stay comfortable in the mid-70s, while nights cool into the low 50s, signaling fall’s arrival.
The fog threat remains the main hazard, particularly for drivers crossing bridges and rural stretches where moisture tends to settle. Commuters should allow extra travel time, use low-beam headlights, and maintain distance in traffic until fog burns off by late morning.
After Thursday, clear skies dominate with daytime highs ranging from 71 to 76 degrees through the weekend. Friday looks especially sunny, though a west-northwest breeze could make the evening feel cooler. By Saturday, more crisp air slides into the region, dropping nighttime lows into the upper 40s—an early taste of the chillier weeks ahead.
While no frost concerns appear yet, residents should stay alert as October nears. Seasonal transitions in the Red River Valley often bring sharp temperature swings and quick shifts from mild to cold.
Conditions remain steady into early next week, but updated advisories are possible if fog thickens or if colder Canadian air pushes south.
