Bismarck, ND – A winter storm watch is in effect for much of South-Central North Dakota, including the cities of Jamestown, Bismarck, and Carrington, from 7 a.m. Tuesday through late Wednesday night. The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued the alert due to the expected heavy snow, with totals between 6 and 12 inches in some areas. Winds could gust as high as 40 mph, leading to areas of blowing snow that could drastically reduce visibility and make travel difficult.
According to the NWS, the storm will bring hazardous conditions across the region, with the potential for slippery roads, especially impacting the Tuesday morning and evening commutes. Travelers should prepare for significant delays and exercise caution when driving in affected areas.
The storm will also affect other parts of North Dakota, including surrounding counties like Logan, La Moure, and McIntosh. As snow accumulations mount, conditions are expected to worsen, with poor visibility likely to complicate travel even further.
The NWS urges residents to stay updated on the latest forecasts as the storm progresses and take necessary precautions to ensure safety.
