Windy conditions are expected to develop through the afternoon of Saturday with south winds between 15-30 mph gusting over 40 mph in spots through Saturday night. Wind will remain breezy in North Dakota Sunday afternoon generally around 10-25 mph becoming lighter through the day as the strongest wind gusts move more eastward in areas in Minnesota and Iowa.
Areas of loose, light, and fluffy snow will likely lead to areas of blowing and drifting snow. I wouldn’t be surprised to see some advisories being issued for reduced visibility, especially in the Northern Valley of the Red River on Saturday evening and night.
Expected areas of blowing and or drifting snow Saturday into Sunday.
Here are a few snippets of the progression of expected wind gusts from Saturday afternoon into Sunday.
