Winter Storm Watch
Statement as of 11:30 am CST on January 7, 2009

... Winter Storm Watch remains in effect from Thursday afternoon
through Friday afternoon...

A Winter Storm Watch remains in effect from Thursday afternoon
through Friday afternoon.

An approaching low pressure system has the potential to bring
another five to ten inches of heavy snow to northwestern and
portions of central North Dakota by Friday morning. There is also
potential for freezing rain or sleet Thursday morning through
Thursday evening within the watch area and elsewhere across west
and central North Dakota. In addition... strong northerly winds
behind this storm system will produce considerable blowing and
drifting snow late Thursday night through Friday... which will
significantly reduce visibilities and create blizzard conditions.

A Winter Storm Watch means there is a potential for significant
snow... sleet... or ice accumulations that may impact travel.
Continue to monitor the latest forecasts.
