...WINDS SLOWLY DIMINISHING OVER WESTERN AND CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA...

.AN ALBERTA CLIPPER THAT MOVED THROUGH THE AREA TODAY...HAS MOVED
WELL EAST OF WESTERN AND CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA. WINDS HAVE

ISSUED DUE TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF A BAND OF LIGHT TO MODERATE SNOW

REPLACES THE WIND ADVISORY THAT WAS IN EFFECT UNTIL MIDNIGHT CST.

MOTORISTS IN CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA SHOULD USE CAUTION WHILE DRIVING
AS THE COMBINATION OF STRONG WINDS AND REDUCED VISIBILITIES IN
SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW WILL MAKE TRAVEL DIFFICULT.
