KVLY Alerts - Valley News Live - KVLY/KXJB - Fargo/Grand Forks
Quite the storm...heaviest snow in quite some time for some spots in the southern valley. Glad forecast worked out ok.... Several reports I see of 16-22 inches Wahpeton-Lidgerwood area then toward Detroit Lakes. Likely 11-12 in Fargo when all is said and done.....but with wind impossible to get an accurate measure. UND hockey team and many fans are spending the night up and down I-29 in South Dakota either in Brookings/Watertown or Sisseton.

I wanted to give a shout out that a major winter storm may well impact a large part of North Dakota Sunday. The area of greatest threat looks to be Bismarck-Minot to Fargo-Grand Forks then into northern Minnesota where widespread 6+ will be possible along with some wind. It will be a heavy wet snow. It may start in southwestern North Dakota Saturday night but its worst impacts will be felt in central and eastern North Dakota Sunday daytime into Sunday eve.
