...FREEZING RAIN COULD IMPACT NORTHWEST AND NORTH CENTRAL NORTH
DAKOTA ON SUNDAY...

An area of light freezing rain is forecast to move from west to
east across northwest and north central North Dakota Sunday
morning and afternoon. Ice accumulations could be spotty, but
most areas along and north of Highway 200 may see at least a
glaze of ice, which could make untreated surfaces very slippery.

It only takes a small amount of freezing rain to make travel
hazardous. If you have travel plans on Sunday, be sure to check
the latest road conditions before setting out. Do not use cruise
control when driving on icy roads, and leave plenty of stopping
distance ahead of you.
