North Dakota Weather March 3 Evening - Dense Fog Advisory

Good evening. North Dakota. I'm Aaron Jolly. Folks, if you're driving anywhere tonight, slow down. Seriously. A Dense Fog Advisory blankets central and eastern North Dakota until 8 A.M. Wednesday. Visibility is a quarter mile in spots. The reason? Warm air is creeping over our melting snowpack. And all that moisture just sits there. Thick. Low. Like breathing through a wet blanket. In the next 24 hours. Now the reward for surviving the murk. Tomorrow's a stunner for the southern half of the state. Eastern North Dakota leaps from tonight's low of 23 degrees all the way to 54 degrees Wednesday afternoon. Central areas push even higher, touching 55 degrees once that fog burns off into mostly sunny skies. That's the kind of afternoon where you crack the truck windows and remember what fresh air smells like. Drive north though. And it's a completely different day. Northern North Dakota tops out around 37 degrees near 10 A.M. Then temperatures actually slide backward. By 10 P.M., you're sitting at 19 degrees with wind chills near 16 degrees. A 30 degrees spread between the Red River Valley and the border. Classic North Dakota. There's a full moon tonight, by the way. Good luck spotting it through the soup. Looking ahead. Thursday cools into the 40s and 50s under gray skies. Friday brings the plot twist. A rain and snow mix rolls in with highs stuck in the mid 30s. But the weekend bounces back nicely. Saturday and Sunday both climb into the low to mid 50s. Early next week gets unsettled again with more precipitation chances. So enjoy that weekend warmth while the window's open. If your windshield's fogged over tomorrow morning, give yourself an extra ten minutes. Your commute will thank you. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.
