(Fargo, ND) -- Drivers are facing an elevated risk of high winds while driving across North Dakota.
State officials issued travel advisories across several counties in northeast North Dakota, as high winds and snow totals around 1-3 inches across the Red River Valley are expected. Highway Patrol officials say an order restricting travel for high-profile, long-load type and permitted over-dimensional vehicles remains in effect statewide for as long as windy conditions persist. Authorities say similar federal restrictions are currently in place as high-wind conditions persist across the state.
