Wind chill warning issued for Eastern North Dakota

GRAND FORKS — Eastern North Dakota is in a wind chill warning that is expected to remain through noon Monday.

The warning was issued by the National Weather Service, which sent a report to the media Sunday morning that noted the agency’s “high confidence in dangerous cold wind chills continuing through Monday morning.”

All counties in eastern North Dakota are in the warning. Counties in northwestern Minnesota are in a wind chill advisory. Hazardous wind chills are expected to continue through at least Monday, with an expectation of improvement Tuesday and Wednesday, the National Weather Service noted Sunday.

According to a chart created by the National Weather Service, wind chills in Devils Lake Sunday morning dipped below minus-50. It was the same in Langdon.

In Grand Forks and Fargo, the wind chill Sunday morning was in the minus-40s.

The NWS predicts wind chills to be in the minus-40s on Monday morning in Devils Lake and Langdon and in the minus-30s in Grand Forks, Fargo and Bemidji.

Come Tuesday, wind chills likely will improve somewhat, sitting in the range of minus-34 in Devils Lake and minus-28 in Grand Forks as the sun rises, and moving into the minus-teens after that.

It comes as the first blizzard of the season for Grand Forks County —

named Blizzard Andy by the Herald

— dissipates. The Saturday storm brought about 2.5 inches of fresh snowfall, but its true impact was its winds, which brought whiteout conditions to rural areas and pushed wind chills toward minus-60. The blizzard warning was lifted early Saturday evening.

The National Weather Service forecast for Grand Forks calls for highs in the single digits Wednesday through Saturday.

Our newsroom occasionally reports stories under a byline of “staff.” Often, the “staff” byline is used when rewriting basic news briefs that originate from official sources, such as a city press release about a road closure, and which require little or no reporting. At times, this byline is used when a news story includes numerous authors or when the story is formed by aggregating previously reported news from various sources. If outside sources are used, it is noted within the story.

North Dakota Democratic-NPL announces 2026 state convention plans

BISMARCK, N.D. (KFGO/KVRR) — The North Dakota Democratic-NPL will hold its state convention in Bismarck on Friday, March 6 to Sunday, March 8, 2026.

They say all official business will take place on Saturday, March 7.

Delegates to the state convention are elected at their legislative district conventions.

If a district does not fill its slate, it may allow the district chair to appoint the remaining delegates.

“At a moment when division threatens progress, we come together – across generations, communities, and regions – to reaffirm that democracy works best when everyone has a voice and a stake in what comes next,” North Dakota Democratic-NPL Secretary and Convention Planning Chair Kari Breker said. “This convention is about leadership rooted in hope, action over cynicism, and unity as the engine of lasting change. Together, we are not just defending democracy – we are building a future worthy of the next generation.”

The North Dakota GOP State Convention is scheduled to be held in Minot from March 26 through March 29 at the North Dakota State Fairgrounds.

JRMC recognized as top recommended hospital in North Dakota

JAMESTOWN — Jamestown Regional Medical Center (JRMC) has been recognized by Becker’s Hospital Review as one of North Dakota’s top recommended hospitals, an honor shared only by the Fargo VA Medical Center. This recognition is based on patients’ responses to the question: “Would you recommend this hospital to your friends and family?”

Inclusion on the top recommended hospitals list reflects a five-star rating for patient recommendations. Ratings are determined through the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) survey administered by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

“This recognition by Becker’s reflects our continued focus on exceptional patient care, clear communication and strong partnerships between patients and care teams,” said Trisha Jungels, JRMC chief nursing officer. “At JRMC, trust is built through listening, compassion and clinical excellence, and this honor reflects the dedication of our teams every day.”

JRMC’s inclusion on this list, along with other recent national awards and recognitions — such as its Pathways of Excellence designation and multiple top critical access hospital recognitions — further distinguish the medical center as a regional and statewide leader in care.
