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.

WASHINGTON – U.S. soldiers with the North Dakota, Arkansas and Nebraska Army National Guard, assigned to Joint Task Force-District of Columbia in support of the DC Safe and Beautiful mission, responded to a shooting incident at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner (WHCAD) at the Washington Hilton in Northwest Washington April 25.
The Guardsmen were at the WHCAD at the request of the U.S. Secret Service (USSS) as an additional patrol unit created specifically for the event, which celebrates the contribution of news organizations and independent journalists alike who provide notable coverage relating to the presidential administration.
“Our mission was to assist the U.S. Secret Service with crowd control,” said Capt. Kevin Peatrowsky, an operations officer with the Nebraska National Guard (NENG) assigned to JTF-DC.
As the Guardsmen were monitoring their area of operations, they saw USSS agents sprint toward the hotel entrance.
“They were running full speed with their weapons drawn,” said Sgt. 1st. Class Allen Haney, a team member with the Arkansas National Guard. “We immediately followed suit.”
Staff Sgt. Kirsten Confer, a NENG combat medic and battle captain, recalled her response to the incident: “We fell back on our basic training. You run toward danger and move in a way that makes sense for the situation.”
According to Confer, the Guardsmen entered the hotel and immediately began securing the scene and ensured that the guests evacuated safely. At the direction of a federal agent, Confer began a rapid trauma assessment on the suspect which resulted in finding knives and ammunition on the shooter. Simultaneously, the Arkansas soldiers moved outside to provide crowd control at a pedestrian barricade outside the hotel.
“From there, we assisted wherever we could,” said 2nd Lt. Caleb Hill, a National Guardsman from North Dakota who served as the officer in charge for the mission. “We were initially helping with crowd control. After that, we realized that the USSS had begun rerouting everyone in the hotel, so we moved to the doors. We were controlling entry into the venue, so we had moved a couple more people outside, so we had five inside, eight outside.” Both Arkansas and Nebraska worked well alongside one another and, alongside the federal agencies. Hill also noted that relying on his soldiers allowed him to move to different teams, which helped allow him to plan and coordinate with different agencies.
According to 1st Lt. Jonathan Goins, a platoon leader with the Arkansas National Guard, Arkansas soldiers also helped establish a security perimeter for the staging of the presidential motorcade. Later, the team assisted federal agencies and MPD with crowd control, which helped clear the way for the president and administration officials, he said.
“Guardsmen on this mission represent the very best of the nation,” said U.S. Army Brig. Gen. Leland Blanchard II, the interim commanding general of the District of Columbia National Guard. “The world got a brief glimpse, but I see them each day serving and doing amazing things across the District.”

Sioux Falls outshot Fargo 53-49, including 9-5 in overtime. Linards Feldbergs made 48 saves.
