MINOT, N.D. (AP) - Blizzard conditions persist over north central North Dakota.

The National Weather Service says wind gusts up to 60 mph and light blowing snow will continue to create travel difficulties Tuesday in Minot, Bottineau, Towner, Belcourt and Rugby.

A blizzard warning remains in effect until Tuesday night, although little new accumulation is expected. Minot Public Schools are among those with a delayed start Tuesday.



To the west, from Williston to Stanley, winds aren’t expected to quite be as strong. But, blowing snow is expected to reduce visibility to a-half mile. The area is under a winter weather advisory through 9 p.m. Tuesday.

The North Dakota Department of Transportation and the Highway Patrol issued an advisory Tuesday warning against traveling in north central and portions of northwestern North Dakota.
