Much of North Dakota in store for more winter weather

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - Western and central North Dakota are in store for more winter weather.

The National Weather Service says dangerous wind chills as low as 40 degrees below zero will blanket the northwest and north central regions overnight into Friday morning. Wind chills that cold can lead to frostbite on exposed skin in as little as half an hour.

Snow is expected to develop across western and central North Dakota on Friday. Forecasters say total accumulations by the end of the weekend could range from 3 to 7 inches.

Much of northern North Dakota was hit by a blizzard earlier this week that brought heavy snow and winds gusting in excess of 50 mph, shutting down schools and blocking highways.
