Special Weather Statement issued December 31 at 6:01AM CST by NWS Bismarck ND

Effective: Wed December 31, 2025, 6:01 AM
Expires: Wed December 31, 2025, 9:00 AM

An area of freezing drizzle could move from northeast to southwest across much of western and central North Dakota this morning. Should this occur, the freezing drizzle could deposit a thin layer of ice on untreated surfaces, resulting in slippery roads and sidewalks and hazardous travel conditions. The morning commute may be impacted. Motorists should check road conditions before traveling. Do not use cruise control when driving on icy roads, and leave plenty of stopping distance ahead of you.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
