The overall potential for wintry precipitation has expanded and increased, but amounts are still forecasted to remain relatively low. However, anything that falls will likely result in impacts given the very cold air that will already be in place. Timing for any wintry precipitation is Sunday afternoon through Monday morning. There is a medium to high chance of mostly snow near the Red River and a low to medium chance of freezing rain elsewhere. Impacts to travel, power, and broken tree limbs are all possible with this event.
- Move animals to sheltered areas or bring pets inside. Shelter belts, properly laid out and oriented, are better protection for cattle than confining shelters, such as sheds.
- Haul extra feed to nearby feeding areas.
- Have water available. Most animals die from dehydration in winter storms.
- Make sure pets have plenty of food and water and a warm shelter.
