FARGO (KFGO) – Winter weather affecting a large part of the upper Midwest is starting to affect travel. Much of the region is under a tornado warning until noon Thursday.
Interstate-29 is closed in both directions from Fago to Sioux Falls. I-94 eastbound is closed between Fargo and Bismarck. Westbound I-94 from Jamestown to Bismarck will reopen at 9:30 a.m. Thursday, but eastbound I-94 from Bismarck to Fargo and westbound I-94 from Fargo to Jamestown are closed. 19th Avenue North in Fargo was involved in a multi-vehicle crash around 8:00 am Thursday morning, and was closed shortly thereafter. The Minnesota Highway Department pulled a plow off the road in Clay County at 8:30 a.m. Thursday due to poor visibility.
