About the AI on this siteHow ifalls.news uses AI

ifalls.news is a small operation, and much of what you read here is written by AI systems we run. They read public sources, such as city and county agendas and minutes, school newsletters, park, weather and water-level services, and community calendars, and turn them into the articles, roundups and listings on this site. The box at the top of an AI-written article names the AI model and the sources it worked from.

Every automated article goes through automated checks before it publishes: one for structure and wording, and for most of our feeds a fact-check that compares the draft against its sources. A draft that fails is held for a person to look at. We do not read every article before it goes live. People review some of what publishes, spot-check the rest, and fix what readers report.

That means mistakes get through: a wrong date, a misspelled name, a number read off the wrong line, a meeting that was rescheduled after the agenda posted. For anything that matters, such as a meeting time, a closure, a deadline or a price, check the original source linked in the article.

If you spot an error, tell us through the correction form or at info@ifalls.news. We fix errors as soon as we see them.

Content on this site is provided as is. ifalls.news, Small Town Tech Inc., their staff and partners are not liable for decisions made on the strength of an AI-written article, and an AI-written article does not state a position of ifalls.news or its staff.

A Winter Storm Warning is in effect for International Falls and all of Koochiching County through 10:00 PM CDT this evening, Saturday, April 4. The National Weather Service in Duluth is calling for 1 to 4 additional inches of snow, with slippery road conditions expected through tonight.

The warning covers Koochiching and North Itasca Counties, including the Tribal Lands of the Bois Forte Band, Deer Creek, and Nett Lake areas.

The primary concern is road safety. If possible, delay non-essential travel until after the warning expires this evening. Anyone who does need to be out this afternoon or evening should expect slick conditions on area roads and highways.

If you must travel, NWS recommends:

  • Keep an extra flashlight, food, and water in your vehicle in case of an emergency
  • Check road conditions before heading out — call 511 or visit 511mn.org
  • Slow down and allow extra stopping distance on slippery roads
  • Let someone know your route and expected arrival time if traveling longer distances

The warning is in effect until 10:00 PM CDT tonight. Check the full NWS forecast below for the latest updates as conditions develop through the evening.
