Upper trough will continue to shift east across the northern
CONUS with sfc ridging ongoing locally. Winds will die off this
evening with clear skies, light winds, and dry air combining to
support the formation of frost across northeast WY and far
northwest SD early Sunday. Slightly warmer Sunday with highs in
the 70s most places under mostly sunny skies. Mean ridging can be
expected through next week, although a week upper trough will
shift through the region Monday, possibly supporting some high

the higher elevations given dry BL conds. Otherwise, expect a
gradual warming trend through the week, with temps back in the 80s
most places by the middle of the week, under dry conds.
