.DISCUSSION...
Below normal temperatures continue through this weekend, with
afternoon highs today in the upper 50s to mid 60s. Breezy
northwest winds gusting up to 25 mph will continue diminishing
through the afternoon, with minimum relative humidity dropping as
low as 30 percent. A few isolated rain showers are possible today
and tonight, but any rain received would be very light.
Light and variable winds tonight will become southeasterly on
Sunday and increase through the day, especially over far southwest
North Dakota where gusts up to 40 mph are possible. Where winds
are strongest, minimum relative humidity will only drop as low as
around 35 percent.
Widespread medium to high chances for rain showers will move
through Sunday night through Monday as a weather system and cold
front move through. Winds will shift from southeasterly to
westerly behind the front, and are expected to be strong over
western North Dakota, with gusts to 50 mph possible. Depending on
when the rain ends in southwest North Dakota, relative humidity
could end up in the upper 20 percent range, and we could see near
critical fire weather conditions in this area. Winds weaken
significantly on Tuesday with another moderate chance for rain on
Wednesday.
