Synopsis


Another quiet day is expected for both districts. A prominent mid and upper-level ridge will continue to build off to the southwest. At the surface, a large area of high pressure will sit over the region today. Westerly winds today will generate warm, dry air to both districts. Temperatures will be in the 80s across western North Dakota, with dewpoints ranging from the upper-30s to mid-40s. As a result of this high pressure and lack of moisture, convection will be kept at bay during the entire forecast period.
