Synopsis


No significant weather is expected today for both districts. There is a stationary front that moved from South Dakota up in between both districts today over the upper level ridge we have been sitting in over the past couple of days. This stationary front acts as a dry line, causing dew points to be lower in the 30s in District 1 and higher in the upper 50s in District 2 today. CAPE values are 0 J/kg across both districts, and there is no relative humidity today.

There is a shortwave trough moving in from western Montana that should make its way into our area tomorrow giving both districts a chance for convection starting in the late afternoon.
