Discussion
A low pressure system that is moving through the Upper Mississippi River Valley will continue to move East and away from our area. In the wake of this latest snow system there is a new snowpack ranging from a 1-3 inches (4+ isolated). Outliers include a trace of snow for some and 4+ inches in other areas. Parts of Bismarck, Harvey and Plaza received 4 inches. Carrington got 4.5 inches. Through the next couple of days, we will see much cooler temps coninue. With plenty of moisture in our air and fresh snow on the ground, there will be a chance for some fog tonight with a few flurries/freezing drizzle possible as well. Through the weekend, no large scale features will directly impact our area.

There is currently a system over California that will move across the Rockies Sunday Night & Monday. After Noon on Monday (through the evening) this system will begin to impact the Western Dakotas. Late on Tuesday this next system will be moving out of our area and into the Upper-Midwest. Snowfall with this system at the beginning of next week will be much different. Model guidance has been fickle with the track of the center of low pressure with this system. As of this evening, higher snowfall accumulations will be centered just south of our state and in the SE corner of ND. The Southern half of Western ND will see moderate totals and the Northern half of Western ND will see the lower range of new snow totals. This next system will add another bump in bringing temperatures into a seasonable range (BIS avg. 7/27).
Through the rest of tonight & Saturday
Cloudy skies will remain in play with a light wintry mix/freezing rain possible, overnight. During this time our latest weather-maker will continue to move East and away from our area. Snow chances will taper off and winds will calm down as temps settle in the lower 20s. It will feel like it is 5-10 degrees cooler than it is. Tomorrow Clouds will stick around with some clearing possible and daytime high temps topping out around the freezing mark. The SW corner of ND will see some more sunshine and highs will be well into the mid to upper 30s. It will feel like the teens & 20s through most of the day.

7day planner Saturday & Sunday we will see cloudy skies with some sun shining through the clouds and temperatures closer to where they should be for this time of the year. Monday night & Tuesday a second front will move through the Northern Plains. This next system wil affect our area through Tuesday and into Wednesday. After this next front, temps will return to the seasonable norm (BIS avg. 7/27) and there will be a little more snow on the ground. Late next week temps will return to the seasonable norm with gradually clearing skies.
