Overview
There is a strong low pressure system over the lower- Mississippi River valley and SE U.S. This system will continue to move East before turning NNE and moving up the Atlantic coastline. Closer to home a weak low over Canada (north of Idaho/Montana) will slowly move East. An associated warm front is currently west of the Dakotas.
Discussion
Today we started off with patchy dense fog, cloudy skies and scattered snow. Temperatures climbed into the upper teens and lower 20s across most of Western, ND. After Noon, skies began to clear out a bit. A warm front to our West will be our next weather-changer. This front will gradually move East, bringing a mild air mass through most of North Dakota. During the next couple of days temperatures will warm through the 20s & 30s. By Saturday upper 30s and lower to mid 40s are expected. The approach of a weak cold front will bring scattered snow chances Sunday through Monday morning. Snow chances Sunday/Monday will add up to light accumulations in Western, ND.
Elsewhere, a strong low pressure system over the SE U.S. will continue to develop and begin to move up the Atlantic coastline Friday & Saturday. This system will bring widespread heavy snow to the Mid- Atlantic and into the NE. 1-2 feet of new snow is expected in affected areas with 2-3 feet possible for some.
Through the rest of tonight & Friday
Tonight we will see some clearing as temps fall into the single digits and teens. Parts of Western, ND will see another round of patchy fog as winds become calm. Tomorrow morning, expect in & out clouds with temps warming through the teens & 20s before topping out in the mid to upper 20s & lower 30s. Winds will pick up as they swing around to the South, becoming gusty at times.
Expect a warming trend with low snow chances to wrap up the work week. Temperatures will climb through the 20s & 30s and into the 40s by Saturday. This brief stent of mild temps will be interrupted by a weak cold front Sunday/Monday. The beginning of the work week will bring lows in the teens and highs in the 20s with only a couple chances for light snow during the next 7days.
