Overview
Across the nation we have fallen into a fairly calm weather pattern. The remnants of a low pressure system are fizzling out over the NE U.S. Elsewhere, a broad ridge of high pressure remains anchored over the Gulf Coast states and most of the Northern, Central & Southern Plains. Over the Pacific NW a low pressure system is moving over the West Coast.
Discussion
There is a broad ridge of high pressure that extends over the Northern Plains. This high brought us plenty of sunshine with temps warming into the 50s & 60s. Minot & Bismarck set new record high temps and Williston, Dickinson & Mobridge tied record highs.
If you thought today was very nice, tomorrow will be slightly warmer with another round of temps through the 50s and well into the 60s for most of our area. The warmer weather will be interrupted by a clipper Saturday night. We will see increasing clouds followed by scattered rain/mix as this system moves through the Dakotas. In the wake of our weekend clipper, temps will be in the 40s Sunday. Not as warm as today & Saturday but mild & well above average for this time of the year. There will be some clearing on Sunday, followed by a cold front Sunday night. By Monday morning it will be chilly with temps in the 30s and cooling through the day.
All together:
Saturday, no jacket but bring an umbrella through the evening and night.
Saturday, no jacket but bring an umbrella through the evening and night.
Sunday morning, most of the mix/snow should be cleared out but bring an umbrella just in case & bring a light jacket.
Sunday night, scattered snow and falling temps. Bring a jacket.
Monday morning, bring a jacket and keep it through the day.
Through the rest of tonight & Saturday
Expect fair to partly cloudy skies across with temps cooling through the 30s. Lows will be near freezing for most of the area with a few 20s on the map. Winds start to calm and become light.
Tomorrow we will start the day with plenty of sunshine and temperatures quickly warming through the 40s & 50s. Daytime highs will run well above average with near record breaking temperatures again. Through the evening hours, expect increasing clouds followed by a chance for scattered rain/mix as a clipper moves through the Northern Plains.
