Overview
There is a low pressure system over the Southeast U.S. that will continue to move East, over the Atlantic Ocean. A Cold front is stretched back to the West & Southwest. A second low is over southern Texas. This system is bringing a risk for severe weather to affected areas. Elsewhere, a broad ridge of high pressure is over the upper- Midwest and slowly moving east, toward the Great Lakes region.
Discussion
Across the area today we saw plenty of sunshine with only a few light clouds. Temperatures climbed through the 60s and into the 70s, topping out above average for this time of the year. The warm area on the map was Northwest, North Dakota; Sidney, Williston & Minot tied at 77 degrees. This pleasantly warm feel will remain in the forecast through the rest of the work week as temps continue to climb, day by day.
A ridge of high pressure over the upper- Midwest is stretched over the Dakotas. As this system drifts to the East, we will start to see more changes in our weather conditions. As of Tuesday evening, there is some hit & miss cloud cover over the Dakotas with no rain showing up on radar. Winds across Western ND were light to moderate and out of the South& SE. Eastern ND was seeing light & variable winds. Tonight, winds will remain out of the South & SE for most of the area. This light to moderate wind will keep temperatures from dipping too far into the 30s. As the western edge of this ridge moves through the state we will see more clouds roll into the area with winds picking up a bit. Sunshine will continue through the rest of the work week with a few more clouds, resulting in mostly sunny skies and warming temps by Thursday & Friday. As we wrap up the work week and go into the weekend, we may see a few isolated showers.
Headlines include a ridge of high pressure that will continue to affect our area as it drifts East & Southeast. Expect plenty of sunshine with a few in & out clouds through the next couple of days. Temperatures will climb into an unseasonably warm range due to more sunshine and the lack of rain chances. Our next chance for rain will be late this weekend.
Through the rest of tonight & Wednesday
We will see mostly clear skies with a few clouds and light winds. This evening will be pleasant followed lows in the 40s. Tomorrow, winds will become light to moderate and a little gusty for some. It will start off a little cool with temps climbing through the 50s & 60s and into the 70s across the state. Rain chances are not in the forecast and we will see a few more clouds in the sky.
