KEY MESSAGES

- Potential for near critical fire weather in a few spots Thursday and Friday.

- Increasing temperatures this weekend with potential for heat impacts.

..Heat this weekend

The 590dm heights push into southeastern ND this weekend. ECWMF EFI are up to 95th percentile for MaxT on Sunday. With the trough axis passage late Friday, the dew points will not be quite as high as our last heat event. But still up into the 60s, which will push our heat index values in the southern forecast area above 100 degrees. Too soon for any heat headlines, but will continue to monitor.

Some smoke may obscure visibilities to 6SM overnight, but overall VFR conditions will persist through the entire TAF period. Winds will increase after sunrise tomorrow, generally sustained between 10-15 knots with occasional gusts to 20 knots. Thus, aviation impacts remain limited for the TAF period.
