KEY MESSAGES

- Dry and seasonally warm weather into next week.

UPDATE

Issued at 552 AM CST Thu Nov 5 2026

Cloudy area wide. Fog did form but well west of our forecast area so removed from the grids. Few flurries noted in NW Ontario and a sprinkle or two noted around Waskish. Main question forecast wise thru the day into tonight will be sky cover trends. There are breaks in the clouds upstream just north of Winnipeg and Brandon MB, and all models do gradually dry out the 925 layer with lowering RH this aftn and tonight. How much clearing this promotes is uncertain.

..Rain Slowly Ending Late Wednesday

After three days of stratus and on and off rain, the upper low responsible for the latest dreary weather will finally push northeast tonight. This will bring an end to rainfall. Cloud cover may not be as fast to leave, with stratus or fog forming overnight. Low level winds to look to remain a bit elevated, which may help limit the areal extent of fog and keep us with more stratus instead. Nonetheless, with recent rainfall, a few patches of fog are forecast overnight into Thursday morning across much of eastern ND into adjacent portions of northwestern MN.

AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z FRIDAY/

Issued at 552 AM CST Thu Nov 5 2026

Cloudy this morning with ceilings sub 1000 ft agl in the Devils Lake basin and also in the east edge of the RRV from KTRF to KDTL and also around Fargo-Moorhead. Rest of the area ceilings 1000-1400 ft agl. Trends today will be for ceilings to reside mostly in the 1000-1500 ft agl range mid to late morning and then likely scenario is a slow rise in the ceiling base heights this afternoon and evening. Scattering out of the MVFR deck is possible tonight but confidence is low to moderate at this time. North winds gusting 20-25 kts this morning but lowering this aftn and then near calm by evening.
