KEY MESSAGES

- The majority of the showers and isolated thunderstorms through the weekend are expected to be west of the Red River. Better chances for showers and thunderstorms across all of eastern North Dakota and western Minnesota will be early next week.

- Not as hot over the weekend and into next week, but temperatures are still above average.

..Temperatures from the weekend into next week

With the upper ridge just to our east starting to break down and some shortwaves starting to bring some cloud cover, temperatures will be a bit more moderate and top out in the 80s instead of the 90s over the weekend. ECMWF EFI still shows a warmer than usual temperature signal, which makes sense given southwesterly flow aloft. Temps by the end of the period look to be just above average instead of well above seasonal averages and nearing records.

AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z SUNDAY/

Issued at 1144 PM CDT Fri May 29 2026

VFR ceilings will work through the region throughout the TAF period. Winds tonight have become light and variable. As we go into Saturday morning, winds will increase out of the southeast, gusting to around or over 20 knots at KDVL, KGFK and KFAR by afternoon. Gusts will dissipate Saturday evening after sunset. A few renegade showers look likely on Saturday. However, their exact location and timing are uncertain. In addition, impacts would be extremely limited, as ceilings and visibilities would likely remain VFR. Therefore, no PROB30s or TEMPOs were added at this time for this shower activity on Saturday.
