KEY MESSAGES

- Above average temperatures continue through Tuesday with cooler temperatures Wednesday through Friday.

..Synopsis

Northwest flow prevails aloft this afternoon into the overnight hours ahead of a weak H5 shortwave. Upper flow briefly becomes westerly as the trough moves across the area late Tuesday into early Wednesday. A low chance for light rain will accompany the trough, with the best chances for measurable precipitation remaining primarily south of Highway 2. The probability for 0.1 inch of rain is holding steady at about 30 percent in west central Minnesota, with lower chances elsewhere.

Much cooler air filters into the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest as the trough slides eastward and northerly H5 flow develops. Today's high temperatures will reach the upper 50s to near 60 degrees; however, temps begin a downward trend heading into Tuesday as cloud cover overspreads the area and light rain moves across the southern half of the forecast area. Highs on Tuesday are expected to reach the upper 40s to low 50s. Temps fall to near normal heading into the Wednesday through Friday period, with highs in the upper 30s to near 40 degrees, and overnight lows in the 20s.

VFR conditions are expected through the TAF period across eastern ND and northwest MN. Surface high building across the region 0will result in winds dropping below 10kt from the west this evening and this weak surface gradient remains in place through Tuesday (winds may be variable 5kt or less at times). A low level jet in place over far eastern ND and northwest MN this evening (30-40kt) may result in a period of low level wind shear this evening into the early morning hours Tuesday before the low level jet transitions east of the region and winds aloft decrease.
