KEY MESSAGES

- Predominately dry period coming up the next 7 days.

..Rain Today, Fog/Drizzle Tonight

Rain is slowly ending from west to east across southern reaches of the FA. In its wake, several observation sites are reporting drizzle. Soundings show saturation up to 2 Km in depth persisting into tonight with sufficient low level lift. Therefore, patches of drizzle and fog will remain a concern into Saturday morning. It is uncertain when stratus and drizzle will burn off Saturday morning, as for the most persistent locations (which are currently favored to be in far southeastern ND), it may take until the drier air behind the cold front comes through during the afternoon hours.

AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SUNDAY/

Issued at 1249 PM CDT Sat Sep 19 2026

MVFR to IFR ceilings at most of the TAF sites. Think ceilings will gradually improve to a mix of MVFR to VFR this evening, then eventually all VFR by the end of the period. At this point the the probabilities of visibility less than a mile at the TAF sites are below 20 percent, so will keep any restrictions to visibility out for now but not completely out of the question. Winds that are northeasterly will become more northerly and then back to northeasterly by the end of the period, but most airports will see less than 12 kts in speed.
