- More widespread chances for showers and storms this weekend into next week. Some storms could be strong to severe.

..Heat into the weekend

With upper ridge building back north and southerly winds returning ahead of the surface trough over the High Plains, temps will warm back up over the weekend. The ECMWF EFI has 70 to 80 percentile signal for above average temperatures, and by Sunday the NBM probabilities of over 90 degrees in the Red River Valley are over 60 percent. Dew points currently in the upper 50s to low 60s, so heat index doesn't look too bad yet but will continue to monitor as some of the other heat risk indicies are creeping upward.
