KEY MESSAGES

- Level 1 out of 5 risk Thursday overnight for the Devils Lake basin. Isolated severe storms possible.

- Dangerous heat this weekend into early next week.

UPDATE

Issued at 544 AM CDT Wed Jul 8 2026

The higher end scenerio of severe storms and very heavy rainfall overnight did not occur. That is a good thing. Flood watch was cancelled early. A few showers yet around SE ND into WC MN early this morning, otherwise a dry day today with mix of cloud and sun.

..Dangerous Heat

As the ridging builds into the weekend, anticipate max temperatures 95F-100F (maybe a bit warmer) across much of the region Saturday through Monday. Heat risk, wet bulb globe temp, and heat index values all indicate a dangerous heat episode.

AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z THURSDAY/

Issued at 953 PM CDT Tue Jul 7 2026

Convection continues to be the main aviation impacts for the next few hours as a weakening thunderstorm complex brings some rain and lightning to the KBJI and KFAR area. Should start transitioning over to more VCSH by 06Z with just a few lingering spits as the primary complex moves further from our airports. Clouds behind the convective complex look to remain VFR, with light and variable winds starting to pick up out of the northeast by tomorrow morning. Decreasing clouds and northeast winds 8 to 10 kts will continue through most of tomorrow, and winds will become light and variable by the end of the period.
