KEY MESSAGES

- Drying out this evening with near to slightly above average temperatures through the next seven days.

..Rain ending and warm and dry pattern setting in

Band of light rain currently over west central MN is associated with some mid-level frontogenesis, and is expected to move east out of our area in the next three hours. Drier air setting in behind the band, and think northwesterly winds will keep any fog tonight at bay even with recent rainfall. Northwesterly flow aloft continues into the upcoming week, with probabilities of at least a 0.01 of rain near zero except for some 10 percents near Lake of the Woods towards the end of the week. ECWMF EFI shows a trend towards temps above seasonal averages, but nothing on the extreme end of climo at this point.

AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z MONDAY/

Issued at 1136 PM CDT Sat Oct 3 2026

VFR conditions are expected to prevail across eastern ND and northwest MN through the TAF period, with much drier low level air in place off the surface. Winds should generally remain 10kt or lower except during the peak mixing period Sunday afternoon when gusts to 20kt may occur mainly over eastern ND. Shallow CU (5000-8000 ft agl) may develop at times due to a cold pool aloft in NW flow. The best chance for scattered to broken coverage is in northwest MN Sunday afternoon.
