KEY MESSAGES

- Risk for multiple rounds of severe storms starting late Saturday through at least Monday. All hazards are possible.

- Potential for heat impacts next week, including the Fourth of July weekend.

..Heat for the upcoming work week and holiday weekend

With upper heights rising over the Northern Plains, the ECMWF EFI shows a strong signal for above climo temperatures heading into next week. Probabilities from the NBM for highs above 90 degrees are over 70 or 80 percent for southern portions of our CWA on Monday, and chances are that high again for other days that week. Max wet bulb globe values are up into the high and extreme ranges for several days next week, and the extended range outlooks call for plenty of heat as we head into the Fourth of July weekend. Will start messaging heat impacts in our partner and public messaging.

AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SATURDAY/

Issued at 1230 PM CDT Fri Jun 26 2026

VFR conditions with some cumulus bubbling around 4000-6000 ft and high clouds increasing. Some light rain showers currently south of Fargo that will push northeastward, impacting KFAR and possibly KTVF later this afternoon. Additional showers and a few thunderstorms possible later tonight in northeastern ND as some decaying convection moves in from the west. However, confidence is not too high so will keep KDVL and KGFK prob30 for now. Some of the models bring some MVFR ceilings at KDVL and KBJI late in the period. Winds will continue to stay out of the southeast, with our gusts this afternoon to around 20 kts dropping off overnight. Wind speeds increase again and gusts return late in the period, with a 30 percent chance for gusts over 30 kts at KDVL and KFAR.
