KEY MESSAGES

- There is a level 2 out of 5 risk for severe storms late Friday afternoon into the evening for portions of west central into north central Minnesota. Storms will be capable of producing all hazards.

- There is a high chance for soaking rainfall Sunday night into Monday night across the region which could impact outdoor activities.

..Late Weekend into Early Next Week Rainfall

A large upper low over the Pacific Northwest will propagate eastward towards the Northern Plains late Sunday into Monday. Very little instability appears in place, therefore severe weather is not expected. However, as the low tracks from southwest to northeast across the Northern Plains and Canadian Prairies, rainfall will overspread the region from west to east Sunday night, lasting into Monday. While there remains uncertainty in where the deformation band and heaviest rainfall will set up, with NBM probabilities for a half inch of rain is about 60 percent across the entire FA.

AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SATURDAY/

Issued at 1224 PM CDT Fri Sep 11 2026

A passing cold front will continue to shift winds from the south to the north this afternoon. The front has already passed KDVL, KGFK and KTVF. Winds will not become all that gusty behind the front, with only an hour or two of 20 knots gusts. Thunderstorms are anticipated to develop along the front during the late afternoon and evening hours. This is most likely to impact KBJI, therefore a TEMPO for -TSRA was included in their TAF. Winds will decrease overnight, before picking back up Saturday morning.
