..Breezy North Winds Tuesday

North winds fill into the area as the H5 low moves slowly eastward. These winds will increase this evening and overnight, with 15-25 mph sustained winds expected by early Tuesday morning. Gusts up to 40 mph are possible, especially in the central and southern Red River Valley. Pressure rises are expected to be sufficient to favor a few higher gusts; however, with 700-850mb winds in the 35-45 knot range, and generally weak cold air advection, there is minimal support for anything more than occasional advisory level gusts.
