...RED FLAG WARNING FOR MUCH OF CENTRAL AND PARTS OF SOUTHWEST 
NORTH DAKOTA LATE THIS MORNING THROUGH THIS EVENING...

...FIRE WEATHER WATCH FOR MUCH OF WESTERN AND SOUTH CENTRAL NORTH
DAKOTA LATE TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY EVENING...

.For today, record-breaking high temperatures in the 90s, 
afternoon relative humidity values in the 10 to 20 percent range,
and strong southerly winds gusting to around 40 mph will combine 
to create critical fire weather conditions across much of central
and parts of southwest North Dakota late this morning through 
this evening. Then later tonight into Monday morning, a strong 
cold front will move across the state from west to east. This
front will cause a wind shift to the northwest and increase gusts
to around 45 to 50 mph along and behind the front. Even though
this frontal passage is expected during nighttime hours, relative
humidity is expected to remain lower than 40 percent through the
night. Temperatures will be much cooler during the day Monday, but
humidity in the 20 to 30 percent range combined with strong
northwest winds could produce another period of critical fire 
weather conditions across much of south central and western North 
Dakota through Monday evening.

1012 PM CDT Sun Sep 29 2024

...RED FLAG WARNING FOR MUCH OF WESTERN AND SOUTH CENTRAL NORTH
DAKOTA TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY AFTERNOON...

.For later tonight into Monday morning, a strong cold front will 
move across the state from west to east. This front will cause a 
wind shift to the northwest and increase gusts to around 45 to 50 
mph along and behind the front. Even though this frontal passage 
is expected during nighttime hours, relative humidity is expected 
to remain lower than 35 percent through the night. Temperatures 
will be much cooler during the day Monday, but humidity in the 20 
to 30 percent range combined with strong northwest winds will 
produce another period of critical fire weather conditions across 
much of south central and western North Dakota through the day 
Monday.

  the 90s on Sunday.

  central and portions of southwestern North Dakota. Near
  critical fire weather conditions elsewhere.

  area wide on Monday.

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 220 PM CDT Sat Sep 28 2024

Currently, a clear sky across the Northern Plains with a large
ridge of upper level high pressure anchored over the central
CONUS. Unseasonably warm temperatures for late September this
afternoon, with current readings well into the 80s many areas
along with low relative humidity and a light easterly breeze.

Main weather highlight in the short term period will be even
warmer temperatures on Sunday, along with critical fire weather
conditions. Upper ridge axis will shift to the east as a well
defined mid level S/WV moves onshore and advances inland across
the far Pacific Northwest/Southwestern Canada. Associated
sfc/mid level low strengthens in the lee of the Alberta/Montana
Rockies tonight into tomorrow, with increasing southerly flow
into the region. This will promote continued WAA across the
Dakotas, with likely record high temperatures on Sunday many
locations across western and central North Dakota. Increasing
boundary layer temperatures coupled with moderate to strong
mixing will also result in another afternoon of low relative
humidity and an increase in critical fire weather conditions.
See Fire Weather Discussion Below for more information on fire
weather. Wind headlines will also be possible, but will defer
this to later shifts.

The aforementioned S/WV will continue east along far southern
Canada Sunday night and Monday, and will drive a cold frontal
passage through the region later Sunday evening into the day
Monday. Resultant weather will be northwest winds increasing
(wind headlines are likely) along with much cooler temperatures
surging into the region (Highs Monday upper 50s northwest - low
70s southern James Valley), around 20-35 degrees cooler than
Sunday. Only chance of precipitation with this wave will be
across the north, with dry conditions expected elsewhere.

A quasi-zonal flow pattern is then forecast for the remainder of
the work week, with mainly dry weather conditions and
temperatures more seasonal. The probabilities for morning frost
and minimum temperatures dropping to around freezing will also
increase next week (it is late September/early October after
all), with the cooler mornings right now forecast for Tuesday
and Friday mornings. In addition, can't rule out more elevated
fire weather concerns next week, as fuels cure and we see
dry/breezy days ahead.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SUNDAY/...
Issued at 1234 PM CDT Sat Sep 28 2024

VFR conditions with a clear sky can be expected through the 18Z
period. Easterly winds today, will transition to southeasterly
tonight. Low level wind shear is expected at all terminals
outside of KJMS tonight through 14-15Z Sunday morning.
South/southeast winds will be then be breezy to windy over
central and eastern terminals during the day Sunday.

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 220 PM CDT Sat Sep 28 2024

...RED FLAG WARNING IN EFFECT FOR MUCH OF CENTRAL AND PORTIONS
OF SOUTHWESTERN NORTH DAKOTA LATE SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY
EVENING...

Critical to near critical fire weather conditions are expected
on Sunday across western and central North Dakota, as strong
southerly flow promotes highs in the upper 80s to upper 90s and
afternoon percent relative humidity in the teens to lower 20s.
Surface low pressure to our west will also result in breezy to
windy southerly winds during the day Sunday, strongest across
central and eastern areas of North Dakota where gusts will
range from 30 to 40 mph. The combination of these strong winds
and low relative humidity across central and portions of
southwesterly North Dakota will result in Red Flag conditions,
with near critical fire weather conditions elsewhere.

Breezy southerly winds will linger through Sunday night, with
nighttime humidity recoveries moderate to poor across southwest
and south centraL ND. A mainly dry cold front then pushes
through early Monday and through the day Monday. This will
switch winds to the northwest, and bring breezy to windy
conditions along with much cooler temperatures. Lingering fire
weather concerns are still possible across the south (those
counties along the SD/ND border), where afternoon humidity
values in the 20s will combine with the expected strong
northwest wind.
