.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 222 PM CDT Tue May 12 2026

...Synopsis...

Upper low rotating off towards Lake Superior will leave the
Northern Plains in northwesterly flow aloft tonight. The
pressure gradient will relax this evening as the surface low
pulls east and high pressure builds into the region. A bit of a
break from the wind tomorrow with the surface high nearby, but
rising upper heights and 850mb temps along with mostly sunny
skies will boost highs in the 70s. Another strong shortwave
trough will move towards the Saskatchewan/Manitoba border
Thursday, with pressure gradient and winds increasing again out
of the south. Some signals for precipitation along the surface
trough axis late Thursday into Thursday night, and a few of the
models show some elevated instability. Probabilities for
thunder are 20 percent and under. That shortwave moves off into
Ontario on Friday, with strong west winds as the surface low
moves by to the northeast. Near zonal to southwesterly flow
aloft sets up for the weekend into early next week, with the
highest chances for an embedded shortwave and thus some
precipitation on Sunday.

...Headlines for winds this evening as well as Thursday and
Friday...

Current winds gusting to 40 mph or greater across eastern ND and
west central MN this afternoon, and with a bit more mixing to be
had they could ramp up a bit more during the next few hours.
Some spots seeing some patchy blowing dust so included a mention
in the grids. Probabilities of wind gusts over 40 mph stay
above 50 percent through 00Z, then the winds should drop off.
Tomorrow will be fairly quiet as even with good mixing up to
700mb again the upper level winds are fairly week. While not
much cold air advection, plenty of mixing up past 800mb should
help bring 45 kts plus down to the surface. Similar mixing and
even higher winds aloft could bring the over 50 kts aloft down
to the surface at times. There is some 50 percent probability of
winds over high wind criteria Friday afternoon, but it is in the
NBM's usual high bias spot in the central RRV. Could see warning
criteria but given current headlines and Friday still pretty
far away will hold off on any watches for now. Will just keep
wind advisory going for this evening and deal with winds day by
day.

...Fire weather concerns through the week...

RH values have fallen to 30 percent just east of the Red River,
and will continue to see humidity drop off in the next few hours
before starting to recover. See little reason to make changes to
the current Red Flag warning. Tomorrow the winds will be much
lower, but still could get some good mixing and RH values down
to the 20 to 30 percent range. Will have to watch out for any
SPS/HWO needed for near critical messaging. Winds return out of
the south Thursday, but dew points will also be rising, so at
this point it seems afternoon RH values will stay around 30 to
40 percent. Winds shifting to the west behind the trough axis on
Friday will bring drier RHs and strong winds back, so will
monitor for future fire headlines.

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z THURSDAY/...
Issued at 1240 PM CDT Wed May 13 2026

VFR conditions with mostly clear skies this afternoon. Some mid
and high clouds moving in later in the period, but should still
be VFR. Winds will be the main issue, as light and variable
shifts around to the southeast and begins to pick up this
evening. By late tonight or tomorrow morning, southeast winds at
20 to 30 kts sustained with gusts to 40 kts will be widespread.
Winds are even higher right off the deck at 50 to 55 kts, so
some low level wind shear is expected for a period tomorrow
morning.
