ALTHOUGH FUELS OVER SOUTH CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA CONTINUE TO BE VERY DRY. .LONG TERM...MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT... GFS HAS GONE A BIT ANOMALOUS ALL OF A SUDDEN BY PUSHING A HUDSON BAY LOW DOWN OVER THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES NEXT MID WEEK. THIS WOULD COOL TEMPERATURES AND INCREASE CHANCES OF THUNDERSHOWERS.
