Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Western and Central North Dakota
National Weather Service Bismarck ND
240 PM CDT Fri Oct 4 2024

.DISCUSSION...

...RED FLAG WARNING FOR MOST OF WESTERN AND MUCH OF CENTRAL NORTH
DAKOTA SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY EVENING...

For the rest of this afternoon, we could still see a few hours
of near critical fire weather conditions across portions of the
southwest and south central. Highs here will range from the
lower 70s south central to the upper 70s southwest and minimum
afternoon relative humidity should generally range from 20 to 30
percent. Southerly winds have trended a bit lower than
previously forecast but we should see some periodic sustained
winds in the 15 to 25 mph range so we will continue messaging
near critical fire weather potential.

Looking ahead to tomorrow. A strong cold front will cross the
state tonight from northwest to southeast, shifting the winds to
out of the west northwest. Behind this front, winds will
increase Saturday morning and especially in the afternoon. We
should see widespread sustained winds in the 35 to 45 mph range
with gusts in the 55 to 65 mph range for much of the area. These
winds will be the driving force for critical fire weather
conditions across most of western and much of central North
Dakota mid to late Saturday morning through Saturday evening.
While highs will mainly be in the 60s and humidity will only
bottom out in the 20 to 30 percent range, winds should be plenty
strong enough to compensate. For these reasons, we went ahead
and issued a Red Flag Warning for most of western and central
North Dakota (11 AM CDT to 9 PM CDT). The only exceptions will
be across the far north and Devil`s Lake Basin, where humidity
should be higher and we could see some more cloud cover. That
being said, near critical fire weather conditions will be possible
here as the strongest winds should be across the north. Winds
will gradually diminish through Saturday evening and humidity will
recover into the 70 to 100 percent range overnight.

For Sunday, we will see afternoon humidity values dipping into the
20 to 25 percent range across the southwest but winds will be much
lighter (up to 10 mph or so) as high pressure moves in and highs
will be in the 60s. The forecast will remain pretty much dry
(maybe a slight chance of a shower far north on Saturday) through
next week with a warmup back into the 80s possible Tuesday
through Thursday.
