Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Western and Central North Dakota
National Weather Service Bismarck ND
513 AM CDT Sat Jul 18 2026

.DISCUSSION...

Today will be slightly warmer than yesterday, with minimum
humidity around 25 to 35 percent, lowest from southwest to south
central North Dakota. Southeast winds could increase to around 15
to 20 mph throughout western North Dakota this afternoon, with
lighter winds to the east. Hot conditions return on Sunday, with
high temperatures near 100 and minimum humidity around 20 to 30
percent south and west of the Missouri River. Winds speeds will be
lighter there on Sunday, but there is likely to be a wind shift
from southerly to northwesterly during the day. Southerly winds
could be stronger east of the river on Sunday, but humidity should
be much higher there. Isolated to scattered severe thunderstorms
could develop across much of the state Sunday afternoon and
evening.

Critical fire weather conditions are possible across parts of
southwest and south central North Dakota on Monday. A cold front
will move down from Canada during the day, bringing much stronger
northwest winds around 20 to 30 mph with gusts to around 35 to 45
mph. The cold front will not reach southern North Dakota early
enough in the day to prevent afternoon temperatures from reaching
the upper 80s to mid 90s. Minimum humidity is forecast to fall to
around 20 to 30 percent across southwest and south central North
Dakota Monday afternoon, lowest along the Highway 12 corridor. The
highest probabilities for critical fire weather conditions are
south of Interstate 94 and west of Highway 83.

Cooler temperatures and lighter winds are expected for Tuesday.
Temperatures could warm back up through the rest of next week, but
strong winds are not anticipated after Monday. Daily minimum
humidity after Monday is forecast around 25 to 35 percent for most
areas, lowest in the southwest. Chances for a wetting rain remain
very low through next week.
