Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Western and Central North Dakota
National Weather Service Bismarck ND
230 PM CDT Thu Jul 30 2026
.DISCUSSION...
Near critical to critical fire weather conditions will be
possible Sunday and Monday.
Showers and thunderstorms are expected across much of southwestern
and central North Dakota this afternoon through this evening. A
few stronger to marginally severe storms will be possible. Heavy
rainfall along with gusty and erratic winds are expected when and
where thunderstorms develop. Highs are generally in the 80s this
afternoon, with minimum relative humidity dropping as low as 45
percent over portions of the far southwest, though is generally in
the 50 to 70 percent range elsewhere. Overnight recovery is
expected to be only as low as 90 percent over portions of the
west.
Hot and dry weather is then generally expected through the
weekend. Highs by Saturday and Sunday are expected to rise in the
90s and the 100s, with Sunday expected to be the warmest day in t
the short terms. With warming temperatures, minimum relative
humidity across much of western North Dakota is expected to drop
as low as 15 to 20 percent over the weekend. Breezy south winds
are expected Saturday afternoon, though generally below criteria
in the 10 to 15 MPH range. The passage of a weak cold front
Saturday evening through Sunday will help strengthen winds across
central North Dakota into the 20 to 15 MPH range, though this is
displaced from the lowest RHs further west. Winds across western
North Dakota are expected to fall into the 15 to 20 MPH range.
Even considering the marginally winds, with such low RHs across
the west, near critical fire weather conditions will be possible
on Sunday.
Slightly cooler weather is then expected through early next week.
A second, stronger cold front passing through the northern Plains.
With highs forecast in the 70s and 80s on Monday, minimum relative
humidity is expected to drop as low as 20 to 25 percent over
portions of the far southwest. The passage of the front will also
reorganize winds out of the north northwest early Monday through
Monday afternoon, with speeds around 20 to 25 MPH and gusts up to
40 MPH. With the overlap of the strongest winds and the lowest RHs
found across the southwest, near critical to critical fire
weather conditions are possible again on Monday.
