.DISCUSSION...
There remains a low chance for isolated to scattered showers and
thunderstorms this afternoon and evening. Initially these would
mostly be in southwestern to north central North Dakota before
pushing off to the east. Barring any thunderstorm activity, little
rainfall accumulation is expected. Beyond today, mostly dry
conditions are expected through Saturday before rain chances
return Saturday night through Sunday night.
For this afternoon, minimum relative humidity is expected to
remain around 35 to 45 percent for most of the area, though lower
values are expected along, south, and west of the Missouri River.
Breezy conditions are expected east of Highway 83 on Thursday,
though relative humidity should remain in excess of 40 percent
where breezy conditions develop. Light winds are then on tap for
Friday.
