.DISCUSSION...

Low clouds and fog over the area will decrease through the
morning. A disturbance dropping through NE MT into the Dakotas
later this evening could bring a few thunderstorms to far
northeast and eastern areas. Thunderstorms could be strong to
severe, with strong winds and large hail. Temperatures trend
warmer with highs into the 80s today and Friday, but with
afternoon RH remaining elevated for most areas in the 30 to 50
percent range. Warmer and drier conditions move in for the weekend
with highs into the 90s, with afternoon RH down into the 20s.
Isolated mainly afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms
are possible Friday through the weekend, but wetting rain chances
will be low (20% or less) for most areas. Monday into the middle
of next week is trending cooler and more unsettled. Palmquist
