.UPDATE...
Issued at 644 AM CST Mon Nov 10 2025

West edge of low clouds are now obscured by high clouds. These
high clouds will spread over all of the area this morning and it
will make it tough to tell the clearing of the low clouds today.
Hopeful clearing that is. Will keep areas of fog as still some
fog from Langdon to Cooperstown to Valley City.

...Synopsis...

Welcome to November, where low clouds will linger longer than
models suggest. High pressure center is moving into western MN
early this morning with surface winds turning light southerly in
E ND with a NW light wind in MN. Flow at the sfc-850 mb layer
where moisture is should turn increasing southerly today and
reach 25-30 kts midday and aftn at 925 mb and more southwest at
40 kts at 850 mb. This should help push the lower clouds that
cover all but the far western fcst area gradually out as winds
drier airmass at 850 mb should mix more toward the surface. But
we shall see, and have seen where low clouds hold in these
situations. Also will have significant increase in 300 mb
moisture in warm advection cirrus moving through today. So
regardless mostly cloudy sky. Temps will be a bit warmer today,
especially west of the valley where warmer air will begin to
reach the suface. Most areas into the low-mid 30s today with
near 40 possible Devils Lake. Also this early morning areas of
fog is forming in more areas along the low cloud, clear
interface roughly from Jamestown area north thru Devils Lake,
Lakota, to Langdon. So did expand fog mention a bit to include
most of the west fcst area.


500 mb short will move southeast well to our northeast tonight
into Tuesday with south winds becoming more northwest on
Tuesday. Cold advection is limited so NW wind shift and
hopefully no low clouds should help boost temps up a bit more
over today.

500 mb ridge builds east over the area Thursday-Friday period
with warmer temps, peaking on Friday with 50s in most areas.

500 mb pattern via ensembles from 00z runs indicate good
agreement in pattern becoming more southwest flow this weekend
and peristing into the following week. Though at this time 500 m
mb waves in this southwest flow appear progressive, this will
increase chances of precipitdation heading into the weekend.
Temps favor rain and at this time amounts dont look significant.

Issued at 644 AM CST Mon Nov 10 2025

Tough forecast today in regards to clearing of low clouds today
into the evening. Getting that time of the year where there
is much uncertainity in clearing trend of low level moisture.
Making it hard to tell on satellite is the fact that high clouds
will be over the low clouds. South winds to increase and this
aftn be 15-25 kts with some higher gusts in the RRV and E ND.
