NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BISMARCK ND
312 AM CDT THU MAY 14 2026
...RED FLAG WARNING TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY FOR ALL OF WESTERN
THROUGH CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA, INCLUDING THE JAMES RIVER VALLEY...
DISCUSSION
DRY AND VERY WINDY CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH FRIDAY. FOR
THIS MORNING, A PASSING COLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY FROM WEST TO EAST
WILL RESULT IN WINDS SHIFTING FROM A SOUTHEASTERLY COMPONENT TO A
WESTERLY COMPONENT. WHILE RADAR ECHOES AHEAD OF THE FRONT ARE
PRETTY WIDESPREAD OVER WESTERN INTO CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA EARLY
THIS MORNING, THE LOWER LEVELS ARE SO DRY THAT NO MORE THAN A FEW
SPRINKLES OR BRIEF LIGHT RAIN HAVE BEEN OBSERVED SO FAR. THAT IS
UNLIKELY TO CHANGE. ONE THING TO NOTE, HOWEVER, IS THAT THERE HAVE
BEEN OCCASIONAL DRY LIGHTNING STRIKES OBSERVED.
WHILE THERE MAY BE SOMEWHAT OF A DROP IN WINDS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN
HALF OF THE STATE OVERNIGHT TONIGHT, THEY WILL PICK RIGHT BACK UP
FRIDAY. CONSIDERING RELATIVE HUMIDITY RECOVERIES ARE AROUND ONLY
40 TO 50 PERCENT, WILL CONTINUE THE RED FLAG WARNING FOR ALL OF
WESTERN THROUGH CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA, INCLUDING THE JAMES RIVER
VALLEY, THROUGH FRIDAY. WINDS SHOULD THEN DIMINISH RAPIDLY FRIDAY
EVENING AND OVERNIGHT, THOUGH LIKELY MAINTAIN A WESTERLY
COMPONENT.
WINDS SATURDAY SHOULD BE LIGHT, BUT WILL TRANSITION FROM A
WESTERLY TO EASTERLY DIRECTION AS THE NEXT SYSTEM APPROACHES.
WINDS ARE FORECAST TO BECOME WINDY AGAIN SATURDAY NIGHT AND
SUNDAY. HOWEVER, THE PROBABILITY FOR WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION
KEEPS INCREASING. AT THIS POINT, FOR SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY, ALMOST
EVERY PART OF THE STATE HAS AT LEAST ONE SIX HOUR PERIOD WITH A
60 TO 80 PERCENT CHANCE OF A WETTING RAIN. EVERY PART OF THE STATE
HAS MULTIPLE SIX HOUR PERIODS OF AT LEAST A 40 PERCENT CHANCE OF
A WETTING RAIN.
