FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR WESTERN AND CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BISMARCK ND
400 AM CDT FRI MAY 1 2026
DISCUSSION
MOSTLY DRY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND INTO
EARLY NEXT WEEK ACROSS WESTERN AND CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA.
THIS AFTERNOON, HUMIDITIES WILL DROP INTO THE UPPER TEENS TO MID
20S OVER MOST OF WESTERN AND NORTH CENTRAL ND, AND JUST A BIT
HIGHER (MID 20S TO MID 30S) OVER THE SOUTH CENTRAL AND JAMES RIVER
VALLEY UP TO THE TURTLE MOUNTAINS. WITH SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE
OVER THE STATE TODAY, WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN LIGHT.
IT WILL BE BREEZY ON SATURDAY AND WITH THE DRY CONDITIONS WE
COULD SEE SOME NEAR CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS. CURRENTLY,
THE LOWEST HUMIDITIES ARE EXPECTED TO BE ACROSS THE SOUTH, WITH
SUSTAINED WINDS 10 TO 20 MPH ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. WITH THE
LOWER HUMIDITIES SOUTH, THIS WOULD BE THE FAVORED AREA FOR NEAR
CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS IF THE CURRENT FORECAST HOLDS.
SUNDAY WILL BRING ANOTHER MILD AND BREEZY DAY WITH NEAR CRITICAL
FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS POSSIBLE ONCE AGAIN. AS WE'RE GETTING A
LITTLE FARTHER OUT, WE WILL HAVE TO SEE HOW CONDITIONS CHANGE AS
WE GET CLOSER, BUT CURRENTLY THE STRONGEST WINDS AND LOWEST
HUMIDITIES ARE FORECAST OVER NORTHWEST NORTH DAKOTA.
ALTHOUGH IT WILL BE A BIT COOLER WITH HIGHER AFTERNOON HUMIDITIES
BEHIND A COLD FRONT MONDAY, WINDS MAY BE STRONG ENOUGH BEHIND THE
FRONT (SUSTAINED 20 TO 30 MPH) TO PRODUCE NEAR CRITICAL FIRE
WEATHER CONDITIONS. CURRENTLY, THE WEST CENTRAL TO SOUTH CENTRAL
PORTION OF THE STATE IS SEEING THE LOWEST FORECAST HUMIDITIES,
DOWN TO AROUND 30 PERCENT.
