..SYNOPSIS
STRONG SUBSIDENCE AND SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL MAINTAIN DRY
CONDITIONS THROUGH LATE WEEK. THIS WILL PROMOTE EFFICIENT
RADIATIONAL COOLING IN A COOL AIR MASS IN THE HEART OF THE
SURFACE HIGH THAT WILL MIGRATE INTO CENTRAL MINNESOTA BY
WEDNESDAY MORNING. THIS WILL DRIVE FREEZING TEMPERATURES INTO
THE UPPER 20S FOR LOCATIONS MAINLY EAST OF THE RED RIVER VALLEY.
VERY DRY AIR AND INCREASING SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL BRING
POTENTIAL FOR NEAR CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS FOR
MINNESOTA LOCATIONS EAST OF HIGHWAY 59 CORRIDOR WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON. SHOULD WINDS LOOK TO EXCEED 15 MPH, NEAR CRITICAL
FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL ENSUE.
INTO LATE THIS WEEK, WARMING TREND IS STILL ON TRACK AS UPPER
RIDGING BUILDS INTO THE CENTRAL CONUS INTO SOUTH-CENTRAL CAN,
WITH A BRIEF HALT IN WARMING AROUND FRIDAY AS A WEAK COLD FRONT
MOVES THROUGH. WITH UPPER RIDGING BUILDING THIS WEEKEND,
SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT IS PROGGED BY LATE WEEKEND. THIS WILL
PROMOTE INCREASED MOISTURE INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS, AND BRING
OUR NEXT CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION. AT THIS TIME, THERE ARE NO
SIGNALS FOR IMPACTFUL WEATHER FROM THIS CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION.
AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z THURSDAY/
