..SYNOPSIS
THE UPPER FLOW PATTERN WILL BECOME MORE AMPLIFIED TODAY THROUGH
EARLY NEXT WEEK, ALLOWING COLDER AIR TO FILL INTO THE NORTHERN
PLAINS AND UPPER MIDWEST. NORTHWEST FLOW TODAY GIVES WAY TO A BRIEF
PERIOD OF ZONAL FLOW ON THURSDAY AHEAD OF OUR NEXT SYSTEM. AN H5 LOW
IS EXPECTED TO DRIFT SOUTHWARD, OUT OF THE HUDSON BAY REGION, THIS
WEEKEND, BRINGING NORTHERLY UPPER FLOW INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS
REGION. AHEAD OF THE LEADING TROUGH, LIGHT SNOW IS POSSIBLE ALONG
THE BAROCLINIC ZONE, WHICH WILL LIKELY STRETCH FROM NORTH TO SOUTH
IN CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA. ENSEMBLES ARE NOW CONVERGING ON MORE
CONSISTENT SOLUTIONS, AFTER SEVERAL RUNS SHOWING A WESTWARD SHIFT.
AT THE CURRENT TIME, THERE IS ROUGHLY A 40 PERCENT CHANCE FOR 0.5
INCH OF SNOW WEST OF THE RED RIVER VALLEY, WITH BETTER PROBABILITY
EVER FURTHER WEST. WIDESPREAD IMPACTS ARE NOT ANTICIPATED AT THIS
TIME. TEMPERATURES FALL SHARPLY FRIDAY NIGHT, WITH LOWS EXPECTED TO
FALL INTO THE MID TEENS TO LOW 20S. TEMPERATURES ON SATURDAY AND
