.UPDATE...
Issued at 1024 PM CDT Fri Sep 20 2024

Showers remain sparse in the Devils Lake basin with a few
lightning strike now noted near Minot via NLDN. Still holding
onto the thought that things remain isolated with limited
impacts. Winds increase through the night with noticeable
increases by sunrise.

UPDATE
Issued at 626 PM CDT Fri Sep 20 2024

Shower activity has materialized between Minot and Devils Lake
with these expected to translate east in the coming hours thus
have added scattered shower mention through 02z with further
changes being made as seen fit based on trends. Minimal
accumulations expected with any passing rain but maybe enough to
settle dusty roads and fields should rain reach the ground.

...Synopsis...

As the surface high translates east overnight tonight, a
shortwave/cold front will begin to push through the area after
midnight. Showers, and possibly a few thunderstorms, may cause
some minor impacts, however given very limited instability
impacts will be limited. Once showers exit as the front passes
through Saturday morning, winds will increase from the west.
Mixing potential is solid but winds aloft aren`t particularly
strong (850 winds around 40-50 knots at best), so wind advisory
potential appears fairly low at this time (20% chance). Having
said that, gusts to 40 mph can at least be expected tomorrow.

The remainder of the period will feature low probabilities for
hazardous weather as the upper flow pattern keeps the majority
of deeper moisture tagged to the Gulf. Heights based on
ensembles are pretty stable so expect at least some recovery
after cooler temperatures tomorrow but mostly seasonal
temperatures through at least Wednesday.
