The latest Forecast from the KX News Dakota Storm Center.

Yesterday's rainfall has moved out of North Dakota allowing for a ridge of high pressure to build across much of the area. This will have temperatures cool for one more night, and clouds will be clearing, allowing for the atmosphere to warm up into the 80s for tomorrows high. The start of the work week will be hot, back in the 90s on Monday with sunny skies. Afterwards, another cool down is expected as a low pressure system comes through the area for the remainder of the week. Skies will be sunny to partly cloudy with low rain chances, but breezy conditions will occur on Wednesday when the low pressure is directly over North Dakota. The end of the week will result in another ridge building in the area. 

Tonight, skies become clear with few clouds overnight with temperatures in the upper 40's and a northeast wind shifting south at 1-8 mph.

Sunday, temperatures will start to warm up again in the lower to mid 80s with mainly sunny skies. Winds will be out of the south at 2-10 mph.

Sunday night, lows overnight will be closer to average in the mid 50s with clear skies and a south wind shifting southeast at 2-10 mph.

Monday, day time highs heat up to the lower 90s through the day with sunny skies and humid conditions. Winds are out of the south at 5-15 mph.

Monday night, lows on either side of 60 with a few clouds possible, otherwise mainly clear. Winds shift slightly to the southeast at 2-10mph.
