Upper level northwest flow will maintain an active weather pattern
across the region this week. This will allow for thunderstorms each
afternoon and evening, which will be focused near the North Dakota
border on Independence Day. Some of the storms may produce
wetting rains, but widespread wetting rains are not expected.
Temperatures will also trend near or slightly below normal over
the next few days.
