Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Western and Central North Dakota
National Weather Service Bismarck ND
347 PM CDT Tue Apr 14 2026
.DISCUSSION...
Low clouds have dissipated over western ND and temperatures have
recovers into the lower 60s. By late afternoon look for highs in
the mid to upper 60s southwest with west winds around 10 to 15
mph and a few locally higher gusts. Minimum afternoon humidities
here will be around 30 to 35 percent. The rest of western and
central ND will see more clouds and higher humidities this
afternoon.
Wednesday will bring widespread high temperatures in the mid 60s
to mid 60s over most of western and central ND. The warm
temperatures will result in widespread humidities of 30 percent or
lower. Areas south and west of the Missouri River will see the
lowest humidities (upper teens to mid and upper 20s) areas north
and east of the Missouri River will see humidity values in the
upper 20s to mid 30s. The lightest winds are forecast to be over
southwest ND Wednesday afternoon, with breezy conditions in the
northwest and portions of central ND. Will monitor for the
possibility of lower humidities and higher winds than currently
forecast. However if the current forecast holds, near critical
conditions are not anticipated.
Thursday will bring a wide range of temperatures, from cold highs
in the 40s far north to very mild highs in the mid 70s far south
central and into the southern James River Valley. Lowest
humidities Thursday afternoon will be in this area and will range
from 20 to 30 percent. South winds will increase to 20 to 25 mph
over this area in the morning, then shift northwest in the
afternoon. Will need to monitor this are for the potential for
increased fire weather concerns Thursday afternoon. The remainder
of western and central ND will see cooler temperatures and winds
not as strong Thursday afternoon.
Much colder temperatures Thursday night through Saturday with a
chance of rain and snow Thursday night and Friday will keep fire
weather concerns low.
