Our weather will be fairly mild to finish out the work week. I'm seeing a slight chance of showers moving across western and west-central North Dakota on Friday while the rest of the region stays dry.
A weak wave of showers passes into western North Dakota Friday afternoon and may move into the Red River Valley after dark. The eastern Dakotas, Minnesota, and Wisconsin stay dry to close out this work week.
Temperatures will be a touch warmer Saturday compared to Friday's forecast for most of the region. The only cooler spots will be over northern North Dakota and western North Dakota.
Winds will pick up some across Minnesota on Saturday. Southern Minnesota could get rather gusty, but it will be a warmer wind.
A few showers will be possible across North Dakota and into the northern Red River Valley on Saturday while the rest of the region stays dry. This wave of showers will move by mainly in the morning and lift northward throughout the afternoon hours.

Sunday will feature more wind for the Dakotas and Minnesota. Temperatures will still stay mild for most, but expect a breezy Sunday.
Rain will start to move into western North and South Dakota by the afternoon and evening hours of Sunday. Rain and snow will be possible just to our west. This next low pressure system will bring rain and snow to parts of the region to kick off the work week.
Ahead of this next system, our weather will warm up nicely. Highs look to reach into the upper 60s to even some lower 80s in portions of the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest Sunday.
Temperatures will vary widely northwest to southeast across North Dakota Sunday.
Northern Minnesota will still make it into the upper 60s to near 70° by Sunday afternoon with highs in central and southern Minnesota peaking in the mid-70s to even lower 80s.
