National Weather Service Bismarck ND
942 PM CDT Sat Apr 12 2025 .KEY MESSAGES... - Widespread medium to high chances (60-95%) for rain tonight through Sunday night, with precipitation chances decreasing through Monday. - Strong west-northwest winds around 30 to 35 mph with gusts up to 55 mph are expected in far southwest North Dakota late Sunday morning through Sunday evening. - Some snow may mix in with the rain Sunday night through Monday morning, with little to no impacts expected. - Dry conditions with temperatures trending warmer are forecast towards the middle of next week, followed by cooler temperatures and increasing chances for precipitation to end the week. && .UPDATE... Issued at 942 PM CDT Sat Apr 12 2025 Rain is beginning to increase in coverage and intensity along a mid level vorticity streak from the southwest corner of the state to near Bismarck. Some lightning activity has also been observed near Bowman County, though has yet to become fully established within state boundaries. Overall, the forecast for tonight into tomorrow remains in good shape. Radar trends are following the HRRR quite nicely, so the PoP forecast was trended in its direction UPDATE Issued at 732 PM CDT Sat Apr 12 2025 Current conditions and trends along with the most recently initialized high-resolution ensemble data were blended into the forecast for this update. One aspect of the precipitation forecast that is now more prominent is a lowering of probabilities associated with an expected dry slot moving from west to east across southern North Dakota during the day Sunday. We also increased our wind gust forecast for Sunday afternoon, with concern of approaching warning- criteria gusts (58 mph) in the far southwest. The RAP has been consistently projecting a +50 kt low level jet wrapping around the deepening low over North Dakota, with the jet cutting through the southwest corner of the state. The 18Z HRRR confirms this potential with simulated surface gusts around 50 to 55 kts. But there are still concerns about the strength of boundary layer mixing and what roles cloud cover and precipitation could play. Therefore, we are bumping up our wind gust forecast to as high as 55 mph for the Wind Advisory. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 343 PM CDT Sat Apr 12 2025 Quasi-zonal upper level flow continues across the Northern Plains with a wave passing over eastern Montana. Showers continue across the northwest this afternoon with an area of showers are moving into the southwest. Precipitation chances will increase this afternoon across the west and central as the wave approach the state. There is a low chance for thunderstorms in the southwest this afternoon as some instability creeps into the region. Severe weather is not likely in the southwest. The upper level low will move across the state tomorrow continuing widespread precipitation across the region. There is around around a 70 percent chance for 0.5 inch in the south central and around a 50 percent chance for 1 inch of rain in the northwest through Monday. There may be some snow mixed in the backside of this system, but accumulations remain low. Another system will trail this system bringing a chance of rain to the state Monday as cyclonic flow aloft lingers from the passage of the upper low. These two system will likely blend together Sunday night into Monday morning. Temperatures Sunday are forecast to cool off in the upper 40s northwest to the lower 60s southeast. Monday temperatures are forecast to sit in the 40s to lower 50s. Strong northwest winds are forecast to pick up Sunday across the southwest. There is a 40 to 45 kts 850 mbs winds that are forecast to mixed down to the surface across the southwest and portions of the south central. A tight pressure gradient from the surface low will help sustain advisory level winds across the southwest. Cloud cover could inhibit some mixing tomorrow afternoon limiting gusts but sustains winds should not be impacted as much. Therefore, a Wind Advisory has been issued for southwest and portions of south central North Dakota late tomorrow morning into the early evening hours. Monday another round of a windy conditions is possible as a northwest to southeast orientated pressure gradient could lead to advisory level winds in the James River Valley. Temperatures will begin trend warmer by the middle of the week back into the 60s with a slight chance of rain. However, cooler temperatures will follow this warm up as the upper level pattern begins to become more active by the end of the week. Precipitation chances will also return by the end of next as another system is forecast to move through the Northern Plains. && .AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z MONDAY/... Issued at 942 PM CDT Sat Apr 12 2025 A low pressure system will bring periods of rain, MVFR to IFR ceilings, and shifting and strengthening winds across western and central North Dakota through the forecast period. Precipitation: Rain is expected to become widespread across western and central North Dakota this evening through tonight. There will likely be a break in the rain for southwest (morning) and south central (afternoon) North Dakota on Sunday, with showers continuing across the north throughout much of the day. A few thunderstorms are possible in southwest North Dakota later this evening. There is also a low chance of snow mixing with rain in western parts of the state on Sunday. Ceilings: MVFR to IFR ceilings will spread across the state from west to east later tonight, persisting across the north through the day Sunday where probabilities for IFR are highest. Southwest and south central North Dakota could experience a break in the low clouds from west to east Sunday morning and afternoon. Winds: Most areas will see east-northeast winds around 10 kts this evening. A low pressure center moving through the state tonight and Sunday will cause varying wind directions. The strongest winds on Sunday are expected in southwest North Dakota, with west-northwest winds around 20 to 30 kts gusting to around 35 to near 50 kts. && .BIS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

National Weather Service Charleston SC
1010 PM EDT Sat Apr 12 2025 .SYNOPSIS... High pressure will prevail into Monday, followed by a cold front Tuesday. High pressure will then return through the remainder of next week. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/... Closed mid-level trough sits along the New England/mid Atlantic coast and extends down to off the southeast coast. Nose of upper level jet axis and associated short-wave is diving through western North Carolina and will continue to dive down through the Carolinas over the next several hours. Meanwhile, some semblance of a surface boundary extends from northeast Georgia eastward across the Midlands with a sharp wind shift into the north behind the boundary. Decaying sea breeze is pressing inland and has managed to pop off a few showers this evening, particularly along Charleston County into the Atlantic. As mentioned above, upper level jet and associated mid-level short-wave will be diving down through the Carolinas over the next several hours. Despite loss of heating, there remains a fair amount of higher base cloud cover across the local forecast area, primarily the SC counties, and recent HRRR guidance continues to kick off isolated shower activity until this feature moves through. Low end pops have been added to the parts of the SC forecast area accordingly. Meanwhile, weak surface boundary is slated to drop down through the region during the overnight hours. There may be an associated temporary northerly wind and cool air surge as a result. Otherwise, cloud cover will eventually clear out during the overnight hours with lows dipping into the lower to middle 40s inland and lower to middle 50s along the coast and downtown Charleston. A couple of upper 30s not out of the question in the normally cold locations. && .SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/... High pressure will maintain quiet weather and warming temps Sunday through Tuesday. A cold front will sweep through Tuesday afternoon but a lack of moisture and forcing should prevent any precipitation with this feature. Gusty winds expected along the coast Monday and Tuesday during the day due to a robust sea breeze. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/... A brief cooldown expected midweek behind the cold front, then temps will moderate late week into the weekend as high pressure rebuilds over the western Atlantic. && .AVIATION /02Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... 13/00z TAF Discussion: KCHS/KJZI/KSAV: Sea breeze boundary along with an upper level short-wave advancing through the Carolinas this evening, could pop off a few showers. VCSH has been added to the KJZI forecast for now, and might be added to the KCHS forecast. Otherwise, SCT-BKN VFR cloud cover will thin out overnight with mainly clear skies thereafter. Extended Aviation Outlook: Prevailing VFR. && .MARINE... Tonight: Winds will steadily weaken over the waters this evening, settling north around 10 kt overnight as high pressure noses into the region. Seas will average 1-3 ft, highest over the Georgia offshore waters and the nearshore waters from South Santee River to Edisto Beach. Sunday through Thursday: The main concern in the extended will be the possibility of Small Craft Advisory conditions Monday into Tuesday for Charleston Harbor and the Charleston County nearshore waters. The southwest gradient will tighten up on Monday between Atlantic high pressure to the east and an approaching cold front to the west. We could see some 25 kt gusts during this period. && .CHS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... GA...None. SC...None. MARINE...None. && $$ NEAR TERM...Adam SHORT TERM... LONG TERM...

National Weather Service Twin Cities/Chanhassen MN
622 PM CDT Sat Apr 12 2025 .KEY MESSAGES... - Temperatures in the 60s and 70s today and tomorrow with breezy south winds diminishing this evening. - Scattered shower and thunderstorm chances Sunday, followed by lingering shower chances Monday with much cooler temperatures. - Another chance for precip arrives to end the week with temperatures in the 50s and 60s. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 201 PM CDT Sat Apr 12 2025 It`s a nice April day, with widespread 60s and some 70s in southwest Minnesota early this afternoon already. It is blustery though, with sustained wind speeds approaching 30 mph across portions of southern Minnesota. Temperatures and wind gusts will decrease around sunset this evening. A broad area of low pressure will develop east of the Rockies under a mid-level shortwave trough tonight. As this system moves through the Upper Midwest, a few periods of scattered showers and storms look increasingly likely. Increased moisture flow ahead of the low will advect PWAT values of 0.8+ inches as far north as central Minnesota and northern Wisconsin. Forcing along a somewhat stationary warm front Sunday should be enough for some scattered early morning showers. A few hundred Joules of MUCAPE ahead of the developing low could even be enough for some morning convection. PoPs have increased for this period, but still remain generally low (30-40%) due to limited areal coverage and spread among the latest CAMS still. Based on our conceptual model of this setup, we expect a scenario similar to what the 12.12z HRRR produces - isolated showers forming over central/western Minnesota, increasing in coverage as they progress east towards western Wisconsin. As the surface low continues northeastward, another period of showers and storms are expected Sunday afternoon/evening as the cold front sweeps through Minnesota and western Wisconsin. Drier air may limit QPF amounts west of I-35 for this period, with western Wisconsin having the best chance of seeing a couple tenths of precip. We should dry out overnight Sunday, until some wrap around forcing wrings out any moisture that`s left over Monday. These scattered showers should mostly fall as rain, but strong CAA (winds gusting up to ~35 to 40 mph) behind the front could cool down some areas enough for a few rogue flakes to fly later in the day. It`s a busy forecast, yet in the end QPF really is quite limited outside of a few tenths across western Wisconsin which has the best chance of seeing more persistent/widespread showers and storms. Following a quick 20 degree cooldown Monday, highs will gradually rise through Thursday until another round of showers and storms impact the region again. Timing may be key for storm development, with current ensembles favoring convection forming just west of us and then weakening overnight Thursday to more of a shower setup. QPF looks to be more than our weekend system, but not by a lot. The end of April continues to look active, which may be the help we need to accelerate greening up across the region. && .AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SUNDAY/... Issued at 622 PM CDT Sat Apr 12 2025 Gusty south to southeast winds will calm this evening into tonight. Winds will not become calm, but the gusts will diminish. As a low moves through on Sunday, winds will shift to the west and then to the northwest. With all these shifting winds there will be a period of LLWS tonight. As this shift moves through there will be a chance for rain showers and thunderstorms (better thunderstorm chance for MSP, RNH, MKT, and EAU). Overall VFR expected for the majority of the period. Reductions into MVFR and IFR associated with the rain as it moves through. This will be mainly a ceiling drop, but in thunderstorms it would also be a visibility drop. Timings vary for rain and storm timing, so check individual TAFs for timing details. Kept PROB30 for now as the best chances remain to the north for precipitation. KMSP...A period of LLWS is expected tonight with the shift in surface winds coming later in the day on Sunday in the late afternoon to evening.

National Weather Service Marquette MI
1128 PM EDT Sat Apr 12 2025 .KEY MESSAGES... - Rain overspreads the UP Sunday into Monday. - Rain changes over to snow late Monday into Tuesday. Accumulating wet snow could cause some travel impacts for the Tuesday morning commute. - Wind gusts to 30 mph are expected Monday, with the west half seeing 50+% chances of 40 mph gusts over the east half Tuesday. && .SHORT TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... Issued at 253 PM EDT Sat Apr 12 2025 Afternoon RAP analysis have midlevel ridge axis directed over the Plains, supporting surface high pressure from the Great Lakes southward through the lower Mississippi valley. On the perimeter of the ridge is a shortwave currently moving through far northern Ontario. Some associated mid/upper level cloud cover is moving across Lake Superior and the western half of the UP, and some sites in the Arrowhead are ticking off some light rain at times. Otherwise, with plenty of sunshine this afternoon across our area, temperatures are rising through the 50s and may even crack the 60 degree mark in the interior-western UP. The exception remains the eastern UP, where southerly flow off of Lake Michigan is limiting temperatures to the mid 40s, especially closer to the shoreline. Tonight, as the shortwave continues its eastward trek, chances for rain showers finally spread into the UP. CAMs are characteristically generous with the coverage of showers, but model soundings show plenty of dry lower-level air the first half of the night. Even if lower levels can moisten up, midlevels look to briefly dry out again the second half of the night before the next system ejects out of the Rockies Sunday. So, it remains to see whether that dry air will win out. If anything can fall tonight, soundings are warm enough for rain even as surface temperatures fall back into the upper 30s to lower 40s. Expect totals to be quite light. && .LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... Issued at 404 PM EDT Sat Apr 12 2025 By 12Z Sunday, chances of rain will be spread across the UP as ridging over the Upper Midwest is eroded by a shortwave traversing far-northern Ontario and a shortwave approaching the Upper Midwest from Montana. The latter shortwave will provide the most impactful weather of the long-term forecast as it acquires a negative tilt and begins phasing with another shortwave behind it by Monday morning. Some lake enhancement in the wake of the system and cool air from the cold sector of the system will allow for snowfall to impact the UP Monday PM into Tuesday. Ridging aloft then brings quiet weather to the midweek before chances for disturbed weather return to the forecast leading into the weekend, though spread is high at this time. Beginning Sunday, light rain showers will primarily be over the western UP, though chances of accumulations over 0.05" between 12Z and 18Z Sunday are only 10-30%, so impacts will be low. With ~1000mb low pressure approaching the UP in the late evening hours, chances of rain ramp up significantly, and the NAMNest does suggest some thunderstorm potential, but the NBM keeps it limited to the south- central and along the state line. Meager instability will limit the potential impacts of such a theoretical storm, with the HREF struggling to produce 100 J/kg of CAPE anywhere in the UP. Moving into Monday, the cold advection in the cold sector of the system in addition to rapid pressure falls/rises as the low tracks over Lake Superior (up to 9 mb/6 hr by Tuesday 00Z) will lead to some gusty conditions. Euro probabilities to 40mph are widespread 40- 70% by 00Z Tuesday and above 90% for the east half by 18Z Tuesday. With other model suites suggesting values much lower than that, will elect to go with around 30 mph gusts Monday and near 40 mph gusts for the east Tuesday. Once the hi-res guidance captures the gusty conditions better, some consideration may need to be taken in regards to a potential Wind Advisory. The other weather impact from this system will be the lake enhanced snow on the back end. With surface temperatures cooling to near freezing Monday evening and sub-freezing Monday night, precipitation will change from rain to a wet snow, boosted by 850 mb temperatures falling to around -8 C over a Lake Superior that is around 2-3 C. Euro EFI is elevated for this system but the shift-of-tails is low, meaning that impactful conditions are expected (a "high floor"), but extreme solutions are not (a "low ceiling"). Assuming a 10:1 ratio (which will be too high early Monday but too low Tuesday, so roughly balances out), Euro probabilities of 6 inches of snow are around 30% for the highlands of Marquette and Baraga counties and the high terrain of Ontonagon and Gogebic counties. Factoring in a changing snow ratio leads to a forecast of near 4 inches of snow for the Baraga/Marquette highlands and isolated amounts up to 3-4 inches in the Ironwood vicinity, with around 1-3 inches expected widespread for all counties along Lake Superior plus Iron County. A Winter Weather Advisory for the two regions of higher snowfall would seem appropriate, but as ensembles coalesce around the regions of best forcing and the thermal fields available, headline decisions could go either way, though a floor of at least some accumulating sloppy snow impacting the Tuesday morning commute is pretty safe. Chances and coverage of snowfall then gradually wane Tuesday as synoptic support fades and temperatures aloft are not supportive enough for pure lake effect snow. A quiet Wednesday is then expected as ridging aloft pushes over the region bringing high pressure over the region. Looking upstream, a shortwave crossing the Rockies from the northwest will begin to brew another lee surface low, but spread in the global deterministic guidance as well as intra-ensemble spread is still fairly high for this time range, resulting in surface lows passing through the Upper Great Lakes anywhere from late Thursday night to well into the weekend. This time of year, rain will be preferred, but there is enough spread in the temperature guidance to support at least some snow chances mixing in at times, though impactful snowfall is not expected at this time and chances of accumulating freezing rain is 20% or less through the 21st. When precipitation is not expected to occur, some attention to the fire weather forecast should be taken as the NBM (which is notorious for not catching events of RH dropping out in fair weather in the spring in the UP) is already calling for RHs to fall to near 30% Wednesday. && .AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z MONDAY/... Issued at 1128 PM EDT Sat Apr 12 2025 Mainly VFR conditions with periods of MVFR in any rain showers early this morning at IWD and CMX, which have been highlighted with PROB30 groups. By early afternoon, though, MVFR will become the predominant flight category as rain intensifies and becomes more widespread as a shortwave continues its progression across northern Ontario. Meanwhile, southwesterly winds will back to the southeast but remain sustained at 5 to 10 kts. Also, began trending toward IFR at SAW late in the period, but confidence remains too low at this time to include mention at all TAF sites. && .MARINE... Issued at 404 PM EDT Sat Apr 12 2025 Besides a few gusts to 20 kt out of the south over the eastern half of Lake Superior tonight, wind gusts will be sub-20 kt through Sunday night. Monday morning, in response to a low pressure passing over the lake, wind gusts ramp up to around 25 kt, with winds out of the west and northwest over the western half of the lake and winds out of the southeast over the east half of the lake, particularly along the International Border. By Monday evening, with the low moving into Ontario, northwest winds ramp up to gales to 45 kt, particularly in a band from Thunder Bay arcing by the Keweenaw to Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. Probabilities of storm force gusts to 50 kt are around 20% by Tuesday morning. With high pressure approaching, winds fall below gales Tuesday night and below 20 kt in the west Wednesday morning and lakewide by Wednesday afternoon. Because the duration of strong northwesterlies will be long, waves build to 14-16 ft over much of the east half of the Lake by Tuesday morning. Waves fall below 4 ft by Wednesday evening. High pressure will keep winds below 20 kt for Wednesday night into Thursday, but uncertainty in the timing of the next low pressure system to pass through the region casts some unknowns on the strength of winds towards the end of the week. && .MQT WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

National Weather Service New York NY
728 PM EDT Sat Apr 12 2025 .SYNOPSIS... Low pressure south of Long Island tonight weakens and dissipates, while a secondary low develops east of New England. The low will then lift northeast on Sunday, followed by a weak ridge of high pressure building in from the west Sunday night. A frontal system will approach from the west Monday and impact the region Monday night and Tuesday, with a cold frontal passage expected late Monday night into early Tuesday morning. Another cold front will move through Tuesday night. High pressure passes to the south Wednesday and Thursday. Another frontal system may impact the region Friday and Saturday. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/... Forecast on track as areas of light rain and drizzle continue. The precipitation has become a little more scattered as drier air has moved into the area as the upper low moves southwest through Pennsylvania at 23Z. Expect occasional light rain and drizzle through the night as as the upper trough tracks slowly across the area. At the surface, low pressure dissipates to the south of LI tonight, with a secondary low developing east of New England. Weak low- level lift and moisture with dry mid levels should keep the rain fairly light. The 12Z HRRR indicated some steadier wraparound rain moving into the area briefly toward daybreak, but this scenario seems unlikely at this time with the surface low being the farthest west of the guidance. However, plan to still keep a chance of light rain and/or drizzle into the morning. Conditions then dry out from west to east with the rain ending by afternoon for most locations, but could linger across far eastern LI and SE CT. Overnight lows will drop into the mid and upper 30s with a very small diurnal change. Highs on Sunday then climb into the 50s, but still several degrees below normal with plenty of clouds to start along with a northerly flow. NBM and MOS were fairly close and generally accepted. && .SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT/... A weak high pressure ridge builds in from the west Sunday night with clear skies and diminishing NW flow. Lows Sunday night will range from the upper 30s to lower 40s, which is close to normal. Growing season has started across the southern half of the forecast area so will have to take a further look into the potential for a frost advisory tomorrow night. At this time, it looks too warm. && .LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... The forecast from Monday through Wednesday is fairly consistent with the previous forecast with the timing and spatial movement of a frontal system that impacts the region Monday night into Tuesday. Mainly used the NBM deterministic parameters, except blended in the 90th percentile for winds and gusts Tuesday and Wednesday in the wake of the two cold frontal passages, and the deterministic under does the winds and gusts. The upper flow continues to be progressive Monday into late in the week with the first upper trough affecting the area Monday and Tuesday, with the trough axis moving east of the region during Wednesday as heights slowly rise with cyclonic flow Wednesday into Wednesday night. Weak upper ridging passes through and flattens late Wednesday night through Thursday night as surface high pressure passes to the south. Another shortwave upper trough affects the area late Friday through Saturday. Once again used the NBM deterministic Thursday through Saturday, even for winds and gusts Saturday as timing of the cold front is uncertain at this time. && .AVIATION /00Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... Low pressure slowly tracks to the north this evening and overnight. Weak high pressure slowly builds in from the west late Sunday. MVFR and IFR continues to dominate the forecast this evening through Sunday morning. With low pressure nearby, there still remains some uncertainty with any fluctuation in flight categories. General improvements to MVFR everywhere is expected by 12z-15Z Sunday. VFR conditions don`t return until Sunday afternoon, mainly after 18z. The steadiest of the precipitation has moved out of the area and now we have just some leftover -DZ, will will be possible through the overnight period. Some rain may redevelop for eastern terminals late tonight into early Sunday morning. The main terminals impacted would be KGON and KISP. NNE to N winds 10-20 kt with some gusts to 20-25 kt, the highest winds along the coast. Any gusts should end around or shortly after midnight with a N wind around 10-15kt persisting. ...NY Metro (KEWR/KLGA/KJFK/KTEB) TAF Uncertainty... Timing of flight category changes very uncertain. Gusts may be occasional this evening. .OUTLOOK FOR 00Z MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY... Sunday night: VFR. Monday: VFR. Chance of showers late at night. Tuesday: VFR. Slight chance of showers. W wind gusts 20-25 kt. Wednesday: VFR. NW wind gusts around 25 kt. Thursday: VFR. Detailed information, including hourly TAF wind component forecasts, can be found at: https:/www.weather.gov/zny/n90 && .MARINE... SCAs are up on all waters but are expected to be dropped later this evening for the non-ocean waters. However, the ocean will take a bit longer for northerly gusts to fall below 25 kt and seas are not expected to drop below 5 ft until Sunday afternoon. Sub-advisory conditions are expected Monday through Monday night. Then in the wake of a cold frontal passage Monday night into Tuesday morning westerly winds may gust to around SCA levels across the forecast waters. And by late day Tuesday ocean seas builds to 5 to 6 feet. SCA gusts continues across the forecast waters Tuesday night, with elevated ocean seas. And in the wake of another cold front Tuesday night, gusty west to northwest winds will be at or just above SCA levels across the forecast waters Wednesday into Wednesday evening, and slowly diminish late Wednesday night as high pressure builds to the south. Also, ocean seas slowly subside below advisory levels Wednesday night. Conditions will be sub advisory across the forecast waters Thursday and Thursday night as high pressure passes to the south. && .HYDROLOGY...
