Grand Forks, ND – A significant temperature shift is expected across North Dakota this week, with near-record highs today, followed by much cooler temperatures by Friday and Saturday. According to the National Weather Service, widespread rain is anticipated to move in by Wednesday night, continuing into Friday, bringing a sharp drop in temperatures.
The upcoming weather change will see highs plummeting, with many areas experiencing temperatures in the 50s and 60s by the end of the week, down from today’s highs in the upper 80s to low 90s. Cities like Fargo, Grand Forks, and Devils Lake can expect temperatures to dip from 90°F on Monday to just 53°F by Friday. These cooler conditions will also be accompanied by widespread rain beginning Wednesday night, lasting through Friday morning.
Travelers should prepare for potential disruptions on the roads, especially in low-lying areas prone to flooding. While rain is expected to taper off by Friday, the cooler air will bring the risk of frost over the weekend, depending on cloud cover.
As temperatures dip, residents should take precautions, including protecting sensitive plants from potential frost and ensuring that heating systems are ready for the colder days ahead. Keep an eye on local forecasts for updates, as additional advisories may be issued later in the week.
