Grand Forks, N.D. – Gusty winds and scattered sprinkles could make travel tricky across Grand Forks and East Grand Forks late Saturday before calmer skies return Sunday. Drivers along U.S. Highway 2 may see brief visibility reductions tonight as northwest winds gust up to 30 mph.
According to the National Weather Service in Grand Forks, showers are most likely after 7 p.m. Saturday with breezy conditions continuing into the night. Lows will dip into the upper 40s, with winds easing toward Sunday morning. The weather shift brings relief as mostly sunny skies and highs near 66 degrees take over Sunday.
Northwest breezes continue through Sunday, though lighter than Saturday’s gusts, with winds between 10 and 17 mph. Sunday night will cool quickly, bottoming out in the low 40s under clear skies. Sunshine dominates the start of the week, with Monday’s high reaching 69 degrees and overnight lows in the mid-40s.
By Tuesday, warmth returns with highs climbing into the mid-70s, followed by 80 degrees on Wednesday. Winds stay manageable, shifting southwest and south through midweek, which should make for ideal late-summer outdoor conditions.
Residents are urged to use caution while driving tonight, secure lightweight outdoor items, and prepare for cool overnight temperatures before the warmup arrives.
More updates could follow if additional showers develop Saturday night, but no major systems threaten the region in the next five days.
