Thursday will challenge daily record-high temperatures! [Video]

OVERNIGHT – THURSDAY: A low-pressure system in southern Manitoba, combined with an upper-level ridge in the northern plains, lifted warm air into our region, leading to highs in the upper-70s. And while wildfire smoke did lead to hazy skies at times, other times, we saw sunny skies. Overnight, skies will stay mostly clear, with only a few clouds. Winds will be light, and by Thursday morning, temperatures will be in the upper-40s to low-50s, warmer than the past few mornings. As the Canadian low continues moving east, strong south-southwesterly winds, gusting up to 30 mph at times. As a result, while cloud cover will push in and lead to mostly cloudy skies at times, temperatures will still reach the low-to-mid-80s across our region. For context, the daily record high for both Fargo and Grand Forks (on October 10) is 86 degrees. Overall, Thursday will feel like summertime.

FRIDAY – SUNDAY:We cool down quite a bit …
