Scattered severe thunderstorms are forecast across central and eastern North Dakota, as well as far northwest Minnesota Saturday (Slight Risk level 2 of 5). Damaging wind gusts are the primary threat. Elevated to critical fire weather conditions will persist through the weekend across the Western U.S. Isolated dry thunderstorms could lead to new fire starts over portions of the northern Rockies.

.AVIATION... 06Z TAFS: Dry northwest flow aloft will keep conditions VFR through the period with light and diurnally/terrain driven winds. Smoke from local and regional wildfires wildfires may result in intermittent visibility reductions to 6SM. The exception will be for KLWS where nearby fires (River and Gwen) to the east will result in reductions to 4SM or less, bouncing between MVFR and IFR conditions. Northwest winds in the afternoon may slightly improve conditions but confidence is low. FORECAST CONFIDENCE AND/OR ALTERNATE SCENARIOS: There is low confidence on how smoke will impact visibility across the Inland Northwest. ----------------------- Confidence descriptors: Low - Less than a 30 percent chance Moderate - 30 to 70 percent chance High - Greater than a 70 percent chance For additional probabilistic information for NWS Spokane airports, please refer to the Aviation Dashboard on our webpage: https:/www.weather.gov/otx/avndashboard &&
