Well above normal to near record warmth is expected through Saturday thanks to high pressure off the southeast coast. Any showers and thunderstorms will likely remain sparse through Saturday, although an upper level disturbance will bring a slightly greater chance on Friday. A cold front arriving Saturday night into Sunday could bring the next opportunity for greater rain coverage, along with a sharp cool down for early next week. $$  867 AWUS83 KBIS 160448 RWSBIS NDZ001>005-009>013-017>023-025-031>037-040>048-050-051-161300- Regional Weather Forecast National Weather Service Bismarck ND 1148 PM CDT Wed Apr 15 2026 /1048 PM MDT Wed Apr 15 2026/ It will be dry and mild tonight across all but the far northern portions of the Northern Plains, with overnight lows in the 30s and 40s.
