Unseasonably warm weather will exist across the Northern and Central Plains.

Southwesterly flow will help to bring in temperatures well above average, even breaking records in some cities. 

Places like Bismarck, North Dakota, and Rapid City, South Dakota, will be more than 20 degrees above what they should be for this time of year. 


The above-average temperatures will continue Sunday across the same region. Highs in the Central Plains will be in the 70s and near 80s to end the weekend.
