Here is the outlook for Precipitation for the same frame. Notice Minot, ND (northern ND) is in the bullseye for greatest likely hoold for below normal temperatures (previous map) and above normal precipitation, and that only means one thing...Expecty drier than normal conditions in the southern states, including prolonged drought for the Lone Star State
