AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EASTERN ND/GRAND FORKS ND
1000 AM CDT SUN MAY 7 2006

.DISCUSSION...MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGES ARE TEMPERATURES AND WINDS.
WHEN LOOKING AT THE LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS...AN AREA OF LOW
PRESSURE IS CENTERED IN N SASK WITH A COLD FRONT EXTENDING
THROUGH W MB INTO W ND BETWEEN ISN AND MOT AND W OF DIK. KMBX RADAR
SHOW SOME SHOWER ACTIVITY ALONG AND W OF THE COLD FRONT. WHEN
LOOKING AT THE MODELS...MODELS STILL HAVE TIMING DIFFERENCES FOR THE
ARRIVAL OF THE COLD FRONT...BUT FOR THE EARLY PART OF TODAY...THEY
ARE PRETTY SIMILAR WITH INCREASING S WINDS AND A NICE TEMPERATURE
RISE. SINCE OUR CURRENT FORECAST DID NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE
EXPECTED GUSTINESS OF THE WIND...AND CURRENT OBSERVATIONS ALREADY
SHOW GUSTS...WILL UPDATE WIND FORECAST. ALSO...TEMPERATURES ARE
RISING ON THE MN SIDE OF AREA A LITTLE FASTER THAN PRIORLY
EXPECTED...SO WILL FIX THE TEMPERATURE CURVE AS WELL. OTHERWISE...
THE REST OF TODAYS FORECAST IS IN GOOD SHAPE...WITH NO OTHER
CHANGES NEEDED.
