Area forecast discussion, Jun 26, 12:46 PM CDT, 4 hours 53 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND FORKS ND 1246 PM CDT MON JUN 26 2006 .SHORT TERM... THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED ALONG SFC TROUGH/COLD FRONT AHEAD OF STRONG SHORTWAVE. MODELS HANDLING OVERALL EVOLUTION OF THUNDERSTORMS WELL...AND LIKE NAM DEPICTION OF MOISTURE/SHEAR PROFILES. FOR THE REST OF THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT...EXPECT SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS AND POTENTIAL FOR ORGANIZED SEVERE. STRONG SHORTWAVE NOTED ON WATER VAPOR WILL MOVE INTO FORECAST AREA LATER THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING. THIS COUPLED WITH ML CAPES TO 1200J/KG...30- 35KT OF 0-6KM SHEAR AND CONVERGENCE ALONG THE SFC BOUNDARY WILL BE ENOUGH TO INITIATE AND SUSTAIN THUNDERSTORMS. VERY STEEP LAPSE RATES AND LOW FREEZING LEVELS AROUND 10000FT WILL ALSO BE FAVORABLE FOR LARGE HAIL PRODUCTION. SOUNDINGS ALSO SHOW INVERTED TYPE V SIGNATURES...SO WIND GUSTS ARE ALSO POSSIBLE NEAR STRONGER CELLS. LCL/S WILL BE FAIRLY HIGH...SO EXPECT MAIN THREAT TO BE LARGE HAIL AND HIGH WINDS...ALTHOUGH CAN NEVER RULE OUT AN ISOLATED TORNADO. THUNDERSTORMS AND SEVERE POTENTIAL WILL DIMINISH AFTER SUNSET...ALTHOUGH SOME CONVECTION COULD PERSIST THROUGH THE NIGHT MAINLY IN SOUTHERN AREAS. FOR TUESDAY...THERE COULD BE SOME LINGERING SHOWERS IN FAR EASTERN AREAS WITH CYCLONIC FLOW HERE. ELSEWHERE...EXPECT A COOL DAY WITH COLD AIR ALOFT AND SOME AFTERNOON STRATOCUMULUS...WITH SUBSIDENCE INVERSION BUILDING IN ABOVE 750MB. FOR WED AND THU...EXPECT A SLOW WARMING TREND WITH DRY WEATHER AND TEMPS RISING ABOVE NORMAL. STRONG SUBSIDENCE AND A DRY COLUMN SHOULD MEAN PLENTY OF SUNSHINE...WITH SUMMER LIKE WEATHER TAKING HOLD OF THE NORTHERN PLAINS. LONG TERM...A DRY PATTERN IS ANTICIPATED DURING THE EXTENDED PERIOD. THE AXIS OF AN AMPLIFIED ROCKY MOUNTAIN RIDGE WILL SLOWLY PROPAGATE EASTWARD OVER TIME AND REACH THE NORTHERN PLAINS BY THE END OF THE WORK WEEK. THE GFS IS INCONSISTENT WITH A SHORT WAVE COMING OVER THE RIDGE BY THE START OF THE WEEKEND. THUS...WILL NOT INTRODUCE ANY PCPN UNTIL A TREND OF RUN TO RUN CONSISTENCY APPEARS. TEMPERATURES DURING THE PERIOD ARE EXPECTED TO BE NEAR NORMAL FOR EARLY JULY. && .FGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... ND...NONE. MN...NONE. && DK/BRAMER
