AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BISMARCK ND
310 AM CDT SAT AUG 30 2008

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT...

FORECAST CONCERNS FOCUS AROUND A RED FLAG WARNING TODAY FOR
PORTIONS OF WESTERN AND CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA...ANOTHER POTENTIAL
RED FLAG WARNING SUNDAY OVER EXTREME SOUTH CENTRAL NORTH
DAKOTA...AND A WIND ADVISORY OVER OUR SOUTHEAST FORECAST AREA
SUNDAY. THIS COMBINED WITH A MAJOR DOWNWARD SWING IN TEMPERATURES
BETWEEN NOW AND MONDAY AS A POTENT...BUT SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT
EVOLVES AND MOVES THROUGH.

FOR TODAY...WARM AIR ADVECTION WILL INTENSIFY GREATLY AS A
DEVELOPING LOW PRESSURE AND FRONTAL SYSTEM TAKES SHAPE NEAR/ALONG
THE THE MONTANA/NORTH DAKOTA BORDER. H85 TEMPS RISE TO AROUND +30C
IN THE WEST AND SOUTHWEST FOR A COUPLE 100 DEGREE HIGHS. H85 TEMPS
AROUND +26C IN KBIS WILL BE GOOD FOR MID AND UPPER 90S IN THE
ACROSS THE CENTRAL CWA. THUS RECORD OR NEAR RECORD HIGHS ACROSS
WESTERN AND CENTRAL CWA TODAY. FEEL DICKINSON HAS THE BEST CHANCE
OF BREAKING A RECORD TODAY WITH WILLISTON AND BISMARCK COMING VERY
CLOSE TO IT. SOUTH WINDS WILL INCREASE INTO THE 25 TO 35 MPH OVER
MOST OF THE FORECAST REGION THIS AFTERNOON.

BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE TONIGHT PRODUCING A WARM
OVERNIGHT MINIMUM TEMPERATURE ACROSS OUR CENTRAL AND EASTERN CWA.
A STRONG LOW LEVEL JET IS EVIDENT TONIGHT WITH H85 WINDS BETWEEN
50KT AND 55KT IN BOTH THE NAM AND GFS. THE DIFFERENCE IS THE NAM
BUFR SOUNDINGS HAVE A MUCH DEEPER INVERSION/GREATER SEPARATION
FROM THE STRONGEST WINDS ALOFT DOWN TO THE SURFACE WHEREAS THE
GFS BUFR SOUNDINGS HAVE A VERY SHALLOW INVERSION LAYER FOLLOWED
BY A FAIRLY WELL MIXED LAYER. DEPENDING UPON WHICH SOUNDING IS
CORRECT WILL DETERMINE HOW STRONG THE WINDS EVENTUALLY WILL BE.
CONSEQUENTLY...MAXIMUM HUMIDITIES WILL HAVE A POOR RECOVERY
OVERNIGHT DUE TO THIS MIXED LAYER AND GUSTY WINDS WHICH WILL SET
THE STAGE FOR ANOTHER POTENTIAL RED FLAG WARNING ON SUNDAY OVER
EXTREME SOUTH CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA. PLEASE REFER TO THE FIRE
WEATHER SECTION BELOW FOR FURTHER DETAILS.

BESIDES ANOTHER POTENTIAL RED FLAG WARNING SUNDAY...WILL ALSO NEED
TO LOOK AT A POSSIBLE WIND ADVISORY FOR ALL COUNTIES EAST AND
SOUTH OF BISMARCK. EXPECTING SOUTH WINDS INCREASING TO 30 TO 40
MPH WITH GUSTS TO 45 MPH DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING.

THE UPPER LEVEL FLOW WILL BEGIN TO BUCKLE AND BECOME SOUTHWESTERLY
OVER THE FORECAST AREA TODAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT. THE SURFACE
FRONT WILL STRENGTHEN OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS AS THE UPPER
TROUGH GETS CLOSER AND THE BAROCLINIC ZONE BECOMES WELL DEFINED.
HOWEVER THE MOVEMENT OF THE COLD FRONT WILL BE A SLOW MOVER AS IT
REMAINS PARALLEL TO THE THE UPPER FLOW. BY THE END OF THE SHORT
TERM/MONDAY NIGHT...THE COLD FRONT WILL HAVE JUST CLEARED OUR EASTERN
MOST CWA. THIS WILL BRING A MUCH COOLER/WETTER WEATHER PATTERN TO
THE CWA. THE COOL DOWN BETWEEN SUNDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT WILL FOLLOW
A NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST PROGRESSION. HIGHS BY MONDAY WILL RANGE
FROM THE UPPER 50S NORTHWEST TO MID 80S OVER THE SOUTHEAST
FORECAST AREA. HAVE DONE MINOR TWEAKING ON THE POPS/WX GRIDS.
EXPECT THE POTENTIAL OF SOME ELEVATED CONVECTION TONIGHT ASSOCIATED
WITH THE LOW LEVEL JET IN THE NORTHERN ZONES. SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BEGIN TO DEVELOP ALONG AND BEHIND THE COLD FRONT
SUNDAY AND CONTINUE TO PROGRESS EAST INTO MONDAY NIGHT.

.LONG TERM...TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT...

ECMWF AND GFS BOTH IN FAIR AGREEMENT WITH VIGOROUS SHORTWAVE TROUGH
SWINGING ACROSS THE NRN ROCKIES INTO THE NRN PLAINS ON TUESDAY. THE
GFS IS A BIT STRONGER AND SHOWS CLOSED UPPER LOW OVER SERN MONTANA.
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH THIS FEATURE WILL LAST UNTIL MIDDAY
TUESDAY AND THEN MOVE ON OUT OF AREA BY TUESDAY EVENING. THERE WILL
BE A BRIEF BREAK ON WEDNESDAY THEN NEXT SHORTWAVE TROUGH DIGS IN
ACROSS THE NRN ROCKIES ON THURSDAY AND SWINGS INTO THE NRN PLAINS
BY THURSDAY NIGHT. THE GFS IS A BIT FASTER THAN THE ECMWF BUT THEY
BOTH KEEP A LINGERING TROUGH ACROSS THE AREA INTO EARLY SATURDAY.
SO SHOWERS AND SOME THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE AGAIN AS THE PATTERN
LOOKS TO BE ACTIVE. TEMPERATURES WILL BE ON THE ROLLER COASTER
DURING THIS EXTENDED PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION...
NO REAL AVIATION CONCERNS AS SKIES SHOULD REMAIN MOSTLY CLEAR
AND VFR CONDITIONS DURING THE DAY.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...HAVE DECIDED TO UPGRADE OUR PREVIOUS FIRE WEATHER
WATCH TO A RED FLAG WARNING...ALTHOUGH HAVE REMOVED DIVIDE AND
WILLIAMS COUNTIES FROM THE WARNING SINCE WINDS THERE WILL NOT MEET
RED FLAG CRITERIA. THE REST OF THE ZONES INCLUDED IN THE RED FLAG
WARNING HAVE VERY HIGH TO EXTREME RANGELAND FIRE DANGER INDICES
WITH MINIMUM HUMIDITIES RANGING FROM 13 TO 25 PERCENT TODAY ALONG
WITH GUSTY SOUTH WINDS OF 25 TO 35 MPH. PLEASE REFER TO BISRFWBIS
FOR FURTHER DETAILS.

ON SUNDAY...A POTENTIAL RED FLAG WARNING FOR EXTREME SOUTH CENTRAL
SECTIONS INCLUDING THE COUNTIES OF SIOUX...GRANT...AND MORTON WITH
MINIMUM HUMIDITIES OF 20 TO 25 PERCENT AND GUSTY SOUTH WINDS OF 25
TO 40 MPH. WILL ALERT THE DAY SHIFT OF THIS AND RE-EVALUATE IT AGAIN
LATER TODAY AND TONIGHT.
