AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BISMARCK ND ISSUED BY NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND FORKS ND 1100 AM CDT THU JUN 19 2008 .UPDATE... FORECAST CHALLENGE FOR THE DAY CONTINUES TO BE TIMING...PLACEMENT AND COVERAGE OF THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY THIS AFTERNOON. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY DEPICTS WEAK DISTURBANCES RIDING OVER THE 500MB RIDGE IN ACROSS THE HIGH PLAINS. THIS COMBINED WITH A WIND SHIFT CURRENTLY ACROSS CENTRAL ND SHOULD HELP INITIATE THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON. MINIMAL CHANGES WERE MADE TO THE FORECAST. DID DECREASE SKY AND ADDED A 20 POP IN EXTREME EAST AND SOUTHEAST FA FOR SHOWER ACTIVITY THIS MORNING. && AVIATION... VFR CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST TO REMAIN PREDOMINANT TODAY AS SHORTWAVE RIDGING APPROACHES WESTERN AND CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA IN THE WAKE OF WEDNESDAYS SEVERE WEATHER. HOWEVER...ONE MORE WEAK IMPULSE IN EASTERN MONTANA MAY STILL SPARK A FEW THUNDERSTORMS BEFORE NOON. IN THUNDERSTORMS THAT DO FORM THIS MORNING...EXPECT MODERATE TO SEVERE TURBULENCE AND A BRIEF PERIOD OF REDUCED VISIBILITY. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 359 AM CDT THU JUN 19 2008/ SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT... CONCERNING PRECIPITATION CHANCES THIS MORNING...NCEP/SPC 08 UTC RUC ANALYSIS GRAPHICS INDICATE AN AXIS OF 1000 J/KG CAPE WITH LESS THAN 50 J/KG CIN ACROSS WESTERN AND SOUTHWESTERN NORTH DAKOTA. THE INTENSITY OF A MIDDLE LEVEL SHORTWAVE APPROACHING THE AXIS OF INSTABILITY...PER 0745 UTC WATER VAPOR SATELLITE IMAGERY...COULD BE ENOUGH TO SPARK A FEW THUNDERSTORMS BEFORE NOON. THE SHORT TERM PERIOD IS DOMINATED BY THE WESTERN H500 RIDGE WHICH KEEPS A NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. A SERIES OF SHORTWAVES RUNNING ALONG THE RIDGE...ALONG WITH ADEQUATE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE...WILL PROVIDE ENOUGH INSTABILITY FOR AFTERNOON AND EVENING CONVECTION ALL THREE DAYS. THERE IS AVAILABLE POTENTIAL ENERGY - CAPE - AND NEGATIVE LIFTED INDICES DURING THE AFTERNOON/EVENING TIME PERIODS. SPC HAS THE STATE IN A GENERAL THUNDERSTORM OUTLOOK FOR TODAY AND FRIDAY...EVEN PUTTING THE SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TO THE FAR SOUTHWEST COUNTIES ON FRIDAY. BOTH THE NAM AND GFS INDICATE SPOTTY PRECIPITATION DESPITE WEAK HIGH OR LOW SURFACE PRESSURE OVER NORTH DAKOTA. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE SHARPENING RIDGE ON SATURDAY WILL INHIBIT ANY STRONG STORMS...BUT CONVECTION IS STILL POSSIBLE. LONG TERM...SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT... IT APPEARS THE 00 UTC RUNS OF THE GFS AND ECMWF HAVE DECIDED TO MAINTAIN THE CENTRAL NORTH AMERICAN RIDGE THROUGH THE PERIOD...DESPITE RUNS OVER THE PAST 48 HOURS THAT PREFER A TRANSITION TOWARD ZONAL FLOW ALOFT. GIVEN MAINTENANCE OF THE NORTHEAST PACIFIC VORTEX/WEST COAST TROUGH OVER THE PAST COUPLE WEEKS...EXPECT TO KEEP SOME AMPLIFICATION IN THE DOWNSTREAM FLOW OVER THE PLAINS. THIS FLOW PATTERN ALSO FAVORS A REASONABLE CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION FOR WESTERN AND CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA THROUGH MOST OF THE PERIOD AS MIDDLE LEVEL SHORTWAVES TRAVERSE THE NORTH SIDE OF THE RIDGE. BOTH THE 00 UTC GFS AND 00 UTC ECMWF ARE IN AGREEMENT WITH THE TIMING AND INTENSITY OF A WELL-ORGANIZED IMPULSE THAT MOVES INTO WESTERN NORTH DAKOTA BY MONDAY MORNING. CONSEQUENTLY...INCREASED PRECIPITATION CHANCES A BIT IN GRIDS. CONCERNING TEMPERATURES...SLIGHTLY HIGHER DEWPOINTS SHOULD KEEP LOWS IN THE MIDDLE/UPPER 50S WHILE HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE RIDGE HOVER IN THE LOW TO MIDDLE 80S. && .BIS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && JK
