Area forecast discussion, Jul 30, 2:40 PM CDT, 7 hours 56 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BISMARCK ND
240 PM CDT WED JUL 30 2008

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT...
MAIN FOCUS FOR TODAYS FORECAST IS SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL FOR THIS
AFTERNOON/TONIGHT. SURFACE LOW OVER SOUTH CENTRAL SOUTH DAKOTA WITH
ANOTHER LOW/TROUGH FROM SOUTHEASTERN MONTANA THROUGH SOUTH CENTRAL
MANITOBA. SURFACE DEWPOINTS IN THE 60S IN CENTRAL/EASTERN SOUTH
DAKOTA AND HAVE MOVED INTO FAR SOUTH CENTRAL AND SOUTHEASTERN NORTH
DAKOTA. H850 AND H925 ANALYSIS INDICATES DEVELOPING LOW LEVEL JET
WHICH IS BRINGING HIGHER DEWPOINTS INTO LOW LEVELS IN
SOUTHWEST/SOUTH CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA. EXPECTING MOST FAVORABLE AREA
OF THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT OVER WESTERN NORTH DAKOTA LATE THIS
AFTERNOON IN THE VICINITY OF SURFACE TROUGH THAT IS MOVING INTO FAR
WESTERN NORTH DAKOTA. AS TEMPERATURES CLIMB INTO THE 90S...EXPECT
CUMULUS DEVELOPMENT. OTHERWISE THERE IS A MID LEVEL CAP THAT IS
EXPECTED TO WEAKEN AS THE AFTERNOON PROGRESSES. THERE IS ALSO A
CHANCE OF ELEVATED THUNDERSTORMS IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE LOW LEVEL
JET OVER WESTERN AND SOUTH CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA THIS AFTERNOON AND
INTO TONIGHT. ALSO A STRONG UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE EXPECTED TO MOVE
INTO NORTHWESTERN NORTH DAKOTA LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND MOVE ACROSS
THE STATE TONIGHT. EXPECT THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP OVER WESTERN
NORTH DAKOTA LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND CONTINUE EASTWARD INTO CENTRAL
NORTH DAKOTA DURING THE EVENING AND MOVE INTO EASTERN NORTH DAKOTA
AFTER MIDNIGHT. HAVE MENTIONED POSSIBLY SEVERE WITH HAIL AND
STRAIGHT-LINE WINDS THE BIGGEST THREAT. HEAVY RAIN POSSIBLE IN SOME
LOCALES.

FOR THURSDAY...LINGERING PRECIP IN EASTERN COUNTIES POSSIBLE IN THE
MORNING...OTHERWISE DRY HIGH PRESSURE MOVING IN FROM THE WEST AND
EXPECT A CLEAR SKY THURSDAY NIGHT.

ON FRIDAY SURFACE HIGH MOVES EAST INTO MINNESOTA AND A SURFACE LOW
DEVELOPS ON THE FRONT RANGE OF THE ROCKIES AHEAD OF ANOTHER
LOW/TROUGH MOVING IN FROM WESTERN CANADA. NORTH DAKOTA IS UNDER AN
UPPER LEVEL RIDGE AHEAD OF THIS SYSTEM...BUT HAVE SLIGHT CHANCE OF
THUNDER IN THE WEST NEAR THE SURFACE TROUGH. THE RIDGE BREAKS DOWN A
BIT FRIDAY NIGHT AND HAVE SLIGHT CHANCES FRIDAY NIGHT FOR WHOLE
FORECAST AREA.

BETTER CHANCES OF THUNDERSTORMS ON SATURDAY AS WESTERN SHORTWAVE
APPROACHES THE DAKOTAS AND THERE IS SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WITH VORT
ENERGY MOVING ACROSS THE REGION AND LOW LEVEL MOISTURE ADVECTION
AHEAD OF THE DEVELOPING SURFACE TROUGH.

.LONG TERM...SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...
AN ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN THROUGH THE EXTENDED PERIOD CONTINUES TO
BE DEPICTED BY BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF AS A LONG WAVE TROUGH/CLOSED
UPPER LOW SLIDES ACROSS CENTRAL CANADA AND INTO THE HUDSON BAY
REGION...EFFECTIVELY SHUNNING THE DEVELOPMENT OF ANY RIDGE ACROSS
THE NORTH CENTRAL PLAINS TILL LATER IN THE WEEK. THUS WILL CONTINUE
OFF AND ON CHANCES FOR THUNDER SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY AS HARD TO
TIME AND PLACE EMBEDDED S/WV TROUGHS SLIDE ACROSS OUR LOCAL REGION.
TEMPERATURES WILL GENERALLY BE NEAR TO SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL SUNDAY
THROUGH WEDNESDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...
A SURFACE TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE OVER EASTERN MONTANA THIS AFTERNOON
WILL PUSH SLOWLY TO THE EAST INTO WESTERN ND BY EARLY THIS EVENING.
THIS FEATURE IN COMBINATION WITH A SIGNIFICANT UPPER LEVEL TROUGH
ADVECTING ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL CANADA WILL TRIGGER THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE SURFACE COLD FRONT AS IT PROGRESSES EAST. AT
THIS TIME ANTICIPATE CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT WEST LATER THIS
AFTERNOON/EARLY THIS EVENING SPREADING EAST THROUGHOUT THE REMAINDER
OF THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. GENERALLY WILL SEE VFR FLIGHT
CONDITIONS...WITH SHORT DURATION MVFR-IFR CIGS AND VIS IN THE
HEAVIER TSRA.
