AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BISMARCK ND...CORRECTION FOR SHORT TERM
250 PM CST TUE NOV 4 2008

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT
SIGNIFICANT WINTER STORM STILL ON TRACK TO AFFECT THE REGION BY LATE
WEDNESDAY. MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS WILL DEAL WITH THE ENSUING WINTER
STORM.  THESE CONCERNS INCLUDE...THE EXACT PLACEMENT OF THE HEAVY
SNOW BANDS...HIGH WINDS WITH THE SYSTEM...AND ALSO THE EXPECTED
CHANGE OVER TO SNOW/FREEZING PRECIP.

CURRENT WATER VAPOR IMAGERY DEPICTS A STRONG 130KT+ UPPER LEVEL JET
DIGGING AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH ACROSS THE WESTERN UNITED STATES.
DOWNSTREAM...CYCLOGENESIS IS BEGINNING ACROSS THE FRONT RANGE OF THE
ROCKIES ACROSS NORTHEASTERN WY. FURTHERMORE...ASSOCIATED DEVELOPMENT
OF A 30 TO 40 KNOT LLJ IS RESULTING IN GOOD MOISTURE TRANSPORT FROM
THE GULF OF MEXICO...NORTHWARD ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS.

SURFACE LOW REALLY GETS GOING THIS EVENING AS GUIDANCE DEPICTS A 996
MB LOW DEVELOPING AND PUSHING EAST ACROSS SOUTH DAKOTA. STRONG
THETA E ADVECTION AHEAD OF THE LOW WILL RESULT IN ELEVATED
INSTABILITY DEVELOPING THIS EVENING ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL AND
SOUTHEASTERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA...WITHIN THE WARM SECTOR.
THUS...WOULD EXPECT SHOWERS AND EVEN THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP OVER
PORTIONS OF CENTRAL AND EASTERN NORTH DAKOTA THIS EVENING. CURRENTLY
APPEARS THAT THE BEST CHANCE OF PRECIP WILL OCCUR NEAR THE WARM
FRONTAL ZONE ACROSS CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA.  WE ALSO RUN THE RISK OF
POSSIBLY SEEING SOME MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL WITHIN SOME OF THESE
STORMS AS STEEP MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES...ASSOCIATED WITH AN EML...ARE
EXPECTED WITHIN THE HAIL GROWTH ZONE.

NEXT STORY OF MAJOR CONCERN IS THE WINTER PORTION OF THE STORM. WE
CAN EXPECT ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING FROM HEAVY SNOW ACROSS PORTIONS
OF WESTERN AND CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA TO POSSIBLE SOME ICING
ACROSS EASTERN SECTIONS OF THE AREA. NEEDLESS TO SAY...THE DYNAMICS
WITH THIS STORM WILL BE QUIT IMPRESSIVE. LARGE SCALE FORCING IS
EXPECTED TO BE VERY LARGE AS A MID LEVEL DEFORMATION ZONE SETS UP
ACROSS THE REGION WITHIN THE NORTHWEST QUADRANT OF THE STORM. IN
ADDITION...A VERY DISTINCT TROWAL DEVELOPS LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND
INTO THURSDAY ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL THROUGH NORTHEASTERN NORTH
DAKOTA. STRONG FRONTOGENETIC FORCING WITHIN THIS AREA...COMBINED
WITH VERY STRONG LARGE SCALE FORCING WITH LIKELY YIELD SOME INTENSE
MESOSCALE BANDS OF SNOWFALL. THIS WILL BE FURTHER AIDED BY THE FACT
THAT WITH STRONG...DEEP FORCING WITHIN THE FAVORABLE DENDRITIC
GROWTH ZONE...VERY EFFICIENT SNOWFALL PRODUCTION WILL OCCUR.
CURRENTLY...IT APPEARS THE HEAVIEST SNOW WILL RUN ALONG AND ABOUT 50
MILES EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM SELFRIDGE TO BISMARCK NORTH
NORTHEASTWARD TO ROLLA. IN THESE AREAS UP TO 10 INCHES OR MORE ARE
POSSIBLE. LIGHTER AMOUNTS WILL BE SEEN WEST OF THIS LINE...WITH
LIGHT AMOUNTS OF SNOW ACROSS THE NORTHWEST PORTION OF THE STATE.

THE OVERALL TIMING OF THE CHANGEOVER TO SNOW WILL OCCUR BY LATE
AFTERNOON EARLY EVENING ACROSS THE NORTHWEST...AND WILL OCCUR DURING
THE LATE EVENING EARLY OVERNIGHT HOURS (10 PM TO 2 AM) ACROSS THE
CENTRAL PORTIONS OF THE STATE.

FARTHER EAST...ICE MAY BECOME A CONCERN BY THURSDAY. BUFFER
SOUNDINGS INDICATE THAT A WARM NOSE...AROUND 750MB ASSOCIATED WITH
THE TROWAL...WILL PUNCH IN ACROSS EASTERN AND SOUTHEASTERN PORTIONS
OF THE AREA (INCLUDING JAMESTOWN). THIS WILL LIKELY SLOW DOWN THE
TRANSITION TO SNOW ACROSS THIS AREA...LIMITING SNOWFALL AMOUNTS
ACROSS THIS AREA. INSTEAD A PERIOD OF FREEZING RAIN MAY BE IN STORE
BEGINNING EARLY THURSDAY MORNING AND PERSISTING INTO AT LEAST THE
EARLY AFTERNOON BEFORE FINALLY CHANGING TO SNOW. WITH THIS IN MIND I
WILL EXTEND THE WATCH TO INCLUDE THE EASTERN SECTIONS OF MY CWA TO
ACCOUNT FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF SOME ICING FOLLOWED BY A FEW INCHES
OF SNOW.

IF THIS WAS NOT ENOUGH...WINDS WILL BE VERY STRONG WITH THIS
STORM...LIKELY PRODUCING BLIZZARD CONDITIONS ACROSS AREA WHICH
RECEIVE HEAVY SNOWFALL. BUFFER SOUNDING ADVERTISE 40 TO 45+ KNOTS
WITHIN THE MIXING LAYER. MAY HAVE TO UPGRADE PORTIONS OF THE WATCH
TO A BLIZZARD WARNING IT THESE TRENDS CONTINUE.

EVERYTHING SHOULD FINALLY BEGIN TO WIND DOWN ON FRIDAY AS THE SYSTEM
EXITS THE REGION...BUT TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN COLD WITH THE
EXPECTED SNOWPACK.

.LONG TERM...SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY
A CYCLONIC NORTH TO NORTHWESTERLY UPPER FLOW BEHIND DEPARTING STORM
CONTINUES FOR SATURDAY BUT WILL TRANSITION TO ANTICYCLONIC BY
MONDAY...THEN WESTERLY/PROGRESSIVE FLOW BY TUESDAY. LATEST GFS/ECMWF
AND CANADIAN GEM MODEL ALL SHOW A SIMILAR TREND. A SLIGHT CHC OF
SNOW WILL CONTINUE TO REMAIN A THREAT OVER WESTERN SECTIONS THROUGH
THE WEEKEND CLOSES TO THE ACROSS CENTRAL AND WESTERN NORTH DAKOTA
THROUGH THE WEEKEND. COLD TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN THROUGH THE
WEEKEND AS WELL WITH HIGHS IN THE LOWER TO MID 30S AND LOWS IN THE
TEENS. A LOT OF THIS DOES DEPEND ON HOW MUCH SNOW IS ON THE GROUND
AS WELL AS TEMPERATURES COULD BE MUCH COLDER THAN THIS ESPECIALLY AT
NIGHT. THE NEXT SHORTWAVE TROUGH LOOKS TO MOVE THROUGH ON TUESDAY
AND INTO TUESDAY NIGHT WITH A MIX OF RAIN/SNOW...BUT PRECIPITATION
AMOUNTS LOOK LIGHT AT THIS TIME. WITH THE ZONAL FLOW WILL SEE A
RETURN TO TEMPERATURES AROUND 40F ON TUESDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...
A POTPOURRI OF WEATHER SPANNING 48HR FROM 12Z WEDS THROUGH 12Z FRI
WILL GREATLY IMPACT AVIATION AT ALL AERODROMES. EXPECT RAIN AND A
THREAT OF THUNDERSTORMS TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...WITH THE
THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL FROM KMOT TO KBIS AND EAST TO KJMS. CEILINGS
AND VISIBILITY WILL DETERIORATE FROM VFR EARLY TONIGHT TO MVFR
CONDITIONS BY 12Z WEDS. LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPING OVER COLORADO
TONIGHT WILL EJECT NORTHEAST INTO EASTERN SOUTH DAKOTA WEDNESDAY
NIGHT AND THEN INTO MINNESOTA THURSDAY NIGHT. THIS WILL BRING COLDER
AIR INTO NORTH DAKOTA WEDNESDAY EVENING INTO THURSDAY...WITH RAIN
CHANGING TO SNOW FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST WEDNESDAY NIGHT. NORTH
TO NORTHWEST WINDS OF 35 TO 45 MPH ALONG WITH MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW
AT TIMES WILL CREATE NEAR BLIZZARD LIKE CONDITIONS ON THURSDAY.
PREPARE FOR VISIBILITIES OF AROUND 1/4 MILE OR LESS AT TIMES WITH
IFR TO LIFR CEILINGS.
