AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND FORKS ND
245 AM CDT SAT OCT 11 2008

.DISCUSSION...
FORECAST CHALLENGE CONTINUES TO BE ONGOING RAIN THREAT/LOCATION AND
TEMPERATURES.

MODELS AGAIN INITIALIZED GOOD AND COMING INTO SLIGHTLY BETTER
AGREEMENT. NAM STILL FARTHEST EAST WITH SURFACE LOW LIFTING N SUNDAY
AND COLDEST. WILL CONTINUE TO USE FARTHER WEST/WARMER GFS SOLUTION
BACKED BY SIMILAR ECMWF AND CANADIAN MODELS.

GFS 300-305K SURFACE CONTINUES TO DEPICT CURRENT RADAR IMAGERY WELL
RIDING UP COLD SIDE OF WELL DEFINED SURFACE INVERTED TROUGH. CURRENT
BAND OF MOSTLY LIGHT -RA THROUGH SW-NE ORIENTED CENTRAL PORTION OF
FA. ISENTROPIC LIFT GRADUALLY WEAKENS OVERNIGHT INTO SATURDAY AND
BACK EDGE OF CURRENT BAND INTO FAR WESTERN FA. STILL SEEING SOME
PCPN UPSTREAM OVER WESTERN SD ASSOCIATED WITH NEXT IMPULSE TO LIFT
THROUGH FA TODAY. WARM ADVECTION NOT AS STRONG TODAY AS BAROCLINIC
ZONE CONTINUES TO SHIFT W-NW. MOIST SOUTHERLY FLOW CONTINUES WITH
PRECIPITABLE H20 VALUES CLIMBING ABOVE AN INCH. WITH NW SHIFT OF
BAROCLINIC ZONE AND WEAKER LIFT/WARM ADVECTION NEXT BAND OF -RA
SHOULD NOT BE QUITE AS INTENSE AS YESTERDAY AND SHOULD BE NORTH OF
AREAS HARDEST HIT WITH YESTERDAYS RAIN. WILL STILL MAINTAIN
RELATIVELY HIGH POPS TODAY AS RAIN STILL LOOKS LIKELY. TEMPERATURES
WILL BE BIG CHALLENGE AS TO WHETHER WARM ADVECTION CAN BOOST
TEMPERATURES IN SPITE OF CLOUDS. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE ADVECTION LIKELY
TO AFFECT MINIMUM TEMPERATURES MORE THAN MAX. FOR THE MOST PART WILL
LEAN TOWARDS SLIGHTLY COOLER MAX VALUES WITH CLOUDS.

LATER TONIGHT LOW LEVEL JET CRANKS UP AHEAD OF EJECTING SURFACE LOW
PROVIDING IMPRESSIVE CONVERGENCE TO WESTERN AND NORTHERN FA.
ISENTROPIC LIFT ALSO STRONG AND NW HALF OF FA SHOULD SEE NEXT
SHOT OF SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL. WITH BAROCLINIC ZONE CONTINUING TO
SHIFT WESTWARD HEAVY RAIN BAND SHOULD AFFECT NORTHERN AREAS OF FA
WHICH SO FAR HAVE ESCAPED SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL. WITH NO HEAVY BAND
AFFECTING SUCCESSIVE AREAS THROUGH WEEKEND WILL HOLD OFF ON FLOOD
WATCH HEADLINES BUT LATER SHIFTS WILL HAVE TO CONTINUE TO MONITOR
THREAT. IN WARM SECTOR 50-55 DEWPOINTS SURGE NORTHWARD INTO FAR
EASTERN FA AND WITH OVERLY MOIST AIRMASS BECOMES UNSTABLE. SOME
CAPPING ISSUES AND LOW LEVEL JET CONVERGENCE FOCUSED TO THE WEST
HOWEVER CANNOT RULE OUT POTENTIAL ALONG INVERTED TROUGH AND WILL
KEEP MENTION GOING.

MAIN JET CORE ROUNDS TROUGH AND EJECTS UPPER/SURFACE LOW NORTHWARD
ON SUNDAY. HEAVIEST RAIN SHOULD BE DURING THE AM BEFORE FAVORED
CONVERGENCE/WARM ADVECTION AND LIFT SHIFTS NORTHWARD INTO CANADA AND
SHARP BAROCLINIC ZONE SHIFTS INTO THE CENTRAL/WESTERN DAKOTAS. THIS
WILL PUT MOST OF FA INTO WARM SECTOR AND TEMPERATURES WILL HINGE
GREATLY ON CLOUD TRENDS. WHILE INSTABILITY AND CAPE MINIMAL DOES
APPEAR TO BE SOME LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE WITH NOSE OF 850MB JET
POKING INTO SE PORTION OF FA AND THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY OF SOME
SOLAR SO WILL KEEP THUNDER MENTION GOING.

DRY SLOTTING BEGINS TO AFFECT FA SUNDAY NIGHT SO WILL KEEP LOW POPS
GOING. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE FAR EAST COLUMN BEGINS TO COOL AND
DRIER AIR WRAPS INTO SYSTEM.

COLD POOL AND DEEPER WRAP AROUND RH REMAINS TO OUR WEST MONDAY AND
DOES NOT ARRIVE TIL OVERNIGHT SO AM NOT PLANNING ANY CHANGES TO
POPS. WITH NIGHT TIME ARRIVAL WILL KEEP FORECAST DRY AS PCPN LIKELY
TO BE DIURNALLY DRIVEN.

MID LEVEL FLOW TRANSITIONS INTO ZONAL PATTERN INTO MID WEEK AND WITH
DEEPEST LAYERED RH NORTH OF BORDER WILL KEEP FORECAST DRY. NO BIG
CHANGES TO LATER PERIODS.

&&

.AVIATION...CIGS VARIABLE ACROSS FA RANGING FROM VFR OVER NW FA TO
IFR OVER SE. WILL LIKELY SEE CONTINUED LOWERING CIGS FROM S-N AS
MOIST SOUTHERLY FLOW INCREASES.

&&

.HYDRO...
RIVER FLOODING MAY WELL GET GOING IN THE SOUTHERN BASIN NEXT FEW
DAYS AS WATER RUNOFF INTO THE STREAMS. SOILS IN SRN VALLEY AND DVL
BASIN ARE SATURATED. RAINFALL RATES APPEAR NOT ENOUGH TO CAUSE
REAL FLASH FLOODING...BUT SOILS SUCH TO KEEP WATER FROM SEEPING IN
FAST.

.FGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
ND...NONE.
MN...NONE.
