AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND FORKS ND
235 AM CDT SUN OCT 12 2008

.DISCUSSION...
FORECAST CHALLENGE CONCERNS SHORT TERM HEAVY RAIN THREAT AND
TEMPERATURES.

MODELS OVERALL IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT AND WILL CONTINUE TO UTILIZE
GFS FOR DETAILS.

MSAS INDICATING MAXIMUM SURFACE PRESSURE FALLS FROM CENTRAL NEBRASKA
INTO NE ND. THIS SHOULD BE TRACK OF SURFACE LOW WHICH WILL LIFT NNE
TODAY AS UPPER JET CORE LIFTS NORTHWARD THROUGH NORTHERN HIGH
PLAINS. IMPRESSIVE MOISTURE ADVECTION CONTINUES TO A DEGREE GOOD
PART OF DAY WITH JUICY PRECIPITABLE H20 VALUES FROM 1-1.5 INCHES.
MAXIMIZED ISENTROPIC LIFT THIS MORNING WEAKENS SOMEWHAT AND
GRADUALLY SHIFTS EAST DURING DAY. NOSE OF LOW LEVEL JET CURRENTLY
ALONG ND/SD BORDER LIFTS NORTHWARD DURING DAY. AS A RESULT EXPECT
CORE OF HEAVIEST RAIN OVER EASTERN ND AT THIS TIME TO GRADUALLY
SHIFT EAST AND NORTH DURING DAY. NEEDLESS TO SAY WILL KEEP HIGH POPS
GOING DURING DAY. CONVECTIVE PARAMETERS NOT REAL IMPRESSIVE HOWEVER
FROM LAST FEW DAYS FORCING HAS BEEN SUFFICIENT TO WARRANT ISOLD T
MENTION. LIGHTNING CURRENTLY OVER NE SD AND WILL NEED TO MONITOR
CONVECTIVE TRENDS AS BAND MOVES INTO FAR SE FA WHICH HAS HAD
PREVIOUS HEAVY RAIN. CONVECTIVE BAND AT PRESENT IS FAIRLY NARROW AND
PROGRESSIVE SO FLASH FLOOD POTENTIAL LOOKS MINIMAL. TEMPERATURES
WILL AGAIN BE A BIG CHALLENGE. AS SURFACE LOW LIFTS NORTHWARD
ASSOCIATED WARM FRONT LIFTS NORTHWARD THROUGH AREAS ALONG AND MAINLY
EAST OF VALLEY. AS A RESULT COULD HAVE 20+ DEGREE TEMPERATURE
GRADIENT FROM WEST TO EAST ACROSS FA.

BY EVENING SURFACE LOW REACHES EAST CENTRAL ND WITH NAM SLIGHTLY
FARTHER NORTH. MAIN PCPN SHIELD SHOULD BE NORTH OF LOW OR ROUGHLY
OVER NORTHERN THIRD OF FA. CONVECTIVE TRENDS WILL NEED TO BE
MONITORED ALONG ATTENDANT PREFRONTAL TROUGH WHICH WILL PUSH ACROSS
SOUTHERN FA DURING EVENING. THIS AREA HARDEST HIT WITH PCPN THUS FAR
THROUGH THE EVENT AND ANY ADDITIONAL RAIN WILL ONLY AGGRAVATE
CURRENT SATURATED CONDITIONS. BOTH NAM AND GFS KEEPING HEAVIEST QPF
SOUTH AND EAST OF FA SO NOT PLANNING ANY ADDITIONAL FLOOD HEADLINES
BUT WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED CLOSELY. STRONGEST COLD ADVECTION
AFTER MIDNIGHT AS TROUGH PUSHES THROUGH. WARMEST MINIMUMS WILL BE
OVER FAR EASTERN FA LAST TO SEE FROPA AND ENSUING COLD ADVECTION.

COLUMN DRIES MONDAY AS DRY SLOTTING TAKES PLACE AHEAD OF UPPER LOW.
WILL MAKE SOME POPS ADJUSTMENTS AS MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT IN
KEEPING COLD POOL AND DEEPER MOISTURE WITH UPPER LOW TO OUR WEST.
COLD ADVECTION STEADY DURING DAY AND WILL RESULT IN COOLER
TEMPERATURES.

UPPER LOW AND ASSOCIATED COLD POOL AND DEEPER RH CROSSES FA
OVERNIGHT MONDAY. DEEPEST RH NORTH OF BORDER AND PCPN WITH
FEATURE/COLD POOL USUALLY DIURNALLY DRIVEN SO WILL KEEP FORECAST
DRY.

MID LEVEL FLOW TRANSITIONS TO A ZONAL PATTERN FOR REMAINDER OF WORK
WEEK. STRONGEST IMPULSE RIDING THROUGH FLOW AFFECTS FA ON THURSDAY
SO WILL KEEP LOW POPS GOING. TEMPERATURES LOOK SEASONAL THROUGH
LONGER RANGE.

.AVIATION...
IFR CIGS WIDESPREAD AND SHOULD REMAINS SO BRUNT OF DAY. EXCEPTION
COULD BE ACROSS FAR EASTERN FA THIS MORNING WITH MORE CONVECTIVE
APPEARANCE TO PCPN.

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