AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND FORKS ND
500 AM CST THU NOV 6 2008
.DISCUSSION...
MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGE IS PRECIPITATION. WHEN LOOKING AT THE LATEST
SURFACE ANALYSIS...AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE IS CENTERED IN CENTRAL SD
WITH AN INVERTED TROF EXTENDING THROUGH NE SD INTO WC MN. WHEN
COMPARING THE MODELS...THERE STILL ARE SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES ON
HOW THE SURFACE LOW TRACKS THROUGH E SD INTO W MN THIS AFTERNOON AND
TONIGHT...WITH THE NAM AND ECWMF ON A MORE W TRACK AND THE GFS
FARTHER E. THUS...ENDED UP LEANING TOWARD THE NAM SOLUTION AS IT
APPEARS TO BE HANDLING THE CURRENT DRY SLOT/QPF AREAS THE BEST.
WITH A FARTHER W TRACK POSSIBLE...RESULTANT EFFECT WOULD BE A DELAY
IN THE CHANGE OVER FROM RA TO SN AND A HIGHER POTENTIAL FOR ZR.
THUS...WILL LEAVE WINTER STORM WATCH IN EFFECT FOR THE N RRV INTO
LISBON AREA STARTING AT 18Z TODAY AND LET DAY SHIFT SEE HOW SYSTEM
HAS EVOLVED THIS MORNING TO DETERMINE IF THERE WILL BE SIGNIFICANT
ZR AND WHEN THE BEST CHANGE OVER TIME FRAME TO SN WILL BE. WITH N
RRV STILL SEEING SHRA ACTIVITY AND TSRA DEVELOPING IN THE LAST
HOUR...WILL ALSO LEAVE FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FOR TODAY. AT THIS
POINT...TEMPS NEAR FREEZING IN PARTS OF DVL AREA AND NOT EXPECTED TO
GO ANYWHERE BUT DOWN TODAY...SO WILL LEAVE START TIME OF WINTER
STORM WARNING FOR DVL AREA AT 12Z AND CANCEL WIND ADVISORY FOR THAT
AREA. WITH DVL AIRPORT SUSTAINED AT 30 MPH AND SURFACE PRESSURE
GRADIENT EXPECTED TO TIGHTEN OVER N RRV THIS MORNING...EXPECT WINDS
TO INCREASE INTO ADVISORY CRITERIA...SO WILL ISSUE A WIND ADVISORY
FOR N RRV FROM 12Z TO 18Z TO COVER THE GAP UNTIL THE WINTER STORM
WATCH GOES IN EFFECT.
AS FAR AS WEATHER GRIDS...TRIED TO TIME CHANGE OVER FROM RA/ZR TO
RA/SN FROM W TO E ACROSS THE AREA. UNTIL LOW MOVES INTO WC MN THIS
EVENING...MODEL SOUNDS KEEPING TEMPS WARM ENOUGH FOR RAIN...FROM
EXTREME SE ND INTO NW MN UP TO ABOUT MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. THEN...THE
ATMOSPHERE COOLS PRETTY QUICKLY WITH ENTIRE AREA EXPECTED TO BE SNOW
BY FRI MORNING. HIGHEST SNOWFALL ACCUMULATION POTENTIAL STILL IS IN
THE DVL AREA AND THE N RRV...WITH BLOWING SNOW AND REDUCED VSBYS
POSSIBLE STARTING THIS EVENING AND LASTING THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY
FRI. WILL NEED TO LET LATER SHIFT REFINE VSBY REDUCTION PROBLEM
BETTER ONCE SEE HOW RA/SN CHANGE OVER OCCURS.
SYSTEM WINDS DOWN BY SAT MORNING...WITH SOME RESIDUAL FLURRIES
POSSIBLE. THEN...A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WORKS ITS WAY ACROSS THE N
PLAINS FOR THE WEEKEND INTO THE EARLY PART OF NEXT WEEK. WITH FRESH
SNOW COVER EXPECTED...ESPECIALLY IN THE DVL AREA...STARTED TREND OF
CUTTING BACK ON HIGH AND LOW TEMPS INTO TUE TO ACCOUNT FOR THE
CHANGE IN SURFACE INSOLATION CHARACTERISTICS.

.AVIATION...
MVFR CIGS AND VSBYS TO DROP TO IFR TODAY IN BR...TSRA..ZR..AND/OR
