AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BISMARCK ND
332 AM CST SUN FEB 1 2009

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT...
FORECAST CONCERNS/HIGHLIGHTS IN THE SHORT TERM PERIOD WILL BE
ANOTHER ROUND OF GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS TODAY AND INTO PART OF THIS
EVENING...ALONG WITH LOCALIZED AREAS OF BLOWING SNOW AGAIN POSSIBLE.
COULD ALSO SEE SOME LIGHT SNOW ACCUMULATIONS (HALF INCH OR LESS)
MONDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY TUESDAY MORNING. A GENERAL MODEL BLEND AGAIN
WILL SUFFICE WITH NO LARGE DIFFERENCES.

CURRENTLY...NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT ACROSS THE LOCAL AREA WITH A LONG
WAVE TROUGH DIGGING IN ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF OF NORTH AMERICA.
SURFACE LOW PRESSURE OVER THE NORTHERN GREAT LAKES REGION AND HIGH
PRESSURE TO OUR WEST IS SUSTAINING CAA AND A DECENT PRESSURE
GRADIENT ACROSS NORTH DAKOTA THIS MORNING...WITH WEST-NORTHWEST
WINDS 15-25 MPH ALONG WITH A FEW GUSTS TO AROUND 30 MPH. MOSTLY
CLEAR SKIES ATTM AS WELL ALTHOUGH SFC TEMPS REMAIN AROUND 20 AND
INTO THE MIDDLE 20S.

PRESSURE GRADIENT REMAINS TIGHT TODAY ALONG WITH ONGOING CAA WHICH
RAMPS UP LATER TODAY WHEN A STRONG SECONDARY COLD FRONT SWINGS SOUTH
ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. THIS WILL RESULT IN OUR WINDS TO CREEP
UPWARDS LATER THIS MORNING AND INTO THE AFTERNOON HOURS AS WE BECOME
MORE ADIABATIC ALLOWING STRONGER WINDS ALOFT TO MIX DOWN. NOT NEAR
AS WINDY AS SATURDAY...BUT STILL STRONG ENOUGH TO WARRANT A WIND
ADVISORY FOR THE ENTIRE CWA AS GUSTS WILL RANGE FROM 35-40KTS (40-50
MPH). HAVE INCLUDED PATCHY AREAS OF BLSN AS WELL AS SOME TRAVEL
HEADACHES MAY DEVELOP IN OPEN AREAS. WILL ALSO MAINTAIN SCT FLURRIES
MENTION FOR ALL ZONES WITH EMBEDDED S/WV ENERGY SWINGING THROUGH THE
AREA THROUGHOUT TODAY AND TONIGHT. WILL END THE WIND ADV AT 01Z
EARLY THIS EVENING FOR ALL BUT MY NORTHEAST AND EAST CENTRAL
COUNTIES. REASON FOR THIS IS MODELS IN FAIR AGREEMENT WITH BRINGING
A DECENT PRESSURE RISE COUPLET SOUTHWARD 00Z-03Z THROUGH THE DEVILS
LAKE BASIN AREA AND INTO THE JAMES RIVER REGION BEHIND THE SECONDARY
COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE. DAYTIME HIGHS WILL BE SIMILAR TO CURRENT
TEMPERATURES THIS MORNING FOR THE MOST PART WITH FALLING TEMPS LATER
TODAY NORTH BEHIND THE COLD FROPA.

WINDS FINALLY DIMINISH LATER TONIGHT AND INTO MONDAY MORNING AS COLD
SFC HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO CENTRAL ND. SUBZERO LOWS ARE THUS
EXPECTED WITH THE COLDEST TEMPS OVER MY NORTHEASTERN COUNTIES WHICH
MAY REACH NEAR 20 BELOW. THE DAY CREW WILL LIKELY NEED A WIND CHILL
ADVISORY FOR TONIGHT/MONDAY MORNING WITH WIND CHILL TEMPS REACHING
ADVISORY LEVELS LATER THIS EVENING LASTING WELL INTO MONDAY MORNING
ACROSS OUR NORTH CENTRAL AND EASTERN COUNTIES/ZONES. WILL HOLD OFF
ON ISSUING THIS PRODUCT NOW WITH ALREADY NPW HEADLINES PLANNED. WILL
MENTION WIND CHILLS WITHIN THE NPW AND HWO. WARM AIR ADVECTION
BEGINS TO TAKE CONTROL AGAIN LATER MONDAY AND INTO MONDAY NIGHT
UNDER NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. LATEST MODEL SOLUTIONS CONTINUE TO
DEPICT AN EMBEDDED S/WV RIDING THROUGH THE LOCAL AREA MONDAY NIGHT
INTO TUESDAY MORNING...WHICH WILL BRING CHANCES FOR LIGHT SNOW TO
OUR AREA. HAVE INCREASED POPS AS WE MAY SEE HALF AN INCH IN SOME
PLACES.

WAA RAMPS UP A BIT FOR TUESDAY WITH INCREASING WEST/SOUTHWESTERLY
LOW/MID LEVEL FLOW. WILL MAINTAIN DRY CONDITIONS TUESDAY/TUESDAY
NIGHT WITH UPPER LEVEL RIDGING PUSHING EAST TOWARDS THE NORTHERN
PLAINS.

.LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...

THE PROGRESSIVE PATTERN IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE PERIOD
THANKS TO A BELT OF MIDDLE/UPPER LEVEL POLAR LOWS EXTENDING FROM
EASTERN RUSSIA INTO THE EASTERN CANADIAN MARITIMES.

SURPRISINGLY...MODELS/ENSEMBLES ARE IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT
REGARDING TIMING AND AMPLIFICATION OF PROGRESSIVE WAVES MOVING
THROUGH THE NORTHERN PLAINS ALONG THE U.S.-CANADIAN BORDER. THAT
BEING THE CASE...SIMPLY NUDGED CONTINUITY TOWARD THE 00 UTC GFS MOS
NUMBERS TO ACCOUNT FOR WARMING IN ADVANCE OF THE WEDNESDAY NIGHT
AND THURSDAY NIGHT WAVES/FRONTAL PASSAGES. EXPECT THAT WITHOUT AMPLE
SEPARATION BETWEEN AFOREMENTIONED POLAR LOWS THERE WILL NOT BE
SUFFICIENT MERIDIONAL FLOW ALOFT TO DIRECT CONTINENTAL
POLAR/ARCTIC AIRMASSES SOUTHWARD OUT OF CENTRAL CANADA.

THE EXTENDED PERIOD IS FORECAST TO BE PRECIPITATION FREE...SINCE THE
MORE FAVORABLE DYNAMICS WILL LIKELY REMAIN NORTH OF THE BORDER.

.AVIATION...

NORTHWESTERLY FLOW ON THE BACK SIDE OF A CANADIAN LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT FOR SOME GUSTS INTO THE 35 KNOT VICINITY
ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON...BUT BLOWING SNOW SHOULD NOT BE A CONCERN SINCE
ABOVE FREEZING TEMPERATURES HAVE RESULTED IN CRUSTING OVER OF MOST
SNOW COVER. LIGHT SNOW IS FORECAST TO MOVE ACROSS THE AREA AS
ANOTHER IMPULSE SWEEPS OVER NORTH DAKOTA BEFORE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS
INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS ON MONDAY MORNING. CEILINGS ARE EXPECTED TO
REMAIN IN VFR CATEGORY FOR THE MOST PART...BUT SOME MVFR CEILINGS
COULD BE OBSERVED DURING THE STRONGEST SNOW SHOWERS.
