AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND FORKS ND
1206 PM CDT SUN MAR 22 2009

.DISCUSSION...
UPPER LEVEL RIDGE EXTENDED FROM NORTHERN MB TO THE SOUTHERN PLAINS.
UPPER RIDGE WILL SHIFT EAST INTO EASTERN MN AND WESTERN WI THIS
AFTERNOON. ECMWF WAS THE SLOWEST OF THE NAM...GFS AND CANADIAN
MODELS. NAM APPEARS TO HAVE INITIALIZED BEST WITH LOW LEVEL THERMAL
FIELD. USE USE THE NAM FOR UPDATE. WATER VAPOR LOOP SHOWING NOSE OF
UPPER LEVEL JET WAS PUNCHING INTO EASTERN WY AND IS FORECAST TO MOVE
INTO THE WESTERN DAKOTAS THIS AFTERNOON.

SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE WESTERN AND CENTRAL DAKOTAS WERE
OCCURRING IN THE 700 HPA THETA-E RIDGE OR GRADIENT. STORMS HAVE BEEN
MOVING NORTH OR NORTH NORTHEAST. 700 HPA THETA-E RIDGE SHIFT INTO
EASTERN ND THIS AFTERNOON AND WILL CONTINUE EAST TONIGHT AND MON.
PRECIPITABLE WATER RISES TO OVER AN INCH IN THE SOUTHERN RED RIVER
VALLEY BY LATE AFTERNOON. PRESSURE GRADIENT TO REMAIN UP FOR
TONIGHT. WILL EXTEND WIND UNTIL 12Z MON. OTHERWISE GOING FORECAST
GENERALLY LOOKS GOOD. WILL TWEAK TEMPS.

&&

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION.../ISSUED 315 AM CDT SUN MAR 22 2009/
FORECAST CHALLENGE CONCERNS SHORT TERM
WIND/TEMPERATURES AND THEN MAIN PCPN EVENT STARTING TONIGHT. MODELS
IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT ALTHOUGH WILL BASE FORECAST ON SLIGHTLY
SLOWER MORE CONSISTENT ECMWF.

BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE OVER N ROCKIES TO BECOME BETTER ORGANIZED
AND SHIFT EASTWARD INTO NORTHERN HIGH PLAINS TONIGHT. INITIAL
CONCERN IS T AS ISOLATED CONVECTION DEVELOPING OVER DVL BASIN NOT
VERY WELL HANDLED BY MODELS AS FAVORED ELEVATED INSTABILITY AND CAPE
WELL TO OUR WEST. SOME CELLS QUITE STRONG CONSIDERING AND WILL
MAINTAIN T MENTION. LOW LEVEL THERMAL RIDGE SHIFTS OVER FA TODAY BUT
SOLAR LOOKS FILTERED AT BEST ALONG WITH LESS FAVORABLE SFC SE FLOW.
WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES AT OR ON LOW SIDE OF NUMERICAL GUIDANCE. WIND
ALSO A CONCERN THIS AFTERNOON WITH TIGHTENING GRADIENT. MODELS
SHOWING A GOOD 30KTS THROUGH SHALLOW MIXED LAYER THIS AFTERNOON AND
WILL ISSUE WIND ADVISORY.

UPPER RIDGE SHIFTS EAST TONIGHT SETTING UP SW FLOW ALOFT. LOW LEVEL
JET AND WARM ADVECTION MAXIMA CURRENTLY TO OUR WEST SHIFTS EAST
ACROSS FA TONIGHT.  CONDENSATION PRESSURE DEFICITS LOWER AND COUPLED
WITH SHORTWAVE LIFTING THROUGH FA WILL SEE EXPANDING AREA OF
RAIN/ISOLD THUNDER SPREADING ACROSS FA. WITH +3-4 STANDARD DEVIATION
OF PRECIPITABLE H20 AND ELEVATED INSTABILITY COULD SEE SOME HEAVY
RAIN.

MOST CONCENTRATED AREA OF RAIN SHOULD BE EAST OF VALLEY MONDAY
MORNING AS LOW LEVEL JET SHIFTS EAST AND WAVE LIFTS NE. WITH
INVERTED SFC TROUGH IN PLACE WILL MAINTAIN HIGHER LEVEL POPS
ALTHOUGH SHOULD BE A BREAK IN HEAVIER RAIN.

MAIN LOW LIFTS OUT MONDAY/TUESDAY. WILL NOT MAKE A LOT OF CHANGES AS
ANY SLIGHT DEVIATION OF LOW TRACK WILL HAVE BIG IMPLICATIONS ON
HEAVY RAIN/SNOW POTENTIAL. USING SLOWER ECMWF DOES LOOK LIKE BEST
POTENTIAL FOR SNOW WILL BE OVER NW FA TUESDAY. THIS AREA WILL NEED
TO BE MONITORED FOR POTENTIAL WINTER WX HEADLINES.

PCPN SHOULD WIND DOWN FROM WEST TO EAST WEDNESDAY TO BE FOLLOWED BY
COOL DOWN WHICH MAY EASE RUNOFF.
