What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this river flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Grand Forks, ND wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Oct 30, 4:24 AM CDT, 6 hours 6 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Oct 30, 4:24 AM CDT, 6 hours 6 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND FORKS ND 424 AM CDT FRI OCT 30 2009 .DISCUSSION... CHALLENGES FOR THE FORECAST INCLUDE PRECIP COVERAGE AND TIMING OF CHANGE OVER TO SNOW TODAY. THEN IF DURATION AND INTENSITY OF SNOW WILL BE LONG OR STRONG ENOUGH TO PRODUCE SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATIONS. MODELS IN THE GOOD AGREEMENT WITH PLACEMENT OF THE SFC LOW AT 06Z AND ITS TRACK INTO THE MINNESOTA ARROWHEAD BY 18Z. USED A MODEL BLEND FOR THE FORECAST PACKAGE. AS THE SFC LOW MOVES ACROSS MINNESOTA EXPECTING SOME DYNAMICAL COOLING TO OCCUR AS STRONG DEFORMATION BAND OF PRECIP DEVELOPS FROM SW TO NE ACROSS THE FA. MODEL THERMAL PROFILES INDICATE ON THE FAR WESTERN EDGE OF THE QPF FIELDS THAT THE PRECIP TYPE WILL BE SNOW AND THIS MATCHES THE UPSTREAM OBS OF SNOW IN PORTIONS OF SD AND NE. EXPECT THIS BAND TO TRAVERSE FROM THE LISBON TO FARGO TO FOSSTON TO BAUDETTE AREAS TODAY. GIVEN THAT THE CURRENT TEMPS ARE IN THE UPPER 30S IN SE ND AND 40S IN MN AND THAT THE HEAVIEST PRECIP TO OCCUR DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS ON RELATIVELY WARM GROUND THINKING THAT THE SNOW THAT DOES FALL WILL MOSTLY MELT BEFORE PREVENTING SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATIONS TO OCCUR. IF CHANGEOVER OCCURS SOONER AND INTENSITY IS STRONG ENOUGH TO OVERCOME MELTING ON IMPACT THEN HEAVIEST SNOW LOCATIONS MAY NEED TO BE UPGRADED TO A WNTR WX ADVSY AS 3 INCHES AND WIND WOULD BE POSSIBLE. THE SYSTEM CONTINUES TO BE PROGRESSIVE AS MODELS INDICATE LITTLE PRECIP LINGERING OVERNIGHT ALONG MY FAR EAST. CLOUDY WITH NW WINDS IN CYCLONIC FLOW ON SATURDAY. THICKNESSES RISING AS 500MB FLOW BECOMES MORE ZONAL...HELPING MAX TEMPS ON SATURDAY TO REBOUND INTO THE 40S. A WEAK CLIPPER SYSTEM TO MOVE ACROSS SOUTHERN MANITOBA ON SUNDAY MORNING.
