SCHECK

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BISMARCK ND
128 AM CDT TUE MAY 25 2010

.UPDATE...
ALREADY WINDS ARE NEAR HIGH WIND WARNING CRITERIA AS THE STRONG
SURFACE LOW LIFTS NORTH ACROSS WESTERN NORTH DAKOTA. WILL THROW
OUT A PRELIMINARY SET OF FORECAST PRODUCTS FOR THE PURPOSE OF
ISSUING A HIGH WIND WARNING NOW. ANOTHER SET OF PRODUCTS CAN BE
EXPECTED BEFORE 5 AM CDT.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 324 PM CDT MON MAY 24 2010/

SYNOPSIS...ON GOING SEVERE WEATHER WITH TORNADO WATCH CURRENTLY
IN EFFECT SOUTH CENTRAL AND EAST UNTIL 10 PM CDT. MOIST FLOW OVER
WARM FRONTAL BOUNDARY ACROSS NORTHERN SOUTH DAKOTA CREATING
FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR SEVERE STORMS SOUTH CENTRAL AND
EAST...ALSO HEAVY RAIN. AS THE SYSTEM DEPARTS TONIGHT I EXPECT
STRONG SOUTHWEST WINDS TO BE A THREAT TUESDAY. HAVE LEFT THE HIGH
WIND WATCH IN PLACE.

SHORT TERM...MADE ONLY MINOR CHANGES TO CURRENT FORECAST WITH
FLASH FLOOD WATCH CONTINUING ACROSS THE JAMES RIVER VALLEY THROUGH
THIS EVENING. POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR HEAVY RAIN WEST. FLASH FLOOD
GUIDANCE IS HIGHER THERE. WILL MENTION HEAVY RAIN SOUTH AND EAST.

AS MENTION IN THE SYNOPSIS...THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT THREAT OF
SEVERE STORMS AND TORNADOES ACROSS SOUTHERN AND EASTERN NORTH
DAKOTA. AS THE SYSTEM LIFTS OUT...THE REGION BECOMES OVERPLAYED
SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WITH SUBSIDENCE LIKELY TO MIX DOWN TO THE
SURFACE. THIS ALONG WITH GRADIENT WINDS SHOULD KEEP THE POTENTIAL
FOR HIGH WIND CRITERIA GOING TUESDAY. ALL THIS LIFTS OUT AND ENDS
TUESDAY NIGHT...LEAVING WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY QUIET.

LONG TERM...FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY...
EXTENDED PERIOD WILL BEGIN DRY FRIDAY BUT BY SATURDAY AND SUNDAY I
EXPECT AN INCREASE IN THE LIKELIHOOD FOR A WET AND WINDY PERIOD.
THIS MAY EXTEND INTO MONDAY DEPENDING ON SPEED AND TRACK OF UPPER
LEVEL FEATURES.

AVIATION...MULTIPLE HAZARDS TO AVIATION CONTINUE THIS PERIOD.
SIGNIFICANT THUNDERSTORMS WITH SEVERE POTENTIAL...(LARGE HAIL/
WINDS GRATER THAN 50KTS AND THE POTENTIAL FOR TORNADOES) EXIST
ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL AND EAST CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA. KBIS/KJMS THE
MOST LIKELY TO SEE THUNDERSTORMS AT OR IN THE VICINITY OF THE
AIRPORTS. KDIK WILL SEE IFR CIGS AS EASTERLY UPSLOPE HOLDS LOW
CLOUDS IN PLACE. THIS WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE AT KBIS.

HYDROLOGY...

MORE RAIN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MOVING THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA
WILL HAVE AN INCREASED EFFECT ON LOCAL STREAMS OVER THE NEXT FEW
DAYS.  A NUMBER OF AREAS HAVE RECORDED ALMOST TWO INCHES OF RAIN
FROM THE PAST WEEKEND THROUGH MONDAY MORNING.  THIS HAS LIKELY
CREATED SOME VERY LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING OF SMALL STREAMS AND
DRAINAGES...BUT HAS NOT CREATED FLOODING OF THE BIGGER RIVERS AND
STREAMS.  THIS PATTERN WILL CONTINUE THROUGH LATE MONDAY AS
MORE...AND POSSIBLY EVEN STRONGER...THUNDERSTORMS PASS THROUGH
SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA.  EVEN WITH THE RECENT WET WEATHER
AND INCOMING RAINS...THE BIGGER RIVERS AND STREAMS ARE STILL
UNLIKELY TO EXPERIENCE WIDESPREAD FLOODING ALTHOUGH HIGHER WATER
WILL BECOME MORE NOTED IN MANY AREAS.

THE LOWER JAMES RIVER NEAR LUDDEN CURRENTLY HAS A STAGE OF 13.4 FEET
AND IS THE ONLY RIVER CURRENTLY ABOVE FLOOD STAGE IN THE BISMARCK
FORECAST AREA.  WHILE THE LOWER JAMES WILL RISE SLIGHTLY OVER THE
NEXT FEW DAYS...IT WILL NOT LIKELY REACH THE MODERATE FLOOD STAGE OF
14 FEET.

.BIS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
