PJA

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BISMARCK ND
405 AM CST WED DEC 29 2010

.SYNOPSIS...DEEP LOW PRESSURE OVER HUDSON BAY WITH DEVELOPING TROUGH
IN THE LEE OF THE ROCKIES AS THE ANTICIPATED LONGWAVE TROUGH OVER
THE WEST COAST EXPANDS EASTWARD AND MOVES ACROSS THE ROCKIES.

&&

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT...

THE MAIN CONCERN FOR THIS SHORT TERM PERIOD IS THE DEVELOPING STORM
AND THE WINTER STORM WATCH THAT IS CURRENTLY IN EFFECT FOR TONIGHT
THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT.

USED A BLEND OF THE MODELS WHICH ARE IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT...WITH
AN EMPHASIS ON THE GFS AND ECMWF WHICH LOOK REMARKABLY SIMILAR.

THE INITIAL ENERGY FROM THE LEADING EDGE OF THE UPPER LEVEL
SHORTWAVES IS FORECAST TO ENTER WESTERN NORTH DAKOTA LATE THIS
MORNING...WITH STRONG ISENTROPIC LIFT AND VERY STRONG FRONTOGENETIC
FORCING...AND EXPECTING ACCUMULATING SNOW TO BEGIN THIS AFTERNOON
FOR NORTHWESTERN NORTH DAKOTA. MODEL ESTIMATES/BLENDS RESULT IN 1 TO
2 INCH ACCUMULATIONS IN THE NORTHWEST THIS AFTERNOON. A MORE POTENT
SHORTWAVE IMPULSE MOVES IN TONIGHT AND THE FRONTOGENETIC FORCING
REMAINS QUITE STRONG - OVER NORTHWEST AND NORTH CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA
THIS WEDNESDAY EVENING...THEN SHIFTING TO NORTH CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA
AFTER MIDNIGHT.

MEANWHILE AT THE SURFACE A LOW IS FORECAST TO DEVELOP QUICKLY IN THE
LEE OF THE ROCKIES WITH A TROUGH EXTENDING FROM THE LOW STRETCHING
FROM THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF NORTH DAKOTA TO BETWEEN DEVILS LAKE AND
JAMESTOWN. THE FRONTOGENETIC FORCING MENTIONED ABOVE WILL TAKE PLACE
MAINLY NORTH OF THE SURFACE TROUGH. TONIGHT THE LOW MOVES ACROSS
SOUTH DAKOTA AND THEN DEVELOPS FARTHER SOUTH INTO NEBRASKA/KANSAS BY
THURSDAY MORNING. THE INVERTED TROUGH DEVELOPS/MOVES QUICKLY INTO
WESTERN MINNESOTA. THE SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENTS STRENGTHEN DURING
THE DAY TODAY...AND REMAIN QUITE STRONG THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT.

THUS WILL UPGRADE THE NORTHERN COUNTIES TO A WINTER STORM WARNING.
WILL BEGIN THE WARNING FOR DIVIDE/WILLIAMS/MCKENZIE COUNTIES THIS
AFTERNOON...WITH THE REST OF NORTH CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA BEGINNING
TONIGHT. WILL KEEP THE SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH CENTRAL IN THE WINTER
STORM WATCH SINCE WORSENING CONDITIONS ARE NOT EXPECTED UNTIL LATER
TONIGHT. WILL LET THE DAY SHIFT FINE-TUNE ANY WARNINGS OR ADVISORIES
FOR THE SOUTHERN COUNTIES FOR TONIGHT.

TO SUMMARIZE...EXPECTING DEVELOPING SNOW TO BEGIN IN THE
NORTHWEST THIS AFTERNOON AND INCREASE IN INTENSITY TONIGHT AS IT
SPREADS INTO THE NORTH CENTRAL. WHILE HEAVY SNOWS ARE ACCUMULATING
IN THE NORTH TONIGHT...LIGHT TO MODERATE AMOUNTS WILL DEVELOP IN THE
SOUTH TONIGHT. ON THURSDAY THE NORTH WILL SEE LIGHT SNOW
ACCUMULATIONS...WHILE THE SOUTHERN COUNTIES SHOULD BE RECEIVING
MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW AMOUNTS. BY THURSDAY NIGHT LIGHT SNOW IS
EXPECTED...WITH THE JAMES RIVER BASIN POSSIBLY CONTINUING RECEIVING
MODERATE AMOUNTS. IN ADDITION TO THE SNOW...STRONG WINDS OF 15 TO 30
MPH WILL CREATE BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW ACROSS ALL OF WESTERN AND
CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT. THUS EVEN
THOUGH SNOWFALL MAY END IN THE NORTHWEST LATE ON THURSDAY...BLOWING
AND DRIFTING SNOW WILL REMAIN A HAZARD. SOME AREAS IN OPEN COUNTRY
MAY SEE NEAR BLIZZARD CONDITIONS AT TIMES. ALSO TEMPERATURES WILL BE
PLUMMETING BEGINNING THIS AFTERNOON IN THE NORTH AND STATEWIDE
TONIGHT...AND WIND CHILLS OF 20 TO 30 BELOW WILL ALSO BE A THREAT.

.LONG TERM...FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...

THE MAIN FORECAST CONCERN FOR THE EXTENDED PERIOD WILL BE THE SNOW
CHANCES AND SNOW AMOUNTS FOR FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY NIGHT. THE 00Z
MEDIUM RANGE MODELS CONTINUE TO PROG A SHORTWAVE TO LIFT ACROSS THE
NORTHERN PLAINS FRIDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT. THE LATEST RUNS OF THE
GFS/ECWMF/GEM ARE NOW SLIGHTLY FARTHER EAST WITH THE PLACEMENT OF
THIS FEATURE. THEREFORE THE FOCUS FOR THE HEAVIEST SNOWFALL HAS
SHIFTED SLIGHTLY FARTHER EAST RELATIVE TO THE PREVIOUS FORECAST. THE
UPPER LEVEL ENERGY ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SECOND ROUND OF SNOW IS FAR
GREATER THAN THE AVAILABLE ENERGY ASSOCIATED WITH THE SNOWFALL IN
THE SHORT TERM PERIOD. FURTHERMORE...THE 00Z GFS/ECWMF/GEM ARE
CONSISTENT WITH THE SYNOPTIC FEATURES AND PROG DEEP LAYER Q-VECTOR
CONVERGENCE TO MOVE ACROSS THE EASTERN PORTIONS OF NORTH
DAKOTA...ENHANCING SYNOPTIC ASCENT. THE LATEST MEDIUM RANGE MODELS
ALSO SET UP A TROWAL AXIS (USING THE 500MB THETA-E FIELDS AS A
PROXY) OVER THE BIS/FGF CWA BOUNDARY 06Z SATURDAY. THIS FEATURE
COMBINED WITH THE SYNOPTIC ASCENT ALREADY IN PLACE WILL INCREASE THE
POTENTIAL FOR A HEAVY BANDED SNOWFALL EVENT...PRIMARILY AFFECTING
THE AREAS ALONG AND EAST OF A WELLS TO KIDDER TO LOGAN TO MCINTOSH
COUNTY LINE INTO THE JAMESTOWN AREA. WINDY CONDITIONS WESTERN AND
CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA SHOULD ALSO GENERATE BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW
AND POSSIBLE BLIZZARD CONDITIONS. STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION COMBINED
WITH THE WINDY CONDITIONS ALSO HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO GENERATE WIND
CHILLS OF -25F AND BELOW FRIDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT. FOR NOW WILL
HOLD OFF ISSUING A WINTER STORM WATCH FOR THE AFFECTED AREAS TO
AVOID CONFUSION WITH THE CURRENT HAZARD PRODUCTS IN EFFECT.
FURTHERMORE...THERE IS STILL A BIT OF UNCERTAINTY WITH THE TRACK OF
THE SHORTWAVE AS THE RECENT MODEL TRENDS HAVE BEEN PUSHING THIS
FEATURE SLIGHTLY EASTWARD. THIS TREND MAY CONTINUE AS THE EVENT
UNFOLDS.

THE SNOW CHANCES SHOULD TAPER OFF BY SATURDAY AS THE SHORTWAVE
EXITS NORTHEAST INTO ONTARIO. A PROGRESSIVE PATTERN SHOULD SET UP IN
IN ITS WAKE OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE
EXTENDED. THE LATEST MEDIUM RANGE MODEL SOLUTIONS DIFFER WITH
RESPECT TO THE TIMING AND STRENGTH OF THE NEXT SHORTWAVE EXPECTED TO
AFFECT THE REGION EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE GEM/ECMWF ARE MORE
PROGRESSIVE WITH THE NEXT SYSTEM WHEREAS THE LATEST GFS IS ABOUT 24
HOURS SLOWER WITH THE NEXT SHORTWAVE. GIVEN THE MODEL TO MODEL
INCONSISTENCIES...BROADBRUSHED A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR SNOW ACROSS THE
NORTHERN CWA FOR THE SUNDAY-MONDAY PERIOD. AS THE SHORTWAVE EXITS
THE REGION...DRY CONDITIONS SHOULD DEVELOP BY TUESDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...

VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD PREVAIL ACROSS THE NORTH DAKOTA
TERMINAL AERODROMES THROUGH 18Z WEDNESDAY. CONDITIONS ACROSS
NORTHERN NORTH DAKOTA (KISN-KMOT) SHOULD RAPIDLY DETERIORATE TO
IFR/TEMPO LIFR CIGS AND VSBYS AFTER 18Z WEDNESDAY AS AN UPPER LEVEL
DISTURBANCE MOVES OVER THE REGION AND GENERATES -SN. CONDITIONS OVER
THE TERMINAL AERODROMES ALONG THE I-94 CORRIDOR SHOULD DETERIORATE
TO MVFR CIGS/VSBYS THIS AFTERNOON...AND SHOULD CONTINUE TO
DETERIORATE TO IFR/LIFR CONDITIONS OVERNIGHT. WINDS WILL ALSO SHIFT
NORTHEASTERLY THROUGH THE PERIOD AND INCREASE TO 15-20 KNOTS
SUSTAINED WITH HIGHER GUSTS WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

&&

.BIS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
WINTER STORM WATCH FROM THIS EVENING THROUGH LATE THURSDAY NIGHT
FOR NDZ019-020-022-023-025-031>037-040>048-050-051.
