358 PM CST FRI JAN 22 2010

...ONE TWO PUNCH WINTER STORM TONIGHT THROUGH EARLY MONDAY...

.A WINTER STORM WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR ALL OF WESTERN AND 
CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA THROUGH EARLY MONDAY MORNING.

TONIGHT...THE FIRST PUNCH OF A POTENT WINTER STORM WILL AFFECT THE 
AREA. FREEZING RAIN...SLEET AND SNOW WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE
JAMES RIVER VALLEY AND FAR SOUTH CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA LATE THIS
AFTERNOON...BEFORE CHANGING TO SNOW EARLY IN THE EVENING.
ELSEWHERE...PRECIPITATION HAS ALREADY CHANGED OVER TO SNOW AND
WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE EVENING AND NIGHT.

IN REGARDS TO DEVELOPING POWER OUTAGES...ICE AND FROST FROM THE
PREVIOUS DAYS...FREEZING RAIN TODAY...AND SOUTHEAST WINDS GUSTING
TO 30 MPH HAVE CAUSED NUMEROUS POWER LINES TO FALL AND SAG...WITH
THE POTENTIAL FOR ADDITIONAL POWER LINES TO FALL ACROSS WESTERN
AND CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA THROUGH THE WEEKEND. IT SHOULD BE
NOTED...DUE TO THE NUMBER OF POWER LINES DOWN AND THE POTENTIAL
FOR MORE TO FALL THIS WEEKEND...IN ADDITION TO DETERIORATING
WEATHER CONDITIONS THROUGH MONDAY...PROLONGED POWER OUTAGES MAY
OCCUR IN SOME AREAS. PREPARATIONS SHOULD BE MADE FOR THIS
POSSIBILITY. LOCAL OFFICIALS AND LAW ENFORCEMENT ARE YOUR BEST
SOURCE OF INFORMATION REGARDING POWER OUTAGES.

ON SATURDAY...SNOW WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE NORTH. BUT...WE
EXPECT THAT A BREAK IN THE MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOWFALL WILL OCCUR
ACROSS THE SOUTH. THIS LULL IN THE STORM COULD LINGER INTO SATURDAY 
NIGHT. HOWEVER...FREEZING DRIZZLE IS POSSIBLE ACROSS THE SOUTH 
DURING THE LULL IN SNOWFALL.

THE SECOND PUNCH WILL OCCUR SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH EARLY
MONDAY...AS SNOW ENCOMPASSES ALL THE AREA AGAIN. AS THE LOW MOVES
EAST...NORTHERLY WINDS WILL INCREASE TO 40 MPH ACROSS THE AREA.
THIS WILL CREATE SIGNIFICANT BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW...WITH NEAR
BLIZZARD CONDITIONS POSSIBLE. SUCH WINDS MAY ALSO CAUSE ADDITIONAL
DOWNED POWER LINES ON SUNDAY.

TOTAL SNOW ACCUMULATIONS FROM THIS ENTIRE EVENT WILL RANGE FROM 10 
TO 15 INCHES ALONG AND NORTH OF LINE FROM TROTTERS...TO 
WASHBURN...THROUGH CARRINGTON. SOUTH OF THIS LINE 6 TO 10 INCHES
OF SNOW IS POSSIBLE.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BISMARCK ND
433 PM CST THU JAN 21 2010

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT...
MAIN FORECAST CONCERN IN THE SHORT TERM IS HOW TO HANDLE UPCOMING
HIGHLIGHTS WITH THE WEEKEND STORM. CONFIDENCE HIS FAIRLY HIGH THAT
WE WILL SEE SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL TOTALS WITH THIS SYSTEM...WITH
HEAVIEST SNOW TOTALS FROM BETWEEN MINOT AND WILLISTON...SOUTHEAST
TO NEAR JAMESTOWN. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THIS STORM WILL COME IN TWO
SEPARATE WAVES. THE FIRST WAVE WILL BEGIN IN THE SOUTHWEST FRIDAY
MORNING...BUT FOR THE MOST PART WILL AFFECT MOST OF THE CWA FRIDAY
AFTERNOON AND FRIDAY NIGHT. LOOKS TO BE STRONG WARM ADVECTION WITH
THIS SYSTEM...BUT THE DYNAMIC FORCING OF THE UPPER SYSTEM IS ALSO
STRONG. NORMALLY WITH SUCH STRONG WARM ADVECTION YOU WOULD SEE A
SIGNIFICANT RISK OF ICING. HOWEVER...THE DYNAMICS ARE STRONG
ENOUGH THAT THE THERMAL PROFILE COOLS DURING THE DAY ON FRIDAY.
WOULD THINK THAT THIS WOULD HELP BOLSTER SNOW AMOUNTS OVER
PORTIONS OF CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA. IN ADDITION...STRONG MID LEVEL
LAPSE RATES AND STRONG DYNAMIC LIFTING WITHIN THE SNOW GROWTH
ZONE...AND NEGATIVE EPV ON AREA CROSS SECTIONS...COULD DEFINITELY
LEAD TO HEAVIER BANDS OF SNOW FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND FRIDAY NIGHT.

AND THEN THE LULL. NOT SO MUCH IN THE NORTH...WHERE THE DEFORMATION
ZONE REMAINS THROUGHOUT THE EVENT...BUT THE SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH
CENTRAL. AFTER THE FIRST WAVE ENDS LATE FRIDAY NIGHT OR EARLY
SATURDAY MORNING...THERE WILL BE A BREAK IN THE ACTION SATURDAY INTO
SATURDAY NIGHT AS THE DRY SLOT LIFTS FROM THE SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH
CENTRAL...INTO EASTERN NORTH DAKOTA. UNFORTUNATELY...THE COULD BE A
SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TIME BETWEEN THE TWO WAVES. WE CONSIDERED TWO
SEPARATE PATHS...ONE WAS TO SPLIT THE CWA UP WITH PART ADVISORY AND
PART WARNING FRIDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING...THEN
CONTINUE THE WATCH SATURDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH EARLY SUNDAY MORNING.
SECOND OPTION WOULD BE TO UPGRADE THE WATCH TO A WARNING ACROSS THE
ENTIRE CWA...BUT TRY AND EMPHASIZE THAT THERE WILL BE TWO WAVES WITH
A LULL BETWEEN THE TWO. WE FOLLOWED THE SECOND PATH AND ISSUED THE
WARNING FOR THE ENTIRE CWA.

PHASE TWO...SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT. ALTHOUGH THE 12Z OPERATIONAL
GFS AND ECMWF DID NOT LOOK AS IMPRESSIVE WITH THE TROWAL SUNDAY AND
SUNDAY NIGHT...WE ARE STILL EXPECTING SOME LIGHT...AND POSSIBLY
MODERATE SNOW ON SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT. THE WINDS WILL ALSO PICK
UP AS THE SURFACE SYSTEM TRACKS TO OUR EAST. STILL LOOKS LIKE WE
COULD SEE NEAR BLIZZARD CONDITIONS AT TIMES SUNDAY AND SUNDAY
NIGHT DUE TO THE SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW.

THERE ARE ALSO SOME UNCERTAINTIES REMAINING...SOME OF THE
SREF/GEFS ENSEMBLE MEMBERS KEEP A MORE SOUTHERLY TRACK TO THE
SYSTEM. THIS MAY CUT BACK ON SNOW AMOUNTS ACROSS THE NORTH...BUT
WOULD ALSO PROBABLY REDUCE THE LULL IN THE ACTION ACROSS THE
SOUTH. WHEN ALL WAS SAID AND DONE...WE FELT THAT A WARNING WAS
WARRANTED...AND ALTHOUGH THERE WILL LIKELY BE A BREAK IN THE
ACTION...IT WOULD BE EASIER TO CONVEY TO THE PUBLIC THAN MULTIPLE
HAZARDS. IT DOES APPEAR THAT THE SOUTHWEST QUARTER WOULD BE THE
LEAST LIKELY TO REACH WARNING CRITERIA SNOWFALL....BUT THIS AREA
SHOULD HAVE THE STRONGEST WINDS SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT...WITH
SOME LIGHT SNOW. WE'LL SEE HOW IT GOES.

.LONG TERM...MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY
THE MODELS AGREE THAT AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL COVER THE ROCKIES ON
MONDAY AND A SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL COVER THE HIGH PLAINS
OF EASTERN MONTANA AND WYOMING. GUSTY WINDS ARE LIKELY ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA MONDAY MORNING ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE RECEDING
WINTER STORM...BUT THE WINDS SHOULD DIMINISH IN THE AFTERNOON. THE
MODELS DIVERGE THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE EXTENDED FORECAST...BUT
ALL AGREE THAT THE CHANCE OF PRECIP WILL BE LOW.  ALL THE MODELS
MOVE AN UPPER LEVEL LOW DOWN INTO EASTERN CANADA SWINGING COLD AIR
BACK INTO THE FORECAST AREA...BUT THE GFS MOVES THE LOW TO THE WEST
OF THE ECMWF TRACK AND CONSEQUENTLY BRINGS IN A LITTLE COLDER AIR
FOR A LONGER PERIOD.  EVEN WITH THE COLDER AIR...TEMPERATURES SHOULD
REMAIN IN THE AVERAGE RANGE THROUGH THE PERIOD.
