AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND FORKS ND
244 AM CDT TUE OCT 26 2010

.DISCUSSION....DISCUSSION...FORECAST CHALLENGES CONCERN HEADLINES WITH STRONG
STORM SYSTEM. MODELS COMING INTO FAIRLY CLOSE AGREEMENT WITH ONLY
MINOR THERMAL DIFFERENCES. NAM LOOKS HAVE BEST HANDLE ON SURFACE
FEATURES AND WILL USE FOR DETAILS.

MAIN CONCERN WILL BE WIND POTENTIAL AND TIMING OF SNOW INITIATION
AND AMOUNTS.

EARLY THIS AM TWIN SURFACE LOW PRESSURE CENTERS NEAR GFK AND
ACROSS SW MN S OF AXN. STRONGEST MSAS PRESSURE FALLS SUPPORT MODEL
TRENDS WITH SW MN LOW BECOMING MAIN FEATURE AS IT LIFTS NORTHWARD
TO MN/ONTARIO BORDER AREA BY THIS EVENING. FAIRLY WIDESPREAD LIGHT
TO MODERATE RAIN CONTINUES ACROSS FA IN ZONE OF LOW LEVEL
CONVERGENCE WITH SURFACE BOUNDARY AND FRONTOGENETIC FORCING. MAIN
MOISTURE TRANSPORT ACROSS MN AND DURING DAY FRONTOGENETIC FORCING
LIFTS NORTHWARD. WILL OVERALL MAINTAIN HIGHER POPS ACROSS ENTIRE
FA AND CAN BE ADJUSTED DURING DAY. OVERALL COOLING OF COLUMN WILL SEE
TEMPERATURES GOING NOW WHERE OR SLOWLY FALLING DURING DAY. MAIN
CONCERN IS SNOW POTENTIAL AND WIND. AS SURFACE LOW DEEPENS WIND
WILL STRENGTHEN WITH HIGH WIND WARNING CRITERIA A GOOD BE WEST OF
VALLEY. WITHIN VALLEY CONFIDENCE NOT AS HIGH WITH WESTERLY FLOW
AND WIND DIRECTION UNLINKED THROUGH COLUMN. FOR THIS WILL
TRANSITION HIGH WIND WATCH TO AN ADVISORY. MODEL SOUNDINGS SUPPORT
CHANGE OVER TO SNOW ACROSS DVL BASIN LATE AFTERNOON AS 925 MB
TEMPERATURES DROP BLO ZERO. WITH FRONTOGENETIC FORCING SHIFTING
OVER THIS AREA COULD SEE SOME HEAVY SNOW BANDS DEVELOPING. THIS
COMBINED WITH WIND WILL LIKELY REDUCE VSBY SUFFICIENTLY TO WARRANT
UPGRADE TO BLIZZARD WARNING.

CONCERNS TONIGHT AS TO HOW FAR EAST CHANGE OVER TO SNOW WILL OCCUR
AS MODELS DIFFER ON HOW MUCH LOW LEVEL WARM AIR GETS WRAPPED
AROUND SYSTEM. STILL TIME TO HASH THIS OUT AS ANY EASTWARD SNOW
TRANSITION NOT LIKELY TO OCCUR UNTIL LATER TONIGHT. FOR THIS WILL
LEAVE WATCH GOING.

WEDNESDAY AM COMMUTE WILL LIKELY BE A MESS AS STRONG WINDS WILL
COMBINE WITH SNOWFALL WITH SOME DEGREE OF HEADLINES WARRANTED AT
LEAST FOR AREAS NORTH OF I94. A COLUMN CONTINUES TO COOL TEMPERATURES
WILL HOLD STEADY AT BEST WITH SNOW CONTINUING ACROSS ENTIRE FA.

SNOW AND WIND WILL WIND DOWN DURING THE EVENING AS THE STACKED
SYSTEM SHIFTS EAST.

IMPROVING CONDITIONS TO FINISH OFF WORK WEEK WITH DIMINISHING WIND
AND WARMING COLUMN. WEAK COLD FRONT DROPS THROUGH FA FRIDAY NIGHT
BUT FOR NOW WILL KEEP FORECAST DRY. NO OTHER MAJOR CHANGES TO LONG
RANGE.
