AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND FORKS ND
254 AM CDT TUE JUN 22 2010

.DISCUSSION...

A COMPLEX WEATHER PATTERN IS EXPECTED TODAY...WITH DEEP CONVECTION
AND SEVERE WEATHER POSSIBLE TODAY. A SEVERE MCS CONTINUES TO MOVE
INTO CENTRAL ND...AND WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE INTO OUR FORECAST AREA
LATER TONIGHT. THEREFORE...WILL MAKE THIS DISCUSSION FAIRLY BRIEF
TO PREPARE FOR POTENTIAL SEVERE WEATHER EARLY THIS MORNING.

FOR TODAY...A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE STORMS IS FORECAST FOR THE
ENTIRE REGION. THEREFORE...EXPECT POSSIBLE SEVERE WEATHER THIS
MORNING FROM THE MCS MOVING IN FROM THE WEST. THERE IS ANOTHER
THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER LATER THIS AFTERNOON WITH MLCAPES TO
3000 J/KG IN THE SOUTH AND STRONG DEEP LAYERED SHEAR AROUND 50KT.
THEREFORE...ALL MODES OF SEVERE WEATHER POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON
INCLUDING TORNADOES. HEAVY RAIN WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE AND WILL
MAINTAIN THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH UNTIL 00Z...WITH THE BEST THREAT
FOR FLASH FLOODING IN EASTERN NORTH DAKOTA...ESPECIALLY THE DEVILS
LAKE BASING THAT GOT INUNDATED LAST NIGHT WITH VERY HEAVY RAIN.

FOR TONIGHT...EXPECT EVENING STORMS TO SLOWLY DISSIPATE AND MOVE
TO THE EAST. THERE COULD BE SOME THUNDER THROUGH THE NIGHT...BUT
ACTIVITY SHOULD BECOME SPOTTY AFTER 06Z.

FOR WED...THE NAM IS MORE BULLISH WITH A NW FLOW SEVERE WEATHER
EVENT POSSIBLE. THE GFS WOULD HAVE LITTLE CHANCE FOR CONVECTION.
WILL MAINTAIN CHANCE POPS FOR THUNDER THOUGH GIVEN THE ACTIVE
PATTERN AND A SHORTWAVE THAT WILL MOVE THROUGH BY AFTERNOON.

FOR THU...EXPECT A DRY DAY WITH RETURN FLOW DEVELOPING BY
AFTERNOON AND TEMPS NEAR NORMAL.

ON FRIDAY...THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR ANOTHER SEVERE WEATHER
EPISODE. THE GFS IS PAINTING A SFC LOW MOVING INTO SE ND FRI
AFTERNOON. THIS SYSTEM WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY VERY STRONG
INSTABILITY AND DEEP LAYERED SHEAR. THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR
ANOTHER VERY ACTIVE DAY WITH SEVERE WEATHER POSSIBLE.

&&

.AVIATION...

A BAND OF IFR CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST EARLY THIS MORNING IN THE
NORTH BEFORE DISSIPATING AFTER 12Z. A LINE OF CONVECTION SHOULD
MOVE INTO MOST TAF SITES THIS MORNING AND THUNDER MAY RE-DEVELOP
ONCE AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON.
