AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND FORKS ND
235 PM CDT TUE OCT 26 2010
.SHORT TERM...
RECORD BREAKING LOW PRESSURE CYCLONE CONTINUES TO DEEPEN...WITH A
958MB LOW NEAR EVELETH MN THIS AFTERNOON. DEFORMATION RAIN BAND
CONTINUES TO DEVELOP...WITH A TIGHT THERMAL GRADIENT FROM NE TO
SW. IT IS CURRENTLY IN THE MID 50S NEAR HCO...WITH MID 30S
ADVECTING INTO THE DVL BASIN AND SOUTHERN FORECAST AREA. MODEL ARE
IN GOOD AGREEMENT...WITH THE NAM THE COLDEST MODEL...AND PREFER
THE SLIGHTLY WARMER GFS THAT IS VERIFYING LOW LEVEL THERMAL FIELDS BETTER.
FOR TONIGHT...LOW WILL CONTINUE TO SLOWLY DEEPEN AND BOTTOM OUT
AROUND 955MB JUST EAST OF BDE. EXPECT MODERATE RAIN TO CONTINUE
NEAR THE LOW...WITH RAIN CHANGING TO SNOW IN THE DEVILS LAKE BASIN
TO AROUND FARGO TO PKD AND POINTS SOUTH. THE CHANGE OVER WILL TAKE
SOME TIME FROM GFK AND POINTS NORTH. WINDS WILL REACH INTO HIGH
WIND WARNING CRITERIA FOR THE GFK AREA TO THE NORTH...SO WILL
ISSUE HIGH WIND WARNING HERE. WITH SNOW EXPECTED NEAR FARGO TO
WADENA COUNTY...WILL ISSUE A WINTER STORM WARNING HERE...WITH
BLIZZARD LIKE CONDITIONS POSSIBLE BY THE WED MORNING RUSH HOUR.
WE WILL KEEP THE BLIZZARD WARNING FOR THE DEVILS LAKE BASIN...WITH
BLIZZARD CONDITIONS EXPECTED WHEN SNOW COMBINES WITH STRONG WINDS
GUSTING TO NEAR 60 MPH AT TIMES.
FOR WED...THE COLUMN SHOULD COOL SUFFICIENTLY FOR ALL AREAS TO BE
SNOW AROUND OR SHORTLY AFTER 12Z WED. THEREFORE...WILL CONTINUE
WITH WINTER WEATHER HEADLINES AND TRANSITION HIGH WIND WARNING FOR
GFK AREA TO A WINTER STORM WARNING. SNOW TOTALS WILL VARY
GREATLY...WITH 6 INCHES OR MORE POSSIBLE FROM DVL TO NEAR FARGO TO
FFM...AND LIGHTER AMOUNTS TO THE NORTH. THERE MAY ONLY BE AN INCH
OR 2 NEAR GFK AND LITTLE ACCUMULATION AROUND BDE WHERE WARM AIR
WILL HANG ON THE LONGEST. WINDS WILL LINK UP TO NEAR 850 MB WITH
60-65KT TO MIX BY AFTERNOON...SO EXPECT EXTREMELY WINDY
CONDITIONS...WHEN COMBINED WITH FALLING SNOW TO PRODUCE NEAR
BLIZZARD CONDITIONS ALONG AND WEST OF THE VALLEY.
ON WED NIGHT...STORM SHOULD SLOWLY WIND DOWN AND PULL AWAY FROM
THE REGION. HAVE ENDED ALL HEADLINES AT 00Z THU...BUT WE MAY HAVE
TO EXTEND SOME SORT OF ADVISORY INTO WED EVENING...AND WILL
ADDRESS THIS ISSUE LATER.
FOR THU/FRI...EXPECT A FEW DRY AND COOL DAYS WITH HIGH PRESSURE
MOVING INTO THE AREA...AND SLIDING TO THE EAST ON FRIDAY.
.LONG TERM [FRIDAY NIGHT - MONDAY]...
THE MODELS ARE IN DECENT AGREEMENT IN THE LONG TERM...GENERALLY
INDICATING DRY AND MILD WEATHER WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES NEAR THE
NORMAL MID TO UPPER 40S.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
MORNING PRECIPITATION REPORTS COMING INTO THE GRAND FORKS NWS
OFFICE INDICATED A GOOD ONE INCH RAINFALL OVER MOST OF THE AREA.
SLIGHTLY LOWER AMOUNTS TO THE WEST OF DEVILS LAKE AND A BIT HIGHER
AMOUNTS IN THE NORTHERN RED RIVER VALLEY. EXPECT TO AT LEAST DOUBLE
THOSE AMOUNTS IN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IN A LOT OF AREAS SO RUNOFF WILL
START TO AFFECT SOME AREA RIVERS. QUESTION IS HOW FAST ANY RUNOFF
WILL OCCUR WITH SOME COLD MORNING LOWS OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.
DAYTIME HIGHS WILL BE WARM ENOUGH BUT THE RUNOFF SHOULD SLOW DOWN AT
NIGHT AS TEMPS FALL BELOW FREEZING. CURRENT MODELS PUSH HALLOCK AND
DILWORTH OVER FLOOD STAGE AND A FEW MORE RIVER POINTS TO ACTION
STAGE.
&&
.AVIATION...
A VERY STRONG OCTOBER STORM SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE TO AFFECT THE
NORTHERN PLAINS THROUGH THE TAF FORECAST PERIOD AND BEYOND. MUCH OF
THE DEVILS LAKE REGION...RED RIVER VALLEY...SOUTHEASTERN NORTH
DAKOTA...AND WEST CENTRAL MINNESOTA WILL EXPERIENCE VERY GUSTY WINDS
WITH GUSTS APPROACHING 60 MPH AT TIMES. THE WINDS ACROSS NORTHERN
MINNESOTA...INCLUDING BJI...WILL NOT BE AS STRONG DUE TO ITS
PROXIMITY TO THE LOW PRESSURE CENTER. THE COMBINATION OF THE
WIDESPREAD RAIN AND THE GUSTY WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO OCCASIONALLY
REDUCE VIS TO MVFR. LIFR/MFVR CEILINGS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE TAF
FORECAST PERIOD. THE SYSTEM IS USHERING COLDER AIR INTO EASTERN
NORTH DAKOTA...THE SOUTHERN VALLEY...AND WEST CENTRAL
MINNESOTA...AND RAIN WILL BEGIN TO CHANGE OVER TO SNOW LATE THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. WARM AIR...HOWEVER...WILL LIKELY HANG AROUND
ACROSS NORTHERN MINNESOTA THROUGH MUCH OF TONIGHT...SO THE CHANGE
OVER TO SNOW MAY NOT OCCUR UNTIL TOMORROW MORNING. THE COMBINATION
OF THE SNOW AND WINDS WILL RESULT IN BLOWING SNOW AND GREATLY
REDUCED VISIBILITY...ESPECIALLY AT DVL WHERE BLIZZARD CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECTED THROUGH AT LEAST WEDNESDAY MORNING.
