AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BISMARCK ND
343 AM CST FRI DEC 30 2011

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY AFTERNOON...

FORECAST HIGHLIGHTS IN THE SHORT TERM PERIOD WILL BE LINGERING
PRECIPITATION THIS MORNING...ANOTHER ROUND OF RAIN/FREEZING RAIN
TONIGHT INTO SATURDAY MORNING...THEN STRONG WINDS DEVELOPING
SATURDAY AFTERNOON. AN OVERALL BLEND OF MODELS WAS USED.

CURRENTLY...STRONG CLIPPER SYSTEM CONTINUES TO PUSH SOUTHEAST ACROSS
THE EASTERN DAKOTAS...NOW CENTERED NEAR SOUTHEASTERN ND/NORTHEASTERN
SD. WRAP AROUND/TROWAL INDUCED PRECIPITATION CONTINUES TO WIND DOWN.
BY 12Z THIS MORNING ONLY EXPECTING LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS/FLURRIES OVER
PORTIONS OF MY EASTERN CWA. THUS WILL EXPIRE THE WINTER WEATHER
ADVISORY PRODUCT WITH THIS FORECAST ISSUANCE. WITH GRADIENT FORCING
WEAKENING AS THE SFC LOW MOVES MORE INTO SOUTHERN MN/NORTHERN
IOWA...WILL ALSO EXPIRE THE WIND ADVISORY WITH THIS ISSUANCE.

EXTENSIVE STRATUS LOOKS TO LINGER OVER ALL BY SOUTHWESTERN NORTH
DAKOTA THROUGH MID MORNING. SHOULD SEE CLEARING/PARTIAL CLEARING
DEVELOPING LATE MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON TOWARDS THE NORTH AND
EAST AS WINDS TRANSITION TO MORE SOUTHWEST ALLOWING DRY AIR
ADVECTION INTO THE REGION. TEMPERATURES WILL GREATLY DEPEND ON WHERE
THE CLOUDS SCATTER OUT. CURRENTLY FORECAST HIGHS RANGE FROM NEAR 50
SOUTHWEST WHERE AMPLE SUNSHINE SHOULD OCCUR...TO THE MID/UPPER 20S
ACROSS MY FAR NORTHEAST ACROSS THE TURTLE MOUNTAIN/WESTERN DEVILS
LAKE BASIN AREA WHERE MODELS INDICATE CLOUDS TO LINGER FOR MOST OF
THE DAY.

NO BREAK IN THE ACTIVE WEATHER WITH ANOTHER S/WV TROUGH PUSHING
TOWARDS/ACROSS THE CENTRAL/NORTHERN PLAINS TONIGHT INTO SATURDAY.
INCREASING CLOUDS THIS AFTERNOON FROM WEST TO EAST ALONG AND AHEAD
OF A SFC/MID LEVEL WARM FRONT WILL THEN LEAD TO INCREASING CHANCES
FOR PRECIPITATION TONIGHT AS THE IMPULSE MOVES ACROSS THE ROCKIES.
LEANED ON A BLEND OF THE 00Z ECMWF AND REGIONAL GEM WHICH BOTH
DEPICT AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPING TONIGHT ACROSS
CENTRAL/NORTHERN SOUTH DAKOTA. THIS PLACES FRONTOGENETICAL
FORCING NORTH OF THE LOW STRETCHED FROM WEST TO EAST ACROSS NORTH
DAKOTA...WITH LIGHTER QPF/LESS FORCING FAR NORTHWEST AND FAR
SOUTHEAST. INCREASED POPS DUE TO THE MODEL AGREEMENT. WITH WAA
THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING THE THERMAL PROFILE ONCE AGAIN
SUGGESTS A RAIN/FREEZING RAIN MIX THROUGH 12/18Z SAT...WITH THE
EVENTUAL PRECIP TYPE DEPENDENT ON THE SFC AIR TEMPERATURE.
PRECIPITATION WINDS DOWN SATURDAY DAYTIME AS FORCING PUSHES SOUTH
AND EAST.

THE COMBINATION OF THE MID LEVEL TROUGH AMPLIFYING/CLOSING OFF OVER
THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES AND A BUILDING RIDGE OVER THE WESTERN CONUS
SATURDAY AFTERNOON INTO SATURDAY NIGHT RESULTS IN A VERY STRONG
PRESSURE GRADIENT DEVELOPING OVER THE DAKOTAS. WE OPTED TO ISSUE A
HIGH WIND WATCH WITH FORECAST SUSTAINED WINDS APPROACHING HIGH

NIGHT. SEE LONG TERM DISCUSSION BELOW.

SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND CONTINUING OVERNIGHT INTO SUNDAY. OVERALL
THIS WINTER PREVAILING PATTERN CONTINUES WITH STRONG RIDGING WEST
AND NORTHWEST FLOW OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS. NEXT CLIPPER SYSTEM
MOVING NORTH OF THE FORECAST AREA WILL PRODUCE A VERY TIGHT PRESSURE
GRADIENT OVER WESTERN AND CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA. 85H WINDS REACH
CRITICAL VALUES OF 55KTS AND GEOSTROPHIC WINDS EXCEED 60KTS. LAPSE
RATES PERHAPS NOT REAL STEEP BUT SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT TO GET OF
SUSTAINED 40 MPH ESPECIALLY IN HIGHER ELEVATIONS. WILL ISSUE A HIGH
WIND WATCH FOR MUCH OF WESTERN AND CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA.
PRECIPITATION WILL BE LIMITED WITH THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM TRACKING
WELL NORTH OF THE INTERNATIONAL BORDER.

RIDGING BUILDS STRONGLY OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS AFTER THE WEEKEND.
WILL NOT BE SIGNIFICANT SNOW COVER AND THICKNESS VALUES ABNORMALLY
HIGH FOR THE SEASON. HAVE PUSHED TEMPERATURES A LITTLE HIGHER THAN
THE GUIDANCE...DO NOT WISH TO GO ABOVE RECORD VALUES THIS FAR OUT
AND WILL MONITOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS FOR ADJUSTMENTS.

DRY TROUGH WILL MOVE OVER THE TOP OF THE RIDGE AND ACROSS THE
NORTHERN PLAINS MID WEEK BUT LITTLE PRECIPITATION EXPECTED

&&
