Area forecast discussion, Aug 5, 1:45 PM MDT, 3 hours 34 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BISMARCK ND
245 PM CDT FRI AUG 5 2011

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT...

MAJOR FORECAST CONCERN WILL BE THUNDERSTORMS CHANCES...SOME
SEVERE...AND THE POSSIBILITY OF HEAVY RAINFALL THIS EVENING AND
TONIGHT. MODELS ARE IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT...BUT DIFFER IN A FEW
KEY AREAS...SO HAVE TRENDED TOWARDS THE MORE CONSISTENT ECMWF
SOLUTION. FLASH FLOOD WATCH CONTINUES THROUGH TONIGHT DUE TO THE
POTENTIAL OF HEAVY RAINFALL AMOUNTS OVER NEARLY SATURATED AREAS.

CURRENTLY...DOMINANT SUBTROPICAL RIDGING REMAINS IN PLACE OVER THE
SOUTHEASTERN CONUS...WHILE A LARGE LOW IS SLOWLY MAKING ITS WAY
ACROSS NORTHERN CANADA. THE RESULT IS NEARLY ZONAL FLOW ACROSS THE
NORTHERN PLAINS...THROUGH WHICH A FEW SHORTWAVES ARE TRAVERSING
ACROSS THE REGION. MEANWHILE...A NEARLY STATIONARY FRONT REMAINS
DRAPED EAST TO WEST ACROSS THE CENTER OF THE STATE . THESE IMPULSES
HAVE BEEN PRODUCING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ALONG THE FRONT
TODAY...AND WILL LIKELY CONTINUE THROUGH THE EVENING UNTIL THE MAIN
SHORTWAVE TROUGH APPROACHES THE CWA THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

THE TROUGH...ACTING IN CONJUNCTION WITH A DEVELOPING SURFACE LOW AND
VARIOUS BOUNDARIES...IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS...AND PUSH THEM THROUGH THE STATE OVER THE NEXT
SEVERAL HOURS. THIS WILL CAUSE THE STORMS NOW RESIDING ALONG THE
FRONT TO BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD ACROSS THE ENTIRE STATE.
HOWEVER...THE FRONT WILL STILL REMAIN THE FOCUS FOR SURFACE
CONVERGENCE...AND THEREFORE WILL MARK THE AREA OF THE BEST CHANCES
FRO STRONGER STORMS AND HEAVIER RAINFALL. WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER
AMOUNTS APPROACHING 2 INCHES OVER THE CWA THIS EVENING AND
TONIGHT...HEAVY RAINFALL IS POSSIBLE THROUGHOUT THE REGION...AND
WIDESPREAD AREAS 1 TO 2 INCHES OF STORM TOTAL PRECIPITATION ARE NOT
OUT OF THE QUESTION. DUE TO THE POTENCY OF THIS WAVE...AND THE
BUILDING INSTABILITY...SOME THUNDERSTORMS COULD GO SEVERE...WITH THE
LARGEST THREAT BEING STRONG WINDS AND LARGE HAIL. HEAVIEST
PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO OCCUR BEGIN AROUND 00 UTC IN THE
WEST...AND BY 06Z IN MY CENTRAL AND WESTERN ZONES. CLEARING WILL
BEGIN GRADUALLY IN THE WEST BY SATURDAY MORNING AND SHOULD EXIT THE
FORECAST AREA COMPLETELY BY 00Z SATURDAY EVENING.

ONCE THE STORM EXITS THE STATE...SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE AND MID LEVEL
SHORTWAVE RIDGING WILL BUILD INTO THE CWA FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE
TERM. PLEASANT WEATHER AND MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES ARE FORECAST.
TEMPERATURES TONIGHT SHOULD DROP TO THE LOW 60S. WITH COOLER AIR
FILTERING IN BEHIND THE STORM...TEMPERATURES WILL DROP TO BELOW
NORMAL FOR THE REST OF THE TERM...WITH HIGHS TOMORROW REMAINING IN
THE 70S AND LOWS DROPPING WELL INTO THE 50S.

.LONG TERM...SUNDAY THROUGH NEXT FRIDAY...

THE NORTHERN PLAINS WILL REMAIN IN AN ACTIVE WESTERLY UPPER FLOW
PATTERN THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK...RESULTING IN CHANCES FOR
THUNDERSTORMS EACH PERIOD. MORE UNCERTAINTY MID NEXT WEEK AS OUR
FLOW ALOFT TRANSITIONS TO MORE NORTHWEST WITH MID/UPPER FORCING MORE
QUESTIONABLE. TEMPERATURES WILL AVERAGE NEAR/SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL
SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY...THEN WELL BELOW AVERAGE TUE & WED.

ON SUNDAY A CLOSED MID LEVEL LOW PUSHING EAST ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL
CANADA WILL DRAG A TROUGH OF SFC LOW PRESSURE THROUGH THE DAKOTAS
RESULTING IN ANOTHER CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS SUNDAY AFTERNOON
THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT. CAA ON THE BACKSIDE OF THIS SYSTEM ALONG WITH
SEVERAL EMBEDDED SHORT WAVE TROUGHS LOOKS TO THEN BRING CONTINUED
CHANCES FOR INSTABILITY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MONDAY INTO MONDAY
NIGHT. DRY SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN ACROSS THE REGION FOR
TUESDAY/TUESDAY NIGHT.

COOLER TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY AS THE UPPER
JET STREAM SAGS TO OUR SOUTH AND NORTHWEST UPPER LEVEL FLOW DEVELOPS
OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS. MODELS ARE FLIP FLOPPING ON WHETHER TO
BRING ADDITIONAL WEAK DISTURBANCES THROUGH THE REGION IN THE
NORTHWEST FLOW. FOR NOW WILL LEAVE TUESDAY-THURS NIGHT DRY.

&&

.AVIATION...
CONVECTION WILL BE AN ONGOING CONCERN TODAY...WITH SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ALREADY OCCURRING NEAR KMOT/KISN/KDIK...AND EXPECTED TO
BECOMES WIDESPREAD BY 00 UTC. DESPITE VFR CONDITIONS PREVAILING AT
THE MOMENT...CONDITIONS WITHIN THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY SEE
MVFR/IFR WITH STRONG WINDS...HEAVY RAIN...AND POSSIBLE HAIL.
THREAT OF RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BEGIN TO TAPER OFF IN THE
WEST BY 12 UTC...BUT WILL CONTINUE AT OTHER TERMINALS FOR THE
DURATION OF THE TAF PERIOD. MVFR WILL BE AN ISSUE ONCE RAIN ENDS
AS WELL...WITH LOW CLOUD DECKS ALMOST CERTAIN AND FOG ALSO A
POSSIBILITY. SOME UNCERTAINTY REMAINS ON EXACT PLACEMENT OF
HEAVIEST THUNDERSTORMS...WILL AMEND AS NECESSARY.
