AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND FORKS ND
336 AM CST SAT FEB 12 2011

.DISCUSSION...

THE MAIN CHALLENGES WILL BE TEMPS...LIGHT PRECIP CHANCES OVER NEXT
FEW DAYS AND HIGH WIND POTENTIAL SUNDAY AFTERNOON-SUN EVENING.
MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT...AND ALL MODELS ARE COMING AROUND TO
THE GFS FOR THE SUNDAY SYSTEM. LAST NIGHT THE GFS WAS THE ONLY
MODEL WITH VERY STRONG WINDS SUNDAY AND NOW THEY ALL HAVE HIGH
WIND POTENTIAL. THEREFORE WILL ISSUE A HIGH WIND WATCH FROM THE
VALLEY WEST SUNDAY AFTERNOON-SUN EVENING WITH MORE DISCUSSION TO
FOLLOW BELOW.

FOR TODAY...THE BAROCLINIC ZONE AND WARM AIR ADVECTION WILL
CONTINUE TO SHIFT EAST INTO MN. THERE WILL BE SOME LIGHT SNOW
CHANCES MAINLY IN THE NORTHERN 1/3 OF THE REGION. GIVEN THE WARM
AIR ALOFT AND SATURATION NEAR THE SFC WITH LOW/MID 20S DEWPOINTS
ADVECTION IN...THERE COULD BE SOME FREEZING DRIZZLE THIS MORNING
MAINLY ALONG AND WEST OF THE VALLEY SO WILL MENTION. TEMPS SHOULD
WARM ABOVE NORMAL BUT CLOUDS MAY INHIBIT TEMPS FROM GETTING TOO WARM.

FOR TONIGHT...WAA CONTINUES AND 850MB TEMPS RISE ABOVE 0C IN ALL
AREAS. THE SFC PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL TIGHTEN LATE IN RESPONSE TO
DEEPENING LOW PRESSURE IN ALBERTA. IT SHOULD REMAIN DRY WITH TEMPS
POSSIBLY RISING LATE WITH INCREASING WESTERLY WINDS WITH A MILD
NIGHT EXPECTED.

ON SUNDAY...LOW PRESSURE WILL QUICKLY MOVE FROM ALBERTA INTO THE
ARROWHEAD OF MN BY LATE AFTERNOON. EXPECT TEMPS TO WARM QUICKLY
DURING THE MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON WITH IDEAL CHINOOK WESTERLY
FLOW. 850MB WINDS INCREASE TO 60KT ALONG AND WEST OF THE VALLEY BY
AFTERNOON. IN ADDITION...A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE REGION
SUN AFTERNOON/EVENING WITH A STRONG DRY PUNCH EVIDENT ON MODEL
WATER VAPOR IMAGERY AND CROSS SECTIONS. LOOKING AT MODEL
SOUNDINGS...THERE SHOULD BE 55-60KT TO MIX AS LOW AS 900MB IN THE
WEST AND AROUND 50KT IN THE VALLEY BY AFTERNOON. GIVEN WARM SFC
TEMPS NEAR 40 SHOULD CREATE ADIABATIC SOUNDINGS TO NEARLY 825MB.
WINDS SHOULD SUSTAIN NEAR 40MPH AT TIMES WITH GUSTS UP TO 60MPH IN
THE WEST NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION. THEREFORE HAVE ISSUED A HIGH
WIND WATCH FOR THIS POTENTIAL. IF THERE IS SOME WRAPAROUND LIGHT
SNOW BEHIND THE FRONT THEN BLOWING SNOW MAY BECOME A PROBLEM...BUT
AT THIS TIME NOT EXPECTING MUCH IF ANY FALLING SNOW...SO BLSN
WON/T BE A PROBLEM WITH CURRENT SNOW PACK WELL CRUSTED/COMPACTED
BY THIS TIME.

FOR MONDAY...TEMPS MAY BE SLIGHTLY COOLER THAN SUNDAY...BUT WILL
STILL BE ABOVE NORMAL. IT SHOULD BE DRY AND INSOLATION COULD
OFFSET COOLER 850MB TEMPS.

FOR TUE/WED...IT SHOULD CONTINUE TO WARM AND MOST AREAS WILL BE
WELL INTO THE 30S TO AROUND 40. WITH FAVORABLE WESTERLY FLOW ON
TUE AND VERY WARM MID LEVEL TEMPS...IT COULD GET EVEN WARMER.
GIVEN THE SNOW PACK THOUGH THIS SHOULD PREVENT TEMPS FROM GETTING
INTO THE 40S...BUT SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND. IF WE DECOUPLE
EITHER TUE OR WED MORNING...THEN FOG WILL ALSO BE A CONCERN GIVEN
THE RECENT MELTING SNOW. WED MORNING APPEARS LIKE THE BIGGEST FOG
THREAT WITH A WEAKER PRESSURE GRADIENT AS BAROCLINIC ZONE SAGS
SOUTH A BIT.

FOR THU/FRI...IT APPEARS THAT A LARGER STORM SYSTEM MAY IMPACT THE
REGION. IT IS STILL TO EARLY TO IRON OUT DETAILS...BUT WILL BE THE
POTENTIAL FOR ACCUMULATING SNOW WITH SW FLOW ALOFT AND GULF
MOISTURE STREAMING NORTH. MODELS ARE HAVING A TOUGH TIME WITH THIS
SYSTEM AND THERE ARE CURRENTLY MANY DIFFERENCES...BUT WORTH WATCHING.

&&

.AVIATION...

THERE COULD BE SOME MVFR CONDITIONS WITH LIGHT SNOW TODAY. THE
MAIN THREAT WILL BE INCREASING WESTERLY WINDS ON SUNDAY WITH GUSTS OVER
40KT POSSIBLE ALONG AND WEST OF THE RED RIVER VALLEY.
