AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND FORKS ND
1012 AM CDT WED MAY 11 2011

.DISCUSSION...
GOING FORECAST HAS THINGS PRETTY WELL IN HAND BUT WILL MAKE A FEW
MINOR CHANGES THIS MORNING. REGIONAL RADAR LOOP SHOWS ANY DYING
CONVECTIVE SHOWERS TO OUR SOUTH HAVE PRETTY MUCH DIED OUT. THERE
IS ONE COMPLEX ACROSS SOUTHERN MN BUT DO NOT EXPECT THAT TO REACH
UP INTO OUR FA. THEREFORE TRIMMED OUT ANY MENTION OF ISOLATED
SHOWERS TODAY. LOOKS FOR THE MOST PART LIKE IT WILL REMAIN MOSTLY
CLOUDY FOR THE MORNING (EXCEPT THE FAR SE) THEN THERE MAY BE ONLY
A FEW BREAKS THRU THE AFTERNOON (STILL MORE SO IN THE SOUTH/SE).
DESPITE SOME BREAKS OF SUN IN THE FAR SE ALSO DROPPED HIGHS A
LITTLE MORE THERE.

&&

.AVIATION...
AREAS OF FOG CAUSING PATCHY IFR/LIFR EAST OF RED RIVER VALLEY
THEN WIDESPREAD IFR UNDER BROAD LOW CLOUDS ROTATING ACROSS THE
NORTHERN CWFA. EXPECT MVFR TO IFR GENERALLY NORTH OF THE HIGHWAY
200 CORRIDOR TIL LATER IN THE DAY THEN MOSTLY MVFR.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
MODERATE TO MINOR FLOODING CONTINUES IN THE BASIN OF THE RED
RIVER OF THE NORTH...WITH THE EXCEPTION OF WEST FARGO WHICH IS
STILL IN MAJOR CATEGORY.

MOST AREA RIVERS ARE RESPONDING ABOUT AS FORECAST. THE CURRENT
FORECASTS CONTAIN 24 HOURS OF FORECAST PRECIPITATION...SO
ADDITIONAL RAINFALL WILL HAVE TO BE FACTORED INTO LATER FORECASTS.
THE MOST LIKELY SCENARIO IS A SLOWING IN THE RATE OF FALL OR MINOR
RISES...ALL DEPENDENT ON WHERE THE HEAVIEST RAINS OCCUR. STAY
TUNED TO LATER RIVER PREDICTIONS.

AREAL FLOOD WARNINGS CONTINUE ALONG THE MAIN-STEM RED NORTH OF OSLO
TO CANADA...IN CASS COUNTY FROM KINDRED TO HARWOOD...IN PEMBINA
COUNTY DOWNSTREAM OF WALHALLA THROUGH NECHE INTO PEMBINA. A FLOOD
ADVISORY HAS REPLACED THE AREAL FLOOD WARNING IN THE DEVILS LAKE
BASIN AS OVERLAND RUNOFF HAS SUBSIDED. SEE SPECIFIC FLOOD STATEMENTS
FOR MORE DETAILS.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 603 AM CDT WED MAY 11 2011/

UPDATE...
WILL UPDATE ZONES TO ADD LOW POP SHOWERS TO THE SOUTHERN ZONES
THIS MORNING. REGIONAL 88D SHOW -RASH LEFTOVER FROM CONVECTION IN
NEBRASKA HOLDING TOGETHER. FAIRLY STRONG 200MB DIVERGENCE
ASSOCIATED WITH JET STREAK FORECAST TO MOVE INTO SOUTHERN CWFA AND
MOVE NORTH AS IT WEAKENS. ALSO TWEAKED WINDS AS A SLIGHTLY TIGHTER
GRADIENT IS DEVELOPING ALONG WITH ISALLOBARIC RISES HELPING IN
FAVORED HIGHER TERRAIN.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 345 AM CDT WED MAY 11 2011/

SYNOPSIS...
HIGH AMPLITUDE...BLOCKY PATTERN FORECAST TO CONTINUE THROUGH MUCH
OF THIS FORECAST PERIOD. WITH SUCH A BLOCKY PATTERN EXPECT
RELATIVELY SLOW MOVEMENT OF OVERALL SYSTEMS AND SLOW EVOLUTION
NEXT 24 TO 72 HOURS. A GRADUAL COOLING TREND AS MEAN TROUGH
PROGRESSES INTO THE PLAINS.

SHORT TERM...
MODELS IN DECENT AGREEMENT ON MASS FIELDS AND LEANED TOWARDS THE
NAM OF THIS PACKAGE. SEVERAL CHALLENGES IN TODAYS FORECAST...FROM LOW
CLOUDS AND POTENTIAL FOG EARLY TO SHOWER THREAT NORTH AND EAST.
PATCHY FOG HAS BEEN NOTED IN FAR NORTH VALLEY AND ACROSS MUCH OF
MINNESOTA WITH METAR VSBY BOUNCING FROM 1/4 TO P6SM. OPTED TO NOT
MENTION IN ZONES AS INCREASING WINDS SHOULD MIX OUT AROUND 12Z.

AS UPPER LOW/VORT MAX MOVES OUT OF NORTHWEST NORTH DAKOTA INTO
MANITOBA A FEW SHOWERS WILL ROTATE ACROSS FAR NORTHERN COUNTIES
THIS MORNING...AS PER BUFCAN AND OBS. WIDESPREAD LOW CLOUDS
ROTATING AROUND SURFACE LOW MOVING INTO CANADA SHOULD TRAVERSE
REGION THEN BEGIN TO BREAK UP AS SYSTEM PULLS NORTH. CLOUD COVER
THEN INCREASES FROM SOUTH AS MOISTURE AND CONVECTIVE DEBRIS SHIFT
NORTH IN MID-UPPER LEVEL SOUTHERLY FLOW LATE TODAY INTO THURSDAY.

A FEW SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE FAR NORTH VALLEY UNDER THE
LOW CLOUDS...RUG REPORTED -RA...THEN ISO RASH FAR EAST CWA AS
ENERGY LIFTS NORTH. DID NOT MENTION THUNDER AS CAPE...NEGATIVE LI
AND BOUNDARY EAST OF CWFA.

TONIGHT SURFACE HIGH BUILDING INTO THE CWFA WITH MUCH DRIER COLUMN
RESULTING IN VERY STABLE AIRMASS. FEEL THAT MOST AREAS WILL BE DRY
BUT DID LEAVE ISO RASH WITH SOUTH FLOW IN PLACE ABOVE 700 MB AND
ABUNDANT CONVECTION SOUTH OF CWFA.

WITH BLOCKING PATTERN AND TWO SYSTEMS AFFECTING AREA SUSPECT A FEW
SHOWERS ARE STILL POSSIBLE SO LEFT SLIGHT CHC-CHC POPS SIMILAR TO
PREVIOUS FORECAST. NEXT MAIN CHALLENGE WILL BE UPPER LOW THAT
MODELS ROTATE BACK ACROSS AREA FOR THE WEEKEND.

EXTENDED...
DID NOT MAKE ANY CHANGES TO EXTENDED MAINLY DUE TO EXTREME MODEL
RUN-TO-RUN VARIABILITY AND HIGH AMPLITUDE PATTERN. FRIDAY AND
SATURDAY COOLER WITH WARMER WEATHER SUNDAY INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.
LOOKS SHOWERY FRIDAY AND PERHAPS SATURDAY UNDER COLD CORE LOW
DROPPING ACROSS CWFA. SHOULD BECOME PRECIPITATION FREE UNDER RISING
HEIGHTS NEXT WEEK.
