AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND FORKS ND
908 PM CDT MON JUN 27 2011

.DISCUSSION...
FORECAST PRETTY MUCH FOLLOWING ON TRACK THIS EVENING. THE FEW
SHOWERS THAT LINGERED INTO THE EARLY EVENING HAVE ABOUT DRIED UP
NOW. WINDS ARE LOSING THE GUSTS AND GETTING NEAR CALM ALREADY.
ONLY A FEW CLOUDS LEFT BUT THESE SHOULD DISSIPATE BY LATE EVENING
LEAVING THE AREA MOSTLY CLEAR. THIS SHOULD SET THE STAGE FOR SOME
FOG LATE. NOT SURE HOW DENSE IT WILL GET AT THIS POINT SO WILL
LEAVE THE PATCHY FOG IN THE FORECAST AND MONITOR.

&&

.AVIATION...
JUST DEALING WITH SOME LINGERING LOWER CLOUDS THROUGH THE LATE
EVENING BEFORE THE CLEARING OCCURS. WINDS GOING LIGHT AND VARIABLE
AND LEFT FOG MENTION IN FOR LATE TONIGHT INTO EARLY TUE.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
PORTIONS OF THE NORTH DAKOTA AND MINNESOTA TRIBUTARIES TO THE RED
RIVER...AS WELL AS THE RED RIVER ITSELF...ARE IN FLOOD DUE TO
RECENT HEAVY RAINFALL. MOST LOCATIONS ARE ONLY IN OR FORECASTED TO
EXPERIENCE MINOR FLOODING...WITH EXCEPTIONS AT HARWOOD AND WEST FARGO
WHERE THE SHEYENNE RIVER IS IN MODERATE AND MAJOR
FLOODING...RESPECTIVELY. MODERATE FLOODING IS ANTICIPATED ALONG THE
RED RIVER NEAR DRAYTON.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 214 PM CDT MON JUN 27 2011/

SHORT TERM... /TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/
CURRENT VIS SATELLITE SHOWS FAIRLY CELLULAR CLOUD COVER OVER
MAJORITY OF NORTH DAKOTA...AND AREAS OVER NORTHWEST AND WEST
CENTRAL MINNESOTA ARE BEGINNING TO BREAK UP. THIS IS IS SUPPORTED
BY WEAKENING ECHOES OVER MINNESOTA...AS UPPER WAVE PULLS OUT OF
THE AREA TO THE EAST.

FORECAST CHALLENGES FOR THE SHORT TERM PERIOD WILL BE ENDING PRECIP
TONIGHT FOLLOWED BY OVERNIGHT FOG POTENTIAL...WINDY CONDITIONS ON
WEDNESDAY...AND THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL FOR LATE THURSDAY AFTERNOON.
GENERALLY USED A NAM/RUC BLEND EARLY IN THE PERIOD AND
TRANSITIONED TO A NAM/GFS BLEND LATER IN THE PERIOD.

FOR THIS EVENING...RAIN SHOWERS OVER MINNESOTA WILL GRADUALLY
DISSIPATE LATE THIS AFTN INTO THE EARLY EVENING...AND SHOULD END
BY 03Z AS MID LEVEL LOW CONTINUES TO MOVE EASTWARD. VERY ISOLATED
TSTMS OVER EASTERN ND...AND CU FIELD...SHOULD DISSIPATE WITH LOSS
OF SOLAR THIS EVENING. SFC RIDGE THEN MOVES INTO DVL LAKE REGION
BY 06Z...AND INTO THE VALLEY BY 09Z TO 12Z. WITH AMPLE SFC
MOISTURE FROM THE RECENT RAINFALLS AND MOS GUIDANCE SHOWING
DEWPOINT DEPRESSIONS OF 1 TO 2 DEG...ADDED PATCHY FOG AFT 06Z TO
DVL LAKE REGION AND AFT 09Z TO THE VALLEY. RETURN FLOW EXPECTED TO
PICK UP IN DVL BY 12Z SO DID REMOVE FOG IN THE REGION AT 12Z...AND
15Z FOR THE VALLEY. EVENING SHIFT WILL NEED TO MONITOR FOG
SITUATION TO INCREASE COVERAGE OR POSSIBLY ADD DENSE FOG AS
NEEDED.

TUE AND WED...UPPER LEVEL RIDGE PUSHES THROUGH AND A DRY MIDWEEK CAN
BE EXPECTED. SFC GRADIENT INCREASES ON WED...AND LATEST GUIDANCE
IS INCREASING SOUTHERLY WINDS TO 20 TO 25 KT. MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOW
FAIRLY ADIABATIC LAYER TO AROUND 875 MB BY 21Z WED AFTN...WITH 35
KTS AVAILABLE TO MIX DOWN. DID INCREASE GUSTS TO AROUND 30 TO 32
KTS FOR WED AFTN. WITH A SOUTHERLY COMPONENT...THIS COULD CAUSE
PROBLEMATIC WAVES ALONG HIGHWAY 2 IN THE DEVILS LAKE REGION.

THU...NEXT WAVE MOVES ACROSS SOUTHERN CANADA...WITH SFC BOUNDARY
APPROACHING WESTERN CWA BY 00Z FRIDAY. CONTINUATION OF SOUTHERLY
WINDS DURING THE DAY AND QUITE WARM WED NIGHT LOWS SHOULD ALLOW
TEMPS TO CLIMB INTO THE MID TO UPPER 80S THU AFTN. TSTM THREAT FOR
LATE THU AFTN WILL BE VERY DEPENDENT ON A FAIRLY DECENT
CAP...HOWEVER THE GFS IS DROPPING H700 TEMPS OVER NORTHEASTERN ND
TO AROUND 11 C BY 21Z THU...THUS HAVE ADDED ISOLATED T TO THIS
REGION FOR THU AFTN. MINNESOTA AND SOUTHERN VALLEY SHOULD REMAIN
CAPPED THRU 00Z FRI.

LONG TERM... /THU NIGHT THROUGH MON/
MEDIUM RANGE MODELS ARE IN PRETTY DECENT AGREEMENT ON A FAIRLY
ACTIVE START TO THE PERIOD AS A SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL BE MOVING INTO
THE CWA FROM WESTERN SD THURSDAY NIGHT.  THE GEM IS SLOWER THAN THE
GFS AND ECMWF...BUT IT STILL BRINGS THE SFC TROUGH INTO THE AREA AND
BREAKS OUT A DECENT AMOUNT OF PRECIP.  SPREAD 30 POPS A BIT FURTHER
SOUTH AND EAST FOR THURSDAY NIGHT.  PRECIP SHOULD START TO TAPER OFF
ON WEDNESDAY AS A COLD FRONT MOVES INTO THE CWA.  WITH THE UPPER
TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED COOL MID LEVEL TEMPS OVER THE NORTHERN
CWA...SOME SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS COULD REMAIN OVER THAT AREA
INTO FRIDAY.  ZONAL FLOW AND WEAK SFC HIGH PRESSURE SET IN FOR
SATURDAY...AND TEMPS THROUGH THE WEEKEND SHOULD BE CLOSE TO SEASONAL
AVERAGES.

MODEL CONSENSUS STARTS TO GO DOWNHILL SUNDAY AND MONDAY...WITH THE
GFS TRANSITIONING TO NORTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT AS AN UPPER TROUGH
DIGS INTO EASTERN NORTH AMERICA.  THE ECMWF ON THE OTHER HAND...IS
MORE ZONAL AND HAS A WEAK BOUNDARY AND PRECIP OVER THE AREA.
ENSEMBLE SPAGHETTI PLOTS ARE ALL OVER THE PLACE...AND SOME ENSEMBLE
MEMBERS SHOW A LARGE AMOUNT OF PRECIP...AND SOME NOTHING.  WILL JUST
GO WITH SOME SMALL POPS FOR SUNDAY FOR NOW...BUT FULLY EXPECT THAT
THE FORECAST WILL BE ADJUSTED AS THE SITUATION BECOMES MORE CLEAR.
