AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND FORKS ND
1019 AM CDT TUE JUN 28 2011

.DISCUSSION...

THERE WERE NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO THE FORECAST THROUGH THIS
AFTERNOON.

&&

.AVIATION...

HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE REGION WILL BRING CLEAR SKIES AND LIGHT
SOUTHERLY WINDS TO THE MAJORITY OF THE AREA. HOWEVER...SOME MVFR
CU MAY MOVE INTO THE DVL AREA THIS AFTERNOON. CU WILL DISSIPATE
EARLY THIS EVENING AND CLEAR SKIES WILL RETURN.

&&

.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 300 AM CDT TUE JUN 28 2011/

SHORT TERM (TUE-THUR)...CONCERNS WILL BE HEAT AND THUNDERSTORM
POTENTIAL LATE IN THE PERIOD. 00Z MODELS IN DECENT AGREEMENT.

SFC RIDGING WILL PROPAGATE ACROSS THE REGION TODAY WITH RETURN
FLOW COMMENCING ACROSS THE WESTERN FA BY LATE IN THE DAY.
CONVECTIVE TEMPS NEAR FORECASTED MAX TEMPS (LOW-MID 70S) AND
SHOULD BE ISOLATED TO SCATTERED AFTERNOON CU.

INCREASING RETURN FLOW AND WARMING AIRMASS WILL KEEP TEMPS FROM
FALLING TOO FAR TONIGHT.

UPPER RIDGE PROPAGATES ACROSS THE FA WED AND THUR. VERY WARM
AIRMASS WILL LEAD TO HIGHS IN THE 80S...APPROACHING 90F ON THUR.
VERY HUMID CONDITIONS (DEW POINTS IN THE 70S) WILL LEAD TO A HIGH
HEAT INDEX...APPROACHING 100F ON THUR. CURRENT THINKING IS THAT
HEAT INDEX VALUES WILL BE JUST BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA...BUT WILL
NEED TO MONITOR THIS SITUATION. OVERNIGHT TEMPS WILL BE VERY WARM.

STRONG CAPPING (700MB TEMPS +14C TO +16C) MOVES INTO THE FA
BY WED AFTERNOON AND INTO THUR. THIS SHOULD PREVENT CONVECTION.
THE FAR EASTERN FA WILL BE ON THE EDGE OF THIS CAPPING AND
INCREASING INSTABILITY WED NIGHT. NOT SURE ABOUT DETAILS (NAM
CRANKS UP A LOW-LEVEL JET WHILE OTHER MODELS KEEP IT MUCH WEAKER)...BUT
POTENTIAL FOR OVERNIGHT STORMS DOES EXIST. AT THIS TIME THINK THAT
PROBABILITY IS TOO LOW FOR MENTIONING IN THE FORECAST (MOST MODELS
DO NOT PRODUCE QPF). THUNDERSTORM CHANCES INCREASE FROM WEST TO
EAST LATE THUR AFTERNOON INTO THUR NIGHT AS 700MB TEMPS COOL.
AGAIN...NOT SURE ABOUT DETAILS...BUT COULD BE A DECENT EVENT WITH
EXTREME INSTABILITY AND DEEP LAYER SHEAR IN PLACE.

WINDY CONDITIONS EXPECTED WITH SOUTHERLY FLOW WEDNESDAY. 850MB
WINDS EXPECTED TO BE 30-35KNTS...WHICH USUALLY LEADS TO SFC WINDS
20-30MPH.

LONG TERM...00Z MODEL GUIDANCE SUGGESTING TEMPERATURES NEAR
NORMAL WITH A FEW CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS. CURRENT FORECAST
HANDLES THIS WELL AND NO CHANGES PLANNED.
