AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BISMARCK ND
338 PM CDT SUN MAR 25 2012

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT
POWERFUL SYSTEM CONTINUES ON TRACK TO AFFECT WESTERN AND CENTRAL
NORTH DAKOTA. SYSTEM WILL TRANSITION FROM POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE
CONVECTION EARLY IN PERIOD TO THE POSSIBILITY OF SIGNIFICANT
SNOWFALL EARLY IN THE EXTENDED PERIODS.

ECMWF IS PROGESSIVELY COLDER ON MODEL RUNS AS WELL AS COLDER THAN
OTHER DETERMINISTIC GUIDANCE. HOWEVER PER WINTER WEATHER DESK AT
HPC IT IS SHOWING SLIGHT TREND TO THE NORTH. WITH QPF AMOUNTS
BETWEEN ONE-HALF TO AN INCH...EVEN WITH WARM GROUND AND MARGINAL
THERMAL PROFILE...WET SNOW ACCUMULATIONS ARE LIKELY IF THE 12Z EC
VERIFIES. WILL ISSUE AN SPS FOR MOST OF THE FORECAST AREA.

FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS AND HIGH WINDS ARE ADDITIONAL CONCERN.
SURFACE LOW TRACKS FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTH CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA
WITH VERY STRONG PRESSURE GRADIENT SETTING UP...WITH 12 MB PER 6
HOURS FALLS IN RED RIVER VALLEY COUPLED WITH 12 MB RISES IN
CENTRAL MONTANA...MOVING TO THE WESTERN CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA BY
12Z TUESDAY. NUMERICAL GUIDANCE SHOWS 40 KT SUSTAINED WINDS OVER
SOUTHWEST NORTH DAKOTA WITH 85H WINDS AT 60 KTS. WIND WIND WATCH
HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR MOST OF WESTERN AND CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA.
RELATIVE HUMIDITY IN THE 30 TO PERCENT RANGE FOR MINIMUMS WILL
KEEP FIRE WEATHER ABOVE CRITERIA FOR HEADLINES THOUGH STRONG WINDS
WOULD BE AN ISSUE.

.LONG TERM...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...

THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE EXTENDED FORECAST CONTINUES TO BE THE DEEP LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM FORECAST IMPACT WESTERN AND CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA.
THE TWO BIGGEST CHALLENGES WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL BE WINDS AND HOW
MUCH SUB-FREEZING AIR WILL WRAP INTO THE SYSTEM TO CAUSE A
CHANGEOVER TO SNOW.

FIRST...WITH REGARDS TO WINDS...HAVE ISSUED A HIGH WIND WATCH FOR
THE LOCATIONS GENERALLY ALONG AND WEST OF THE MISSOURI EFFECTIVE AT
06 UTC TUESDAY AND FOR THE I-94 CORRIDOR EAST OF THE RIVER BEGINNING
AT 12 UTC TUESDAY...WITH EACH SEGMENT IN EFFECT UNTIL 00 UTC
WEDNESDAY. STRONG GRADIENT WINDS ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE 986 MB
SURFACE LOW WILL COUPLE WITH ISALLOBARIC FORCING FROM A 10-12
MB/6 HR PRESSURE RISE BUBBLE...AND A WELL MIXED BOUNDARY LAYER EVEN
PRIOR TO SUNRISE WITH 50-65+ KTS TO MIX TO THE SURFACE. THE
STRONGEST WINDS APPEAR TO BE FAVORED IN THE SOUTHWEST QUADRANT OF
THE LOW...WHICH IS WHERE THE WATCH AREA IS LOCATED. BOTH SUSTAINED
WIND CRITERIA OF 40 MPH OR GREATER AND GUSTS OF 58+ MPH ARE POSSIBLE
IN THE WATCH AREA.

THE PRECIPITATION FORECAST...ESPECIALLY PRECIPITATION TYPE...IS NOT AS
CLEAR CUT COMPARED TO WINDS. ON TUESDAY MORNING A DRY SLOT IS
FORECAST TO BE IN PLACE BETWEEN HIGHWAY 83 AND THE WESTERN FRINGES
OF THE RED RIVER VALLEY AS THE OVERALL MODEL SUITE IS IN GOOD
AGREEMENT ON THE PLACEMENT OF THE LOW WITH THE 12 UTC NAM THE
NORTHERN MOST SOLUTION. AT THE SAME TIME A BAND OF MODERATE RAINFALL
ASSOCIATED WITH THE TROWAL/DEFORMATION ZONE IS FORECAST TO BE
ONGOING ACROSS THE WEST TUESDAY MORNING. OVER THE PAST 24 HOURS THE
TREND HAS BEEN FOR MORE SUB FREEZING AIR TO BE DRAWN INTO THE
BACKSIDE OF THE LOW. WHILE THE 12 UTC ECMWF AND NAM SOLUTIONS ARE
THE COLDEST...THEY ARE ALSO PLAUSIBLE WHICH IS CONCERNING WHEN THE
FORECAST WINDS ARE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT...WITH SNOWFALL POSSIBLE BY
MIDDAY WITH THESE MODELS ACROSS THE WEST AND NORTH. NEEDLESS TO
SAY...MUCH UNCERTAINTY EXISTS REGARDING THE CHANGEOVER TO SNOW
RESULTING FROM HOW DEEP THE ABOVE-FREEZING SURFACE LAYER WILL BE.
THE 12 UTC GFS AND 15 UTC SREF ARE SLIGHTLY WARMER...WHICH WOULD
HELP TO DELAY SNOWFALL CLOSER TOWARDS EVENING WHEN PRECIPITATION
INTENSITY AND WINDS BEGIN TO DOWNTREND. EITHER WAY..THIS WILL HAVE
TO BE CLOSELY MONITORED OVER THE NEXT 12 TO 24 HOURS...SHOULD THE
CONSENSUS SETTLE ON THE COLDER SOLUTIONS COUPLED WITH STRONG WINDS
TO CREATE POSSIBLE TRAVEL HAZARDS.

AFTER TUESDAY...AN ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE
THROUGH NEXT WEEK WITH SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT ACROSS THE WESTERN AND
CENTRAL CONUS WITH A DOWNSTREAM EASTERN CONUS RIDGE. THE END RESULT
IS FORECAST TEMPERATURES WHICH CONTINUE TO BE ABOVE NORMAL AND
MULTIPLE CHANCES FOR AT LEAST LIGHT PRECIPITATION.

.AVIATION...

MULTIPLE AVIATION HAZARDS ARE FORECAST ACROSS WESTERN AND CENTRAL
NORTH DAKOTA OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS. THE MORNING STRATUS FIELD HAS
ERODED OVER WESTERN AND CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA. HOWEVER...FOR THIS
EVENING AND TONIGHT...SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS WILL INCREASE AS A STORM
SYSTEM BEGINS TO FORM IN THE LEE OF THE ROCKIES. MOISTURE RETURN
WITH THIS LOW LEVEL FLOW WILL LIKELY RESULT IN STRATUS BUILDING IN
AGAIN TONIGHT WITH IFR CONDITIONS POSSIBLE AT ALL TAF SITES...IN
ADDITION TO WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 25 KTS. ISOLATED TO SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE AFTER 09 UTC IN THE KDIK AND KBIS
VICINITY...SPREADING NORTH AND EAST IN THE KJMS AND KMOT TAF SITES
AFTER 12 UTC.
