AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BISMARCK ND
1040 AM CST SAT DEC 28 2013

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 1040 AM CST SAT DEC 28 2013

IN PROCESS OF UPGRADING WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY TO BLIZZARD
WARNING ACROSS THEN NORTH BASED ON SURFACE OBS...SPOTTER REPORTS
AND WEB CAMS. ALSO EXPANDING WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY TO JAMES
RIVER AREA.

UPDATE ISSUED AT 628 AM CST SAT DEC 28 2013

HAVE BECOME CONCERNED WITH WIND GUST POTENTIAL ACROSS THE
SOUTHWEST THIS MORNING. WITH PRESSURE RISE BUBBLE MOVING THROUGH
SEE A FEW HOURS OF 45 MPH WIND GUST POTENTIAL. ISSUED A SPECIAL
WEATHER STATEMENT FOR THIS. BELIEVE WIND WILL SETTLE DOWN A BIT
AFTER THE BUBBLE MOVES THROUGH BY MID TO LATE MORNING. THEN THE
WIND CHILLS WILL BECOME THE PRIMARY THREAT ACROSS THE SOUTH. WARM
TEMPERATURES AHEAD OF THE WINDS MIXING DOWN SO NOW EXPECT A BRIEF
HIGH CLOSE TO 40 SOUTHWEST...THEN FALLING TEMPERATURES.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 445 AM CST SAT DEC 28 2013

POWERFUL COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE AREA THIS MORNING WITH
INCREASING WIND...FALLING TEMPERATURES...SOME SNOW...AND BLOWING
AND DRIFTING OF SNOW WHERE IT IS FALLING. THEN COMES THE
DANGEROUSLY COLD WIND CHILLS.

LATEST SURFACE PLOT SHOWS 12MB/3HR PRESSURE RISES MOVING INTO
NORTH CENTRAL MONTANA BEHIND FRONT. THIS WAS FORECAST VERY WELL BY
THE NAM12 MODEL. NAM ALSO FORECAST PRECIPITATION AREA WELL AND SO
IT WAS LEANED ON FOR DETAILS THIS FORECAST CYCLE.

AM NOT CONCERNED WITH LESS THAN A QUARTER MILE VISIBILITY FOR 3
HOURS AND LONGER (BLIZZARD) AS TOP HALF OF SNOW DEPTH LAYER
BECAME VERY WET ON FRIDAY AND WILL FREEZE AS TEMPERATURE DROP
TODAY...PREVENTING SIGNIFICANT BLOWING OF IT. REDUCED VISIBILITIES
WILL COME WHERE SNOW IS FALLING...AND MY EXPERIENCE IS THAT IT
WILL BE VERY DIFFICULT TO MEET BLIZZARD DEFINITIONS WITHOUT
CONSIDERABLE LOOSE FRESH SNOW PACK.

THE MAJORITY OF THE SNOW WILL FALL NORTH OF THE INTERNATIONAL
BORDER...AND IN EASTERN NORTH DAKOTA. HAVE MAINTAINED THE WINTER
WEATHER ADVISORY BUT LOWERED THE HIGHEST AMOUNTS FROM 2 INCHES...
DOWN TO ONE TO TWO INCHES. NAM FORECASTS THE SNOW OUT OF THE AREA
FASTER THAN PREVIOUS...AND DECREASED WIND ALSO FASTER THAN
PREVIOUS. FOR THOSE REASONS WE HAVE CUT THE WINTER WEATHER
ADVISORY OFF THIS EVENING RATHER THAN KEEPING IT GOING UNTIL MIDNIGHT.

AS FAR AS WIND CHILLS GO...HAVE KEPT THE ADVISORY IN PLACE. HAVE
ALSO ADDED AN ADVISORY NORTHWEST (WILLISTON) AFTER THE WINTER
WEATHER ADVISORY EXPIRES...AND HAVE ADDED A WIND CHILL WARNING FOR
THE NORTHEAST WHERE APPARENT TEMPERATURES (IN THIS CASE
TEMPERATURE AND WIND SPEEDS) SATURDAY NIGHT ARE COMING OUT IN THE
40S BELOW ZERO.

AS A SIDE NOTE...THE STRONGEST PRESSURE FALLS CROSS THROUGH THE
WESTERN THIRD OF THE FORECAST AREA TODAY WITH STRONGEST WINDS
FORECAST THERE.

.LONG TERM...(SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 445 AM CST SAT DEC 28 2013

THE EXTENDED PERIOD WILL BE DOMINATED BY A PERSISTENT COLD UPPER LOW
OVER NORTHERN AND CENTRAL CANADA AND A WARMER BROAD RIDGE ACROSS THE
EASTERN PACIFIC INTO THE SOUTHWEST US. THE COLD UPPER LOW WILL
MAINTAIN THE SOURCE OF ARCTIC AIR EITHER OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS
OR A SHORT DISTANCE AWAY READY TO RETURN. THIS FLOW PATTERN WILL
BRING SOME SHORTWAVE ENERGY THROUGH THE NORTHERN PLAINS AND SUPPORT
AN ACTIVE SNOW PATTERN...MAINLY OVER WESTERN NORTH DAKOTA...THROUGH
MOST OF NEXT WEEK. MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY PARTICULARLY SHOULD SEE
SOME ACCUMULATING SNOW ACROSS WESTERN NORTH DAKOTA. BUT FIRST...ON
SUNDAY...DEEP ARCTIC AIR OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS WILL RESULT IN
COLD LOW TEMPERATURES NEAR 25 BELOW NORTH CENTRAL TO AROUND 10
BELOW SOUTHWEST. A STRONG TEMPERATURE GRADIENT FROM SOUTHWEST TO
NORTHEAST WILL BE CHARACTERISTIC OF THIS WEATHER PATTERN WITH
HIGHS FROM THE SINGLE DIGITS ABOVE TO THE TEENS ACROSS THE
SOUTHWEST YET HIGHS REMAINING CLOSE TO 10 BELOW NORTH CENTRAL
MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. MILDER AIR WILL EVENTUALLY PUSH INTO
NORTH DAKOTA BY THURSDAY AND FRIDAY AS THE PACIFIC RIDGE NUDGES THE
ARCTIC AIR NORTH. HOWEVER...LONGER RANGE TRENDS SUGGEST THE COLD
AIR WILL RETURN AGAIN NEXT WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SUNDAY MORNING)
ISSUED AT 628 AM CST SAT DEC 28 2013

FAST MOVING ARCTIC FRONT WILL BRING MULTIPLE HAZARDS TO AVIATION
INCLUDING GUSTY WINDS...AND IFR CONDITIONS IN BLOWING SNOW.

JUST BEFORE 13Z/28TH...LOW PRESSURE CENTER WAS NEAR KISN WITH A
POWERFUL COLD FRONT EXTENDING THROUGH EASTERN MONTANA...WITH
SYSTEM PROGRESSING SOUTHEAST. VERY STRONG PRESSURE RISES WERE
BEHIND THE FRONT RESULTING IN WIND GUSTS TO 40 KNOTS. A BAND OF
SNOW POST FRONTAL HAD MVFR/IFR CIGS AND VSBYS ASSOCIATED WITH IT.

THESE AVIATION HAZARDS WILL MOVE THROUGH WESTERN AND CENTRAL NORTH
DAKOTA TODAY. WHERE SNOW IS FALLING EXPECT IFR VSBYS...POSSIBLY
LIFR...IN BLOWING SNOW.

CONDITIONS IMPROVING AT KISN BY 22Z/28TH AND AT KJMS BY 00Z/29TH.

SNOW...BUT THE RELATIVELY MILD TEMPERATURES THE PAST FEW DAYS HAS

THOSE TRAVELING AND WORKING OUTDOORS ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST...SHOULD

...GUSTY WINDS AND TURNING SHARPLY COLDER THIS MORNING...

WINDS WILL GUST TO NEAR 45 MPH BRIEFLY THIS MORNING AS COLD AIR
RETURNS TO NORTH DAKOTA. THE GUSTY WINDS WILL SPREAD FROM THE FAR
WEST EARLY THIS MORNING TO THE FAR SOUTH CENTRAL AFTER 10 AM CST. THE
WINDS MAY CAUSE SOME BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW...BUT THE
RECENT RELATIVELY MILD TEMPERATURES HAVE PUT A CRUST ON THE
SNOW...SO EXTENSIVE BLOWING SNOW IS NOT EXPECTED. TEMPERATURES
WILL TURN SHARPLY BY LATE MORNING.

THOSE TRAVELING AND WORKING OUTDOORS ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST...SHOULD
PREPARE FOR SEVERAL HOURS OF STRONG WINDS THIS MORNING WITH THE
INITIAL SURGE OF COLD AIR. THIS WILL BE FOLLOWED BY COLDER
TEMPERATURES THAT WILL REDUCE WIND CHILLS TO DANGEROUS LEVELS BY
NOON.
