AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BISMARCK ND
307 PM CDT THU JUN 20 2013

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 258 PM CDT THU JUN 20 2013

MAIN FOCUS IS SEVERAL SEVERE THREAT AND FLASH FLOOD POTENTIAL THIS
EVENING. THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BEEN REGENERATING ACROSS CENTRAL NORTH
DAKOTA. MOIST ATMOSPHERE WILL KEEP THE FLASH FLOOD THREAT GOING
JAMES RIVER VALLEY.

.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 258 PM CDT THU JUN 20 2013

LONG TERM...FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...

A SLOW MOVING UPPER LEVEL LOW AND TROUGH ENTRENCHED OVER
ALBERTA/SASKATCHEWAN AND INTO THE INTER-MOUNTAIN WEST WILL GRADUALLY
ROTATE THROUGH THE NORTHERN HIGH PLAINS BY LATE SUNDAY INTO EARLY
MONDAY. THE END RESULT IS FOR A CONTINUED SOUTHWEST FLOW WITH
MULTIPLE SHORTWAVES MEANDERING THROUGH WESTERN AND CENTRAL NORTH
DAKOTA PROMOTING ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. SEVERE
WEATHER POTENTIAL SATURDAY APPEARS TO BE MOST CONCENTRATED OVER
SOUTH CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA AND INTO THE JAMES RIVER VALLEY. THE
SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL TRANSITION TO A SOMEWHAT DRIER WESTERLY FLOW
SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY BEFORE ADDITIONAL SHORTWAVES ARRIVE FOR
MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT. THE GFS AND ECMWF AGREE THAT A
FOUR CORNERS RIDGE WILL BEGIN TO GROW BY MID WEEK AND EXPAND NORTH
BY THE END OF THE WEE. THAT WOULD RESULT IN NORTH DAKOTA
TRANSITIONING TO A NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT...JUST WEST OF THE RIDGE
AXIS. THERE COULD BE SOME SHORTWAVES/RIDGE TOPPERS RIDING INTO NORTH
DAKOTAS FOR A THREAT OF THUNDERSTORMS...BUT WILL NEED TO SEE THE
