AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BISMARCK ND
1206 AM CDT THU SEP 26 2013

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 1206 AM CDT THU SEP 26 2013

THE LATEST WATER VAPOR LOOP AND SPC MESOANALYSIS SHOW A H3 120KT
JET PUNCHING INTO CENTRAL AND EASTERN WYOMING WITH A DIVERGENCE
ALOFT FIELD CENTERED OVER WESTERN NORTH DAKOTA ASSOCIATED WITH THE
LEFT EXIT REGION. SURFACE COLD FRONT SLICING NORTH TO SOUTH...FROM
NEAR KENMARE SOUTH TO HAZEN AND INTO LEMMON SOUTH DAKOTA. LOW
PRESSURE WAS ANALYZED OVER SOUTHWESTERN SOUTH DAKOTA WITH 3HR
PRESSURE FALLS NON-EXISTENT ACROSS NORTH DAKOTA SUGGESTING
CONVECTION CURRENTLY IN THE WEST IS ELEVATED ABOVE THE SURFACE.
THUS FAR THE THUNDERSTORMS HAVE REMAINED BELOW SEVERE LIMITS. PEAK
WINDS HAVE BEEN 34 MPH NEAR RAY. MARGINAL MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES
WITH THE STRONGEST DOWNDRAFT CAPE DISPLACED FROM THE MAIN AREA OF
CONVECTION AS THE AXIS IS IN CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA. WILL MAINTAIN A
MENTION OF SEVERE OVERNIGHT AS THE SURFACE LOW CONTINUES TO LIFT
NORTH AND SOME HIGHER REFLECTIVITY'S NOW EMERGING OVER WESTERN
SOUTH DAKOTA. EXPANDED POPS FURTHER NORTH AND EAST PER LATEST HRRR.

UPDATE ISSUED AT 1013 PM CDT WED SEP 25 2013

LATE EVENING UPDATE MAINLY FOR POPS BASED ON CURRENT RADAR TRENDS.
THUNDERSTORMS HAVE OVERSPREAD MUCH OF WESTERN NORTH DAKOTA. THUS
FAR...STORMS HAVE REMAINED NON-SEVERE. CANNOT RULE OUT AN ISOLATED
SEVERE STORM OVERNIGHT...MAINLY IN THE FORM OF WIND AS POTENTIAL
EXISTS FOR STRONG FLOW ALOFT TO BE TRANSPORTED TO THE LOW LEVELS BRIEFLY.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 335 PM CDT WED SEP 25 2013

THE PRIMARY FORECAST CHALLENGE CONTINUES TO BE THE SEVERE WEATHER
CHANCES ACROSS WESTERN AND NORTH CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA TONIGHT.

SHORT RANGE MODEL GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO PROG A SHORTWAVE TO LIFT
NORTH ACROSS EASTERN MONTANA AND NORTHWESTERN NORTH DAKOTA
TONIGHT. ITS ATTENDANT SURFACE TROUGH AXIS WILL TIGHTEN UP ACROSS
WESTERN NORTH DAKOTA THIS EVENING AS A RESULT. FURTHERMORE...MODEL
MUCAPE VALUES ARE FORECAST TO RANGE BETWEEN 200-400 J/KG WHILE
DEEP LAYER SHEAR WILL BE UP TO 50 KNOTS. EVEN THOUGH INSTABILITY
IS NOT TERRIBLY IMPRESSIVE...THE COMBINATION OF LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE
CONVERGENCE AND HIGH SHEAR ENVIRONMENT WILL LIKELY BE ENOUGH TO
GENERATE SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS EVENING.

THE LATEST 4KM WRF-NMM AND 3KM HRRR PROG AN MCS TO DEVELOP OVER
SOUTHEASTERN MONTANA AROUND 01Z. THIS COMPLEX IS THEN PROGGED TO
LIFT NORTH ACROSS WESTERN NORTH DAKOTA THIS EVENING. THE HI-RES
MODELS ARE HINTING AT THE MCS MORPHING INTO AN MCV BY THE END OF
ITS CYCLE...GENERATING MORE OF A WIND THREAT. HOWEVER...IF
UPDRAFTS GET STRONG ENOUGH...LARGE HAIL CANNOT BE RULED OUT.
CONTINUED TO INDICATE LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS IN THE
AFFECTED ZONES FOR TONIGHT.

PRECIP CHANCES WILL TAPER OFF FROM SOUTH TO NORTH AS THE PARENT
SHORTWAVE LIFTS INTO CANADA THURSDAY MORNING. DRY CONDITIONS ARE
THEN EXPECTED OVER MOST OF THE CWA (SANS NORTHWESTERN NORTH
DAKOTA) BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON.

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 335 PM CDT WED SEP 25 2013

THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE EXTENDED PERIOD ARE RAIN AND WIND THURSDAY
THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT.

WIDESPREAD RAINFALL UP TO ONE INCH IS LIKELY FOR SOME PARTS OF NORTH
DAKOTA THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT. GUSTY WINDS AROUND 35
MPH ARE LIKELY ACROSS MUCH OF WESTERN AND CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA
THURSDAY AFTERNOON.

STRONG FORCING AND AMPLE MOISTURE WILL LIKELY BE IN PLACE ACROSS THE
REGION THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY THANKS TO A STRONG UPPER LEVEL
JET...DEEP LONGWAVE TROUGH...AND ISALLOBARIC FORCING ALONG THE
INVERTED TROUGH. SEVERAL UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGHS SHOULD EJECT
OUT OF THE MAIN LONGWAVE TROUGH TO THE WEST. IT APPEARS ONE SHOULD
ARRIVE ON OUR DOORSTEP WEDNESDAY NIGHT...THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY
NIGHT. THIS WOULD TEND TO FAVOR PRECIPITATION ARRIVING IN WAVES WITH
BREAKS IN BETWEEN.

THERE IS SOME UNCERTAINTY BETWEEN THE MAJOR MODELS AS TO
EXACT LOCATION OF THE HEAVIEST RAIN AND TIMING OF THE MAIN COLD
FRONT PUSH OUT OF THE REGION. THE 12 UTC GFS AND 12 UTC ECMWF APPEAR
TO BE SLIGHTLY SLOWER WITH THE EXIT OF THE SYSTEM AND THEREFORE
PRODUCE MORE PRECIP OVER WESTERN AND CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA. THE 12
UTC GEM/NAM AND 09Z SREF HAVE THE BULK OF THE RAIN FALLING ACROSS
EASTERN NORTH DAKOTA WITH THE FRONT PUSHING THROUGH EARLIER FRIDAY.
THEREFORE...FOR THIS FORECAST ISSUANCE WENT WITH A BLEND OF THE
MAJOR MODELS WITH A SLIGHT FAVOR TOWARD THE EASTWARD (FASTER) MODELS
AS THE GFS HAS SHOWN A SLIGHT EASTWARD TREND OVER THE PAST FEW RUNS.
DUE TO UNCERTAINTY DID NOT INCREASE CHANCES OF PRECIPITATION FOR
THURSDAY OR FRIDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z THURSDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 1206 AM CDT THU SEP 26 2013

SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE OVERNIGHT FOR ALL
AERODROMES EXCEPT KJMS. A COLD FRONT JUST WEST OF KMOT AND KBIS
WILL SLOWLY MOVE EAST THURSDAY. A PERIOD OF MVFR CIGS TOWARD 10Z AND
12Z THURSDAY ARE FORECAST TO DEVELOP...WITH KJMS BARELY REMAINING IN
THE LOW VFR RANGE. GUSTY SOUTHWEST TO WESTERLY WINDS ARE FORECAST
THURSDAY...BETWEEN 20KT AND 32KT.
