AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BISMARCK ND
345 PM CST THU JAN 10 2013

.SHORT TERM...
THE MAIN HIGHLIGHT OF THE SHORT TERM IS THE UPCOMING WINTER STORM
THAT WILL IMPACT THE AREA STARTING LATE TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY.
12Z DETERMINISTIC MODEL SOLUTIONS ARE CONSISTENT WITH PREVIOUS RUN
REGARDING THE TRACK AND PLACEMENT OF HEAVIEST SNOWFALL AMOUNTS OVER
THE AREA. HAVE OPTED TO USE THE RAW BLEND.

12Z MODELS HAVE WARMED A BIT FROM PREVIOUS MODEL RUNS AND AS A
RESULT HAVE CHANGED THE INITIAL IMPACTS OF THE UPCOMING STORM.
RATHER STARTING OUT AS LIGHT SNOW...THE NORTHWEST WILL SEE MORE OF A
MIX OF LIGHT SNOW...SLEET...AND FREEZING DRIZZLE STARTING SOMETIME
BETWEEN 00Z TO 06Z. THIS AREA OF MIXED PRECIPITATION...MAINLY LIGHT
IN INTENSITY...WILL SPREAD SOUTH AND EAST ACROSS THE AREA AND IMPACT
PORTIONS OF CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA BETWEEN 06Z AND 12Z AND THEN
EASTERN COUNTIES AFTER 12Z. THE CHANGE OVER TO ALL SNOW WILL OCCUR
NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST BETWEEN 09Z AND 18Z AS COLD AIR ADVECTION
STRENGTHENS ALLOWING COLDER AIR TO SPREAD SOUTHWARD OUT OF CANADA.

THE TIMING OF THE HEAVIEST SNOWFALL WILL OCCUR BETWEEN 12Z FRIDAY
AND 12Z SATURDAY AS STRONG OMEGA ALIGNS WITH THE SNOW GROWTH ZONE
IN A SUPER SATURATED ENVIRONMENT...ESPECIALLY FROM GRANT/SIOUX
COUNTIES NORTHEAST THROUGH THE DEVIL LAKES REGION. MODELS HAVE
BEEN CONSISTENT WITH THE PLACEMENT OF THE HEAVIEST SNOWFALL
ACCUMULATIONS...WITH 6 TO 10 INCHES OF SNOWFALL ACROSS THE
AFOREMENTIONED AREA. LESSER AMOUNTS WILL BE SEEN ACROSS THE
NORTHWEST AND SOUTHEAST. MIXED PRECIPITATION...IN THE FORM OF
FREEZING RAIN...SLEET...AND SNOW WILL IMPACT THE SOUTHEAST LONGER
RESULTING IN LESSER SNOWFALL AMOUNTS AND HIGHER ICE ACCUMULATIONS.

AS A RESULT OF THE PLACEMENT AND TIMING OF THE IMPACTS FROM THE
UPCOMING WINTER STORM...HAVE OPTED TO PLACE THE NORTHWEST (GOLDEN
VALLEY AND BILLINGS COUNTIES NORTHEAST THROUGH BURKE AND RENVILLE
COUNTIES) INTO A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY STARTING AT 6Z...SINCE
SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE IN THE 3 TO 6 INCH RANGE. AREAS
EAST OF THE ADVISORY WILL BE IN A WINTER STORM WARNING STARTING
AFTER 12Z...SINCE HEAVIER SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS OF 6 TO 10 INCHES
ARE EXPECTED WITH THIS WINTER STORM. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR AND
MAKE NECESSARY CHANGES AS NEEDED.

.LONG TERM...SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT THURSDAY...

THE EXTENDED PERIOD WILL BE DOMINATED BY A LONGWAVE TROUGH EXTENDING
FROM NORTHERN CANADA THROUGH THE CENTRAL US. THIS WILL ALLOW THE
ARCTIC AIR TO FLOW SOUTH INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS AND REMAIN FOR
AWHILE. BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES WITH LOWS WELL BELOW ZERO ARE
EXPECTED SUNDAY AND MONDAY MORNING...WITH MODERATING TEMPERATURES BY
TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY AS A PACIFIC RIDGE MOVES INTO THE WESTERN
CONUS AND NUDGES THE LONGWAVE TROUGH EASTWARD.

REGARDING PRECIPITATION IT WILL BE COLD AND DRY SUNDAY AND
MONDAY...THEN A SHORTWAVE IN THE NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL BRING A
SLIGHT CHANCE IN WESTERN NORTH DAKOTA MONDAY NIGHT...ACROSS THE WEST
AND CENTRAL TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. NO SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL IS
EXPECTED WITH THIS SYSTEM.

&&

.AVIATION...

AT 3 PM CST...SURFACE LOW PRESSURE WAS OVER THE MT/WY/SD/ND BORDER
