AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND FORKS ND
1122 PM CDT WED AUG 28 2013

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 1120 PM CDT WED AUG 28 2013

NO MAJOR CHANGES PLANNED TO THIS UPDATE. A BAND OF CONVECTION
WILL MOVE INTO WESTERN/CENTRAL ND OVERNIGHT AHEAD OF A STRONGER
SHORTWAVE. ADDITIONAL SHOWERS/STORMS MAY DEVELOP OVER EASTERN ND
LATER TONIGHT WITH INCREASING MID LEVEL WAA AND INSTABILITY. THIS
IS ALL HANDLED WELL IN THE CURRENT GRIDS. THERE COULD BE SOME VERY
PATCHY FOG BEFORE CLOUDS INCREASE...BUT WITH NO EVIDENCE OF FOG
YET AND THE HRRR NOT INDICATING ANY...FOR NOW WILL LEAVE OUT...BUT
SOMETHING TO MONITOR. THERE COULD BE SEVERE STORMS LATER TONIGHT
AND A BETTER CHANCE ON THU...WITH AMPLE INSTABILITY/SHEAR. PWATS
ALSO RISE OVER 2 INCHES IN SOME AREAS...SO LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN WILL
ALSO BE A THREAT.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 323 PM CDT WED AUG 28 2013

WEAK SURFACE BOUNDARY HAS DROPPED OUT OF MANITOBA AND EXTENDS FROM
FLAG ISLAND TO JUST SOUTH OF ROSEAU TO ST THOMAS TO CANDO. THIS
BOUNDARY IS PROGGED TO DROP JUST A BIT SOUTH AND WITH DEW PTS NR
70 ALONG BOUNDARY AND HEATING OF TEMPS INTO THE LOWER 90S ALONG
BOUNDARY ALL CAUSING A FEW STORMS TO FIRE. WILL NEED TO INCLUDE
ISOLD POP FOR THIS THRU SUNSET.

OTHERWISE MAIN ACTION LATE TONIGHT. WATER VAPOR SHOWS NEXT SHORT
WAVE MOVING INTO SOUTHWEST MONTANA AT 19Z. THIS SHORT WAVE WILL
MOVE EAST ON TOP OF THE 500 MB RIDGE AND INTO ERN ND TOWARD 12Z
AND THEN INTO MINNESOTA THURSDAY THROUGH 18Z. ALL MODELS INDICATE
A 30-35 KT LOW LEVEL JET ALONG 850 MB BOUNDARY WHICH WILL LIE IN
THE CENTRAL PART OF THE STATE LIKELY JUST NORTH OF I-94.
SOUTHEASTERLY UPSLOPE FLOW INTO EASTERN MONTANA AIDING IN STORM
DEVELOPMENT THERE AND EXPECT AS SHORT WAVE MOVES INTO CNTRL
MONTANA STORM TO GROW IN COVERAGE AND SEEMS AS IF AN MCS IS LIKELY
TO FORM AND MOVE EAST INTO WRN ND LATER THIS EVE AND THEN CNTRL ND
OVERNIGHT REACHING THE RED RIVER VALLEY LIKELY AFTER 08Z. TRIED TO
TIME POPS A BIT MORE TOWARD THAT IDEA...WITH LIKELY POPS 09Z-12Z
IN MUCH OF ERN ND. SEVERE WX BY THEN QUESTIONABLE....BUT WITH
PWATS OF 2.10 INCHES ALONG 850 MB BOUNDARY HEAVY RAIN SEEMS
REASONABLE. COULD BE LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING ISSUES BUT WHERE AND
WHEN CANNOT SAY AND CONDITIONS PRIOR TO RAIN HAVE BEEN VERY VERY
DRY.

SYSTEM WILL MOVE EAST WITH PRECIP ENDING IN THE MORNING IN ERN ND
AND IN THE AFTN IN NW MN.

.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 323 PM CDT WED AUG 28 2013

DRY THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY WITH HIGH PRESSURE MOVING. A TAD
COOLER BUT NOT MUCH.

FOR SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...LONG WAVE PATTERN IS ZONAL AND
SPLIT ACROSS NORTH AMERICA AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PERIOD AND
AMPLIFIES BY THE END OF THE PERIOD. LONG WAVE UPPER RIDGE REMAINS
FROM THE DESERT SOUTHWEST INTO MT. THE ECMWF AND GFS WERE IN
AGREEMENT AT 84 HOURS. THE ECMWF IS A FASTER SOLUTION THAN THE GFS
BY THE END OF THE PERIOD. BOTH GFS AND ECMWF HAVE SHIFTED WEST IN
THE LAST MODEL RUN. WILL BLEND THE ECMWF AND GFS.

WILL KEEP YESTERDAYS PRECIP FOR SAT NIGHT. BUMPED UP POPS FOR SUN.
TOOK OUT PRECIP FOR TUE.

TEMPERATURES WERE LOWERED A DEGREE OR TWO FOR SUN AND MON AND RAISED
ONE OR TWO DEGREES FOR TUE AND WED COMPARED TO YESTERDAYS RUN.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z THURSDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 1120 PM CDT WED AUG 28 2013

THE CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL INCREASE FROM WEST TO EAST
BY LATE TONIGHT INTO THU. EXPECT MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS...ALTHOUGH
MVFR AND EVEN IFR CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE NEAR STRONGER STORMS
CONTAINING VERY HEAVY RAIN AND STRONGER WINDS. THE BEST CHANCE FOR
PROLONGED RAIN TOMORROW SHOULD OCCUR ACROSS THE NORTH.
