AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND FORKS ND
738 PM CST THU JAN 24 2013

.DISCUSSION...THE CURRENT CLIPPER SYSTEM IS UNFOLDING PRETTY MUCH
AS EXPECTED. THE STEADIER SNOW IS FALLING ACROSS THE FAR NE
FA...WHERE UP TO 4 INCHES IS STILL EXPECTED. ELSEWHERE...JUST
SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS WITH MINIMAL ACCUMULATIONS. NO CHANGES
NEEDED TO THE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR SNOW ACROSS NW
MINNESOTA. THE OTHER CONCERN FOR TONIGHT WILL BE WINDS AND BLOWING
SNOW POTENTIAL WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE COLD FRONT. CURRENT
OBSERVATIONS BEHIND THE COLD FRONT INDICATE WIND SPEEDS 25-35MPH
WITH GUSTS TO 40 MPH. THIS LINES UP WITH WIND PARAMETERS (STRONG
COLD AIR ADVECTION...925MB WINDS AROUND 35 KNTS...AND STRONG 3-HR
PRESSURE RISE). SIMILAR PARAMETERS ARE EXPECTED WITHIN THIS
FA...AND WILL INCREASE FORECASTED WIND SPEEDS TO THESE VALUES
ALONG AND WEST OF THE VALLEY (FOLLOWING THE TIMING OF THE 00Z
RAP). THERE IS LIMITED SNOW TO BLOW AROUND ACROSS MUCH OF THE
REGION...EXCEPT FOR PORTIONS OF THE DEVILS LAKE BASIN INTO THE
CAVALIER AREA WHERE AROUND 14 INCHES OF SNOWPACK EXIST. CURRENT
SOUTH WINDS 15-25 MPH ARE PRODUCING 1-2SM VSBY IN BLOWING
SNOW...MEANING NW WINDS 25-40MPH SHOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM PRODUCING
AT LEAST 1/2SM VSBY IN BLOWING SNOW (CANADIAN BLOWING SNOW MODEL
INDICATES AROUND 20 KNOTS NEEDED TO PRODUCE 1/2SM VSBY IN BLOWING
SNOW). WILL ISSUE A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR BLOWING SNOW AND
WIND CHILLS FOR THIS AREA. 00Z RAP ALSO SUGGESTS THAT COLD AIR
WILL FILTER INTO THE REGION FASTER THAN ANTICIPATED...AND WITH THE
STRONGER NW WINDS WILL ISSUE A WIND CHILL ADVISORY FOR MUCH OF THE
REGION ALONG AND WEST OF THE VALLEY WHERE THERE IS ONLY MINIMAL
SNOW TO BLOW AROUND.

&&

.AVIATION...CLIPPER SYSTEM WILL MOVE THROUGH THE REGION. THE
GENERAL IDEA FOR CIGS WILL BE MVFR...BECOMING VFR FRIDAY MORNING.
EXPECT SNOW TO MOVE ACROSS THE REGION THIS EVENING. LOWEST
CIGS/VSBY LIKELY WILL BE ON MN SIDE OR RRV (TVF). WINDS WILL SHIFT
TO THE NORTHWEST BY MORNING AND BECOME GUSTY.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 254 PM CST THU JAN 24 2013/

SHORT TERM...
20S OBS SHOW SFC LOW NEAR REGINA SASK WITH PRESSURE FALLS
INDICATING LOW WILL TRACK GENERALLY EAST AND BE NEAR PEMBINA
CLOSE TO 06Z THEN MOVE SOUTHEAST INTO NORTHERN MN OVERNIGHT. MOST
OF THE WIDESPREAD LONG TERM SNOW IS ALONG AND NORTH AND EAST OF
THIS LOW TRACK AND A BIT CLOSER TO THE VORT MAX TRACK WHICH WILL
RUN FROM NEAR YORKTON SASK TO WINNIPEG TO KENORA THEN INTO THE MN
ARROWHEAD. THE LAKE OF THE WOODS REGION IS ON THE SOUTHWESTERN
EDGE OF THIS HEAVIER BAND AND DO EXPECT SOME 3-4 INCH SNOWS
WARROAD-BAUDETTE-WASKISH AREAS. WFO DLH ISSUING ADV/WATCHES FOR
THIS EVENT AND WILL GO ALONG AND ISSUE WINTER WX ADVISORY FOR FAR
NE FCST AREA TONIGHT. REST OF THE FCST AREA TO SEE A BAND OF SNOW
MORE SO WITH THE AND OF WARM ADV WITH 1-2 ALONG CANADIAN BORDER TO
LESS THAN INCH DVL-GFK-PKD SOUTH.

OTHER CONCERN IS WIND LATER TONIGHT. MAIN COLD ADVECTION PUSH NW
ND INTO CNTRL ND WITH WIND POTENTIAL NOT EXTREMELY STRONG IN WRN
FCST AREA. MOST AREAS NOT GETTING MUCH EXCEPT 1-2 RIGHT ALONG
ND/MB BORDER WHERE WINDS WILL BE GUSTY BUT TERRIBLY STRONG. WILL
MENTION SOME BLSN IN GRIDS THRU THE NIGHT IN DVL BASIN INTO NRN
VALLEY DUE TO SOUTH WINDS THIS EVE THEN NORTHWEST LATER TONIGHT
BUT SINCE SNOWFALL ITSELF WILL BE LIMITED DURATION DONT EXPECT
ENOUGH FRESH SNOW FOR THIS WIND TO CAUSE SERIOUS ISSUES ATTM. EVE
SHIFT CAN MONITOR.

TEMPS WILL WARM THIS EVENING...PEAK 06Z-09Z THEN BEGIN TO FALL AS
COLDER AIR RETURNS FROM THE NORTHWEST. TEMPS FRIDAY WILL HOLD
GENERALLY STEADY IN THE SINGLE DIGITS ABOVE/BLO ZERO WITH A STIFF
NORTHWEST WIND.

HIGH PRESSURE TO MOVE IN FRI NIGHT THEN WARM UP BEGINS THIS
WEEKEND AS UPPER FLOW RETURNS TO THE SOUTHWEST ALOFT. THIS MAY
BRING PERIODS OF CLOUDS BUT LIMITED PRECIP.

LONG TERM... /SAT NIGHT THROUGH WED/
12Z RUNS OF LONG TERM MODELS IN MORE DISAGREEMENT THAN YESTERDAYS
12Z RUNS. LONG TERM BEGINS WITH LONG WAVE TROUGH OVER WRN CONUS. GFS
PROGS LWT OVER ROCKIES WHILE THE ECMWF PLACES IT MORE OVER
CALIFORNIA...ALSO WITH A CLOSED LOW. AT THE SFC...GFS HAS A DEEPER
SFC LOW OVER EASTERN ROCKIES THAN ECMWF IS SHOWING. DESPITE
DIFFERENCES...BOTH MODELS SHOW SNOWFALL OVER NORTHERN TIER AS A
NORTHERN WAVE MOVES ACROSS SRN CANADA. FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH CHANCE
POPS ACROSS FOR MONDAY. GFS THEN LIFTS CNTRL PLAIN LOW INTO WRN
IA/SWRN MN ON MON NIGHT...SETTING UP DEFORMATION ZONE OVER MY CWA.
YESTERDAY THIS FEATURE WAS FURTHER SOUTHEAST AND MAINLY IMPACTED
OUR SOUTHEASTERN ZONES. ECMWF NOT DOING MUCH WITH THE SFC LOW AND IS
STRONGER WITH THE NORTHERN WAVE WHILE THE CLOSED LOW REMAINS JUST
WEST OF OLYMPIC CALIFORNIA. THUS NOT A WHOLE LOT OF CONFIDENCE WITH
THE GFS SOLUTION AS IT HAS DIVERGED CONSIDERABLY FROM 12Z YESTERDAY.
WILL KEEP HIGH CHANCE POPS IN THE SOUTHEAST...BUT NOT RAISE TO
LIKELIES AS THE NEWER CONSALL GUIDANCE IS SUGGESTING. MOVING INTO
TUE...ECMWF CUTS OFF UPPER LOW AND DOES STRENGTHEN SFC LOW OVER
UPPER GREAT LAKES...IN GENERAL AGREEMENT WITH GFS LOCATION THAT IS
BASED ON BROADER TROUGHING THROUGHOUT THE CNTRL US. WILL KEEP
CONSALL POPS REALIZING IF ECMWF IS CORRECT...LOW WILL PULL OUT
QUICKER AND MOVE PRECIP OUT OF EASTERN ZONES BY TUE EVENING. MODELS
ACTUALLY IN BETTER AGREEMENT FOR TUE NIGHT INTO WED AS NORTHERLY
FLOW RETURNS...SETTING UP NEXT ARCTIC HIGH TO DROP IN ON WED. COLD
AIR THEN REMAINS IN PLACE FOR REST OF THE WORK WEEK. SHOULD SEE WELL
BELOW NORMAL TEMPS FROM WED THROUGH FRI.
