Area forecast discussion, Sep 3, 9:18 PM CDT, 1 hour 6 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BISMARCK ND
918 PM CDT WED SEP 3 2014

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 916 PM CDT WED SEP 3 2014

THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS WESTERN NORTH DAKOTA HAVE INCREASED IN
COVERAGE OVER THE PAST COUPLE HOURS. HAVE INCREASED POPS ACROSS
THE SOUTHWEST AND CENTRAL PART OF THE STATE WITH THE HRRR AND RAP
SHOWING HIGHER THUNDERSTORM CHANCES FOR THOSE LOCATIONS.

UPDATE ISSUED AT 640 PM CDT WED SEP 3 2014

ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORM CONTINUES TO TRACK EAST ACROSS
NORTHWEST NORTH DAKOTA...WITH ADDITIONAL STRONG CONVECTION OVER
NORTHEAST MONTANA. SURFACE BASED CONVECTION HAS YET TO DEVELOP
OVER WESTERN NORTH DAKOTA BUT SUCCESSIVE RUNS OF THE HRRR HAVE
INDICATED SCATTERED CONVECTION ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST AND MOVING
INTO THE SOUTH CENTRAL. LATEST RUN IS HINTING MORE AT THE
CONVECTION IN NORTHEAST MONTANA TRACKING ACROSS THE NORTHWEST AND
NORTH CENTRAL. WILL NEED TO MONITOR FOR POSSIBLE CONVECTIVE WATCH
THIS EVENING.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 221 PM CDT WED SEP 3 2014

CURRENT SURFACE ANALYSIS PLACES LOW OVER SOUTHEAST MONTANA WITH
MOISTURE CONTINUING TO SLOWLY WRAP UP INTO CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA
AHEAD OF IT. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS PLACES TROUGH/LOW PUSHING FORWARD
INTO EASTERN MONTANA. INITIAL WAVE EJECTING AHEAD OF THE TROUGH
CONTINUES TO PRODUCE CONVECTION OVER NORTHEAST MONTANA. FORECAST
CHALLENGES FOR TODAY INCLUDE THE SEVERE POTENTIAL LATE TODAY INTO
TONIGHT...AND THEN GUSTY WINDS ON THURSDAY.

FOR THE REST OF THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT...UPPER TROUGH WILL
CONTINUE ITS EASTWARD PUSH WITH BROAD SCALE LIFT CONTINUING TO
INCREASE FROM WEST TO EAST. MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE AS
LOW SLOWLY SHIFTS TOWARDS NORTH CENTRAL SOUTH DAKOTA. INITIAL
DISCRETE STORMS THAT DEVELOP WILL ENCOUNTER INCREASING INSTABILITY
ALONG WITH IMPRESSIVE DEEP LAYER SHEAR. EXPECT INITIAL STORMS WILL
HAVE A MAINLY HAIL THREAT ALONG WITH A STRONG WIND THREAT. AS TIME
GOES ON AND STORM DEVELOPMENT WORKS EASTERLY ENCOUNTERING HIGHER
MOISTURE...THERE MAY BE A BRIEF TORNADO THREAT IF THE STORMS CAN
BE SURFACE BASED. WITH THAT SAID...THE HAIL AND WIND THREAT WILL
CONTINUE INTO THE LATE EVENING. FOCUS FOR SEVERE WILL SHIFT OVER
MAINLY CENTRAL INTO EASTERN NORTH DAKOTA OVERNIGHT AS PLUME OF
STRONG INSTABILITY REMAINS WITH STRONG THETA-E ADVECTION...WHILE
OVER THE WEST ATMOSPHERE WILL STABILIZE. STORMS SHOULD ALL BE
PUSHED OFF TO THE EAST BY SUNRISE WITH SHOWERS LINGERING.

ON THURSDAY...SOME SHOWERS WILL REMAIN PRIMARILY OVER THE NORTHERN
AND EASTERN PART OF THE STATE AS UPPER TROUGH MAKES ITS WAY EAST.
PRIMARY CONCERN WILL BE GUSTY WEST TO NORTHWESTERLY WINDS
DEVELOPING AS COLD AIR POURS INTO THE AREA WITH TIGHT PRESSURE
GRADIENT AS LOW SHIFTS INTO MINNESOTA. STRONGEST WINDS LOOK TO BE
OVER SOUTHWEST NORTH DAKOTA IN THE MORNING...WITH WINDS
DIMINISHING IN THE AFTERNOON AS GRADIENT RELAXES AND COLD AIR
ADVECTION DECREASES. TEMPERATURES WILL BE SEASONABLY COOL WITH
MANY LOCATIONS AROUND 10-15 DEGREES BELOW AVERAGE.

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 221 PM CDT WED SEP 3 2014

A NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT IS MAINTAINED THURSDAY NIGHT INTO
SATURDAY...THEN TRANSITIONS TO A ZONAL FLOW SUNDAY INTO WEDNESDAY. A
MORE ACTIVE PERIOD WILL EVOLVE DURING THE ZONAL FLOW PERIOD AS A
STRONG SHORTWAVE TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED POTENT COLD FRONT IS SLATED
TO SWEEP THROUGH TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY...WITH SEVERE WEATHER POSSIBLE.

GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS THURSDAY EVENING WILL QUICKLY SUBSIDE AS A
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE SLIDES ACROSS SOUTHWEST NORTH DAKOTA EARLY
THURSDAY NIGHT AND INTO CENTRAL SOUTH DAKOTA BY 12Z FRIDAY. A CLEAR
SKY...GOOD RADIATIONAL COOLING...AND DEWPOINTS IN THE UPPER 30S LOOK
REASONABLE TO SUPPORT OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE UPPER 30S ACROSS THE
SOUTHWEST...ESPECIALLY OVER THE NORMAL COLDER LOCATIONS SUCH AS
HETTINGER. HENCE HAVE LOWERED MINIMUM TEMPERATURES INTO THE UPPER
30S UNDER THIS WEATHER PATTERN. OVERALL...A QUIET/PLEASANT WEATHER
PATTERN CONTINUES FRIDAY/SATURDAY WITH A SLOW MODERATING TREND. H85
TEMPS BEGIN TO WARM LEADING TO HIGHS INTO THE 70S SATURDAY AND
SUNDAY. THERE WILL BE A SUBTLE DRY COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE SATURDAY
AFTERNOON...HOWEVER OTHER THAN A WINDSHIFT TO THE NORTHWEST...NOT
EXPECTING MUCH OF A TEMPERATURE CHANGE.

A MORE ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN SLOWLY BEGINS TO EMERGE SUNDAY NIGHT
AS A WEAK SHORTWAVE SLIDES THROUGH WITH WARM AIR ADVECTION PROCESSES
TAKING OVER. A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE
SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY MAINLY FOR THE JAMES RIVER VALLEY. THE
WARMEST DAY WILL BE MONDAY WITH HIGHS REACHING BETWEEN 75 AND 85.
THIS WILL BE FOLLOWED BY A STRONG COLD FRONT WHICH WILL APPROACH
NORTHWEST NORTH DAKOTA TUESDAY MORNING AND THEN SWEEP THROUGH
TUESDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING. A STRONG H85 BAROCLINIC ZONE SHIFTS
THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT WITH THE 0C TO -2C ISOTHERM SETTLING INTO
CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA WEDNESDAY. THIS TREND SETS THE STAGE FOR MUCH
COLDER AIR WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z THURSDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 640 PM CDT WED SEP 3 2014

SCATTERED CONVECTION THIS EVENING ACROSS WESTERN AND CENTRAL NORTH
DAKOTA AS A COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE AREA. FLOW WILL TURN
WEST TO NORTHWEST LATE TONIGHT AND THURSDAY WITH AREAS OF MVFR
CLOUDINESS...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NORTH...KISN TO KMOT. STRONG
NORTHWEST WINDS ON THURSDAY WITH THE STRONGEST 20 TO 35 MPH AT KDIK.
