AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BISMARCK ND
953 PM CDT MON MAY 26 2014

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 953 PM CDT MON MAY 26 2014

THE 01 UTC HRRR SUGGESTS THAT THE SUPERCELL ACROSS DUNN COUNTY AND
MULTI CELL CLUSTERS ACROSS SOUTHEAST MCKENZIE AND BILLINGS
COUNTIES AS OF 245 UTC WILL CONTINUE TO PROPAGATE SOUTHEAST OVER
THE NEXT TWO TO FOUR HOURS...POTENTIALLY INTO THE BISMARCK/MANDAN
AREA...DICKINSON...MOTT AND GLEN ULLIN. GIVEN INSTABILITY AND
SHEAR PROFILES SUPPORTIVE OF CONTINUED ORGANIZED CONVECTION...AND A
WEAK LOW LEVEL JET...FOLLOWED CLOSELY TO HRRR FOR POPS. WILL ALSO
HAVE TO MONITOR THE CLUSTER OF STORMS NEAR THE INTERNATIONAL
BORDER. ADDED A SEVERE MENTION FOR ALL POPS THROUGH 06 UTC TONIGHT
FOR NOW AND WILL RE-EVALUATE LATER.

UPDATE ISSUED AT 636 PM CDT MON MAY 26 2014

THIS UPDATE TO FOCUS IN THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE NORTHWEST.
TRIMMED POPS SOUTH AND EAST FOR THE EVENING AND LOWERED CLOUDS
ALSO.

UPDATE ISSUED AT 518 PM CDT MON MAY 26 2014

SEVERAL STRONG THUNDERSTORMS ARE IMPACTING NORTHWEST NORTH DAKOTA
AND ADDED LARGE HAIL TO THE WEATHER GRIDS FOR SEVERAL HOURS EARLY
THIS EVENING. OTHERWISE WILL CONTINUE TO UPDATE POPS THROUGH THE
EVENING WITH THE LINE AS IT MOVES EAST.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH TUESDAY)

ISSUED AT 252 PM CDT MON MAY 26 2014

THE MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGE WILL BE THE CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL OVER
WESTERN NORTH DAKOTA THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...AND AGAIN OVER
WESTERN AND CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA TUESDAY.

CONVECTION IS ALREADY FIRING OVER NORTHEASTERN MONTANA ALONG A
SURFACE TROUGH. THE ENVIRONMENT IS CHARACTERIZED BY SFC-BASED CAPE
AROUND 1400 J/KG AND 0-6 KM WIND SHEAR AROUND 40 KNOTS. SOME OF
THESE STORMS COULD BECOME SEVERE LATER THIS AFTERNOON AS THEY MOVE
INTO NORTHWESTERN NORTH DAKOTA...WITH LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING
WINDS BEING THE PRIMARY THREATS. ADDED SEVERE MENTION TO THE
NORTHWESTERN ZONES FOR LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS A
RESULT.

ONGOING CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO SLOWLY MOVE EAST INTO CENTRAL
NORTH DAKOTA TONIGHT. HOWEVER...THUNDERSTORM INTENSITY SHOULD
DECREASE AS THE BOUNDARY LAYER STABILIZES DUE TO LOSS OF DAYTIME
HEATING.

BY TUESDAY...THE SURFACE TROUGH IS PROGGED TO STALL OVER CENTRAL
NORTH DAKOTA. INCREASING MUCAPE VALUES AROUND 1500 J/KG COMBINED
WITH A WEAK UPPER WAVE WILL GENERATE CHANCE TO LIKELY POPS OVER
CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA TUESDAY AFTERNOON. HOWEVER...IT LOOKS LIKE
THE BEST DEEP LAYER SHEAR WILL LIFT NORTH INTO CANADA TUESDAY
AFTERNOON. GIVEN THE MARGINAL DEEP LAYER SHEAR...REMOVED SEVERE
MENTION FROM TUESDAY'S FORECAST...CONSISTENT WITH THE LATEST SPC
DAY 2 OUTLOOK. HOWEVER...STRONG THUNDERSTORMS WILL STILL BE
POSSIBLE WITH SMALL HAIL AND GUSTY WINDS POSSIBLE IN THE STRONGER
STORMS.

.LONG TERM...(TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY)

ISSUED AT 252 PM CDT MON MAY 26 2014

FORECAST HIGHLIGHTS IN THE LONG TERM PERIOD WILL BE WARM
TEMPERATURES WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY FOLLOWED BY A COOL DOWN FRIDAY
THROUGH THE WEEKEND...ALONG WITH CHANCES FOR STRONG TO SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS WEDNESDAY...THURSDAY...AND FOR PORTIONS OF THE AREA
FRIDAY.

FOR TUESDAY EVENING...UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS OVER NORTHERN
TEXAS AND THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST WITH AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE EXTENDING
FROM THE DESERT SOUTHWEST NORTHEAST INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS.
POSSIBLE STRONG TO SEVERE CONVECTION FROM TUESDAY AFTERNOON WILL BE
ONGOING OR EXITING OVER MY EASTERN COUNTIES TUESDAY EVENING AS AN
EMBEDDED S/WV IMPULSE TRACKS EAST ACROSS NORTH DAKOTA. RIDGE AXIS
BUILDS NORTH ACROSS THE DAKOTAS LATER TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY
MORNING...AND SHOULD ACT TO STEER ANY OTHER EMBEDDED WAVES NORTHERLY
ACROSS EASTERN MONTANA...PERHAPS GRAZING WEST OR NORTH CENTRAL NORTH
DAKOTA DURING THE AM HOURS. WE ARE THEN VERY MUCH CAPPED DURING THE
DAY WEDNESDAY WITH STRONG SOUTHERLY FLOW/WAA ACROSS THE REGION. BEST
CHANCES FOR STORMS WEDNESDAY NIGHT WILL BE ACROSS THE WEST CLOSER TO
SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT AND NEAR A SFC TROUGH NEARING THE MT/ND
BORDER.

SFC TROUGH MOVES SLOWLY EAST ACROSS WESTERN INTO CENTRAL NORTH
DAKOTA THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND THURSDAY NIGHT...AND WILL BE THE FOCUS
FOR DIURNALLY DRIVEN THUNDERSTORMS...SOME POTENTIALLY SEVERE GIVEN
THE INSTABILITY ADVERTISED. MID LEVEL SUPPORT UNCERTAIN. ANOTHER
ROUND OF STORMS POSSIBLE OVER MY SOUTHEAST ON FRIDAY AS THE SFC
TROUGH STALLS ACROSS THE FAR SOUTH CENTRAL...NORTHEAST THROUGH THE
JAMES AND RED RIVER VALLEYS.

UNCERTAINTY RAMPS UP FOR THE COMING WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT
WEEK...WITH MODELS DISAGREEING ON THE EVOLUTION OF AN AREA OF UPPER
LEVEL LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPING OVER THE DESERT SOUTHWEST AND THE
TIMING AND TRACK OF THIS FEATURE AS IT IS EVENTUALLY EJECTED NORTH
AND EAST. WHICHEVER MODEL VERIFIES...COOLER TEMPERATURES ARE
FORECAST THROUGH THE WEEKEND...AND EVENTUALLY WILL SEE PRECIPITATION
CHANCES INCREASE AS THE LOW APPROACHES AND MOVES THROUGH THE REGION.
ALLBLEND MODEL GUIDANCE WAS USED FOR NOW.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z TUESDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 953 PM CDT MON MAY 26 2014

ADDED TEMPO GROUPS FOR KDIK AND KBIS FOR LATE THIS EVENING AS
STORMS CURRENTLY TO THE NORTH AND WEST OF THE TERMINALS ARE
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO MOVE SOUTHEAST. THREAT OF THUNDERSTORMS
BECOMES MORE NUMEROUS AGAIN BETWEEN KMOT-KBIS AND EAST AFTER 16Z
