Area forecast discussion, May 23, 2:55 PM CDT, 2 hours 56 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BISMARCK ND
255 PM CDT FRI MAY 23 2014

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 255 PM CDT FRI MAY 23 2014

MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS ARE CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL...TIMING AND
PLACEMENT. VIS IMAGERY CONTINUES TO SHOW CU FIELD DEVELOPING
ACROSS SOUTHEAST CWA IN AREA OF DEWPOINTS AROUND 60F. A FEW
LIGHTNING STRIKES TO OUR EAST IN FGF CWA. MODELS CONTINUE TO
INDICATE BEST POTENTIAL FOR THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING ACROSS
JAMES VALLEY REGION. WILL CONTINUE TO COVER WITH LOW POPS DUE TO
ISOLATED/SCATTERED NATURE OF EXPECTED CONVECTION. PLENTIFUL
INSTABILITY IN PLACE WITH LATEST SPC MESO ANALYSIS SHOWING
1500-2500 J/KG SURFACE BASED INSTABILITY NUDGING INTO SOUTH
CENTRAL ND ALTHOUGH AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED SHEAR IS LIMITED WITH
BEST 0-6KM SHEAR VALUES OF 20-25KTS ACROSS SOUTHEAST. ANY
CONVECTION THAT DEVELOPS SHOULD DIMINISH BY MID EVENING.

INSTABILITY REMAINS IN PLACE ON SATURDAY WHILE SHORTWAVE IN
SOUTHWEST FLOW AND ASSOCIATED SURFACE FRONT APPROACH BY AFTERNOON.
DIFFICULT TO PIN DOWN EXACT PLACEMENT FOR STORMS ON SATURDAY SO
WILL CONTINUE TO CARRY CHANCE POPS MOST LOCATIONS. SPC HAS WESTERN
ND IN /SEE TEXT/ DISCUSSION FOR POSSIBILITY OF A COUPLE
STRONG/SEVERE STORMS.

.LONG TERM...(SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 255 PM CDT FRI MAY 23 2014

A MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE CIRCULATING AROUND THE CLOSED UPPER LOW IN THE
FOUR CORNERS WILL PEEL OFF AND GET ABSORBED IN THE NORTHERN STREAM
FLOW. THIS SHORTWAVE WILL CROSS INTO SOUTHWEST NORTH DAKOTA SATURDAY
NIGHT AS IT SLIDES OVER A LEE SIDE LOW IN EASTERN MONTANA. IN DOING
SO EXPECT THIS TO BECOME THE FOCUS FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY AS THE LEE SIDE TROUGH BECOMES A COLD
FRONT AND MOVES EAST ACROSS WESTERN AND CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA. ALONG
THE FRONT...THE STRONGEST 0-6KM SHEAR OF 30KT TO 35KT IS FORECAST TO
LINE UP WITH BULLS EYE OF THE MOST UNSTABLE CAPE. THE GFS IS
SLIGHTLY SLOWER WITH THE ADVANCING COLD FRONT SUNDAY...BEING WEST OF
BISMARCK AT 18Z...WHILE THE NAM AND ECMWF ALREADY HAVE THE FRONT
JUST EAST OF BISMARCK. DEPENDING ON WHERE THE FRONT ACTUALLY ENDS UP
WILL DETERMINE HOW FAR WEST THE LIKELY POPS AND POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS WILL EXTEND. THERE ARE SOMEWHAT STRONGER SHEAR VALUES
BEHIND THE FRONT BUT INSTABILITY PARAMETERS ARE ALSO WEAKER. WILL
CONTINUE WITH THE SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE FRONT WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS BEHIND THE
FRONT. MODELS DEPICT A DRY AFTERNOON IN THE FAR WEST WHICH WILL
GRADUALLY PROPAGATE ACROSS CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA SUNDAY EVENING/NIGHT
AS THE COLD FRONT AND SHORTWAVE SHIFT EAST SUNDAY EVENING.

ON MONDAY...THE GEM/ECMWF SHOW A FLATTER HEIGHT FIELD VERSUS THE GFS
WHICH HAS A MORE AMPLIFIED H7-H5 RIDGE IN PLACE KEEPING ANY THREAT
OF SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS FROM ENTERING THE WEST UNTIL AFTER 00Z
TUESDAY. MEMORIAL DAY STILL LOOKS DRY THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING AND
WILL CONTINUE THIS TREND IN THE GRIDDED FORECAST AS THE PREVIOUS
FORECAST HAD.

MONDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY...A SOUTHWEST FLOW IS THE
DOMINANT UPPER AIR PATTERN ACROSS WESTERN AND CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA
WITH A SERIES OF SHORTWAVES RIDING THROUGH. DAILY AFTERNOON AND
EVENING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE SCATTERED ABOUT WESTERN
AND CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA DURING THIS TIME.

BEYOND WEDNESDAY...THE LATEST GFS WANTS TO BUILD A HIGHLY AMPLIFIED
RIDGE INTO NORTH DAKOTA THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY. THE ECMWF BRIEFLY
SHOWS THIS FOR WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY THEN SHIFTS IT EAST
WITH A RETURN TO AN UNSETTLED WEATHER BY THURSDAY. PLENTY OF
UNCERTAINTY AS TO WHETHER OR NOT A BRIEF BREAK IN THUNDERSTORM
CHANCES OCCURS OR WILL IT BE MORE OF AN EXTENDED BREAK. HIGH
TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE 70S THROUGH WEDNESDAY WITH POSSIBLE 80S
IF THE RIDGE TAKES SHAPE AND DOMINATES TOWARD THE END OF THE
EXTENDED. OVERNIGHT LOWS ARE FORECAST MAINLY IN THE 50S.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SATURDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1258 PM CDT FRI MAY 23 2014

VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE PERIOD. ISOLATED TO
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING
MAINLY...SOUTH AND EAST...INCLUDING KDIK...KBIS...AND KMJS. BRIEF
REDUCTIONS BELOW VFR WOULD BE POSSIBLE IF ANY LOCATIONS ARE
DIRECTLY AFFECTED BY THUNDERSTORMS.
