Area forecast discussion, Jun 18, 6:56 PM CDT, 2 hours 13 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BISMARCK ND 656 PM CDT WED JUN 18 2014 .UPDATE... ISSUED AT 653 PM CDT WED JUN 18 2014 QUICK UPDATED TO CANCEL THE TORNADO WATCH FOR OLIVER...MORTON...GRANT...SIOUX AND BURLEIGH COUNTIES. UPDATE ISSUED AT 556 PM CDT WED JUN 18 2014 TORNADO WATCH HAS BEEN CANCELLED FOR STARK...ADAMS AND HETTINGER COUNTIES. STRONG THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE ACROSS THE FAR SOUTH CENTRAL BUT HAVE GENERALLY BEEN BELOW SEVERE LEVELS. THESE STORMS CONTINUE TO DECREASE IN INTENSITY AS THEY LIFT NORTH INTO A MORE STABLE LOW LEVEL AIRMASS. CAN NOT COMPLETELY RULE OUT A STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM YET THIS EVENING...WE THINK MAINLY ALONG THE SOUTH DAKOTA BORDER FROM THE MISSOURI RIVER INTO THE JAMES RIVER VALLEY. AS MOISTURE FROM THE CENTRAL PLAINS CONTINUES TO FEED INTO THE CENTRAL DAKOTAS. WEST OF THE INVERTED SURFACE TROUGH SUBSIDENCE IS SIGNIFICANT AND SURFACE FLOW HAS TURNED NORTHERLY. THUS THE FLOOD WATCH HAS BEEN CANCELLED FOR THE SOUTHWEST THROUGH THE FAR NORTH CENTRAL INCLUDING DICKINSON...HETTINGER...WATFORD CITY AND WILLISTON. && .SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY) ISSUED AT 224 PM CDT WED JUN 18 2014 MAIN FORECAST ISSUE TODAY WILL BE CONVECTION THROUGH TONIGHT. CURRENTLY...TORNADO WATCH 322 IS IN EFFECT FOR PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH CENTRAL. SURFACE LOW OVER SOUTH CENTRAL SOUTH DAKOTA WITH AN INVERTED TROUGH INTO SOUTHWEST NORTH DAKOTA. ABUNDANT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE CONTINUES TO POOL OVER CENTRAL AND WESTERN NORTH DAKOTA ALONG THE INVERTED TROUGH HELPING TO DESTABILIZE THE LOWER ATMOSPHERE. AN UPPER LEVEL LOW LIFTING NORTH THROUGH MONTANA IS PROVIDING ABUNDANT UPPER LEVEL DIFFLUENCE OVER THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA. IMPULSES LIFTING NORTH AROUND THE UPPER LOW ARE PROVIDING ABUNDANT BULK SHEAR AS THE SYSTEM NEARS. THIS ENTIRE SETUP IS RESULTING IN AN INCREASED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH CENTRAL THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. REGARDING THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH...PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES IN EXCESS OF 1.5 INCHES ARE SITUATED OVER SOUTH CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA THIS AFTERNOON. CURRENT BACK EDGE OF CONVECTION LOOKS TO BE ESTABLISHING ITSELF OVER BOWMAN COUNTY. THUS THE WESTERN EXTENT OF THE WATCH LOOKS GOOD. THIS AREA WILL BE THE FIRST TO BE OUT OF THE HEAVY RAIN THREAT THIS EVENING. FARTHER EAST...EASTERN PORTIONS OF CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA FROM THE TURTLE MOUNTAINS TO THE JAMES RIVER VALLEY LOOK LIKE THEY MAY NOT SEE CONVECTION UNTIL MID EVENING. BY THIS TIME THE UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL BE LIFTING NORTHEAST. THUS ALTHOUGH HEAVY RAIN IS EXPECTED...STORMS SHOULD BE PROPAGATING FORWARD WITH LESS CHANCE OF STORMS TRAINING OVER THE SAME AREA. THE AXIS OF GREATEST MOISTURE WILL SHIFT OVER THIS AREA. THUS THERE WILL BE A POTENTIAL OF HEAVY RAIN AND WILL LET THE WATCH RIDE FOR NOW. THINGS FINALLY QUIET DOWN LATE TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY...BUT WITH THE UPPER LOW TRACKING ALONG THE INTERNATIONAL BORDER...WILL KEEP SOME SLIGHT CHANCE TO CHANCE POPS ACROSS THE AREA...MAINLY AFTERNOON DIURNALLY DRIVEN. .LONG TERM...(THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY) ISSUED AT 224 PM CDT WED JUN 18 2014 BROAD UPPER LOW SLOWLY WORKS ITS WAY EASTWARD JUST TO THE NORTH OF THE INTERNATIONAL BORDER KEEPING CYCLONIC FLOW OVER THE AREA THROUGH FRIDAY AFTERNOON. THIS WILL BRING CHANCES FOR SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS MAINLY OVER THE NRN CWA...THOUGH EXPECT ANY STORMS SHOULD REMAIN TAME WITH INSTABILITY ON THE WEAK SIDE. QUIET WEATHER EXPECTED FRIDAY NIGHT BEHIND DEPARTING LOW AS IT STARTS TO SHIFT MORE NORTHEASTERLY. AN ACTIVE WESTERLY FLOW PATTERN DEVELOPS FOR THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...BRINGING A NEAR DAILY CHANCE FOR SHOWERS/STORMS. TEMPS WILL BE NEAR AVERAGE. && .AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z THURSDAY EVENING) ISSUED AT 656 PM CDT WED JUN 18 2014 MVFR CONDITIONS IN RAIN WITH EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS...FOG AND STRATUS WILL IMPACT KBIS/KMOT/KJMS THIS EVENING.
