Area forecast discussion, Jun 21, 4:31 PM CDT, 1 minute before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BISMARCK ND
431 PM CDT SAT JUN 21 2014

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 430 PM CDT SAT JUN 21 2014

UPDATED THE FORECAST TO INCLUDE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH NUMBER
342 FOR PORTIONS OF THE JAMES RIVER BASIN.

LAPS ANALYSIS INDICATES SURFACE-BASED CAPE VALUES BETWEEN
2000-3000 J/KG NOSING NORTH INTO THE JAMES RIVER BASIN THIS
AFTERNOON. FURTHERMORE...SPC ANALYSIS INDICATES PWATS AROUND 1.4
INCHES NOSING INTO THE SAME REGION. THIS IS ABOUT 2 STANDARD
DEVIATIONS GREATER THAN NORMAL DEEP LAYER MOISTURE CONTENT. GIVEN
THE COMBINATION OF COPIOUS MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY...WILL CONTINUE
WITH THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR PORTIONS OF SOUTH CENTRAL AND
SOUTHEASTERN NORTH DAKOTA FOR THIS UPDATE. THE UPDATED PRODUCTS
HAVE BEEN SENT.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 145 PM CDT SAT JUN 21 2014

CURRENT SURFACE ANALYSIS PLACES COLD FRONT PUSHING THROUGH WRN
ND...WHILE SRLY FLOW AHEAD OF THE FRONT CONTINUES TO ADVECT
MOISTURE INTO THE AREA. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS PLACES LOW SPINNING
ALONG THE MANITOBA/SASKATCHEWAN BORDER WITH ACTIVE SWRLY FLOW OVER
OUR AREA.

FOR THE REST OF THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT...SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL START TO DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON AS FRONT
CONTINUES TO WORK ITS WAY EASTWARD. AREA OF PRIMARY CONCERN FOR
SEVERE THREAT REMAINS OVER PTNS OF S CTRL ND INTO ERN ND. MODELS
CONTINUE TO SHOW THE STRONGEST INSTABILITY (1.5+ KJ/KG) OVER THIS
AREA WITH SUFFICIENT SHEAR (~40 KT 0-6KM BULK) TO SUPPORT
SUPERCELLS. FLASH FLOODING CONCERNS ALSO OVER THIS AREA GIVEN PLENTY
OF MOISTURE TO WORK WITH AND ALREADY SATURATED GROUND. EXPECT
STORMS TO LINGER OVER AFOREMENTIONED AREAS THIS EVENING AHEAD OF
THE COLD FRONT IN STRONG THETA-E ADVECTION BEFORE SHIFTING EAST
OVERNIGHT.

ON SUNDAY...QUIETER AND COOLER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED IN THE WAKE
OF THE COLD FRONT WHILE UPPER LOW LINGERS OVER SWRN MANITOBA. HAVE
DRIED MOST AREAS OUT BUT WILL KEEP SOME POPS ALONG THE
INTERNATIONAL BORDER IN AREA OF STRONGER CYCLONIC FLOW.

.LONG TERM...(SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 145 PM CDT SAT JUN 21 2014

UPPER LEVEL LOW OVER MANITOBA WILL PUSH ANOTHER SHORTWAVE TROUGH AND
ASSOCIATED SURFACE FRONT FROM NORTH TO SOUTH MONDAY INTO MONDAY
EVENING. THE BEST CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION WILL OCCUR OVER THE
NORTHERN PORTION OF THE STATE WITH SLIGHT CHANCES FARTHER SOUTH.
THAT BEING SAID...EXPECT SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS NORTH
WITH ISOLATED ACTIVITY SOUTH. SEVERE WEATHER INDICES ARE NOT OVERLY
IMPRESSIVE AS WEAK SHEAR/15KT COMBINED WITH CAPE OF AROUND 800 J/KG
WILL BE ENOUGH TO GENERATE SOME THUNDERSTORMS...BUT NO SEVERE
WEATHER IS ANTICIPATED AT THIS TIME. COOLER ON TUESDAY WITH H85
TEMPERATURES RANGING FROM +14C IN THE SOUTHWEST TO +10C IN THE NORTH
CENTRAL. THAT WILL RESULT IN HIGHS IN THE UPPER 60S IN THE NORTH TO
TO THE LOWER 70S SOUTH. A TRANSITORY BROAD RIDGE WILL SCOOT ACROSS
WESTERN AND CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA WEDNESDAY KEEPING THE THREAT OF ANY
SIGNIFICANT PRECIPITATION TO A MINIMUM/SLIGHT CHANCE. HOWEVER THIS
WILL CHANGE BEGINNING WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND CONTINUE THROUGH SATURDAY
AS A SOUTHWEST FLOW TO SOUTHERLY FLOW ALOFT SETS UP. THIS WILL
INCREASE THE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE FIELD WITH SEVERAL CHANCES OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DURING THE PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SUNDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 145 PM CDT SAT JUN 21 2014

A COLD FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE THROUGH THE AREA WITH WINDS
SHIFTING TOWARDS THE NORTHWEST AS IT PASSES. THUNDERSTORMS WILL
DEVELOP PRIMARILY OVER CTRL INTO ERN ND LATER THIS AFTERNOON INTO
EVENING. THE GREATEST THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE WILL BE INVOF KJMS
WITH COVERAGE TAPERING TOWARDS THE NORTH AND WEST. SEVERE STORMS
WILL BE POSSIBLE FROM KBIS EASTWARD...WITH LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING
WIND GUSTS POSSIBLE THROUGH THIS EVENING. OTHERWISE...VFR
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED.
