Area forecast discussion, Jun 25, 8:04 PM MDT, 57 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BISMARCK ND
904 PM CDT WED JUN 25 2014

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 905 PM CDT WED JUN 25 2014

STILL QUITE UNSTABLE OVER EASTERN MONTANA INTO FAR SOUTHWEST NORTH
DAKOTA BUT CURRENTLY...NOT MUCH GOING ON WITH MEAGER MID LEVEL
LAPSE RATES. AN IMPULSE MOVING ACROSS NORTH DAKOTA IS PRODUCING
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA
INTO NORTH CENTRAL SOUTH DAKOTA. THERE IS SOME BULK SHEAR BUT
INSTABILITY CONTINUES TO DECREASE AS YOU MOVE FARTHER EAST. THUS
INCREASED POPS ACROSS THE CENTRAL THIS EVENING...AND DROPPED POPS
INTO THE CHANCE CATEGORY IN THE FAR WEST. ALSO ADDED SOME PATCHY
FOG MOST AREAS LATE TONIGHT.

UPDATE ISSUED AT 656 PM CDT WED JUN 25 2014

AN AREA OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO MOVE FROM WESTERN
IN TO CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA. THE AREA COVERED MAINLY PORTIONS OF
DUNN AND MERCER COUNTIES AS WELL AS WESTERN MCLEAN AND OLIVER
COUNTIES. THE MAIN THREAT WITH THIS CONVECTION WILL BE BRIEF HEAVY
DOWNPOURS AND DEADLY LIGHTNING ALONG THE SOUTHERN EDGE OF
CONVECTION. COULD BE SOME SMALL HAIL OR LOCALLY GUSTY WINDS BUT SO
FAR NO REPORTS OF ANY HAIL OR WINDS. OTHERWISE...CONVECTION IS
PRETTY SPOTTY ACROSS THE WEST AND LOWERED POPS TO THE CHANCE
CATEGORY WEST THROUGH MID EVENING. ALSO CONTINUED TREND OF
LOWERING SKY COVER SOUTH CENTRAL INTO THE JAMES RIVER VALLEY.

UPDATE ISSUED AT 533 PM CDT WED JUN 25 2014

QUICK UPDATE FOR CONVECTION MAINLY OVER DUNN COUNTY...MOVING INTO
WESTERN MCLEAN AND MERCER COUNTIES. RAISED POPS IN THESE AREAS
LATE THIS AFTERNOON. DID PUT OUT A SPS FOR THE CELL NEAR MARSHALL
FOR VERY HEAVY RAIN AND SMALL HAIL. SPOTTER REPORTED VERY HEAVY
RAIN AND NO HAIL. SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS OVER EASTERN MONTANA
WILL MOVE INTO NORTH DAKOTA THIS EVENING. WITH CURRENT STRONGER
CONVECTION STILL WEST OF THE GLENDIVE AREA...LOWERED LIKELY POPS
IN THE FAR WEST EARLY THIS EVENING. UPDATED LATEST SENSIBLE
OBSERVATIONS AND LOWERED SKY COVER A BIT IN THE SOUTH CENTRAL.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY)

ISSUED AT 317 PM CDT WED JUN 25 2014

CURRENT SURFACE ANALYSIS PLACES BROAD HIGH STRETCHING FROM ONTARIO
INTO THE UPPER MIDWEST/PORTIONS OF THE NRN PLAINS WHILE TROF REMAINS
OVER THE ROCKIES. LIGHT MOIST SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW HAS SET UP OVER
OUR AREA WITH DEWPOINT SLOWLY MOVING UP OVER MANY LOCATIONS. UPPER
LEVEL ANALYSIS PLACES RIDGE AXIS INTO THE EASTERN DAKOTAS WHILE
FLOW CONTINUES TO SLOWLY SHIFT TO THE SOUTHWEST OVER WESTERN NORTH
DAKOTA. INITIAL WAVE MOVING THROUGH THE FLOW CONTINUES TO PUSH
A FEW WEAK THUNDERSTORMS NEAR THE MONTANA STATE LINE.

FOR THE REST OF THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT...AFOREMENTIONED
THUNDERSTORMS WILL PUSH A BIT FURTHER EAST THOUGH HIGH-RES MODELS
HAVE THESE DISSIPATING WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS.
OTHERWISE...NEXT WAVE COMES PUSHING IN LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO
TONIGHT. INSTABILITY REMAINS ON THE WEAK SIDE SO EXPECT MOST
STORMS TO REMAIN TAME. ONLY EXCEPTION WOULD PROBABLY BE OVER FAR
SOUTHWESTERN SOUTH DAKOTA CLOSER TO THE HIGHER INSTABILITY AXIS.

ON THURSDAY...SHOWERS AND STORMS FROM OVERNIGHT WAVE ARE EXPECTED
TO BE MAINLY TOWARDS CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA AS SFC LOW STARTS TO
WORK ITS WAY TOWARDS THE SD/MT/WY INTERSECTION AND DEEPEN.
MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO LIFT INTO THE AREA AHEAD OF THE LOW.
CURRENT GUIDANCE SUGGESTS SECOND FLUSH OF STORMS TO START PUSHING
IN FROM MONTANA LATE AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING. SEVERE THREAT
REMAINS WITH THIS SYSTEM AS INSTABILITY QUICKLY INCREASES THROUGH
THE AFTERNOON AND SHEAR REMAINS PLENTY ADEQUATE FOR ROTATING
UPDRAFTS.

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)

ISSUED AT 317 PM CDT WED JUN 25 2014

VERY ACTIVE PATTERN THROUGH MUCH OF THE LONG TERM
PERIOD...THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY...TRENDING COOLER AND NOT
AS ACTIVE EARLY TO MID NEXT WEEK.

SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT DEVELOPS AND PERSISTS THROUGH SATURDAY.
SEVERAL EMBEDDED S/WV IMPULSES (A FEW POTENT)...ALONG WITH AN
ASSOCIATED SFC TROUGH...WILL BE THE FOCUS FOR
THUNDERSTORMS...SOME SEVERE WITH HEAVY RAIN. THE THREAT FOR SEVERE
WEATHER AND PRECIPITATION WILL GRADUALLY SHIFT FROM WEST TO EAST
WITH TIME. THE GREATER CHANCE FOR STORMS WILL BE ACROSS THE WEST
THURSDAY NIGHT AS THE TROUGH SLOWLY MOVES TO ALONG THE ND/MT
BORDER BY 12Z FRIDAY. THE TROUGH THEN ADVANCES SLOWLY EASTWARD
FRIDAY...TAKING UP RESIDENCE ACROSS THE CENTRAL DAKOTAS FRIDAY
AFTERNOON INTO FRIDAY NIGHT. THIS APPEARS TO BE THE MOST FAVORABLE
TIME FOR WIDESPREAD AND A PROLONGED PERIOD OF SEVERE WEATHER
(INCLUDING HEAVY RAINFALL RESULTING IN POSSIBLE FLASH FLOODING).
DUE TO THE STORM MOTION AND THAT MOST OF THURSDAY NIGHTS ACTIVITY
WILL BE WEST/NORTHWEST WHERE NOT MUCH HEAVY RAIN HAS OCCURRED THE
PAST SEVERAL DAYS...WILL AGAIN HOLD OFF FOR NOW ON A FLASH FLOOD
WATCH. CURRENT THINKING IS THE SOUTH CENTRAL INTO THE JAMES RIVER
VALLEY WILL BE THE MOST PRONE AREAS TO FLASH FLOODING ON
FRIDAY/SATURDAY AS THE TROUGH MOVES ACROSS CENTRAL AND EASTERN
NORTH DAKOTA. THIS AREA DID RECEIVE HEAVY RAINS THE PAST ONE WEEK.

COOLER AND MORE STABLE AIR FILTERS INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS LATER
SUNDAY INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK AS THE UPPER LEVEL LOW SLIDES EAST
ACROSS SOUTHERN CANADA. PRECIPITATION CHANCES LOOK TO REMAIN UNTIL
THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK WHEN MODELS DEVELOP NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT
AND TRY TO BRING SFC HIGH PRESSURE INTO THE DAKOTAS.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z THURSDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 905 PM CDT WED JUN 25 2014

LOW VFR CEILINGS AT KBIS AND KDIK. CONVECTION HAS INCREASED ACROSS
CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA IN THE PAST HOUR AND HAVE ADDED THUNDER TO
THE BISMARCK TAF. WILL MENTION PERIODS OF THUNDERSTORMS ALL AREAS
MID-LATE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. NUMERICAL GUIDANCE IS HINTING A
MVFR- IFR CEILINGS AT ALL TAF SITES. MODEL GUIDANCE IS ALSO
SUGGESTING ABUNDANT MOISTURE AT 925 MB LATE TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY
MORNING. DID ADD A MENTION OF MVFR CEILINGS FOR A FEW HOURS AT ALL
TAF SITES THURSDAY MORNING.
