Area forecast discussion, Jul 5, 6:56 PM CDT, 1 hour 17 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BISMARCK ND
656 PM CDT SAT JUL 5 2014

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 655 PM CDT SAT JUL 5 2014

ISSUED SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 393 VALID THROUGH 07 UTC FOR MUCH
OF THE I-94 CORRIDOR ACROSS SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH CENTRAL NORTH
DAKOTA. MODERATE INSTABILITY AND EFFECTIVE DEEP LAYER SHEAR OF
35-40 KTS SUPPORT CONTINUED MAINTENANCE OF THE SUPERCELL ACROSS
GRANT COUNTY...WITH ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT POSSIBLE ALONG OUTFLOW
BOUNDARIES.

UPDATE ISSUED AT 534 PM CDT SAT JUL 5 2014

AS OF 2335 UTC...TWO CELLS NEAR SUPERCELL ORGANIZATION HAVE
FORMED ACROSS FAR NORTHWEST SOUTH DAKOTA AND SOUTHWEST NORTH
DAKOTA. THIS AREA IS BEING MONITORED FOR A POTENTIAL SEVERE
THUNDERSTORM WATCH PER SPC MCD #1277. FOLLOWING THE 20/21 UTC
RAP/HRRR...HAVE FOCUSED THE HIGHEST POPS ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE
I-94 CORRIDOR...WITH THEIR CURRENT HANDLING OF CONVECTION NORTH OF
THE INTERSTATE A BIT OVERDONE WITH THEIR LATEST ITERATIONS. GIVEN
HIGH LCLS AND FREEZING LEVELS...DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE THE PRIMARY
THREAT...WITH HAIL GROWTH AND TORNADO POTENTIAL LIMITED BY THE
WARM ENVIRONMENT AND HIGH STORM BASES.

&&

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

ISSUED AT 318 PM CDT SAT JUL 5 2014

MODERATELY UNSTABLE ACROSS THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON WITH STRONG
MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES EXTENDING INTO SOUTH CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA.
STILL HAVE SOME CONVECTIVE INHIBITION TO OVERCOME. SHORTWAVE
TROUGH MOVING THROUGH MONTANA THIS AFTERNOON SHOULD EVENTUALLY
PROVIDE LIFT ACROSS THE REGION AND A FRONTAL BOUNDARY LYING
ACROSS CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA SHOULD PROVIDE THE FOCUS FOR
THUNDERSTORMS THIS EVENING. NAM BUFKIT SOUNDINGS SHOW THERE IS A
NARROW WINDOW FOR CONVECTION ACROSS THE WEST BEFORE THE CAPE
VANISHES AND THE FOCUS WILL SHIFT TO THE CENTRAL AND EAST THIS
EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. WILL MENTION POSSIBILITY OF STRONG WIND AND
LARGE HAIL IN THE FORECAST THIS EVENING AND EARLY MORNING.
LIFTING CONDENSATION LEVELS ARE RELATIVELY HIGH SO TORNADO
THREAT NOT VERY LARGE. ON SUNDAY COOLER NORTHWEST FLOW/LOW LEVEL
COOLING WILL LIMIT THE CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL. HOWEVER DID ADD A
SLIGHT CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS SUNDAY AFTERNOON NORTHWEST WHERE
JET STREAM ENERGY MIGHT SUPPORT SOME WEAK CONVECTION.

.LONG TERM...(SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)

ISSUED AT 318 PM CDT SAT JUL 5 2014

FORECAST HIGHLIGHTS IN THE LONG TERM WILL BE PERIODIC
SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM CHANCES SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY...ALONG
WITH A COOL PERIOD FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER WARM UP.

OUR ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES COME TO AN END AS UPPER LEVEL FLOW
TURNS NORTHWEST. HIGHS WILL GENERALLY RANGE FROM THE MID TO UPPER
70S NORTH TO LOWER 80S SOUTH THROUGH TUESDAY. UPPER LEVEL RIDGING
THEN BUILDS OVER THE AREA MID TO LATE WEEK BRINGING TEMPERATURES
BACK ABOVE NORMAL.

OUR NORTHWEST FLOW WILL CONTINUE TO BRING A SERIES OF UPPER
IMPULSES THROUGH THE NORTHERN PLAINS...KEEPING DAILY THUNDERSTORM
CHANCES IN THE FORECAST...ALTHOUGH ALSO WITH A FEW DRY PERIODS.
WILL SEE A LEAD IMPULSE PUSH THROUGH THE NORTHERN PLAINS SUNDAY
NIGHT...FOLLOWED BY A MORE SIGNIFICANT WAVE DROPPING THROUGH THE
LOCAL AREA MONDAY/MONDAY EVENING. THE ECMWF STILL SHOWS A STRONGER
WAVE AND A LITTLE FARTHER WEST THAN THE GFS/GEM...BRINGING SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS TO THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA. THE GFS/GEM KEEP
PRECIPITATING CONFINED TO MAINLY EASTERN PORTIONS OF CENTRAL NORTH
DAKOTA INTO EASTERN NORTH DAKOTA. A BLENDED SOLUTION KEEPS A
SLIGHT CHANCE IN THE WEST WITH CHANCE POPS EAST.

THE ECMWF THEN BRINGS ANOTHER STRONGER SHORTWAVE TROUGH INTO THE
AREA ON FRIDAY WITH THE CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...THEN
COOLS THINGS DOWN AS WE HEAD INTO NEXT WEEKEND. THE GFS KEEPS MOST
OF THE ENERGY WITH THIS SYSTEM WELL NORTH OF THE LOCAL AREA...BUT
A SURFACE TROUGH EXTENDING SOUTH FROM CANADA WILL PROVIDE A FOCUS
MECHANISM FOR POSSIBLE THUNDERSTORMS BOTH FRIDAY AND
SATURDAY..WITH MUCH WARMER TEMPERATURES OVER THE AREA AS WE HEAD
THROUGH NEXT WEEKEND. BOTH MODELS HAVE BEEN INCONSISTENT DURING
THIS TIME FRAME SO WE'LL HAVE TO WAIT TO SEE HOW THINGS PLAY OUT.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SUNDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 534 PM CDT SAT JUL 5 2014

THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE WILL SLOWLY INCREASE THROUGH THE EVENING
ACROSS SOUTHWEST AND CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA. SOME STORMS MAY BE
SEVERE WITH LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS. SEE TAF FORECASTS FOR
TIMING AND THREAT DETAILS.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...

ISSUED AT 318 PM CDT SAT JUL 5 2014

THE SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF RUNOFF GENERATED BY RECENT HEAVY
RAINFALL HAS CREATED A SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE IN STORAGE AT BOTH
ALAMEDA DAM AND LAKE DARLING. RELEASES FROM ALAMEDA DAM AND LAKE
DARLING DAMS WILL CAUSE MINOR TO MODERATE FLOODING ON THE SOURIS
RIVER DOWNSTREAM OF LAKE DARLING THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK.
BACKWATER FROM CANADA WILL CAUSE WESTHOPE TO REMAIN IN MAJOR
FLOOD THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK THEN FALL SLOWLY BACK TO MODERATE
BY MID TO LAKE WEEK.
