AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BISMARCK ND
319 PM CST SAT JAN 11 2014

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 319 PM CST SAT JAN 11 2014

WARM FRONT MOVING THROUGH EASTERN MONTANA WILL BE THE FOCUS FOR A
MIX OF RAIN...FREEZING RAIN AND SNOW ACROSS THE REGION TONIGHT.
ROBUST LOW LEVEL WARM ADVECTION FIELD WITH H850 WINDS OF CLOSE TO
50 KTS PUSHING WARM AIR ALOFT EAST QUICKLY. EXPECT A FAIRLY FAST
MOVING SYSTEM AND THE CHALLENGE WILL BE TIMING THE PRECIPITATION
AND TEMPERATURES. ISSUED A FREEZING RAIN ADVISORY CENTRAL WHERE
BEST TEMPERATURES AND PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS EXIST TONIGHT.

FOLLOWING THIS...A FAST MOVING COLD FRONT WILL BRING STRONG AND
GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS INTO THE REGION. MODEL SOUNDINGS SUGGEST A
PERIOD OF 50 MPH WIND GUSTS LIKELY ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST INTO THE
SOUTH CENTRAL SUNDAY AFTERNOON.

.LONG TERM...(SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 319 PM CST SAT JAN 11 2014

THE MAIN FORECAST ISSUE IN THE LONG TERM WILL BE A SERIES OF CLIPPER
SYSTEMS THAT TRACK ACROSS SOUTHERN CANADA AND THE NORTHERN PLAINS.
EACH WILL BRING A CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION BUT FOR THE MOST PART IT
LOOKS LIKE PRECIPITATION WILL NOT RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT
AMOUNTS WITH EACH CLIPPER. THE MOST SIGNIFICANT HAZARD WITH
EACH SYSTEM WILL LIKELY BE WINDS.

BY SUNDAY EVENING THE FIRST CLIPPER WILL HAVE MOVED EAST ACROSS
SOUTH CENTRAL CANADA AND IS FORECAST TO BE CENTERED OVER
SOUTHWESTERN ONTARIO. STRONG AND GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS THAT
DEVELOPED DAYTIME SUNDAY ASSOCIATED WITH THE COLD FRONT OF THE
CLIPPER SHOULD DECREASE DURING THE EVENING HOURS...BUT REMAIN AT 20
TO 30 MPH IN THE EVENING AND DECREASE TO 10 TO 20 MPH AFTER MIDNIGHT
AS COLD AIR PUSHES INTO NORTH DAKOTA. LOOKING AT LOWS SUNDAY NIGHT
FROM THE SINGLE DIGITS ABOVE ZERO NORTH TO THE TEENS SOUTHWEST.

A WARM FRONT AHEAD OF THE SECOND CLIPPER SYSTEM MOVES INTO WESTERN
NORTH DAKOTA LATE SUNDAY NIGHT/MONDAY MORNING...WITH ASSOCIATED LIFT
AND CHANCES OF LIGHT SNOW - POSSIBLY MIXED WITH RAIN IN THE
SOUTHWEST DURING THE AFTERNOON.

STRONG WEST WINDS DEVELOP BEHIND THE SECOND CLIPPER'S WARM
FRONT...AND ARE FORECAST TO BECOME QUITE STRONG MONDAY AFTERNOON IN
THE SOUTHWEST. BY EARLY EVENING ON MONDAY THE CLIPPER IS FORECAST TO
BE CENTERED OVER EASTERN/CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA. WINDS TURN
NORTHWESTERLY AS THE CLIPPER'S COLD FRONT MOVES SOUTHEAST THROUGH
THE STATE...WITH AREAS SOUTH AND WEST OF THE MISSOURI SEEING THE
STRONGEST WINDS. H850 WINDS OF 50-60 KNOTS ARE FORECAST ACROSS
SOUTHWESTERN NORTH DAKOTA. WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA WILL LIKELY BE
REACHED MONDAY AFTERNOON AND MONDAY NIGHT FOR SOUTHWESTERN NORTH
DAKOTA. SNOW ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO BRING 1/2
INCH TO AN INCH OF SNOW ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST...AND AN INCH OR TWO OF
SNOW NORTH AND EAST OF THE MISSOURI. THE TRACK OF THE CLIPPER CENTER
IS A BIT UNCERTAIN WITH MODEL VARIABILITY...AND THIS SYSTEM WILL BE
WATCHED CLOSELY. AS CONFIDENCE ON SNOW PLACEMENT AND AMOUNTS
INCREASES...BLOWING SNOW MAY BECOME MORE OF A CONCERN AND REQUIRE
ISSUANCE OF A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY. WILL MENTION THE BLOWING SNOW
POSSIBILITY IN THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK.

IT COOLS DOWN A BIT ON TUESDAY BEHIND THE SECOND CLIPPER...THEN
WE WARM UP...POSSIBLY ABOVE FREEZING ACROSS THE ENTIRE FORECAST
AREA ON WEDNESDAY AS WE ARE IN THE WARM DRY SECTOR OF THE THIRD
CLIPPER THAT DROPS SOUTHEAST ACROSS CANADA...TO THE NORTHERN GREAT
LAKES REGION BY DAYBREAK THURSDAY MORNING. ONCE AGAIN WE WILL SEE
THE POTENTIAL FOR VERY STRONG WINDS BETWEEN THIS STRONG THIRD
CLIPPER AND HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE NORTHERN ROCKIES IN RESPONSE TO
A BUILDING WESTERN U.S. UPPER RIDGE. IT APPEARS THAT A WIND
ADVISORY WOULD BE NEEDED FOR ALL OF WESTERN AND CENTRAL NORTH
DAKOTA WITH THIS SYSTEM. WEST WINDS INCREASING DURING THE MORNING
ON WEDNESDAY...TURNING NORTHWEST AND INCREASING TO THE 30 TO 40
MPH WIND ADVISORY LEVELS WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY MORNING.
WINDS REMAIN STRONG OVER THE EASTERN CWA THROUGH THE DAY THURSDAY
WHILE WINDS SUBSIDE IN THE WEST. THERE COULD BE A FEW FLURRIES OR
LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS IN THE EAST AS MOISTURE WRAPS AROUND THE BACK
OF THE CLIPPER. WILL CONTINUE TO MENTION THE WIND POTENTIAL WITH
EACH OF THESE SYSTEMS IN THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK.

THE AFOREMENTIONED BUILDING UPPER RIDGE BUILDS INTO THE NORTHERN
ROCKIES ON FRIDAY WITH QUIET WEATHER EXPECTED THROUGH THE REMAINDER
OF THE FORECAST PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SUNDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 319 PM CST SAT JAN 11 2014

HAZARDS TO AVIATION FOR THE 18Z TAF PERIOD INCLUDE FREEZING RAIN
AND POTENTIAL FOR WIND SHEAR. AT 3 PM CST...A WARM FRONT WAS
MOVING INTO NORTHEAST MONTANA INTO SOUTHWEST NORTH DAKOTA. THE
WARM FRONT WILL BE THE FOCUS FOR RAIN...FREEZING RAIN AND SOME
SNOW TONIGHT. THE HIGHEST IMPACT FOR FREEZING RAIN WILL BE THE
KMOT-KBIS-KJMS AFTER 01Z. STRONG WINDS AT 2 THOUSAND FEET AGL WILL
CREATE THE POTENTIAL FOR WIND SHEAR.
