AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BISMARCK ND
700 PM CDT SAT APR 26 2014

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 645 PM CDT SAT APR 26 2014

WILL NEED TO ADD EVENING POPS TO THE ZONES EAST OF A LINE FROM
BISMARCK TO MINOT. ELEVATED CONVECTION WAS INITIATING IN
NORTHEAST SOUTH DAKOTA ALONG AN AXIS OF MOST UNSTABLE CAPE AS
DEPICTED ON THE MESOSCALE ANALYSIS. NWS ABERDEEN HAS HAD REPORTS
OF PEA SIZE HAIL WITH THE STRONGER STORMS EAST OF ABERDEEN SOUTH
DAKOTA. WIND SPEEDS WARRANT KEEPING THE WIND ADVISORIES IN PLACE. NO
OTHER CHANGES THIS UPDATE CYCLE.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 343 PM CDT SAT APR 26 2014

THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE SHORT TERM INCLUDE STRONG WINDS AND
PRECIPITATION POTENTIAL.

CURRENTLY...THE NARROW BAND OF SHOWERS HAS LIFTED INTO THE FAR NORTH
CENTRAL COUNTIES NORTH OF MINOT TO THE DEVILS LAKE BASIN AND WAS
MOVING INTO THE TURTLE MOUNTAIN AREA. THIS BAND OF SHOWERS SHOULD BE
NORTH OF THE CANADIAN BORDER BY THE EVENING. A LARGE UPPER LEVEL
TROUGH EXTENDED ALONG THE NORTH AMERICAN ROCKIES...WITH A SURFACE
LOW OVER EASTERN COLORADO AND ONE OVER FAR SOUTHEASTERN MONTANA.
STRONG EAST-SOUTHEAST WINDS HAD BEEN INCREASING ACROSS NORTH
DAKOTA...AND HAD ISSUED A WIND ADVISORY FOR THE AFTERNOON AND
EVENING HOURS FOR COUNTIES MAINLY SOUTH AND WEST OF THE MISSOURI
RIVER...BUT ALSO INCLUDING A FEW COUNTIES IN THE FAR SOUTH CENTRAL.

FOR WINDS TONIGHT...THE LATEST MODELS AND MODEL GUIDANCE INDICATE A
MORE INTENSE SURFACE LOW AND SUPPORTING SURFACE TO MID-LEVEL WINDS
THAT SHOULD RESULT IN STRONGER WINDS THAN EARLIER FORECAST. WILL
EXPAND THE WIND ADVISORY EASTWARD FOR TONIGHT TO INCLUDE THE JAMES
RIVER BASIN BEGINNING AFTER 10 PM CDT...AND THE WIND ADVISORY ON
SUNDAY WILL INCLUDE EMMONS COUNTY TO PIERCE AND ROLETTE COUNTY AND
EASTWARD.

IN SUMMARY FOR WINDS...STRONGEST WINDS IN THE SOUTHWEST TODAY/THIS
EVENING TRANSITIONING TO THE SOUTH CENTRAL OVERNIGHT AND INTO THE
EASTERN HALF OF THE STATE DAYTIME ON SUNDAY.

THE STRONG SURFACE LOWS MERGE/DEVELOP INTO ONE LARGE SURFACE SYSTEM
BY DAYBREAK SUNDAY...CENTERED AROUND EASTERN COLORADO/WESTERN
KANSAS/WESTERN NEBRASKA. LITTLE MOVEMENT EASTWARD DURING THE DAY ON
SUNDAY...WITH THE LOW CENTERED OVER CENTRAL/EASTERN NEBRASKA BY
SUNDAY EVENING.

EXPECTING SHOWERS AND POSSIBLE THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE OVER
SOUTHWESTERN NORTH DAKOTA EARLY IN THE EVENING...BUT BY LATE
EVENING/MIDNIGHT THE BEST CHANCES ARE STILL IN THE SOUTHWEST.

LATER TONIGHT/TOWARDS DAYBREAK THE INSTABILITY ALOFT...ISENTROPIC
LIFT NORTH OF THE INTENSE SURFACE LOW...AND PLENTY OF LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE ARRIVE IN NORTH DAKOTA - ALL INGREDIENTS COME TOGETHER FOR
WIDESPREAD OUTBREAK OF RAIN SHOWERS ACROSS ALL OF WESTERN AND
CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA...WHICH CONTINUES THROUGH SUNDAY AND INTO THE
LONG TERM PORTION OF THE FORECAST.

THERE WILL ALSO BE A CHANCE THAT THUNDERSTORMS COULD BE EMBEDDED IN
THE SHOWERS MAINLY ACROSS THE SOUTH HALF OF NORTH DAKOTA TONIGHT AND
SUNDAY.

1 TO 2 INCHES OF LIQUID PRECIPITATION ARE FORECAST FOR A LARGE
PORTION OF WESTERN AND CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA BEGINNING TONIGHT AND
CONTINUING THROUGH DAYBREAK TUESDAY MORNING. AT THIS TIME IT APPEARS
THAT THE SOUTHWEST PORTION OF THE STATE IS POISED TO RECEIVE THE
HIGHEST AMOUNTS...WITH 2 TO 3 INCHES POSSIBLE IN THE FAR SOUTHWEST.

.LONG TERM...(SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 335 PM CDT SAT APR 26 2014

NOT QUITE DONE WITH WINTER WEATHER YET. A CLOSED UPPER LOW WILL
EJECT FROM THE CENTRAL PLAINS INTO THE UPPER MIDWEST AND GREAT LAKES
BY THURSDAY EVENING...AND THIS WILL BE THE DOMINATE HEADLINE IN THE
EXTENDED WITH A RAIN EVENT...THEN SOME SNOW MONDAY NIGHT AND
TUESDAY.

ONGOING WET/COOL PATTERN SUNDAY NIGHT WILL CONTINUE INTO
TUESDAY BEFORE PRECIPITATION WANES FROM NORTHEAST TO SOUTHWEST
DURING THE AFTERNOON. HOWEVER THERE MAY BE ADDITIONAL LIGHT BANDS OF
PRECIPITATION FOR WEDNESDAY/WEDNESDAY NIGHT ACROSS CENTRAL NORTH
DAKOTA AS ANOTHER LOBE OF ENERGY ROTATES AROUND THE UPPER LOW AND
INTO THE NORTHERN HIGH PLAINS. H85 TEMPS ON BOTH THE GFS AND
ECMWF...(-2C TO -4C) ALONG WITH THE GFS SOUNDINGS...INDICATE ANY
PRECIPITATION FALLING MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING WILL BE IN
THE FORM OF SNOW ACROSS WESTERN AND CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA. PRIOR TO
THIS...SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY MORNING....THE THREAT OF A SNOW/RAIN
MIX IS MOST PREVALENT ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL AND NORTHWEST NORTH
DAKOTA IN CONCERT WITH SUBZERO 850MB TEMPS AND SUFFICIENT AMOUNTS OF
PRECIPITATION FORECAST.

MAIN UPDATE TO THE ALLBLEND WAS TO SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER HIGHS
TUESDAY. WITH CLOUDS AND MOSTLY SNOW OCCURRING FOR MOST OF THE
MORNING INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON...ALONG WITH A NORTHERLY FLOW
ADVECTING IN H85 TEMPS BELOW ZERO (-2C TO -4C)...JUST CANNOT FOLLOW
THE ALLBLEND FORECAST OF HIGHS WELL INTO THE 40S AND LOWER 50S. HAVE
CUT THESE BY ROUGHLY 10 DEGREES...THINKING THAT MOST AREAS WILL
REMAIN IN MID TO UPPER 30S FOR MOST OF THE DAY...THEN POSSIBLY
RISING TO AROUND 40 AS THE PRECIPITATION TAPERS OFF FROM NORTHEAST
TO SOUTHWEST. DRIER AIR IN THE TURTLE MOUNTAINS WILL BEGIN NOSING
INTO CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA IN THE AFTERNOON WITH PERHAPS A FEW BREAKS
IN THE CLOUD COVER. HOWEVER CLOUDS AND PRECIPITATION ARE FORECAST TO
CONTINUE IN THE SOUTHWEST THROUGH TUESDAY AFTERNOON.

ANOTHER HIGHLIGHT...WET SNOWFALL ACCUMULATION POTENTIAL MONDAY NIGHT
THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED. LATEST ECMWF HAS
H85 TEMPS OF -4C WITH WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION CONTINUING FROM 06Z
THROUGH 18Z TUESDAY. WITH ACTUAL AIR TEMPS IN THE MID 30S AND WET
BULB TEMPS ABOVE 32F...SNOWFALL RATES WOULD HAVE TO BECOME FAIRLY
HEAVY TO ACCUMULATE SIGNIFICANTLY ON ROADS...A BIT EASIER ON GRASSY
AREAS WITH A COUPLE INCHES POSSIBLE. THE WINTER WEATHER DESK ON DAY
3 WHICH INCLUDES THE MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY TIME FRAME HAS POCKETS
OF 1 TO 2 INCHES AND SOME 2 TO 4 INCH SNOWFALL AMOUNTS OVER THE
NORTHWEST AND NORTH CENTRAL. THIS SEEMS PLAUSIBLE GIVEN THE DEEP
COLD AIR ALOFT AND SHALLOW ABOVE FREEZING LAYER NEAR THE GROUND. OUR
LATEST GRIDS HAVE 1 TO 1.5 INCHES OF SNOWFALL IN THE NORTHWEST AND
NORTH CENTRAL AND WILL USE THIS AS A STARTING POINT. THIS WILL
LIKELY BE ADJUSTED IN THE FUTURE AS THE AMOUNT/AREAL COVERAGE OF
PRECIPITATION COINCIDING WITH SUBZERO 850 TEMPS BECOMES CLEARER.

TREND IS FOR A BREAK IN THE PRECIPITATION TUESDAY NIGHT FOLLOWED BY
ANOTHER ROUND OF LIGHT RAIN/SNOW WEDNESDAY CENTRAL INCLUDING THE
JAMES RIVER VALLEY. BRISK NORTHERLY WINDS OF 20 TO 30 MPH CAN ALSO
BE EXPECTED WITH HIGHS IN THE 40S AS A 850MB COLD POCKET OF -2C
REMAINS OVERHEAD. THE GFS MAINTAINS SOME CHANCES OF PRECIPITATION
CONTINUING INTO THURSDAY FOR CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA WITH ANOTHER BRISK
AND CHILLY DAY.

FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY ON THE UPPER AIR
PATTERN WITH THE ECMWF ADVERTISING A MORE AGGRESSIVE COOLING TREND
WITH ANOTHER SYSTEM SLATED FOR SATURDAY. THE 12Z GFS IS BEGINNING TO
SHOW SOME SIGNATURE OF THIS. APPEARS SPRINGTIME TEMPERATURES WILL
REMAIN ON THE BACK BURNER FOR AT LEAST THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SUNDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 645 PM CDT SAT APR 26 2014

STRONG EAST WINDS WITH GUSTS UP TO 35 KNOTS WILL CONTINUE AT TAF
SITE THROUGH THE TAF VALID PERIOD. RAIN WILL INCREASE IN COVERAGE
FROM SOUTH TO NORTH TONIGHT AND BECOME WIDESPREAD BY DAYBREAK
SUNDAY. EXPECT MVFR CIGS/VSBYS TO DEVELOP AFTER 06Z SUNDAY TO
BECOME WIDESPREAD WITH AREAS OF IFR CIGS/VSBYS IN HEAVIER RAIN AND FOG.
THIS AS LOW PRESSURE MOVES VERY SLOWLY OUT OF THE NORTHERN ROCKIES
AND INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
ISSUED AT 645 PM CDT SAT APR 26 2014

WIDESPREAD BETWEEN ONE AND TWO INCHES OF RAIN IS FORECAST ACROSS
THE AREA WITH UP TO THREE INCHES IN SOUTHWEST NORTH DAKOTA.
THIS COULD HAVE SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS IN BASIN HYDROLOGIC RESPONSE.
LIMITING FACTORS IN RIVER RESPONSE WILL BE THAT THE FROST IS OUT
OF THE GROUND...AND IT HAS BEEN DRY. SOILS WILL BE ABLE TO ABSORB
A LOT OF THE RAIN...BUT NOT ALL OF IT. THAT SAID...STREAM AND
RIVER RISES...POSSIBLY ABOVE MINOR FLOOD STAGE...ARE POSSIBLE.

&&

.BIS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
WIND ADVISORY UNTIL 10 PM CDT /9 PM MDT/ THIS EVENING FOR
NDZ017>020-031>035-040>045.

WIND ADVISORY FROM 10 PM THIS EVENING TO 7 PM CDT SUNDAY FOR
