AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BISMARCK ND
123 AM CDT SUN OCT 5 2014

.UPDATE...

ISSUED AT 123 AM CDT SUN OCT 5 2014

EMBEDDED WAVES COUPLED WITH A STATIONARY BOUNDARY WILL KEEP
SHOWERS IN THE FORECAST TONIGHT INTO TOMORROW ALONG WITH AN
INCREASE IN CLOUD COVER.

OF MORE CONCERN WILL BE WINDS TOMORROW. BUFKIT IS INDICATING
WIDESPREAD SUSTAINED WINDS OF 25-33KTS WITH GUSTS APPROACHING
40-42KTS AT THE TOP OF THE MIXED LAYER. PRESSURE GRADIENT AND
PRESSURE RISES BOTH ARE RATHER HUMDRUM. A UNIDIRECTIONAL WIND
PROFILE WILL BE THE CULPRIT WITH STRONG WINDS ALOFT INCREASING
AND MIXING DOWN AS THE DAY PROGRESSES. GUSTY CONDITIONS COULD THEN
PERSIST INTO SUNDAY NIGHT. WILL TAKE ANOTHER LOOK FOR POSSIBLE
HEADLINES WITH THE NEXT FORECAST ISSUANCE IN 2-3 HOURS.

UPDATE ISSUED AT 938 PM CDT SAT OCT 4 2014

BASED ON BOWMAN RADAR OBS/TRENDS...EXPANDED ISOLATED SHOWERS TO
INCLUDE EXTREME SOUTHWESTERN NORTH DAKOTA THROUGH THE REST OF
TONIGHT. ALSO DECREASED TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE EASTERN CWA
BASED ON CURRENT OBS/TRENDS. THE REMAINING FORECAST IS ON TRACK.
THE UPDATED PRODUCTS HAVE BEEN SENT.

UPDATE ISSUED AT 643 PM CDT SAT OCT 4 2014

DEEP NORTHWESTERLY FLOW WILL PERSIST OVER NORTH DAKOTA TONIGHT. A
WEAK WARM FRONT ACROSS WESTERN NORTH DAKOTA (60 DEGREES IN
HETTINGER...50 DEGREES IN BISMARCK AT THE TIME OF THIS WRITING)
WILL MOVE LITTLE OVERNIGHT. AS A RESULT...BUMPED UP OVERNIGHT LOWS
ACROSS SOUTHWESTERN NORTH DAKOTA A FEW DEGREES GIVEN THE AIRMASS
IN PLACE AND EXPECTED INCREASING BOUNDARY LAYER FLOW.
OTHERWISE...THE REMAINING WEATHER ELEMENTS ARE IN GOOD SHAPE. THE
UPDATED PRODUCTS HAVE BEEN SENT.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 314 PM CDT SAT OCT 4 2014

CURRENT SURFACE ANALYSIS PLACES LOW OVER NORTHERN ONTARIO WITH
HIGH OVER THE GREAT BASIN INTO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. SLOW
EASTERLY MOVING WARM FRONT STRETCHES DOWN THROUGH SASKATCHEWAN INTO
WESTERN NORTH DAKOTA. TEMPS HAVE PUSHED INTO THE 50S BEHIND THE
FRONT...WITH MAINLY 40S AHEAD. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS PLACES FAST
NORTH/NORTHWESTERLY FLOW OVER OUR AREA BETWEEN WEST COAST RIDGE
AND DOUBLE BARREL LOW OVER ONTARIO INTO THE GREAT LAKES. A VARIETY
OF IMPULSES CONTINUE TO MOVE THROUGH THE FLOW IN LINE WITH SURFACE
BOUNDARY RESULTING IN SOME LIGHT PRECIPITATION OVER THE
REGION...THOUGH WITH DRIER AIRMASS BELOW PROBABLY NOT MUCH
REACHING THE GROUND.

FOR THE REST OF TODAY INTO TONIGHT...LOWER LEVELS WILL CONTINUE TO
SLOWLY MOISTEN AS VARIETY OF DISTURBANCES CONTINUE TO SLIDE THROUGH
THE AREA. THIS WILL BRING SOME LIGHT RAIN TO PORTIONS OF THE
AREA...PARTICULARLY FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTH CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA.
A FEW FLAKES OF SNOW WILL BE POSSIBLE TOWARDS FAR NORTH CENTRAL
NORTH DAKOTA WHERE COOLER AIR ALOFT REMAINS AND SURFACE TEMPS DIP
NEAR FREEZING.

ON SUNDAY...VARIETY OF IMPULSES CONTINUE TO ROTATE THROUGH THE
AREA BRINGING CONTINUED RAIN CHANCES. STRONGER WINDS ALOFT DEVELOP
BY MID DAY WITH AMPLE MIXING AS SURFACE GRADIENT TIGHTENS. THIS
WILL BRING GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS TO THE AREA...STRONGEST OVER
SOUTHWEST NORTH DAKOTA. WILL HAVE TO KEEP AN EYE ON THIS AS IF
THIS APPEARS TO INCREASE SOME A HEADLINE MAY HAVE TO BE
CONSIDERED.

.LONG TERM...(SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 314 PM CDT SAT OCT 4 2014

THE MAIN FOCUS FOR THE LONG TERM IS WINDS ON SUNDAY/MONDAY.

A PERSISTENT GREAT LAKES UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL CONTINUE TO BRING SEVERAL
SHORTWAVES ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS. THE FIRST ONE IS EXPECTED TO
MOVE THROUGH ON SUNDAY. THE MAIN IMPACTS FROM THIS WAVE WILL BE
GUSTY WINDS. SOUNDINGS INDICATE DEEP MIXING IN THE AFTERNOON WITH
STEEP LAPSE RATES. WINDS AROUND 35 MPH WITH GUSTS TO 45 MPH SEEM
LIKELY. A WIND ADVISORY MAY BE NEEDED FOR THIS EVENT.
PRECIPITATION WISE...IT LOOKS LIKE ANY SHORTWAVE INDUCED
PRECIPITATION SHOULD BE RATHER LIGHT AND SCATTERED IN NATURE.
OTHERWISE...SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH THE WEEK WITH TEMPERATURES MAINLY IN THE 50S.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z SUNDAY NIGHT)

ISSUED AT 123 AM CDT SUN OCT 5 2014

GENERALLY VFR CIGS ARE EXPECTED TO PREVAIL OVER WESTERN AND
CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD. CIGS COULD BRIEFLY
LOWER TO MVFR IN LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS TONIGHT. HOWEVER...DUE TO
TIMING UNCERTAINTIES AND EXPECTED MINIMAL IMPACTS...WILL LEAVE
TEMPO MVFR CIG GROUPS OUT OF THE TAFS FOR NOW.

.BIS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
NONE.
