AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND FORKS ND
252 PM CST WED JAN 8 2014
.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 252 PM CST WED JAN 8 2014
TEMPS CLOUDS AND WINDS WILL BE THE FORECAST CHALLENGE TONIGHT WITH
THE RESULTING COLD WIND CHILLS. AS OF MID AFTERNOON THE SFC HIGH WAS
STARTING TO MOVE AWAY FROM THE FA WITH LIGHT SOUTH RETURN FLOW
SETTING UP WEST OF THE RED RIVER VALLEY. BAND OF CLOUDS ALMOST INTO
OUR SOUTHWEST FA NOW AND THESE SHOULD CONTINUE EXPANDING EASTWARD
TONIGHT. SO EXPECT INCREASING CLOUDS AND WINDS SLOWLY EXPANDING EAST
ACROSS THE FA. HOWEVER UNTIL THESE REACH THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN FA
THERE WILL BE SOME EARLY EVENING TEMP FALL WITH RATHER WEAK WINDS.
THEREFORE WIND CHILLS WILL GET DOWN INTO ADVISORY CRITERIA FOR ONE
MORE NIGHT. WITH THE CLOUDS NEARING THE FAR WESTERN COUNTIES HAVE
ELECTED TO LEAVE THEM OUT OF THE ADVISORY BUT WILL KEEP MOST OTHER
COUNTIES FROM 00Z UNTIL 12Z THU. HAD CONSIDERED SEGMENTING THE
ADVISORY BUT TIMING CLOUDS WINDS AND TEMPS IS TOUGH SO WENT WITH ONE
GROUP AND LATER SHIFTS CAN TRIM COUNTIES AS THEY SEE FIT. LOOKING AT
925MB WINDS REALLY CRANKING UP BY LATE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT WITH
SOME PRETTY STRONG WARM ADVECTION. PREVIOUS SHIFTS HAD INSERTED SOME
LOW CHANCES FOR LIGHT SNOW AFTER MIDNIGHT INTO THU MORNING AND WILL
ALSO ADD SOME BY MID TO LATE EVENING OVER THE KDVL REGION. DID NOT
ADD ANY BLSN AS THERE IS A PRETTY DECENT INVERSION BUT THIS WILL
ALSO HAVE TO BE WATCHED. SHOULD FINALLY BE OUT OF ADVISORY CRITERIA
FOR THIS COLD STRETCH ON THU MORNING. THU HIGHS IN THE TEENS TO LOW
20S LOOK REALLY GOOD.
.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 252 PM CST WED JAN 8 2014
FOR FRI INTO SAT LEFT THE FORECAST DRY ALTHOUGH SEVERAL MODELS
INDICATE SOME VERY LIGHT PCPN POSSIBLE IN THE EAST. LOOKING AT
PORTIONS OF THE WEST OR SW FA GETTING SOUTHWEST OR WEST WINDS ON
FRI AND SAT SO THOSE AREAS MAY GET A LITTLE WARMER.
FOR SAT NIGHT THROUGH WED...TEMPS THROUGH THE PERIOD SHOULD
REMAIN ABOVE TO EVEN WELL ABOVE NORMAL AT TIMES. SUNDAY APPEARS TO
BE THE WARMEST DAY WITH 850MB TEMPS ABOVE 0C AND EVEN UP TO +6C IN
THE SOUTH. THERE WILL BE PERIODIC CHANCES FOR SOME LIGHT SNOW IN
NW FLOW ALOFT...AND PERHAPS A STRONGER CLIPPER SYSTEM MONDAY NIGHT
INTO TUE...WITH STRONGER WINDS BEHIND A COLD FRONT.
&&
.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z THURSDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1231 PM CST WED JAN 8 2014
THERE WILL BE INCREASING SOUTHERLY WINDS TONIGHT WITH GUSTS OVER
20KT LIKELY AFTER 06Z. THERE WILL ALSO BE A BAND OF MVFR CIGS AND
PERHAPS SOME LIGHT SNOW/FREEZING DRIZZLE. FOR NOW WILL NOT MENTION
ANY RESTRICTIONS TO VSBY...BUT SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND WITH STRONG
WAA OVERNIGHT. THERE COULD EVEN BE SOME DRIFTING/BLOWING SNOW IN THE
VALLEY WHICH WE WILL NEED TO MONITOR FOR POTENTIAL VSBY ISSUES.
