AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BISMARCK ND
259 PM CDT FRI AUG 7 2015

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 207 PM CDT FRI AUG 7 2015

THE MAIN FORECAST ISSUES IN THE SHORT TERM PERIOD ARE
THUNDERSTORMS CHANCES THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING AND AGAIN ON
SATURDAY.

CURRENTLY...FRONTAL BOUNDARY EXTENDS FROM AROUND CARRINGTON TO
LINTON. AHEAD OF THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY THE ATMOSPHERE HAS BECOME
QUITE UNSTABLE WITH MLCAPES AROUND 2000 J/KG FROM THE FAR SOUTH
CENTRAL INTO THE SOUTHERN JAMES RIVER VALLEY. BULK SHEAR AROUND
40 KNOTS OR GREATER REMAINS IN THIS SAME GENERAL AREA...ALONG THE
SOUTH DAKOTA BORDER.

LATEST ITERATIONS OF THE RAP/HRRR CONTINUE TO INDICATE CONVECTION
THIS AFTERNOON...MAINLY FROM AROUND ASHLEY EAST TO EDGELEY AND
ELLENDALE. WILL NEED TO MONITOR FOR A FEW STRONG TO POSSIBLY
SEVERE STORMS IF CONVECTION SHOULD DEVELOP. POTENTIAL WILL EXIST
FOR SOME VERY HEAVY RAIN AS WELL...BUT THINK A PROGRESSIVE FORWARD
MOVEMENT SHOULD LIMIT FLASH FLOODING THREAT. AREAL COVERAGE IS
EXPECTED TO BE LIMITED WITH BEST CHANCES OF CONVECTION FROM MID
TO LATE AFTERNOON...BEFORE MOVING OUT OF THE FORECAST AREA.

WILL CONTINUE WITH SLIGHT CHANCE POPS OVER THE FAR SOUTH CENTRAL
INTO THE SOUTHERN JAMES RIVER VALLEY THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY
EVENING.

SOME LIMITED INSTABILITY REMAINS ALOFT TONIGHT...BUT MID LEVELS OF
THE ATMOSPHERE DRY OUT...SO WILL KEEP THE DRY FORECAST AFTER EARLY
EVENING.

MODELS ARE IN GENERAL AGREEMENT IN BRINGING ANOTHER SHORTWAVE
TROUGH INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS ON SATURDAY...HOWEVER THE TREND
HAS BEEN TO SLOW THINGS DOWN. WE HAVE NOW LIMITED PRECIPITATION
CHANCES IN THE MORNING TO THE FAR SOUTHWEST...SPREADING INTO THE
SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH CENTRAL ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE INTERSTATE
DURING THE AFTERNOON. COOLER TEMPERATURES IN THE WAKE OF THE
DEPARTING CANADIAN SYSTEM WILL PRECLUDE THUNDER IN THE MORNING AND
POSSIBLY THROUGH THE DAY SATURDAY...BUT DID KEEP A MENTION OF
ISOLATED AFTERNOON THUNDER.

.LONG TERM...(SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 207 PM CDT FRI AUG 7 2015

THE LONG TERM APPEARS WARM WITH OF AND ON CHANCES FOR
THUNDERSTORMS.

SUNDAY...THE 12 UTC MODELS ARE IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT THAT
SOUTHERN NORTH DAKOTA WILL SEE SOME THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE
DAY. THE GFS IS AND SREF ARE A BIT FURTHER SOUTH THAN THE CANADIAN
AND ECMWF. UTILIZED A BLEND OF THE MODELS...WHICH GENERALLY PUT
PRECIPITATION ALONG AND SOUTH OF I94.

FOR THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE IS EXPECTED TO
DEVELOP ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS. THIS WILL BRING NORTH DAKOTA
WARMER TEMPERATURES. PRECIPITATION WISE THERE IS A LOT OF
UNCERTAINTY WITHIN THE MODELS NEXT WEEK. THE GFS SHOWERS A POTENT
LOW BREAKING THROUGH THE RIDGE AND THE ECMWF MAINTAINS A RIDGE.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SATURDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 207 PM CDT FRI AUG 7 2015

VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD. SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE OVER SOUTHEAST NORTH DAKOTA THIS AFTERNOON
INTO EARLY EVENING...WILL MENTION A VCTS AT KJMS 21-01 UTC.

.BIS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
