Area forecast discussion, May 17, 7:00 PM CDT, 2 hours 38 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND FORKS ND
700 PM CDT SUN MAY 17 2015
.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 700 PM CDT SUN MAY 17 2015
GETTING REPORTS OF SLEET AND SNOW WITHIN THE DEFORMATION ZONE BAND
OF PRECIP ACROSS THE DEVILS LAKE BASIN...AND DID INTRODUCE SLEET
TO THE FORECAST. THIS PRECIP BAND WILL LIKELY START TO SLOWLY
DISSIPATE AS THE MID-LEVEL LOW PROPAGATES INTO NORTHERN MINNESOTA
(AND ANOTHER BAND OF PRECIP DEVELOPS EAST OF THE VALLEY). RAP/HRRR
SUGGESTING THIS BAND OF PRECIP WILL REMAIN RELATIVELY STATIONARY
THROUGH MIDNIGHT WHILE DISSIPATING. NOT SURE HOW MUCH SNOW WILL
ACCUMULATE ON TOP OF THE WARM GROUND...BUT REDUCED VSBY WILL BE AN
ISSUE. NEAR BLIZZARD CONDITIONS ALSO POSSIBLE IF THE P-TYPE CAN
CHANGE TO ALL SNOWFALL (ALTHOUGH THESE CONDITIONS WOULD BE FOR
LESS THAN 3 HOURS...SO A BLIZZARD WARNING IS NOT ANTICIPATED).
WILL NOT MESS WITH POPS AT THIS POINT AS MOST AREAS SHOULD
EXPERIENCE AT LEAST SOME PRECIP OVERNIGHT. HOWEVER...DID ADJUST
QPF TO LOWER WITHIN THE MIDDLE AREA OF THE CURRENT DEF BAND ACROSS
THE DVL BASIN AND WHERE THE NEXT DEF BAND IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP.
UPDATE ISSUED AT 610 PM CDT SUN MAY 17 2015
WILL NEED TO ISSUE A HIGH WIND WARNING ACROSS THE DEVILS LAKE
BASIN FOR THIS EVENING. OBSERVATIONS OF SUSTAINED 40 MPH...AND
GUSTS TO 60 MPH ARE BECOMING MORE WIDESPREAD. THERE HAS ALSO BEEN
A REPORT OF DOWNED TREES IN BOTTINEAU...AND LARGER TREE BRANCHES
DOWN IN DEVILS LAKE. THE LATEST RAP SUGGESTS THE SFC PRESSURE
GRADIENT WILL SLIGHTLY INCREASE THROUGH 03Z...WITH 925MB AND 850MB
WIND SPEEDS SLIGHTLY INCREASING. THUS...STRONG WINDS WITH THE
POTENTIAL TO CAUSE DAMAGE WILL CONTINUE FOR AT LEAST A FEW MORE
HOURS.
WILL KEEP THE WINTER WX ADVISORY IN EFFECT WITH REPORTS THAT THE
PRECIP IS BEGINNING TO CHANGEOVER TO SLEET/SNOW...AND ANTICIPATE
WINTRY WEATHER THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. OF COURSE...IF THE
PRECIP BECOMES ALL SNOW THEN BLIZZARD CONDITIONS MAY BE
POSSIBLE...BUT LIKELY FOR LESS THAN 3 HOURS. WILL MONITOR THE
SITUATION CLOSELY.
ELSEWHERE...THE THREAT FOR TORNADOES ACROSS NW MN APPEARS TO HAVE
DIMINISHED AS THE WARM SECTOR IS PROPAGATING EASTWARD.
&&
.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 337 PM CDT SUN MAY 17 2015
FIRST OFF...SFC LOW NEAR SISSETON/WAHPETON AREA AT MID AFTN AND
SFC PRESSURE FALLS ARE NOT CENTERED NEAR FOSSTON MN. SO SFC LOW
WILL TACK NORTHEAST TOWARD THAT AREA THIS EVENING. EAST OF SFC LOW
AREA IN DRY SLOT WHERE HEATING OCCURRED FAVORABLE FOR SOME
THUNDERSTORM TO FORM. FOCUS IS FROM ALEXANDRIA NORTH TO EAST OF
FERGUS FALLS....TO BEMIDJI...PARK RAPIDS AND WADENA. SFC AND UPPER
AIR LOW PLACEMENT FAVORS LOW TOPPED SUPERCELLS WITH POSSIBLE
FUNNEL FORMATION. PER SPC NOT EXPECTING WIDESPREAD STORMS THIS
STRONG....BUT COULD BE THRU 00Z. ANOTHER QUESTION IS NW EDGE OF
DEF ZONE PRECIP. RAIN FALLING PER PUBLIC LANGDON-DEVILS LAKE AREA
STILL. MODELS TAKE DRIER AIR WEST AND WANT TO SHUT OFF DEF ZONE
HEAVY PRECIP THIS EVENING LEAVING LIGHT PRECIP OVERNIGHT INTO
MONDAY MORNING IN THE COLD AIR WHERE IT WILL BE COLD ENOUGH FOR
SNOW. SO JUST HOW MUCH SNOW WILL FALL IS QUESTIONABLE. WILL LEAVE
WSW OUT FOR 1-3 INCHES IN DVL BASIN-LANGDON AREAS OVERNIGHT AS TOO
UNCERTAIN TO TINKER WITH IT.
WINDS WILL BE A BIG FACTOR AND CONTINUE TO GUST IN THE 40-55 MPH
RANGE IN DVL BASIN AND SPREAD INTO THE RRV THIS EVE. STRONG WINDS
OVERNIGHT INTO MONDAY MORNING SO HAVE WIND ADVISORIES OUT.
MOVED PRECIP OUT A BIT FASTER THAN EARLIER FCSTS MONDAY. OTHERWISE
COLD AND WINDY. CLEARING OVERSPREADS AREA MON NIGHT AND LIKELY
FREEZE CONDITIONS IN MANY AREAS.
.LONG TERM...(TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 337 PM CDT SUN MAY 17 2015
WELCOME DRY WEATHER TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE MOVES
IN AND TEMPS BEGIN TO RECOVER.
FOR WED NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY...SMALL DISCUSSION TODAY DUE TO SEVERE
WEATHER POTENTIAL. BASICALLY KEPT THE THU/FRI PERIOD DRY AND LEFT
PCPN CHANCES AS THEY WERE FOR SAT/SUN. TEMPS LOOK TO RETURN TO NEAR
NORMAL VALUES.
