AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND FORKS ND
300 PM CDT SUN OCT 11 2015
.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 300 PM CDT SUN OCT 11 2015
WINDS WILL BE THE MAIN IMPACT THIS PERIOD. 12Z MODEL GUIDANCE HAS
TRENDED SLOWER...WHICH HAS INCREASED CONFIDENCE THAT MOST AREAS
ALONG AND WEST OF THE VALLEY WILL EXPERIENCE WIND WARNING CRITERIA
AT SOME POINT BETWEEN NOW AND MONDAY AFTERNOON. WATER VAPOR
IMAGERY INDICATES A STRONG UPPER WAVE FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR...AND
MOST MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN AGREEMENT WITH DETAILS SUCH AS SFC
PRESSURE GRADIENT...PRESSURE RISE/FALL COUPLET...AND STRENGTH OF
WINDS WITHIN THE MIXED LAYER.
THE STRONGER WINDS WILL COME IN TWO SHOTS...THE FIRST ASSOCIATED
WITH A STRONG SURGE OF 850MB COLD AIR ADVECTION CURRENTLY (20Z)
ACROSS CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA. MINOT/GARRISON HAVE GUSTED TO
51/57KTS...INDICATING EFFICIENT MIXING DOWN OF WINDS ALOFT. AS A
SHORTWAVE SEEN ON WATER VAPOR IMAGERY ROTATES THROUGH THE FA THIS
EVENING...RAP/HRRR GUIDANCE STRENGTHEN THE SFC/925MB LOW WHICH IN
TURN INCREASES 925MB WINDS WITHIN THE STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION.
JUDGING FROM CURRENT OBSERVATIONS TO THE WEST AND ANTICIPATING
INCREASING WINDS ALOFT...RATHER HIGH CONFIDENCE FOR A BRIEF PERIOD
OF WIND GUSTS TO 60MPH DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING
PERIOD (BEST CHANCES DVL BASIN INTO THE NORTHERN VALLEY WHERE THE
SFC LOW WILL TRACK). WE SHOULD DECOUPLE A BIT OVERNIGHT BEHIND THE
STRONGEST COLD AIR ADVECTION...WITH WINDS SUBSIDING A BIT (BUT
STILL GUSTY). THE SECOND SHOT FOR STRONGER WINDS COMES WITH A
SECONDARY COLD FRONT LATER TONIGHT. ALTHOUGH THE COLD AIR
ADVECTION WILL BE WEAKER THAN THE FIRST SHOT OF STRONG
WINDS...12MB/6HR PRESSURE RISE...60KT WINDS NEAR 900MB...AND A
STRONG SFC PRESSURE GRADIENT SIGNAL SUSTAINED 40MPH WITH GUSTS TO
60MPH MONDAY MORNING ALONG AND WEST OF THE VALLEY INTO THE EARLY
AFTERNOON HOURS. WILL COVER THIS SCENARIO WITH A HIGH WIND
WARNING THIS EVENING INTO EARLY MONDAY AFTERNOON...AND BUFFER WITH
A WIND ADVISORY TO THE EAST.
GUIDANCE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH DEVELOPING A DEFORMATION ZONE
BAND OF SHOWERS MONDAY MORNING ACROSS NW MN...AND INCREASED POPS
TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS.
WINDS AND SHOWERS WILL SUBSIDE MONDAY AFTERNOON WITH THE POTENTIAL
FOR FROST MONDAY NIGHT AS HIGH PRESSURE MOVES INTO THE REGION.
.LONG TERM...(TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 300 PM CDT SUN OCT 11 2015
TUESDAY-WEDNESDAY...NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WITH THE MAIN STORM
TRACK REMAINING WELL NORTH OF THE REGION. ANTICIPATE DRY WEATHER
WITH TEMPERATURES NEAR NORMAL VALUES.
THURSDAY-SUNDAY...MODELS ARE IN GENERAL AGREEMENT ON MAINTAINING
A WEST-NORTHWEST FLOW PATTERN ACROSS THE AREA FROM THE MID TO LATE
WEEK PERIOD. TEMP REGIME STAYS NEAR TO SLIGHTLY ABOVE SEASONAL
NORMALS WITH A WEAK SHORTWAVE OR TWO LATE IN THE WEEK...BUT NO
WIDESPREAD NOR SIGNIFICANT PRECIP EXPECTED.
&&
.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z MONDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1254 PM CDT SUN OCT 11 2015
FAIR SKIES AND BREEZY SOUTHWESTERLY LOW LEVEL FLOW WILL CHANGE
RAPIDLY FROM WEST TO EAST FROM LATE AFTERNOON INTO EARLY EVENING.
EXPECT CAVOK CONDITIONS ALONG A COLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY WITH BRISK
WEST-NORTHWEST WINDS INTO THE DEVILS LAKE BASIN AFT 21Z...MOVING
INTO THE RED RIVER VALLEY CORE BY 00Z. WIND SPEEDS COULD GUST INTO
THE 40-50KT RANGE BRIEFLY BEFORE SETTLING BACK. A SECOND SHOT WITH
LONGER DURATION HIGH WINDS AND AREAS OF MVFR CIGS IN RAIN SHOWERS
WILL MOVE SOUTH AND EASTWARD ACROSS THE FA AFT 11Z...SHIFTING INTO
NORTHCENTRAL MN AFT 18Z.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...GUSTY SOUTHWEST WINDS...IN ADDITION TO
UNSEASONABLY WARM TEMPERATURES CONTINUING OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL
HOURS...WILL CREATE NEAR CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS IN THE
SOUTHERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA. AT THIS TIME...MINIMUM
RELATIVE HUMIDITIES ARE FORECAST TO DROP INTO THE 20-25 PERCENT
RANGE...BEFORE RECOVERING DURING THE EVENING HOURS WITH LOSS OF
SOLAR HEATING. AN ADVANCING COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE AREA
THIS EVENING AND INTO TONIGHT...AND COLDER AIR PUSHING ACROSS THE
AREA WILL ALSO HELP HUMIDITIES REBOUND. WINDS BEHIND THE FRONT ARE
FORECAST TO GUST NEAR 60 MILES PER HOUR AT TIMES...BEFORE
DIMINISHING BY MONDAY AFTERNOON.
