AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Bismarck ND
1222 AM CDT FRI JUN 17 2016

.UPDATE...
Issued at 1222 AM CDT Fri Jun 17 2016

We have overhauled the overnight forecast to 1) generally decrease
the chance of thunderstorms in the James River valley until late
tonight, and 2) focus the chance of thunderstorms from southwest
into central ND from 06 to 11 UTC. Capping held on for most of the
length of the surface wind shift over central ND this evening, and
the earlier slow-moving supercell in southeast Morton County has
diminished. A few cells continue west/southwest of Bismarck and
around Rolla as of 0515 UTC, but radar trends suggest most of them
are not particularly robust. Meanwhile, convection in southeastern
MT appears associated with a more well-defined shortwave trough
and its related ascent. That convection may intensify quickly once
it enters southwest and central ND the next few hours, where there
is an axis of MUCAPE exceeding 2000 J/kg along and east of a line
from Dickinson to Hettinger. Guidance also calls for effective
bulk wind shear to steadily increase from west to east the next
few hours. The result is that the storms coming out of MT may
become severe in southwest ND and maintain their intensity as they
propagate into central ND late tonight. Recent HRRR and ESRL-HRRR
runs support this idea, especially with their updraft helicity
fields, which exceed 50 m2/s2 with their simulated storms moving
from Slope and Adams Counties northeast toward Bismarck by 10 UTC.

UPDATE Issued at 1004 PM CDT Thu Jun 16 2016

Strong thunderstorms continue south central. Heavy rain possible.

UPDATE Issued at 644 PM CDT Thu Jun 16 2016

Latest satellite images show cu field beginning to erode the cap.
Expect thunderstorm development shortly across south central
North Dakota.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Friday)
Issued at 330 PM CDT Thu Jun 16 2016

At the surface, an upper level low is located over northern
Alberta, ejecting a shortwave north into Saskatchewan and
Manitoba. This wave was responsible for the scattered showers and
thunderstorms near the Canadian border earlier this morning that
have since moved north out of the state. Over on the west coast
of the CONUS, a deepening trough will be the focus of this
afternoon's showers and thunderstorms over parts of western and
central North Dakota. A visible short wave on water vapor located
over the southern Black Hills of South Dakota will begin to nudge
into southwestern North Dakota, where a surface low and a plethora
of boundaries are present.

While most models show ample bulk and low level shear coupled with
plenty of CAPE over the forecast area, an elevated mixed layer is
currently providing high temperatures in the H8 and H7 levels,
keeping a stout cap in place. This cap should remain strong
through the afternoon until a cold front approaches with a push of
mid level western air that will aid in cooling the mid-level
temperatures slightly. The global models and the NAM hold off
widespread convection until well after 00-03z but the latest
iterations of the HRRR and other CAMs have been a bit more
aggressive, initiating isolated supercells just west of the
Missouri river by the 23-01z time frame. So, at this point we are
in a holding pattern and enjoying the waiting game. If storms can
realize the impressive environment without suffering from the cap
suppression, storms will have the potential to produce some large
hail, damaging wind gusts, and even a condition threat of a brief
tornado given some elevated low level shear eventually as the low
level jet kicks in around sunset. This is a very conditional
forecast with quite a bit on uncertainty, and one we will have to
keep monitoring through the night.

.LONG TERM...(Friday night through Thursday)
Issued at 330 PM CDT Thu Jun 16 2016

As the pattern keeps the region in a southwest flow regime, nearly
daily chances of thunderstorms will be possible throughout the
weekend, starting with a potential MCS overnight Friday into
Saturday morning.

Saturday is looking potentially like the most interesting severe
setup of the period thus far, with some of the most impressive
parameter space we've seen forecast this season by all the major
models. Still lots off questions with strong capping, timing, and
small scale details. However, we will have to closely monitor this
one as if models remain constant, all severe weather hazards could
be possible during the late afternoon and evening/overnight hours.
More details should be nailed down in the coming days.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Friday night)
Issued at 1222 AM CDT Fri Jun 17 2016

A complex of showers and thunderstorms may move across southwest
and central ND overnight with local IFR/MVFR conditions, heavy
rainfall, and possibly large hail and damaging winds. KDIK could
be impacted between 07 and 09 UTC, KBIS between 09 and 11 UTC, and
KJMS between 11 and 13 UTC. In addition, MVFR ceilings in stratus
will likely impact KJMS late tonight and early Friday. Otherwise,
VFR conditions will generally prevail during the day Friday with a
much lower thunderstorm risk.
