Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Bismarck ND
437 PM CDT SUN JUL 3 2016

.UPDATE...
Issued at 432 PM CDT Sun Jul 3 2016

Thunderstorms have been forming into a line along the frontal
boundary in west central North Dakota. This update will focus on
adding likely thunderstorm pops along the line for the remainder
of the afternoon and early evening from the western end of Lake
Sakakawea south through the west river region west of the Missouri
River.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Monday)

Issued at 247 PM CDT Sun Jul 3 2016

Main forecast highlight in the short term period will continue to
be possible severe convection this afternoon and evening.

Currently...surface boundary not entering far western ND indicated
by the wind fields and sfc Td readings. Axis of instability over
western ND shifting eastward with time along to ahead of the
frontal boundary, with mixed layer CAPE around 500 and MUCAPE 2-3K
J/KG right now. Effective shear around 35kts. Storms
initialization underway with one cell developing past hour just
west of McKenzie county, and CU fields expanding and getting
agitated over my southwest. Expect further development over the
next few hours. Best PVA over far south central CANADA, however
effects of the wave should still help trigger convection over my
west and central today into this evening. With the wave currently
aloft, we think thunderstorms will be more diurnal in nature this
afternoon through mid evening, then waning quite rapidly with the
onset of darkness though a few lingering robust updrafts very
possible over my east after 03z.

More convection may impact southwestern ND late tonight, though
non-severe.

For the 4th of July, strong dry air advection west to east will
result in a mostly sunny day for most if not all locations. There
remains a slight chance of convection over my southeast, though
models continue to push precipitation chances east of my area more
into either eastern SD or the Red River Valley of ND. Westerly
mixing winds coupled with moderate waa will result in temperatures
from the low 80s to low 90s. Warmer along the thermal ridge into
south central ND where we could see 95F or higher. Stayed more
conservative with my peak highs south central in the low 90s for
now.

.LONG TERM...(Monday night through Sunday)

Issued at 247 PM CDT Sun Jul 3 2016

West/southwesterly flow aloft will be in place for the majority
of the long term bringing daily chances for thunderstorms though
with slightly below seasonal temperatures.

Upper low over the southwestern Canada remains quasi-stationary
through Tuesday night, then ejects east towards and into the
Northern Plains Wed-Thurs. Decent chances for rain ahead of this
feature as embedded impulses eject east, though hard to time.
Better chances towards Thursday when the low directly impacts our
area. At this time storm severity remains very questionable with
models keeping the more favorable instability to our south. This
may change late next weekend when stronger southwest flow aloft is
bring depicted by medium range models.

Temperatures are forecast to trend towards below average after
Monday with increasing precipitation chances and as the upper
level jet stream dips south with the arrival of the upper level
low. Warmer next weekend.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Monday afternoon)

Issued at 247 PM CDT Sun Jul 3 2016

Low VFR and pockets of MVFR stratus from KMOT to around KJMS will
continue to lift and erode this afternoon. Meanwhile, a weak front
moving across western ND will cause isolated to scattered storms
to develop and move eastward with local MVFR or IFR conditions. We
still believe KDIK, KBIS, and KMOT could be impacted by storms in
the late afternoon and evening. Any showers and storms will diminish
by late evening. VFR conditions will prevail area-wide overnight and
Monday.

&&

.BIS Watches/Warnings/Advisories...
NONE.
