Area forecast discussion, Jul 11, 12:30 AM CDT, 3 hours 15 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Bismarck ND 1230 AM CDT MON JUL 11 2016 .UPDATE... Issued at 1224 AM CDT Mon Jul 11 2016 Severe threat continues over portions of the area, with the new focus starting to lean towards the south with the low level jet increasing. Along with the storms already over the area, will have to keep an eye on new development over South Dakota where convection was limited earlier and atmosphere has yet to be worked over. These storms may then move into our area with severe potential. UPDATE Issued at 944 PM CDT Sun Jul 10 2016 Cancelled severe thunderstorm watch 368 across southwestern ND and cancelled the watch for the northwestern counties. Currently have a line of severe thunderstorms pushing through central ND that has produced 60 to 70 mph winds. Watch 369 is scheduled to end at 11 pm CDT and will likely have to be extended in time for eastern counties. Otherwise, made some adjustments to pops to account for current trends. UPDATE Issued at 700 PM CDT Sun Jul 10 2016 All of western and central ND is under a severe thunderstorm watch through late evening. Severe thunderstorms are ongoing across the west with very large hail and damaging winds. Significant damage in Amidon earlier with 2.75 inch size hail reported. Current thinking is that the storms will organize into an MCS and progress across the state, which we are beginning to see with a distinct line of storms just moving through KDIK, which had a 51 knot gust. Large hail and strong winds would remain the biggest threats. HRRR brings this line through Bismarck by 9 pm, but timing may change as line accelerates. Also cancelled heat advisory across far south central. UPDATE Issued at 430 PM CDT Sun Jul 10 2016 Update to cancel the heat advisory for the southern James river valley. Clouds kept temperatures from rising into the 90s. && .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Monday) Issued at 256 PM CDT Sun Jul 10 2016 Robust upper level low across the northwest Conus will move east and approach the northern plains this period. A line of thunderstorms has formed along a cold frontal boundary in eastern Montana and southwest North Dakota. To the east warm and humid air will push the heat index above 100 south central early this evening. Overnight it appears the threat for thunderstorms will be highest across the north and west with lower pops south central where it will take longer to erode the elevated mixed layer and cap. The threat for severe weather will however extend south to the south dakota border as the cape and shear are very favorable. Precipitable water will support some heavy rain potential across portions of northwest north dakota this evening and possibly east late tonight. .LONG TERM...(Monday night through Sunday) Issued at 256 PM CDT Sun Jul 10 2016 Main concerns in the long term will be an anomalous h500 low forecast to move across northern north dakota into southern canada by wednesday. Global models look consistent in bringing strong wrap around winds monday evening and overnight into tuesday morning. Bufkit soundings show strong wind potential with wind advisory criteria likely met with a low end warning criteria not out if the question southwest monday night into tuesday. will not issue wind headlines yet but will highlight in the hazardous weather outlook. the remainder of teh week will be cooler behind the upper upper low however with a Northwest flow regime there will be at least chances for thunderstorms through sunday. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Monday night) Issued at 1224 AM CDT Mon Jul 11 2016 Scattered to widespread thunderstorms will continue overnight, with some storms lingering into Monday. Also, some IFR cigs have developed over western portions of North Dakota, which may linger through the overnight hours before improving on Monday. Gusty westerly winds develop Monday, especially over southwest North Dakota. && .BIS Watches/Warnings/Advisories... NONE. && UPDATE...JJS SHORT TERM...WAA LONG TERM...WAA AVIATION...JJS
