Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Grand Forks ND
333 AM CDT FRI MAY 13 2016

.SHORT TERM...(Today through Saturday)
Issued at 322 AM CDT Fri May 13 2016

500 mb short wave moving east-southeast as advertised and bringing
precipitation to areas along the South Dakota border. Temps
cooling with the precipitation turning the rain to snow in many
areas. Snow now at Forman DOT webcam. The mixed precip will exit
the far southern forecast area shortly after 12z. Today will be
dominated by gusty north winds as a secondary cold front which has
entered northeastern ND makes it way south early this morning. A
20-30kt 925 mb wind should mix down and 925/850 mb temps fall. So
recovery from morning lows will not be a whole lot. With clouds in
place as well and maybe a sprinkle shower, Expect high
temperatures a good 20 to 30 degrees below normal today.

Huge question tonight is temperatures and how low. short range
and global models insist it will clear out at least partially over
the forecast area. Even with clouds remaining the strength of the
cold air will allow temperatures to drop to below freezing. Just
how low is the question. If clearing then 25-28 more likely but if
cloudy more then 30-32 and this is a big difference to sensitive
plants/crops. will go ahead and issue the freeze warning for all
of the forecast tonight.

Saturday will see another short wave drop south in the afternoon
with the risk of a shower or two. A little warmer but still well
below normal.

.LONG TERM...(Saturday night through Thursday)
Issued at 322 AM CDT Fri May 13 2016

Any light precipitation will exit west central MN Saturday
evening. But another one fast on its heels for sunday afternoon to
bring another risk for a few showers. These systems are weak
moisture wise but just keep area in clouds and cool temperatures.
Though not as cool as today.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Friday night)
Issued at 1137 PM CDT Thu May 12 2016

Status deck should remain in the 3000 to 4000ft range overnight
with a few brief MVFR CIGS in the 12Z to 18Z time frame possible
at all TAF sites. Otherwise strong NW winds will be reinforced
with gusts to 25 to 30kts during much of the daytime Friday.

for monday through friday...
Long term begins in a northerly flow aloft pattern with a short wave
transiting the area on Monday...giving a low chance of pops mainly
in the east.  An upper ridge moves over the valley by Tue night...
keeping the middle part of the week dry before zonal flow shifts
more southwesterly for the end of the week.  The best chance for
precip will be near the end of the week as the zonal flow brings
Pacific moisture into the western Dakotas.  Significant model
differences for Thu night timeframe leading to low confidence for
timing of precip.  Will however see a rebound in temps with temp
trends generally rising throughout the week.
