What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this river flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Grand Forks, ND wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Jul 9, 6:40 AM CDT, 1 hour 46 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 9, 6:40 AM CDT, 1 hour 46 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Grand Forks ND 640 AM CDT SAT JUL 9 2016 .UPDATE... Issued at 640 AM CDT Sat Jul 9 2016 Showers/thunder continue to advance eastward into central ND, although will encounter a less favorable environment farther east in a drier, more stable air mass. As a result expect a weakening trend, and will forego any mention this morning, but some pops may need to be added into the Devils Lake Basin if these do hold together. Fog is confined generally to the northern RRV and from Baudette south to Park Rapids, and should burn off over the next few hours. && .SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight) Issued at 346 AM CDT Sat Jul 9 2016 Some patchy fog has developed early this morning with light winds and relatively moist air following recent rains over parts of the RRV and NW MN. The fog should burn off quickly this morning after sunrise. Otherwise, while many hours throughout the weekend will be dry, the next several days will feature several potential rounds of strong/severe storms across the region, making for an active late weekend/early week period. Today the area will be under ridging aloft, likely keeping most of the day dry. Some showers across western ND associated with a weak shortwave could possibly reach the Devils Lake Basin later in the morning, but will not mention pops at this time due to low confidence. Otherwise, the main forecast messages concerning severe potential highlighted over the past few days still appear valid. Storms will likely get going to the west and north of the area late today within the strongest axis of instability and shift into our area this evening and overnight. Very steep lapse rates and plenty of elevated instability would suggest hail to be the greatest severe threat with storms developing within the warm advection regime. Much will depend on the storm mode though, with wind potential dependent on storm organization to the west. SPC has maintained the slight risk generally RRV westward, where the elevated instability will be greatest. Generally kept chance pops due to uncertainty in spatial coverage/timing. .LONG TERM...(Sunday through Friday) Issued at 346 AM CDT Sat Jul 9 2016 Storms may be ongoing Sunday morning, but much of the day may remain dry. A very warm and humid air mass will be situated across the region, with precipitable water values over 1.50 inches. Temps will rise into the 80s, with some low 90s possible over SE ND. Heat index values in these warmer locations could approach 100 for a few hours Sunday afternoon. A potentially more significant severe weather event is expected late Sunday into Monday. A surface low will likely be located over the western Dakotas with a warm front extending north and eastward by late Sunday. Thunderstorms should develop near the warm front on the edge of the warmer mid-level temps Sunday afternoon and track eastward through Sunday Night. Very unstable air, 40-60 kts of deep layer shear, and an 850 mb jet increasing to around 50 kts overnight Sunday should provide a very favorable environment for severe storms as the storms track eastward. SPC has an enhanced risk area generally over the NW half of the area. A significant wind threat could develop if an organized severe MCS does develop, given the strength of instability/shear and LLJ, along with hail potential. The main upper wave finally will eject into the northern plains on Monday with an associated cold front moving eastward. It will be another very warm, humid day ahead of the front. While storms potentially ongoing during the morning may impact the environment, strong forcing combined with plenty of instability and strong low- level /deep-layer shear is expected to set off another round of strong/severe storms Monday afternoon/evening. SPC has highlighted the RRV and points eastward in the slight risk area for Monday. The threat for all modes of severe weather would exist, especially if supercells are the initial mode, given the strength of instability and wind fields, with a transition to more linear storms as forcing increases and storms mature. With the high atmospheric water content over the next few days, heavy rainfall be a concern with any areas that are impacted especially by multiple rounds of storms. Tuesday-Friday...The probability for high impact severe weather will be low. Strong upper low will be across southern Manitoba on Tuesday and propagate east through the period leaving this region in northwest flow aloft. Strong synoptic winds possible on Tuesday...along with showers. The remainder of the period looks mostly dry (although could be isolated weak afternoon showers/thunder) with temperatures slightly below normal values. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Sunday morning) Issued at 640 AM CDT Sat Jul 9 2016 After any remaining patchy fog burns off at KGFK/KTVF/KBJI VFR conditions are expected today, with southerly winds through the period. Scattered storms are possible mainly tonight, but confidence in placement and timing is too low to warrant a mention at this point. Model guidance suggests a period of lower ceilings late tonight with increasing low-level moisture,so trended downward to MVFR late tonight, but confidence is low && .FGF Watches/Warnings/Advisories... ND...None. MN...None. && UPDATE...JAM SHORT TERM...JAM LONG TERM...TG/JAM AVIATION...JAM
