Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Grand Forks ND
406 AM CST Sat Dec 24 2016
.SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight)
Issued at 306 AM CST Sat Dec 24 2016
One more decent travel day ahead. Could see some spotty flurries
otherwise today will be generally quiet. Colder air will continue
to sag southward mainly across the north with temperatures over
the remainder of the fa in the low to mid 20s.
Could see some light snow develop tonight as column begins to
saturate however any accumulations will be light.
.LONG TERM...(Sunday through Friday)
Issued at 306 AM CST Sat Dec 24 2016
Upcoming storm Sunday continues to pose many challenges.
Precipitation type and related accumulations the main concern.
Main onset of pcpn still looks to spread from south to north
during the afternoon. Latest models runs have shifted the surface
low track a bit westward and also warmer adding to uncertainty of
precipitation type. Confidence high enough that will issue a
winter storm warning over the far NE forecast area where column
remains cold enough to support snow. Farther south and west snow
amounts and ice accumulations more uncertain. If guidance
continues to maintain warmer column and a westward shift of low
track, rain/freezing rain not snow accumulations will be the main
impact. With this degree of uncertainty will keep the watch going
and hopefully this mornings model guidance will provide a clearer
picture.
Winds and blizzard conditions also a challenge. Initially as snow
intensifies over the warned area late Sunday afternoon and
evening, easterly winds 20 to 35 mph will combine to produce low
vsby. Later Sunday night as the low lifts through the forecast
area winds could diminish then pick up again late as the low
departs. So there could actually be two periods of blizzard
conditions.
Improving conditions from sw to ne Monday as low pulls out. Wind
and cloud cover will prevent temperatures from dropping too far.
Any lingering snow should end across the east Monday night.
Tuesday to Friday will continue the fast and progressive 500mb flow
across North America with storms tracking south of the northern
plains. Weather impacts during this time appear to be minimal with
a bit of a roller coaster for temps as teens for highs Tuesday and
Thursday with a warmer day inbetween with upper 20s expected on
Wednesday. Any snow chances during this period appear to be weak and
limited in scope and coverage.

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Saturday night)
Issued at 1138 PM CST Fri Dec 23 2016
Biggest challenge will be dealing with the MVFR clouds tonight
into Saturday. Models seem to be doing alright in matching where
the clouds are now, but they want to linger them longer than
satellite trends show. Confidence low in these cloud trends, but
will put in best idea for now and later shifts can adjust as need
be. Winds will stay up and gradually turn more northeast on
Saturday. Did not mention any pcpn as what models do show looks
pretty light for the next 24 hours.
