ABELING

Area Forecast Discussion...CORRECTED
National Weather Service Bismarck ND
152 PM CDT Tue Aug 8 2017

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Wednesday)
Issued at 108 PM CDT Tue Aug 8 2017

Shower and thunderstorm potential this afternoon through Wednesday
highlights the short term forecast.

Surface based convection across western into North central North
Dakota is expected to increase over the next 2-3 hours, between
20-22 UTC, ahead of the shortwave across eastern Montana evident
on water vapor imagery. MLCAPE around 800-1000 j/kg and marginal
deep layer shear of 25-30kts suggest that the potential for severe
convection is low.

Scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue through
the night across most of western and central North Dakota
reinforced by the stronger wave that will propagate out of
Saskatchewan. Scattered showers and storms are favored to continue
through much of the day northwest and central per the 12 UTC
global consensus and 12-15 UTC CAM suites. Certainly cannot rule
out a strong to severe thunderstorm south central where MLCAPE
values of 1000-1500 j/kg are expected with marginal deep layer
shear of 25-30 kts ahead of the strong upper level wave. Large
hail to quarter size, damaging winds to 60 mph, and dangerous
lightning are the primary threats.

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday night through Tuesday)
Issued at 108 PM CDT Tue Aug 8 2017

Slightly below normal temperatures through the weekend highlight
the extended forecast.

The 12 UTC global consensus is in agreement on mean cyclonic
northwest flow aloft to continue into the weekend across western
and central North Dakota. This favors slightly below normal
temperatures in the 70s to the lower 80s. Thereafter, there are
some hints at possibly at least shortwave ridging early next week
that could mean a brief return to a bit warmer temperatures.
However, this is somewhat uncertain. There is a chance of
thunderstorms Friday through Saturday with a series of shortwaves
embedded in the flow. While the severe threat is non-zero,
widespread severe weather is also not favored at this time.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Wednesday afternoon)
Issued at 108 PM CDT Tue Aug 8 2017

Scattered thunderstorms will develop across western North Dakota
this afternoon, with a few isolated showers and thunderstorms
central. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue west
and central through tonight into Wednesday. MVFR/IFR conditions in
precipitation are possible.

.BIS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
NONE.
