Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Bismarck ND
1247 PM CDT Wed Oct 25 2017

.UPDATE...
Issued at 1247 PM CDT Wed Oct 25 2017

Main change for the morning update was to lower minimum
temperatures based on the 12 UTC guidance. Otherwise only some
minor tweaks to sky cover and winds this afternoon. Updated text
products will be out shortly.

UPDATE Issued at 948 AM CDT Wed Oct 25 2017

Just minor changes in the near term for this update. Blended the
latest obs with the going forecast and nudged up cloud cover just
a bit based on the observed thick cirrus. Thinking remains the
same regarding critical fire weather this afternoon. Did look
ahead to the strong winds that will rush in behind a cold front
late tonight through Thursday evening. Along the James River
Valley, forecast soundings from most of the model suite show winds
of 45 to 60 knots above the mixed layer starting early Thursday
morning and lasting into the evening.. This area will be co-
located within a regime of strong cold air advection, steep low
level lapse rates, and 3 hour pressure rises in the 6 to 9 mb
range. Further west, wind gusts up to 45 to 55 mph will be
possible.

UPDATE Issued at 624 AM CDT Wed Oct 25 2017

Mountain induced cirrus continues to stream from the canadian
Rockies southeast as it fades somewhat into North Dakota. Added
some cloud cover for this although it appears to be fairly thin.
Otherwise current forecast looks ok.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight)
Issued at 342 AM CDT Wed Oct 25 2017

Main issue for the daytime period today will be increasing west
winds and fire weather headlines. See the fire weather discussion
below for additional information on fire weather issues. Attention
then turns to tonight, with the approaching clipper system, and the
arrival of the associated cold front with increasing northwesterly
winds behind the front.

Currently, an upper level longwave trough extended from Hudson Bay
through the Great Lakes to the Gulf Coast, while a broad western
ridge was well-established over the Rockies. A strong shortwave in
the upper flow (the clipper system that will be affecting our area
tonight and Thursday) was over British Columbia. At the surface, a
cold front that passed through ND was over western Minnesota. Dry
high pressure was over the US Rockies.

The clipper shortwave is forecast to dive southeast out of Alberta
this afternoon, with the leading edge of the clipper reaching
northwestern ND by this evening. An associated surface low is also
expected to deepen as it dives southeast today, moving into the
northwest corner of ND by evening. This system will sharpen an upper
level ridge ahead of the clipper system, enhancing the warm
advection moving in from the southwest, and also increasing the
pressure gradient around the system. Across the western third of the
state, expecting west to southwest winds to increase to 15 to 25 mph
by around noon mdt. The surface temperatures rising into the lower
70s will help the surface layer to mix-out to at least h825mb, where
those winds are forecast to be 30-40 knots. This will help mix the
surface layer and allow dewpoints to drop. Expecting highs mainly
from the 60s north and central to the lower 70s southwest. Afternoon
relative humidity values should be in the 12-18% range this
afternoon in the far southwest, where the red flag warning for this
afternoon and early evening is valid. See the fire weather
discussion below for details.

The clipper surface low and associated cold front are forecast to
move southeast across the state this evening, arriving in the James
Valley area by around midnight. The low and front then continue
eastward, reaching the Red River Valley around 3 am/6 am cdt. We
expect winds to become northwesterly and increase with the passage
of the cold front. 3-hr pressure rises of 3 to 5 mb are forecast
behind the initial cold front, followed by a stronger surge of cold
advection with 3-hr pressure rises of 8-10 mb moving into the state
from the northwest by around 3 AM Thursday morning. By late this
evening/midnight the northwest winds should increase to wind
advisory criteria: at least 30 mph sustained with wind gusts over 40
mph over the western third of the state. Rain and snow showers are
forecast to develop, mainly north of the low. Thus the Turtle
Mountains are likely to see a chance of rain or snow showers mainly
after midnight.

.LONG TERM...(Thursday through Tuesday)
Issued at 342 AM CDT Wed Oct 25 2017

The strong clipper type system will produce very strong winds, rain
and snow, and usher in much colder air Thursday and Thursday night.
A high wind watch has been issued for the Turtle Mountains and James
Valley.

The 3-hr pressure rise bubble of 8-10 mb moves southeast across our
area Thursday morning. The surface low continues to deepen as it
moves across the state, and by Thursday late morning we expect that
the Turtle Mountains and James Valley will be favored for the
strongest winds. A high wind watch has already been issued for the
James Valley, valid for Thursday morning through early evening.
Bufkit soundings indicate 50 to 55 knots of wind at the top of the
mixed layer around h800mb that could mix down to the surface.

In addition to the strong winds, we are also expecting periods of
snow along the track of the of the surface low, especially as it
begins to drop southeast across eastern ND. The most favored area
for accumulating snow will be east of our forecast area, but 1 to 2
inches can not be ruled out over the Turtle mountains, with less
than an inch down the James River Valley. Think with the warm
surface temperatures, with no snow on the ground, the impacts from
blowing snow will be limited to the Turtle Mountains and Devils Lake
Basin areas, and only at times when the snow is actually falling.
Will mention the lower visibility threat from blowing snow within
the high wind watch.

Strong winds, although not HWW criteria winds will continue into
Thursday evening, and slow diminish over the southern JRV late
Thursday night into Friday morning. The rest of central and western
ND will likely be within wind advisory criteria.

Cold and mainly dry with a little warm-up Friday through Sunday,
then another clipper system Late Sunday night into the beginning
of next week with colder conditions again.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Thursday afternoon)
Issued at 1247 PM CDT Wed Oct 25 2017

A very strong cold front will slide from north to south tonight.
Very strong west to northwest winds will commence as the front
slides through. Expect sustained winds around 35kt with gusts up
to 48kt across the terminals tonight through Thursday. In
addition, mvfr cigs will also follow the cold front with potential
for a brief period of ifr cigs. In conjunction with the wind will
be isolated to scattered rain/snow showers. A vcsh has been added
at most terminals, however where confidence was higher at KMOT, a
predominate group was mentioned.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 342 AM CDT Wed Oct 25 2017

Current trend of warm and dry conditions continues for southwest ND
into eastern Montana and western SD. Minimum relative humidity of 13-
18% with west winds of 20 to 25 mph will meet Red Flag Warning
criteria for most of Bowman, Slope, Hettinger and Adams counties,
and and portions of Billings, Golden Valley and Stark counties.
There is potential for some higher gusts in mid to late afternoon
bit stronger late in the afternoon. Although the strongest winds
will occur during the evening with the approach of a strong clipper
system, by then the humidities are well above criteria needed for a
RFW.
