Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Grand Forks ND
1146 PM CDT Sun Oct 8 2017

.UPDATE...
Issued at 1142 PM CDT Sun Oct 8 2017

No further changes other than tweeking sky cover as high clouds
moving northeast into SE ND/nrn MN. BUt trend has then drying up
some so that coverage isnt too thick except in the far south. Do
have concerns late tonight into Monday for some stratocu in the
north seeing what is upstream moving ESE thru SW Manitoba and far
NW ND/southern Saskatchewan. Temps for tonight appear good with
cold advection driving temps into the upper 20s far NW fcst area
to nr 40 still in the far southeast.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Monday)
Issued at 308 PM CDT Sun Oct 8 2017

In general... a broad H5 trof will anchor over the Northern
Plains for most of the early week period with generally dry air
aloft and a cool/dry surface high pressure dome sliding into the
area at the surface.

Gusty west-northwest winds will taper off this evening but
maintain a light northwest flow during the overnight. With fair
skies and lighter winds expected overnight radiational cooling
will help to promote areas of frost over most locales. Lightest
winds and overall colder advection will intrude from SK/MB into
northcentral ND and should produce a hard freeze over portions of
the Devils Lake Basin.

On Monday... a combination of cold air aloft and a cool surface
high pressure dome sliding into the area will keep daytime
temperatures in check. Even with mainly sunny skies... daytime
highs should struggle to rise into the mid 40s north and crack 50
degrees in the southern RRV.

.LONG TERM...(Monday night through Sunday)
Issued at 247 PM CDT Sun Oct 8 2017

Monday night and Tuesday... Winds should go light late Monday
evening as surface high pressure parks over the area. This will
help maximize radiational cooling across the area and help provide
our first widespread hard freeze for the Northern Plains region.
Tuesday will see the surface high edge to the southeast and allow
for a slightly warmer southerly return flow to develop.

Tuesday night and Wednesday... A building H5 shortwave ridge aloft
and increasing southerly flow at the surface will steadily warm
temperatures back up towards seasonal normals.

Wednesday night through Sunday...Quiet weather to continue for
the second half of the work week with southwest flow aloft.
Thursday should bring the warmest day of the week head of a cold
front associated with low pressure passing north of the region.
Models continue to be in good agreement with the main impacts with
this system remaining well north of our area. Surface high
pressure will then build in for Friday before models diverge on
precipitation chances for the weekend. High temperatures will be a
bit below seasonal norms (upper 40s and 50s) but depending on
timing of any precipitation (and where), there could be a few
snowflakes during the overnight hours.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Monday night)
Issued at 1142 PM CDT Sun Oct 8 2017

Expecting VFR thru the pd. High clouds SE ND into nrn MN overnight
clearing out some Monday. Concerns a stratocu deck will move in
from the NW into maybe DVL/GFK/TVF/BJI during Monday in the cold
advection. For now introduced scattered coverage of around 4-5k
ft. Winds northwest 10 to 20 kts Monday.
