Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Bismarck ND
335 PM CDT Mon Sep 3 2018

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Tuesday)
Issued at 229 PM CDT Mon Sep 3 2018

Thunderstorms are the main focus in the short term period.

Overall, there are very few changes this forecast period from
the previous forecast. Convection still looks to develop between
5-6 pm cdt per latest CAM model output. This is slightly later
than earlier runs of the CAMS and also a little farther south.
However, convection does expand quickly northward into SE
Saskatchewan and SW Manitoba. Storm mode still indicates a blend
with discrete supercells possible early on (especially south)
with a transition to multicellular and QLCS later tonight. SPC day
1 outlook did expand the slight risk area a little farther east
along the Canadian border. Latest iterations of the HRRR are
supporting a possible QLCS segment pushing into the Turtle
mountains late this evening. Stronger Bulk shear along the
Canadian border with shear aligned almost due parallel to the
convective line would support this scenario.

After 06 UTC Convection appears to diminish as it moves into a
more strongly capped environment over central and eastern ND,
combined with the diurnal increase in CIN with the loss of
heating. Continued a mention of severe this early evening west and
mid to late evening central, extending as far east as a line from
around Hettinger to near Bismarck and into the Turtle mountains.
Areas east of this, at this time, would appear to have a limited
chance of severe weather late tonight.

Convection may linger through the morning over the southern James
River Valley. Although we are only expecting shower activity with
a slight chance of thunder.

Cool high pressure builds over the area through the remainder of
the day Tuesday, with temperatures in the low 60s northwest to the
lower 70s in the southern James River Valley.

.LONG TERM...(Tuesday night through Monday)
Issued at 229 PM CDT Mon Sep 3 2018

We have introduced patchy frost into the forecast across the
northwest and north central Late Tuesday night into Wednesday
morning as Cool high pressure slides into northern ND by 12 UTC
Wednesday. We utilized guidance on the cooler side of the envelope
of solutions, but not the coolest. Later shifts can adjust as
needed but we will need to monitor for possible frost/freeze
highlights mainly along and north of the highway 200 corridor.

Quiet weather is in store Wednesday through Thursday. A blend of
model guidance produces a chance of showers and thunderstorms
Thursday night into Friday morning, mainly along the International
Border in an area of warm advection and weak impulsed moving
through a quasi-zonal flow. Another wave moves through the region
Saturday into Sunday but models are not in as good agreement here,
but it does result in some slight chance pops. After the cooldown
on Wednesday, Temperatures quickly rebound to values near normal
through the remainder of the forecast period.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Tuesday afternoon)
Issued at 229 PM CDT Mon Sep 3 2018

VFR conditions to begin the 18Z TAF period. Scattered to broken
low vfr Ceilings this afternoon at KJMS. Otherwise clear skies
elsewhere until convection begins late afternoon/early evening.
Kept a VCTS at KISN as thinking now is convection may develop just
east of here. Added a Tempo period at KDIK and KMOT for convection
in the 03-06 UTC timeframe. With move uncertainty with convection
farther east, just added a VCTS at KBIS and KJMS using latest HRRR
for guidance on timing. After convection moves through winds
become north to northwest and remain northerly through the rest of
the 18Z TAF period. We did add a mention of MVFR ceilings
developing at KJMS late tonight and lingering into Tuesday
morning.
