Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Bismarck ND
917 AM CDT Sat Jun 16 2018

.UPDATE...
Issued at 910 AM CDT Sat Jun 16 2018

Tweaked precipitation chances through this evening based on
latest observation trends and high resolution guidance. Elevated
thunderstorms will continue to increase over the southwest and
south central, where marginally severe hail may be possible over
the next few hours. Any surface based severe thunderstorm threat
will likely be later in the afternoon over our far southeast, near
the southern James River Valley. Updated the sky and wind grids
using a blend of the latest CAMs, and blended the latest
observations to the forecast.

UPDATE Issued at 627 AM CDT Sat Jun 16 2018

For early morning update have increased precipitation chances
over the southern James River Valley as initial round of
thunderstorms continue their approach. Remainder of forecast
continues to be on track.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight)
Issued at 342 AM CDT Sat Jun 16 2018

Current surface analysis places low over eastern Colorado, with
inverted trough stretching off to the northeast. Upper level
analysis places broad low dropping through the Pacific northwest,
while secondary low spins over the desert southwest. Ridge remains
over the Mississippi River Valley into the western Great Lakes,
while strong and active southwest flow remains over our area.

Persistant southwest flow aloft will continue to eject a variety
of disturbances over the area as aforementioned broad upper low
continues to gradually settle south. In the meantime, eastern
Colorado surface low will shift towards the northeast. Chances for
showers and thunderstorms will continue through the day across the
area. There is some concern for severe weather as the latest run
of short-term models have shifted some stronger instability into
the southern James River Valley and far south central North
Dakota where enhanced deep layer shear is noted. With various
waves moving through, the timing on potential severe is a little
tricky as a severe storm or two could develop this morning as an
initial wave lifts through from the south, or this afternoon/early
eve as storms fire off along the boundary to the south and east,
with a storm or two possibly lifting to the north into our area.
With that all said, expect the best chances for widespread severe
to remain to our south and east. Precipitation chances continue
into tonight.

.LONG TERM...(Sunday through Friday)
Issued at 342 AM CDT Sat Jun 16 2018

Shower and thunderstorm chances continue into Sunday, though this
may be restricted to mainly southern areas as surface high
attempts to push in. This will continue into Monday with only low
chances lingering mainly along our southern border. Mainly dry
conditions expected on Tuesday as upper low meanders over the
western CONUS with modest ridging setting up over our area ahead
of it.

Precipiation chances then remain low for the remainder of the work
week with a variety of weak disturbances moving through.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Sunday morning)
Issued at 627 AM CDT Sat Jun 16 2018

Widespread rain showers with scattered thunderstorms are expected
through this evening, with coverage gradually diminishing
tonight. Expect ceilings to gradually dissipate today into
tonight, with many areas dropping to MVFR levels, IFR ceilings
possible late over southwest North Dakota.

&&

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