Area forecast discussion, Jan 12, 12:17 AM CST, 3 hours 7 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Bismarck ND 1217 AM CST Fri Jan 12 2018 .UPDATE... Issued at 1211 AM CST Fri Jan 12 2018 Temperatures have plummeted across most of western and central North Dakota with clear skies and fresh snow cover, with readings as of 06 UTC of 20 to 25 below for most areas. Widespread lows of 25 to 30 below are expected outside of the southwest where skies will remain clear. Certainly could not rule out some lows in the -30s for a few spots this morning. Across the southwest with cloud cover and occasional light snow, lows will be warmer in the -8 to-15 range. An upgrade to a Wind Chill Warning may be needed across portions of the area tonight. Given the temperature trend tonight, lowered highs for Friday, and decreased lows for Friday night into Saturday morning to be as cold if not colder than expectations for this morning. UPDATE Issued at 941 PM CST Thu Jan 11 2018 Surface high pressure is situated along Lake Sakakawea and east into the northern James River Valley. Temperatures already dropping into the 20 to 25 below range in some areas along and north of the lake. In the far southwest temperatures have begun to rise with increasing clouds. Made some minor adjustments to with coldest temperatures in central and northern ND. Light snow remains just to the south and west of the state over southeast MT into northwest SD. Precipitation is expected to move into the southwest around midnight. Latest iterations of short term models and latest run of global models suppress pops farther south than previous runs. Used a blend of models to trend this way with lighter amounts (under an inch) as well. No changes to current Wind Chill Advisory. Updated text products will be sent out shortly. UPDATE Issued at 633 PM CST Thu Jan 11 2018 Arctic high pressure is situated from southern Saskatchewan south into western and central ND this evening with mostly clear skies across the forecast area. There is some dissipating cloud cover over the southern James River Valley, and an area of increasing clouds over the southwest associated with the next wave bringing some light snow to the southwest late tonight into Friday morning. Latest observations have been keeping up with or exceeding the downward temperature trend this evening. Winds around 5 to 10 mph could hamper overall temperature drop, and clouds in the southwest will have an affect. But in general bumped forecast low temperatures down a few degrees most areas. Overall good radiational cooling setup, and a fresh new snowcover will help. Wind chills 25 to 40 below through the night. Will continue the Wind Chill Advisory. && .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Friday) Issued at 303 PM CST Thu Jan 11 2018 Current surface analysis places low over the Great Lakes while high starts to settle over the northern plains. Upper level analysis places trough stretching from near the Red River Valley southward through the southern plains. Breezy winds continue ahead of the approaching high over the James River Valley resulting in a little blowing snow, but these winds should be diminishing by later this afternoon/early evening. For tonight...a weak wave over British Columbia/Alberta dives down towards the region late tonight, which will bring a chance of light snow to southwestern areas after midnight. Otherwise, surface high pressure settling over the area will result in a very cold night with frigid wind chills. On Friday, some light snow may linger over southwestern and portions of south central North Dakota as the aforementioned wave continues its advance. A very cold day is on tap as high temperatures remain below zero while surface high remains over the area. Overnight lows below 20 below zero will be common Friday night with dangerous wind chill values. .LONG TERM...(Saturday through Thursday) Issued at 303 PM CST Thu Jan 11 2018 The next little wave zips through the area on Saturday/Saturday evening bringing the next low chance for precipitation. Temperatures will be a bit milder, but still well below average. Another clipper slides in Sunday bringing light snow chances with a very cold airmass following. Frigid wind chills remain Sunday night through Monday night. Models are hinting at a warming trend finally arriving over the area towards mid-week. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Friday night) Issued at 1211 AM CST Fri Jan 12 2018 VFR conditions expected through the forecast period at all sites except KDIK. Light snow will spread into southwest ND aft 06z and reach KDIK area around 12z with occasional MVFR cigs in light snow through around 16z, becoming VFR before 18z. && .BIS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
