What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this winter storm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Bismarck, ND wrote its last area forecast discussion before this winter storm warning went out at Feb 7, 2:23 PM MST, 0 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 7, 2:23 PM MST, 0 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Bismarck ND 323 PM CST Wed Feb 7 2018 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Thursday) Issued at 313 PM CST Wed Feb 7 2018 The main forecast issue in the short term period will be Snow in the southwest and Wind Chills northeast. Currently, radar shows light snow ending over southwest ND. Some light snow/flurries are pushing into the south central. Will add a mention of some light snow over the south central this afternoon. Partly cloudy with very cold temperatures north central and northeast. Adjusted afternoon temperatures lower here this afternoon. For tonight. Very cold north central again tonight. Used a blend of Mos based guidance to lean toward the lower side of guidance across the north and into the James River Valley. Will need another Wind Chill Advisory for portions of the north central into the northern James River Valley late tonight through mid-morning Thursday. Shortwave energy tracking through the persistent upper level trough will track over the southwest portion of the state while a lingering baroclinic zone over southeast Montana into South Dakota tightens and lifts into the far southwest North Dakota late tonight through Friday. For quite a while models had trended south and west with the heaviest snow, but for the last couple of runs they have remained fairly similar, placing a band of moderate to heavy snow over the far southwest corner of the state. And a band of lighter snow surrounding this extending from Beach to Dickinson and south to Hettinger and Fort Yates. Latest GEFS plumes depicted around a half inch of QPF from Miles City MT to Buffalo SD, tapering to around a quarter inch of QPF from Glendive to Dickinson. The couple runs of the operational Global models highlight Bowman county with 6 inches of snow, but tapering pretty quickly as you go north and east. But felt that Slope county was close enough (with models depicting enough of the county within the 6 inch contour to include within the warning. There is not a lot of wind with this type of setup but with that said, there was enough wind to produce some blowing and drifting snow, mainly across Bowman and Slope counties in the far southwest, which was also a reason to add Slope county to the warning. The snow begins in the far southwest late tonight, but does not really get started until early Thursday morning. Most of the snow will fall during the daytime hours on Thursday, with snow tapering from northwest to southeast Thursday evening. .LONG TERM...(Thursday night through Wednesday) Issued at 313 PM CST Wed Feb 7 2018 Dangerously cold wind chills continue into the long term portion of the forecast. Dangerous wind chills to around 35 below zero can be expected for just about all of western and central North Dakota Thursday night into Friday morning, and again Friday night into Saturday morning. The strong/persistent northwest upper flow continues through the middle of next week. Earlier model runs were showing at least a brief warm-up with a zonal/erly flow Sunday through Tuesday. However the 12z suite of global models do not seem as optimistic. Either way, temperatures are likely to remain below, if not well below normal through the extended period. Beyond the Thursday system no significant precipitation with any one system, but any waves moving through the mean upper trough will provide a chance of some light precipitation. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Thursday evening) Issued at 313 PM CST Wed Feb 7 2018 Periods of light snow southwest this afternoon, including KDIK. Then a break this evening through the early overnight hours before a stronger system brings accumulating snow to southwest North Dakota. MVFR ceilings moving into KDIK around 12 UTC Thursday, with IFR ceilings/vsbys possible 15-18 UTC. Elsewhere vfr conditions expected through the forecast period with variable winds 10 knots or less. && .BIS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
