Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Bismarck ND
1159 PM CST Thu Nov 15 2018

.UPDATE...
Issued at 1153 PM CST Thu Nov 15 2018

Will not make significant changes to the forecast at this time but
will examine the potential for banded snow to increase
accumulations across portions of the current winter weather
advisory area for teh 4 am issuance. Current forecast has 3 to 6
inches with some higher amounts, and the latest model data shows
some frontogenetic forcing, EPV less than 0 and omega in the
dendritic growth zone. All these could add to snowfall amounts if
they line up.

UPDATE Issued at 1004 PM CST Thu Nov 15 2018

No significant updates to the going forecast. Updated hourly
temperatures through 12 UTC, and this raised mins a bit. But the
cloud free southwest had already dropped to near fcst lows. This
won't last long though as clouds will be on the increase shortly.

Light snow is exiting the far southeast portion of the forecast
area early this evening. Otherwise Breezy but diminishing winds
this evening with mostly cloudy skies. The far southwest may
escape the cloud cover during the early evening, but mid and high
clouds will approach from the west with the next system. Only some
minor tweaks this evening. We did hold off on precip entering the
far west until after 06 UTC. No changes to the current hazards.
Updated products out shortly.

Looking ahead to Friday, see no reason to adjust current hazards
at this time. Both the NAM and GFS just coming in with latest 00
UTC iterations and both seem very consistent from their previous
run regarding the track. GFS still a bit farther southwest than
the NAM. Both are slightly higher in overall qpf. Looking at cross
sections of the 18z run, both indicated a band of strong omega
throughout the dendritic growth zone tracking along and near Lake
Sakakawea and the Missouri River, and into the southern James
River Valley. Within this area there are periods of negative EPV
signifying the potential for heavier bands of snow, within the
advisory area. Exactly where these set up will be hard to
determine until the event gets underway.

One other point to mention. After coordination with ABR...will
pass on to the mid shift, the potential for stronger winds than we
are currently carrying. There is a very strong isallobaric fall
rise couplet that tracks across the southwest and south central,
in concert with strong cold advection and decent lapse rates. The
strongest winds would likely be over the southwest, where lesser
snow amounts are forecast, but we can't rule out some strong winds
over the west central into the south central with falling snow and
continuing after the snow ends.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Friday Night)
Issued at 303 PM CST Thu Nov 15 2018

Accumulating snowfall late tonight through Friday highlights the
short term forecast.

The 12-18 UTC global and high resolution suites have trended
slightly higher with QPF and a bit further north with the axis of
the greatest snowfall for late tonight through Friday. As with
any banded snow event, some uncertainty remains and a slight shift
in the snowfall axis is certainly possible as low pressure
propagates southeast along the baroclinic zone of the leading
edge of the cold high pressure system. A zone of strong
frontogenesis is expected to couple with deep layer forcing with
moderate mid level lapse rates to generate a band of moderate, to
at times heavy, snow from northwest and north central through
south central North Dakota and the James River Valley. Widespread
snowfall amounts of 3-6 inches are forecast for these areas.
Isolated higher amounts are possible, but their placement is
highly uncertain and dependent on any shifts in the band. Issued a
Winter Weather Advisory for the northwest and north central
through the south central and most of the James River Valley
beginning first across the northwest late tonight, and spreading
southeast Friday morning. Blowing snow is possible Friday
afternoon as gradient winds and cold air advection increase.
However, the strongest isallobaric forcing does not couple well
with the gradient winds, limiting how significant blowing snow may
become. A northwest to southeast oriented snow band with a
similarly tracking low suggests the snowfall residence time will
be long, despite the fast moving nature of the system. Again,
while confidence for higher snowfall amounts has increased to
warrant a Winter Weather Advisory, the banded nature of the event
supports some continued placement uncertainty. If a shift in the
guidance occurs, it would most likely be a northward shift as
depicted by the 18 UTC HRRR and RAP. Isolated amounts in excess of
6 inches are also not out of the question.

.LONG TERM...(Saturday through Thursday)
Issued at 303 PM CST Thu Nov 15 2018

A cold Saturday with a slow moderating trend in temperatures next
week highlights the extended forecast.

A cold Saturday is favored by the 12 UTC global suite with cold
high pressure in place. High temperatures will range from 15 to 20
for most areas. Thereafter, cyclonic flow aloft is expected to
transition to mean ridging by mid next week, favoring a slow
moderation in temperatures to near to slightly above normal.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Friday night)
Issued at 1153 PM CST Thu Nov 15 2018

Scattered MVFR cloudiness across western and central ND to begin the
06Z TAF period. Periods of VFR ceilings 06-09 UTC.

Late tonight a system will approach from the west bringing
widespread MVFR-IFR ceilings and visibilities in snow to all TAF
sites from west to east. Snow will begin in KISN and KDIK around 12
UTC and spread east through the morning hours. Periods of LIFR cigs
and vsbys expected during the heaviest snow. Northerly winds pick up
in the afternoon, keeping MVFR visibilities in blowing snow at TAF
sites even after the snow ends. Winds will gradually diminish from
north to south aft 00 UTC.
