Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Grand Forks ND
344 AM CDT Fri Sep 28 2018

.SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight)
Issued at 330 AM CDT Fri Sep 28 2018

High pressure over central Montana at 08z and this high will move
southeast and be over western Minnesota by 06z Saturday. Fcst area
in moist NW flow aloft with several bands of clouds moving thru
currently as this will continue to the pattern thru the morning
before the main 500 mb trough axis moves east. Sfc high pressure
ridge axis moves in late this aftn/eve over the RRV and then
southeast of the area by 12z Saturday. Will have continued pops
for isold/scat rw- mainly in NW MN thru this morning...mixed with
a few snowflakes. Noticing flurries at Winnipeg in the past hour.

Cloud bands means variable temps this early morning, though enough
clearing in spots to allow temps to drop to near 32F even in SE ND
and NW MN. In persistant cloud areas temps near 40F.

Today a cool day with highs in the low-mid 40s. With clearing this
aftn/eve and high pressure ridge moving in expect a fast drop this
evening then after midnight some concerns due to cloud cover as
driest of the airmass shifts into S Minnesota and there is an
increase in moisture in the 850-500 mb layer ahead of next short
wave. This increase in moisture and resultant clouds should impact
western fcst area more so than east. But considering not much to
fall this evening do think a very good chance all areas drop to
below 32F and will issue a freeze warning for all areas for this
upcoming night. Now not all areas will see a hard freeze (below
28F) with the mostly likely candidates being NW MN.

.LONG TERM...(Saturday through Thursday)
Issued at 330 AM CDT Fri Sep 28 2018

Saturday will see an area of light rain spread into E ND late
morning and into NW MN in the aftn. This is mostly 850 mb warm
advection induced ahead of the next 500 mb short wave trough
dropping southeast from central Canada. Did split up the pops into
hourlies 12z-18z Saturday to show the advance of precip chances as
it will arrive once temps warm enough for just -ra.

Persistent H5 synoptic troughing remains in place Saturday and
Sunday as below average temperatures prevail both days. High
temperatures will only reach the upper 40s to lower 50s Saturday,
Sunday, and Monday. Lows will be cloud cover dependent, but will
fall into the lower to middle 30s in areas north of Highway 2, with
middle to upper 30s to the south.

Temperatures begin to moderate heading into Tuesday, but are still
expected to remain slightly below average. The pattern becomes
zonal, with westerly flow aloft Tuesday through Friday. Fast moving
H5/H7 shortwaves will propagate along this flow, giving us rain
chances each day.

Looking into late Friday and into the Weekend, there is a large
degree of uncertainty; however, the current guidance suggests a
strengthening and tilting of the synoptic pattern that favors
lowered H5 heights over eastern Canada and into the upper Midwest.
This would indicate a reinforcement of cold air pushing into the
upper Midwest and northern Plains. Continued shortwave intrusion
along the western periphery of the low will keep at least slight
chance PoPs in the forecast through the extended period.
