Area forecast discussion, Apr 18, 6:43 AM CDT, 4 hours 52 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Grand Forks ND 643 AM CDT Wed Apr 18 2018 .UPDATE... Issued at 643 AM CDT Wed Apr 18 2018 No updates needed. && .SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight) Issued at 314 AM CDT Wed Apr 18 2018 Steady east-northeast winds and the cloud cover is helping to hold temperatures up overnight. With the system passing to the south of the FA today, expect more cloud cover across the southern half of the FA. Previous shift removed the light snow chances that were expected for this morning, with any echoes on radar well to the south or west. Therefore the main challenge today will be high temperatures. Yesterday thought that some locations would hit 50, and quite a few did, even saw a 54F at Fosston. With quite a bit of sun again in the north, and starting the day even warmer, these same readings should be possible. Stuck with highs a little cooler across the far south. During the melting period we just started, there has not been much fog formation, which usually accompanies the spring melt. Looking for fairly light winds with decreasing clouds tonight, but still did not mention any fog. Day shift can take another look at that potential, with confidence low at this point. .LONG TERM...(Thursday through Tuesday) Issued at 314 AM CDT Wed Apr 18 2018 Impacts for the extended appear to be confined to temperatures as a quiet weather pattern takes shape across the northern plains through the weekend and into next week. Split flow across North America will create storm tracks north and south of the area. A combination of northern stream energy will bring some rain chances Sunday and Tuesday. A relatively dry airmass exists with GEFS ensembles indicating a mean of two to three tenths and a max just under an inch, only one of twenty members, for the Tuesday and Wednesday time frame. The EC ensemble values match the GEFS well. Temperatures start the period with low 50s and rise into the upper 50s and low 60s on Sunday. Behind the front Tuesday temperatures cool back to the low 50s. Lows will start off in the upper 20s and low 30s rising into the upper 30s and low 40s Sunday morning. These values are at to below mid to late April normals. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Thursday morning) Issued at 643 AM CDT Wed Apr 18 2018 Slightly lower clouds at KFAR, but still VFR. Another good flying day. && .FGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... ND...None. MN...None. && UPDATE...Godon SHORT TERM...Godon LONG TERM...JK AVIATION...Godon

This period of warmer temperatures will result in ponding of water in low lying areas and increased runoff into the local river system. Please refer to the latest hydrologic outlook, hydrologic statements, and flood statements for the latest information on river flooding. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
