Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Grand Forks ND
736 PM CDT Mon Aug 27 2018

.UPDATE...
Issued at 736 PM CDT Mon Aug 27 2018

Updated sky and chances for showers/thunderstorms across the
region with this update. An upper level wave across northern ND
will lift east-northeast into western Ontario by tomorrow
morning. Lift with this system looks to be most favorable across
the north (where current showers exist)...but this area will
drift northeast of the area by late tonight/early tomorrow
morning. So...expect the showers to dissipate for the most part
by sunrise. There may be a few showers lingering in the Lake of
the Woods area through 9 AM or so, however. To the south...a few
thunderstorms (non- severe) may linger with us through the early
evening hours. But with only around 600 J/kg of CAPE, the
activity shouldn't be getting too strong.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Tuesday)
Issued at 332 PM CDT Mon Aug 27 2018

Showers and thunderstorms to our south are working their way
northeastward. Could be a few strong storms mainly for the southern
portions of the CWA with this complex as the afternoon progresses.
Looking at satellite imagery, upper low is moving out of
southeastern Montana and into far southwestern ND. Rain/thunderstorm
chances are expected to continue as this system moves through the
region today and early Tuesday.

Looking at temperatures, cloud cover has remained persistent and has
held our temperatures in the 60s across all but the southeastern-
most counties. Will see widespread lows in the 40s tonight as the
upper low pulls cooler air into the region. CAA continues into
Tuesday morning with persistent cloud cover remaining in place
through around midday. Highs will only reach the lower to middle 60s
in most areas. Another fast-moving shortwave will bring another
round of showers and potential thunderstorms to the area Tuesday
evening, with areas north of Highway 2 seeing the best precipitation
chances.

.LONG TERM...(Tuesday night through Monday)
Issued at 332 PM CDT Mon Aug 27 2018

Upper level trof over the area will keep the weather on the cool
side for the next few days...with high temperatures mainly in the
60s and low 70s. Weak waves propagating through the flow will
trigger some light shower activity.

By Thursday...the upper ridge amplifies as low pressure develops
over the high plains. Return flow will help prop up temperatures
ahead of the next system which is forecast for Friday into Friday
night. Another batch of showers and storms will accompany the
system...with cooler temperatures again in its wake to end the
period.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Tuesday evening)
Issued at 736 PM CDT Mon Aug 27 2018

Low ceilings are expected to expand across the area tonight on the
back side of a low centered over MSP. The ceilings are likely to
remain MVFR, but some models are hinting at cigs as low as 700-900
ft. Have included these lower cigs at DVL and BJI...but the rest
of the TAF sites have a possibility of seeing IFR cigs as well.
Will update, if needed, when new data set becomes available.
Otherwise, light mist is possible as well. The main shower
activity should remain across the northern terminals, but a TSRA
is possible at FAR early in the evening. Will monitor and update
if needed. Cigs improve slowly during the day tomorrow. Hopefully
VFR conditions will return by late afternoon at all terminals.
