Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Grand Forks ND
1203 PM CST Fri Dec 28 2018

.UPDATE...
Issued at 1202 PM CST Fri Dec 28 2018

Wind is finally showing downward trends as gusts drop off.
However, temp trends have gone the opposite direction, with some
locations cooling to the-6 to -9 range over the last few hours
due to continued CAA and clearing. Wind should continue to become
light this afternoon, and as winds drop so will wind chills where
they are still in the -25 to -30 range. Overall, most locations
have wind chills outside of Advisory criteria, so with positive
trends expected to continue the Wind Chill Advisory was allowed to
expire on time at Noon.

UPDATE Issued at 1025 AM CST Fri Dec 28 2018

Wind gusts still occasionally reported 30-35 mph within Red River
Valley, but trend has been for winds to decrease almost
everywhere else. Vis in blowing snow reported occasionally below
1 mile with localized reports in Fargo of 1/4 mile. Mixed layer
winds in process of decreasing as high pressures building
southeast and this trend should continue through midday, so
expectation is still for any lingering blowing snow/wind to end
over the next few hours north to south.

UPDATE Issued at 601 AM CST Fri Dec 28 2018

It is still gusting into the 40-45 mph range across the southern
Red River Valley, with visibilities 0.5 to 1.5 miles being
reported. Open country likely still has significant blowing snow
impacts. With that said, wind speeds are diminishing and
anticipate rapidly improving conditions after 6am. With that, have
let the blizzard warning expire. Wind chill values across the
southern Red River Valley are near -25F, and should get a bit
colder through the early morning. Thus, have expanded the wind
chill advisory to cover the southern valley (through noon).

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight)
Issued at 346 AM CST Fri Dec 28 2018

Winter storm is winding to an end. Falling snow has ended across
the region as forcing has moved eastward. Will cancel the winter
storm warning/winter weather advisory east of the valley. Winds
are slowly diminishing across all but the far southern valley, and
visibilities from ASOS/AWOS sensors are responding accordingly.
Wind chills will be in advisory criteria across much of eastern
North Dakota and adjacent portions of Minnesota through much of
the morning, and will need to replace winter weather
advisory/blizzard warnings with a wind chill advisory across this
area. The blizzard warning across the far southern valley should
be able to expire at 6am, and will assess the need for a wind
chill advisory this far south at that time.

High pressure moves overhead today. Cold air advection and low sun
angle will limit temperature rise, so anticipate max temps today
near or slightly above 0F. With fresh snow cover and light winds
at sunset, anticipate temperatures to quickly drop this evening.
How far will temps fall before becoming steady after midnight is
the challenge. Lowered min temps 5-10F from what most guidance
indicates, but probably still not low enough. As winds increase
after midnight, anticipate a morning within wind chill advisory
criteria (Saturday morning).

.LONG TERM...(Saturday through Thursday)
Issued at 346 AM CST Fri Dec 28 2018

Upper level ridging across the western CONUS over this weekend and
into next week will allow a series of upper level shortwaves to
propagate through the northern Plains within a northwesterly flow
regime. This pattern will be conducive for both periods of
unseasonably warm weather followed by frigid cold snaps along with
chances for precip.

Saturday through Sunday...

A deepening surface low is expected to develop in the lee of the
Canadian Rockies on Sat/Sun as an upper level shortwave propagates
around the upper level ridge axis. As this occurs,
west/southwesterly downslope flow off the Rockies will allow for
warm air advection into parts of North Dakota, allowing temperatures
to climb over the weekend into the teens/twenties for Saturday and
into the low thirties for Sunday.

Snow will be possible along and ahead of a northwest-to-southeast
oriented warm front Sunday morning through early Monday morning.
While most locations will likely see snow as the dominant
precipitation type, mid level warm advection may allow for mid level
temps to climb just above freezing, allowing for a mixed
precipitation type, including freezing rain, for some locations.
Overall QPF signals are low at this time based on ensemble guidance,
so most locations will see only light snow accumulations. Locally
higher snow/precip amounts will be possible with any precip bands
that develop within the warm frontal zone.

Monday through Tuesday...

An arctic airmass following closely behind the surface low will move
into the region by Monday. Snow will be possible early Monday
morning as the cold front pushes through the region, but the more
impactful weather will be strong gradient winds as the arctic high
moves in behind the low. Northerly winds at 20 to 25 mph with gusts
up to 35 mph will be possible and may drop wind chill values into
advisory criteria for portions of northern/northeast ND. Although
confidence is low at this time, patches of blowing snow may be
possible for locations that see light snow accumulation on Sunday
and/or don't climb above freezing Sunday afternoon.

Some of the coldest temperatures of the season thus far are
currently forecast for Tuesday morning with lows in the teens and
twenties below zero. Although winds won't be as high as Monday
morning, they will be enough to drop wind chill values into the -30
to -40 range.

Wednesday through Thursday...

Another upper level shortwave is expected to move through the
northern Plains region during the mid to late week period. With this
wave, a temperature rebound is likely along with light snow chances
for parts of the region. Although extended guidance is in reasonably
good agreement in developing this system, differences in timing and
placement of surface features gives low confidence for snow chances
during this period.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Saturday afternoon)
Issued at 1133 AM CST Fri Dec 28 2018

Gusty winds 25-28kt are still creating blowing snow with IFR and
LIFR conditions along the Red River Valley from KGFK to KFAR.
Trend should be for VFR to return to these locations in the early
TAF period as winds decrease north to south. There is also a
stratus deck 1100 to 1400 FT AGL that is slowly moving southeast
and VFR should return to this terminal as well. Otherwise, VFR
conditions should prevail across eastern ND and northwest MN by
mid afternoon through the rest of the TAF period. Wind become
light and variable by late afternoon, eventually prevailing 7-11kt
from the south by the end of the TAF period (this shift will
occur west to east across the region).
