Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Grand Forks ND
403 AM CST Sun Jan 14 2018
.SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight)
Issued at 344 AM CST Sun Jan 14 2018
Clipper system today expected is expected to bring a band of
higher snowfall amounts down the valley this morning. Intense lift
with strong 700mb Omega and 850mb WAA underneath 500mb divergence
as system evolves and deepens bringing a 2 or 3 hour period of
enhanced snowfall. Snowfall rates of a 1/2 to 1 inch an hour this
morning will be followed by increasing NNW winds. Winds will be
mixing from 900mb or so based on bufkit soundings within the
valley at 25 to 30 kts through the afternoon. These winds are
expected to cause some areas of blowing and drifting snow reducing
visibilities down to a half of a mile this afternoon especially
across areas where a deeper snowpack resides. The arctic air
plunging into the region will again create dangerous wind chills.
Will be issuing winter weather advisory for the northern valley
during the day for the combo of snow, blowing snow and wind chills
and then expecting wind chill headlines for the entire FA for the
overnight period as wind chills fall to around 40 below by monday
morning.
.LONG TERM...(Monday through Saturday)
Issued at 344 AM CST Sun Jan 14 2018
Upper level trough begins to exit the area Mon. Coldest air over
the area Mon with a respectable pressure gradient. Surface high
pressure settles over the central and eastern Dakotas Tue morning.
Tue should be the coldest morning. Upper level ridge over western
North America shifts east and flattens as eastern Pacific upper
trough moves onshore. Upper ridge reaches eastern MT by 84 hours.
Wednesday to Saturday...Long wave pattern de-amplifies this
period and becomes more progressive. Split flow regime develops
after Thu with northern stream over central and eastern Canada and
southern stream over the northern states. Upper flow more zonal
after Thu.
The GFS was the faster solution initially then the ECMWF becomes the
faster solution by the end of the period. Will blend the models.
Little change to high temperatures for Wed through Sat compared to
yesterdays forecast package.
