Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Grand Forks ND
356 AM CST Wed Jan 10 2018

.SHORT TERM...(Today through Thursday)
Issued at 356 AM CST Wed Jan 10 2018

Winds and snow amounts continue to be the main headache for the
period.

Winter weather impacts of some sort continue to be expected across
the region. There is decent agreement of the surface trough axis
continuing to push into the CWA this morning, with the cold front
following behind it. Think the Arctic front will continue to push
south and eastward through the day, with falling temps in many
areas. While there will be some patchy fog out ahead of the front,
think that most of the precip will be along and behind the
boundary. The models have some precip starting to enter our
western counties by early afternoon. The global models continue to
show a trend of a fairly broad area of precip across much of our
CWA, including the northern counties. A few of the recent high-res
runs have been going a bit back south with the heavier precip
band, but not enough continuity to jump on it at this point. There
could be a very brief period of freezing drizzle as precip starts,
but think this band will be very narrow with minimal impact as
precip quickly changes over to snow. Snow amounts of 2 to 5 inches
across much of the area will be possible. A few of the models show
some weak mid level frontogenesis, but not very well positioned
with the synoptic scale lift. Thus, while there is the potential
for some banding, not overly impressed to include heavier amounts
in the grids.

Models have shown a slight decrease in wind speeds for this
afternoon and tonight. 925mb winds are 30 to 35 kts, which is
strong but could be higher. Cold air advection will provide a
strong wind push as the front comes down, but at this point think
that sustained winds will be mainly in the 20 to 25 kt range with
gusts to around 35. Baggley Blowing snow model has isolated to
scattered areas of blizzard visibility in portions of eastern ND
and the Red River valley counties. And that is dependent on the
snow band not trending back to the south. Given uncertainties and
the fact impacts will not be until late this afternoon into
tonight, have elected to keep headlines lower than the B word for
now. Highlighted our central counties with a winter storm warning,
as we should hit our 4 inches and 25 mph wind criteria and will
include near blizzard wording. Northwestern as well as the eastern
tier will see less snow or less wind, so will go with a winter
weather advisory for that area.

The snow will begin to taper off Thursday morning, with winds
decreasing. With the return of Arctic air wind chills will be down
in the 25 to 35 below zero range for a good chunk of the day on
Thursday with only minimal recovery.

.LONG TERM...(Thursday night through Tuesday)
Issued at 356 AM CST Wed Jan 10 2018

For Thursday night through Tuesday, Arctic air continues to build
into the Northern Plains. Upper troughing digs in through Saturday
morning and persists with nighttime radiational cooling and a strong
Arctic surface high building in to provide ideal conditions for
frigid overnight temperatures several nights in a row. Overnight low
temperatures Thursday night through Saturday night will be in the
teens to 20s below zero. Winds will be light, but still yield
dangerous wind chill values in the -20 to -40 degree range. Minor
relief may be felt Sunday as slightly warmer 850 temperatures allow
for high temperatures increasing to near or even perhaps a bit above
the zero degree mark, but a plunge back to frigid weather and
dangerous wind chill values will be felt again Sunday night through
Monday night.

As the Northern Plains sits in northwest flow aloft through the
weekend, two weaker clipper systems race through, producing
additional chances for light snow.  The first round of snow chances
arrive for Friday and continue to trend further southward run-to-
run. If this trend continues, light snow would likely only affect
areas along and south of I-94, if those areas even see snowfall. The
second round of potential light snowfall is for Sunday, but
confidence is much lower for this round.
