What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this blizzard warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Bismarck, ND wrote its last area forecast discussion before this blizzard warning went out at Mar 12, 11:41 AM MDT, 2 hours 25 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Mar 12, 11:41 AM MDT, 2 hours 25 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Bismarck ND
1241 PM CDT Tue Mar 12 2019

.UPDATE...
Issued at 1230 PM CDT Tue Mar 12 2019

Nudged highs up once again, mainly across the Missouri River
Valley and west as widespread temperatures in the mid to upper 30s
are already being observed across the west, likely enhanced by
downsloping. The only other update was to hold on to patchy fog
for a bit longer across portions of the south central as webcams
continue to show some lower visibilities in the area.

UPDATE Issued at 940 AM CDT Tue Mar 12 2019

Bumped up afternoon highs a bit using a blend of the previous
forecast and the latest consensus MOS guidance. Fog has also
continued to linger a bit longer than originally anticipated so
extended mention of fog south central through 15z and issued a new
SPS mentioning fog through 16z. Otherwise, blended the latest
observations to the going forecast.

UPDATE Issued at 647 AM CDT Tue Mar 12 2019

Latest fog/stratus loop shows the area of low clouds and fog now
beginning to show signs of dissipating across Burleigh and
southern Morton Counties. This trend should continue through mid
morning followed by sunny conditions. Forecast is on track.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight)
Issued at 439 AM CDT Tue Mar 12 2019

Latest fog/stratus imagery loop and surface observations show an
area of low clouds/fog centered over south central ND, covering
the northern portion of Kidder county, most of Burleigh, southern
Morton and Sioux counties. Followed the RAP/HRRR BUFKIT soundings,
and the 925mb wind/RH fields, which suggests the boundary layer
winds will continue to veer from south-southwest to west-southwest,
advecting in drier air. The end result will be a gradual decay/dissipation
of the stratus/fog through 15z/10AM CDT Tuesday across south central
ND. Sunshine will then take control for the remainder of the day.

Water vapor imagery shows a upper level low circulating over
northeastern Wyoming/western South Dakota. This will lift
northeast across southern ND today. Other than suppressing the
height fields, no other consequence will occur with its passage.
Low level southwest to westerly winds and a plethora of sunshine
today will help produce milder afternoon high temperatures. Expect
highs in the mid to upper 30s, to lower 40s far southwest. Mostly
Clear then becoming partly cloudy tonight with lows 10 to 20.

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Monday)
Issued at 439 AM CDT Tue Mar 12 2019

Highlight is the issuance of a Winter Storm Watch for Blizzard
conditions Wednesday evening through Thursday far southwest, south
central and the James River Valley. Significant weather impacts
are becoming more probable, with the worst conditions favoring the
James River Valley.

Strong low pressure still on track to eject out of Baja California
today, into the Central Plains Wednesday, and midwest Thursday.
Very strong northerly winds will ensue Wednesday evening, being
drawn into the strong low pressure center. In conjunction with
the very strong winds will be heavy snowfall, especially over the
James River Valley where 6 to 12 inches along with wind gusts to
60 mph are forecast. Across the far southwest and south central,
3 to 6 inches of snow along with gusts to 50 mph can be expected.

The 00Z GEFS Plumes still show several clusters of possible snow
accumulations from Bismarck to Dickinson, but are more conclusive
with the higher amounts as mentioned above in the James River Valley.

For far southwest and south central ND, the hazards and impacts
will occur Wednesday evening through late Thursday morning. Across
the James River Valley, the heavy snow/winds begin Wednesday
evening and continue through through early Thursday evening; but
the impacts may be felt far beyond Thursday evening!

The system exits the James River Valley Thursday evening.
Thereafter, a break in the series of weather systems, with dry
conditions and high temperatures in the 30s Friday through Monday.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Wednesday afternoon)
Issued at 1230 PM CDT Tue Mar 12 2019

Morning fog across the south central has generally lifted, but
some patchy fog may continue over the next hour or two. Sunny
skies and light west winds will dominate the first half of the
period. As a large area of low pressure begins to move into the
region tomorrow afternoon, ceilings will lower in the 12z to 15z
time frame when IFR or LIFR conditions will be possible at all
sites with the exception of KJMS. Winds will also shift to the
north overnight and begin to increase across the far south by the
end of the forecast period.
