What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this wind chill 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 wind chill warning went out at Feb 24, 12:00 PM CST, 2 hours 44 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Feb 24, 12:00 PM CST, 2 hours 44 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Bismarck ND
1200 PM CST Sun Feb 24 2019

.UPDATE...
Issued at 1140 AM CST Sun Feb 24 2019

No big changes for the midday update. We will allow the wind chill
advisory to expire in the southwest. Although there are a few
areas in that 25 to 30 below range, they become even more spotty
this afternoon. Will have to deal with wind chills across the
forecast area tonight but we'll save that for another update.

Across central ND, the only change was to cancel the winter
weather advisory for blowing snow west of the Missouri River.
Originally this morning we were thinking that we could drop a
larger portion of the advisory. But as the sun angle has
increased, areas of blowing snow have become more distinguishable
across central ND via the Day snow-fog RGB composite. The biggest
area is from around Harvey and Carrington south through most of
Stutsman county and into western Dickey/Lamoure and eastern
Logan/Mcintosh counties. Here we anticipate widespread advisory
criteria visibilities with near blizzard conditions in open
country. Also, this area mentioned will see the strongest winds
this afternoon. Blowing snow is less widespread as you go north
and west, and winds will begin to diminish here first this
afternoon. But there are enough areas of blowing snow evident on
satellite to justify keeping the blowing snow advisory, instead of
transitioning to wind chill headlines. Again, this will need to be
done with a later update.

UPDATE Issued at 948 AM CST Sun Feb 24 2019

Updated latest sensible weather elements and blended to late
morning values for this update. Visibilities remain low across
eastern portions of central ND. For areas around the Highway 83
corridor, webcams and observations suggest visibilities are above
advisory criteria, but expect there are still some local lower
visibility issues in open country. Will continue with the winter
weather advisory for now. May be able to get rid of some of the
western counties around 18 UTC.

Eventually everything currently in the winter weather advisory
will need to transition to a wind chill advisory (south) or
warning (north) tonight into Monday. The hard part is determining
the best way to transition from one to the other, as we have both
blowing snow and wind chill issues through the afternoon.

UPDATE Issued at 617 AM CST Sun Feb 24 2019

The latest observations were blended in for the forecast update,
paying close attention to the winds. Observed winds are close to
the forecast winds, so no notable changes were needed to the wind
forecast. The AWOS station at Oakes has finally dropped down to
1/4 mile as of 1155z. Expecting these visibilities to continue
across parts of the southern James Valley this morning before
wind speeds weaken this afternoon. Therefore, an upgrade to a
blizzard warning may be warranted in this area if the low
visibilities continue to be observed early this morning. Holding
off for now until the observed 1/4 mile visibility shows more
time continuity and we gather more information on what is being
observed down there. Also updated the sky cover forecast today
using a 50/50 blend of the HRRRTL/NBM latest iterations. Expect
mostly sunny skies today.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight)
Issued at 218 AM CST Sun Feb 24 2019

Areas of blowing snow will continue across central North Dakota
today before winds diminish tonight. Life threatening wind chills
develop across northern North Dakota tonight.

Gusty northwest winds continue early this morning, with some
locations across central North Dakota observing sustained winds
between 35 and 40 mph with gusts as high as 50 mph. This is a bit
higher than the latest model guidance, so the the max of all model
guidance was used for the wind forecast today while setting a
limit of 35 kts for sustained winds, which observations and NAM
BUFR soundings support. A few areas needed to be smoothed a bit to
prevent the wind forecast from being too high. The blowing snow
model now suggests definite blowing snow across much of the James
River Valley from 10z to 18z today. Will need to closely monitor
this area for potential blizzard conditions this morning. At the
very least, near blizzard conditions look likely.

Winds will gradually weaken this evening and tonight across
central North Dakota as the surface low centered over the Great
Lakes region continues pushing eastward and an arctic high
builds in across western and central North Dakota. Although this
will end the blowing snow threat, dangerous wind chills will
develop tonight with the latest blend of model guidance suggesting
wind chills as cold as 50 below zero to the north. Actual air
temperatures look to bottom out between 20 and 30 below zero to
the north and 10 to 20 below zero further south. Although this is
simply the blended model output, it agrees very well with the
latest MOS guidance and upstream observations.

Lastly, a chance of light snow will move into southwest and far
south central North Dakota tonight as a weak upper level impulse
moves through. With rather weak synoptic and mesoscale forcing,
only a trace to less than 1 inch of snow accumulation is expected.

.LONG TERM...(Monday through Saturday)
Issued at 218 AM CST Sun Feb 24 2019

A prolonged period of dangerous wind chills with several more
chances for accumulating snow highlights the long term forecast.

The 00z iterations of the EURO/NAM/GFS all show an arctic high
centered over northwest and north central North Dakota on Monday
into Monday night. Sinking motion underneath the high should lead
to mainly clear skies to the north on Monday. Clouds and some
light snow will likely linger to the south as Sunday night's
impulse continues moving along the southern periphery of the
arctic high. The main story will be the frigid temperatures, with
highs in the single digits below zero, over 30 degrees below
normal. Dangerous wind chills to 50 below will continue through
Monday morning before briefly improving during the afternoon and
dropping yet again Monday night into Tuesday morning.

Widespread snow looks likely across North Dakota on Tuesday into
Tuesday night as an upper level shortwave dives out of southern
Saskatchewan and propagates across the state. Forcing looks rather
weak Tuesday morning and afternoon, supporting mainly light snow.
Q-vector convergence increases Tuesday evening with a large area
of SEPV values less than zero developing, implying decreasing
stability. This may allow for some moderate snow to develop,
however confidence is low given very little to no frontogenetical
forcing. Nevertheless, the latest blend of model guidance suggests
a widespread 1 to 3 inches of snow early Tuesday morning through
Tuesday evening. Only far northern North Dakota appears to miss
out on most of the snow, with less than half an inch of snow
expected. Winds do not appear strong enough for blowing snow
concerns on Tuesday at this time.

Wednesday and Thursday are shaping up to be a dry as another high
settles in. High temperatures will likely stay stuck in the
single digits on Wednesday with morning wind chills values as low
as 35 below zero. Thursday looks a bit warmer with highs in the
teens.

An upper level trough and developing surface low look to impact
the area Thursday night through Friday with more accumulating snow
There is still quite a bit of model disagreement regarding the
placement of the low, so snow amounts for this event are uncertain
at this time. Blowing snow may also be a concern on Friday as
gusty winds develop.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Monday afternoon)
Issued at 1140 AM CST Sun Feb 24 2019

VFR conditions expected at KDIK, KMOT and KISN this afternoon with
a small potential for MVFR visibilities in patchy blowing snow.
Although not enough to need a mention in the TAF. At KBIS we did
include a TEMPO for visibilities down to 3SM in blowing snow with
a thin ceiling due to lofted snow. KJMS will see reduced
visibilities through the afternoon, down to a half mile to a
quarter mile at times in blowing snow through mid afternoon, with
gradually increasing visibilities through the early evening.

Another system will spread clouds into the far southwest and south
central late tonight through Monday morning. At this time only
MVFR ceiling are expected at KDIK, all other sites remain VFR.
