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 Grand Forks, ND wrote its last area forecast discussion before this blizzard warning went out at Dec 29, 6:59 AM CST, 1 hour 49 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Dec 29, 6:59 AM CST, 1 hour 49 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Grand Forks ND
659 AM CST Sun Dec 29 2019
.UPDATE...
Issued at 654 AM CST Sun Dec 29 2019
Models have the system well forecast. Surface low pressure was
located northeast of Sioux City IA and was near the forecast
location and strength. Concern for today will be how strong winds
will become and if strong enough to create blizzard conditions.
Model guidance was marginal for blizzard potential. Radar indicated
snow continues to accumulate across the area. Going forecast is
good.
&&
.SHORT TERM...(Today through Monday night)
Issued at 343 AM CST Sun Dec 29 2019
Water vapor loop indicated upper low was located over eastern
NE. Upper low forecast to move into southwest MN then turn back to
the south and east in IA on Mon. Dry slot forecast to move into
eastern zones this afternoon and remains over the eastern zones on
Sun night.
The concern for today will be increasing winds and the potential
for blowing snow. Blowing snow is expected to be confined mostly
to the ND side as some freezing drizzle/freezing rain will be
possible over parts of northwest/west central MN. Blowing snow
model gives borderline conditions will be possible for later this
morning into the afternoon. Much will depend on snowfall rates and
if we can get persistent heavy snow in the same area for more
than 3 hours. Will keep winter storm warning going for the same
area as was previously forecast.
Another problem will occur for tonight and Mon is for a dry slot
moving through the area. This will produce the potential for
freezing drizzle/freezing rain mainly over the MN side but cant
rule out the freezing precip couldn't move into eastern ND.
.LONG TERM...(Tuesday through Saturday)
Issued at 343 AM CST Sun Dec 29 2019
The big storm system will shift east and skies will gradually clear
from the west Tuesday and winds diminish. Area to be in west-
northwest flow aloft with a couple of short waves expected to move
along the Canadian border. One Wednesday with light snow chances,
then a stronger one Saturday. Behind this system colder air will
move in with NAEFS temperature probabilities indicating below normal
temperatures after Jan 4th.
&&
.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Monday morning)
Issued at 557 AM CST Sun Dec 29 2019
IFR conditions were across much of the forecast area. Some VFR
conditions were located along the northern tier of counties. Expect
IFR conditions for today and tonight. VFR conditions along the
northern tier counties will fill in with IFR conditions this
afternoon as IFR cigs will move north and east as IFR cigs will move
north and west.
