What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this winter storm 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 winter storm warning went out at Oct 9, 6:59 AM CDT, 3 hours 42 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Oct 9, 6:59 AM CDT, 3 hours 42 minutes before

659 AM CDT Wed Oct 9 2019

.UPDATE...
Issued at 658 AM CDT Wed Oct 9 2019

No changes at this update.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Today through Thursday night)
Issued at 351 AM CDT Wed Oct 9 2019

Today through 12Z Fri

Cold front extended from near HCO to Binford ND to JMS. Front was
moving to the southeast about 20 knots. Front is forecast to move
into the far eastern zones late tonight and stall. Front will
continue moving east Thu night. Rain will develop post frontal today
and spread across the forecast area by this evening. Rain will
change to snow in the Devils Lake basin by late afternoon or early
evening. Snow will spread east but remain mostly confined to eastern
ND for tonight and Thu. Winds will increase with areas of blowing
snow expected late tonight and Thu.

.LONG TERM...(Friday through Tuesday)
Issued at 351 AM CDT Wed Oct 9 2019

Friday thru Saturday

NCEP models closing in on good agreement now with track of 500 mb
low having it in far west central into far northwestern MN Friday
into early Saturday with heavy snow deformation band setting up just
west of the Red River thru eastern ND and then moving a bit west
more into central ND Friday night.  Dry slot will work thru most of
NW/WC MN Friday into Saturday morning limiting precipitation in this
area thru the pd.  Although still some uncertainities.  The
immediate Red River zone including Grand Forks to Fargo on the edge
of the heavy snow area to the west  but everything is pointing
toward the big snows going just a tad west...but far northern RRV
does seem to get into the action Friday night.  The upper low will
start to fill as it slows down over far NW MN near Roseau Saturday
and some moisture does wrap south around the upper low and this is
when the best chances for snow exist for NW/WC MN areas east of the
Red River valley.

Coordination with neighboring offices resulted in using WPC QPF and
lower snow ratios in line with WPC vs NBM.  This lowered snow totals
in the immediate Red River valley and east.  Far eastern fcst area
such as Bemidji to Baudette likely get very little snow even on
Saturday.  But still some uncertainity in this several days out.
Kept the watches going for the entire forecast area though 18z
Saturday but did push back start times for most of MN cwa to start
at either 00z Fri or 12Z Fri.    In dry slot always a risk of some
drizzle and fog.  Temperatures from the NBM seem suspect in that
they drop them into a few upper 20s....considering moist airmass in
place that may be too cool and temps hold near 31/32 at night and 35
or so during the day in NW/WC MN dry slot area.  Most probable area
for some minor icing is far NW MN near the upper low or just SE of
it NW of Bemidji up thru Roseau so kept some chances for freezing
precip at night Friday night.

Sunday thru Tuesday

A quieter period for sure.  Some minor precip chances and temps
below normal.  But overall upper flow is west-northwest.

.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Thursday morning)

spread across the entire forecast area by around midnight.
