Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Bismarck ND
618 AM CST Sun Mar 1 2020

.UPDATE...
Issued at 602 AM CST Sun Mar 1 2020

Forecast currently looks on track. We did just have a gust to 61
mph at the Williston Airport with the 6 AM observation. Most obs
have been in the 50 to 55 mph range for peak gusts upstream and
they've dropped off pretty quickly after a short period of
stronger winds. Will bump up winds a bit in the NPW. RAP soundings
are showing the potential for a brief period of HWW criteria
winds. Will continue to monitor for potential HWW.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight)
Issued at 318 AM CST Sun Mar 1 2020

Wind highlights are the main concern in the short term forecast
period.

Currently, surface low pressure is located near Regina Saskatchewan.
Strong pressure gradient and fall/rise couplet is currently
producing gusts around 45 mph over western Saskatchewan.
The initial cold front has pushed through the forecast area.
Earlier snow shower activity has diminished and the next precip will
mainly across the north behind the secondary cold front.
Leading edge of this is pushing across the Saskatchewan border into
Montana, north of Glasgow, and will be working it's way into
northwest ND shortly before 12 UTC. Any accumulating precip today
should remain along the northern tier counties and most likely
confined to maybe the Turtle Mountains, which will be closest to the
upper level low, which sweep by mid morning through early afternoon.
There may be a scattered rain or snow shower as far south as the
Highway 200 corridor, but it will be too dry with strong subsidence
south of here.

The main hazard to day will be the strong winds associated with the
low pressure system. Already this morning we see boundary layer
winds of 35 to 45 knots with 85H winds to 50 knots across much of
western and central ND with an area of strong cold advection from
south central into northeast ND, and another, over western ND,
behind the secondary cold front. In addition strong lapse rates are
already developing over this same area. Latest RAP forecast
soundings indicate the potential for boundary layer winds to elevate
to near 50 knot winds aloft Crosby around 10 UTC and sweep southeast
to Minot and Garrison around 12-14 UTC and eventually into the James
River Valley near midday. The strongest isallobaric winds will track
across the northwest and north central this morning through early
afternoon. Winds aloft are not as strong over southwest ND but steep
lapse rates remain over the southwest and south central through the
afternoon, keeping the potential to mix the stronger winds aloft
down to the surface through the afternoon. Granted those winds will
not be as strong, especially after 18-21 UTC. Expect the day shift
may be able to drop western portions of the advisory early.

Once the winds diminish this afternoon west and by early evening
central, it will be quiet through the remainder of Sunday night.

Expect little recovery in temperatures once the cold advection kicks
in, but they won't drop off quickly either. we may see some slight
recovery this afternoon. Generally expect rather steady temperatures
in the upper 20s to middle 30s. Expect mainly clear and colder
temperatures tonight with lows in the teens to lower 20s.

.LONG TERM...(Monday through Saturday)
Issued at 318 AM CST Sun Mar 1 2020

A couple of clipper systems will track across the Northern Plains
through the extended period as a northwest upper flow remains
over the region. Each clipper system will bring a brief warm-up
ahead of the low, generally light precipitation associated with
the low, and a brief cool-down behind the exiting low. One will
track through the area Monday into Tuesday. The next will move
through the area Wednesday night through Thursday. The main
feature with these systems will likely be the winds with breezy
to windy conditions both ahead and behind each low. Temperatures
remain seasonable to mild through the period, with the potential
for a nice warm-up at the end of the forecast period as models are
indicating stronger ridging over the central U.S. Friday and
Saturday.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Monday morning)
Issued at 602 AM CST Sun Mar 1 2020

A strong cold front will move across western and central North
Dakota today. Strong winds with gusts to around 55 mph with the
initial cdfnt passage, and advisory criteria winds (sustained 30
mph with gusts to 45 mph through the morning west and mid morning
through the afternoon central. MVFR ceilings will spread across
the forecast area this morning, then lift to low VFR early this
afternoon before clearing mid to late afternoon.
