Area forecast discussion, Sep 1, 3:26 AM MDT, 50 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Bismarck ND 426 AM CDT Tue Sep 1 2020 .SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight) Issued at 420 AM CDT Tue Sep 1 2020 Bottom Line Up Front - Have posted a Wind Advisory headline for most of the forecast area for today, all but the far southern James River Valley. Have reposted and expanded by a county or two the Red Flag Warning for today. Have posted a Fire Weather Watch for Wednesday. Headlines for wind may (probably will) be needed for Wednesday, but one, or maybe I should say, three, things at a time. 4 MB pressure falls were already evident across Saskatchewan early this Tuesday morning. This ahead of a pre frontal trough that will be passing through the area later today. The lapse rate will be dry adiabatic high enough into the atmosphere to mix 30 knot wind gusts to the surface along the South Dakota border, to as high as 40 knot gusts along U.S. Highway 2 today. Sustained winds will be in the 20s. That mixing will also bring dry air to the surface in the form of lower dew points. Those speeds, coupled with minimum relative humidity values in the 20s this afternoon, and ongoing dry fuels in most areas, warrant fire weather headlines. Mostly sunny today, though there is mid level support to that surface feature passing through later today, in the form of an H5 short wave trough. Some of the synoptic scale models, and the CAMS, keep most of the showers and storms with this in Canada, but a few clip the northeast part of the forecast area, Bottineau through Rolette and Pierce counties, with weak simulated reflectivity (showers). Again, best chances are north of the border and north of Devil's Lake and Grand Forks, but with weak moisture pooling forecast there and some weak MUCAPE, a shower is not out of the question. An isolated shower possible late this afternoon in those three counties. Highs today in the 70s. .LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Monday) Issued at 420 AM CDT Tue Sep 1 2020 Look for warmer weather on Wednesday, into the 80s ahead of an advancing cold front that will bring even higher wind speeds and lower dewpoint air. Despite the complicated nature of having so many weather headlines posted, in collaboration with neighbors to the west and south, and looking to national guidance on fire weather from SPC, we opted to go with a Fire Weather Watch for Wednesday (that will need to be upgraded for at least some of the counties included in that Wednesday watch). Wind headlines will also be needed, possible even a high wind warning at some point. The passage of that front on Wednesday also brings scattered showers and maybe a thunderstorm. A roller coaster of cooler and warmer to end the week, before what looks like a very cool upcoming holiday weekend. By that we are talking 20 degrees below normal for highs Sunday and Monday. Maybe so, along with chances for showers. At this point Saturday looks like the warmest and driest of all three holiday weekend days. Might want to enjoy that day. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Wednesday morning) Issued at 420 AM CDT Tue Sep 1 2020 VFR at all terminals through the TAF period. A surface trough will cross the forecast area today with winds shifting to be from the west-northwest as it passes, and significantly increasing in speed behind it. Gusts will reach near 40 knots, especially at northern terminals KXWA/KMOT. && .FIRE WEATHER... Issued at 420 AM CDT Tue Sep 1 2020 The Red Flag Warning posted on Monday for today continues and was expanded to include Sioux County. With a surface trough passage wind speeds will be sustained in the 20s across the area with minimum RH also in the 20s west into the central parts of the state. The atmosphere will mix dry adiabatically high enough to mix these speeds down to the surface, and with that mixing out, possibly dew point temperatures lower than what is currently forecast. There is recovery of RH tonight and decreasing winds. On Wednesday a cold front will take aim on the area with wind speeds possibly higher than today and RH possibly lower. With this possibility we have opted to post a Fire Weather Watch for Wednesday, with the expectation that parts of it will need an upgrade to warning. && .BIS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
