Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Bismarck ND
217 PM CDT Tue Sep 29 2020

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Wednesday)
Issued at 216 PM CDT Tue Sep 29 2020

Gusty winds on Wednesday with near critical fire weather conditions
highlight the main challenges for the short term forecast period.

An upper level west coast ridge remains in place, keeping the
Northern Plains in a northwest flow regime aloft. At the surface, a
frontal zone extends southeast from the northwest corner of North
Dakota to the southern James River Valley.

This front will continue to dip south through the rest of the day
and tonight. Expect breezy northwest winds to relax slightly
overnight, but they will remain a bit elevated. A stronger push of
cold air advection will cross the state Wednesday, bringing with it
much cooler air (highs in the 50s) and gusty winds. We went ahead
and decided to issue a Wind Advisory for all of western and central
North Dakota from 15z to 01z Thursday. 12z NAM BUFR soundings
suggest sustained northwest winds will max out in the 30 to 35 mph
range with gusts up to 50 mph possible.

The other concern for Wednesday afternoon will be near critical fire
weather conditions across the southwest. The aforementioned
sustained winds of 30 to 35 mph will overlap pretty well with
afternoon minimum relative humidity values in the 20 to 30 percent
range. For now, we will keep monitoring and message near critical
wording in the Hazardous Weather Outlook and the Fire Weather
Planning Forecast.

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday night through Tuesday)
Issued at 216 PM CDT Tue Sep 29 2020

Winds will begin to diminish after sunset Wednesday evening but
still may remain breezy for a few hours, giving way to a chilly
night with lows in the upper 20s to upper 30s. Thursday will be the
coldest day of the period, with highs in the mid 40s to mid 50s. On
Friday we moderate a bit into the 50s and 60s.

We remain in northwest flow to almost northerly flow aloft through
the end of the week with an embedded shortwave riding down into the
area Friday into Saturday. Widespread precipitation is not expected
with this wave but a few light rain or snow showers will be possible
overnight Friday across the Turtle Mountains.

The ridge tries to flatten briefly towards the end of the weekend,
giving us a period of near zonal flow which will also help
facilitate a warm up going into the work week. We may see highs back
into the 60s and 70s again Monday and Tuesday. With the exception of
the light rain or snow across the Turtle Mountains Friday night, the
rest of the long range looks to remain dry.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Wednesday afternoon)
Issued at 1206 PM CDT Tue Sep 29 2020

VFR conditions are expected through the period. Breezy northwest
winds will increase this afternoon before diminishing slightly
overnight. Winds will once again increase during the late morning
hours on Wednesday.
