Area forecast discussion, Oct 13, 11:46 AM MDT, 1 hour 37 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Bismarck ND 1246 PM CDT Tue Oct 13 2020 .UPDATE... Issued at 1240 PM CDT Tue Oct 13 2020 Minimal updates needed early this afternoon. Some breezy winds have developed across central and eastern portions today. Given somewhat dry conditions this could elevate the fire weather danger for these areas this afternoon. Attention is still focused on tonight into Wednesday where widespread precip is expected. Northern areas could still see rain mix with snow at times. Southern areas could see strong winds gusts over 40 MPH to perhaps above 50 MPH. UPDATE Issued at 958 AM CDT Tue Oct 13 2020 Minimal updates needed this morning as the forecast mainly remains on track. Some high clouds are starting to move into the southwest this morning. Expect high to mid clouds to increase through the day today. Further attention to be given to Wednesday's forecast with the potential for strong winds and perhaps some snow. Will assess these threats in later updates when this morning's models and ensembles become readily available. Overall initial indications are of rain and snow mix possible north of Highways 2, with potentially strong winds along and south of Interstate 94. UPDATE Issued at 634 AM CDT Tue Oct 13 2020 A small batch of clouds and sprinkles near Lake Sakakawea has all but dissipated. The forecast has been updated with the latest observations and near-term trends, resulting in no major changes. && .SHORT TERM...(Today through Wednesday) Issued at 418 AM CDT Tue Oct 13 2020 The main concern for the short term period is the potential for very strong winds on Wednesday. Rain is also likely across the northern half of the state, possibly mixed with snow in the morning. An occluded, closed upper low sits to the west of Hudson Bay early this morning. A weak vort max rounding the base of the low is causing some clouds and a few isolated rain showers from northwest into central North Dakota. Aside from this weak disturbance, an unperturbed northwest flow aloft will persist over the region today, with NW-SE surface ridging. It will still be breezy today, with westerly winds around 15 to 20 mph, strongest to the north and east. Highs are expected to reach the mid 50s to lower 60s. Attention quickly turns to a powerful upper level jet with an attendant mid level cyclone that is just off the British Columbia coast early this morning. This feature will quickly cross the mountains of southwest Canada and the northwest CONUS today and enter the Northern Plains early Wednesday. Models are in good agreement that a shield of rain supported by Q-vector convergence and isentropic ascent will move into western North Dakota late this evening and spread across the state through the night. The best and most persistent rain is expected along and north of Highway 2, where frontogenetical forcing may promote mesoscale banding, possibly resulting in a narrow band of storm total QPF greater than half an inch. The surface cyclone is forecast to be centered over North Dakota around 12 UTC Wednesday morning, flanked by a warm front to the east, trough to the south, and cold front to the west. Precipitation is forecast to continue along the cold side of the baroclinic zone as the low tracks east-southeast through the day, but with decreasing chances over time. Thermal profiles continue to suggest that snow may mix in with the rain along and north of Highway 2 during the early morning hours. Given the short duration and warm ground temperatures, no accumulation is expected if snow does form. Otherwise, all precipitation is expected to fall as rain. The biggest concern with this cyclone is the potential for very strong winds. An initial surge of wind will likely accompany the arrival of the surface trough in western North Dakota early Wednesday morning. The strongest cold air advection and pressure rises with the surface trough are favored more over South Dakota. But an 850 mb jet of around 50 kts is forecast to pass over southwest North Dakota and may be accompanied by precipitation, which would promote stronger winds being mixed down to the surface. Strong cold air advection and pressure rises associated with the western flanking cold front are forecast to arrive in northwest North Dakota mid to late Wednesday morning and quickly blast through the state from northwest to southeast by late afternoon. The cold front appears to lag a bit behind the core of the 850 mb jet, but momentum transfer analysis still suggests 40-50 kt winds being mixed down to the surface, especially in the presence of precipitation. There is very strong consistency on the track of this system across the entire suite of guidance. The only discernible difference is on its timing. The ECMWF ensemble favors a slightly earlier passage than what has been discussed above, which would potentially dampen the maximum wind gusts along the cold front with it moving through a bit earlier in the day. As it stands right now, this is shaping up to be a high-end advisory wind event, with potential for isolated to scattered warning criteria winds (40 mph sustained or 58 mph gusts). There is just enough lingering uncertainty to preclude issuing a High Wind Watch with this forecast package. An advisory will be needed eventually, but the following shift will be able to provide better detail on timing and location. For now we will message sustained winds to 35 mph and gusts to 55 mph, which is closer to the higher end of guidance. The strongest winds are expected across southwest and south central North Dakota. .LONG TERM...(Wednesday night through Monday) Issued at 418 AM CDT Tue Oct 13 2020 Below normal temperatures and a chance for the first snowfall of the season are the highlights of the long term period. Longwave troughing is forecast to deepen over the Upper Mississippi River Valley Wednesday night into Thursday on the heels of Wednesday's strong cyclone, while a strong upper level jet ejects off the Northern Rockies. There is decent model consensus that mid level impulses embedded in cyclonic flow aloft combined with left exit region jet dynamics will bring a slight chance of rain to western North Dakota Thursday afternoon and evening. Better clustering of solutions for the synoptic pattern to end the week is finally starting to emerge. The upper trough axis looks to shift eastward on Friday, possibly giving southern and western parts of the region a brief warmup. Models then favor an Alberta clipper crossing the Northern Plains on Saturday, ushering a period of perhaps well below normal temperatures, though it's worth noting that a few outliers remain. The ECMWF and its ensemble tend to favor a more northern track and more dynamic system than its GFS counterparts. Regardless, there is ensemble support for at least some precipitation to fall as snow. There certainly is not a high- end QPF signal with this system, but both the GEFS and ECMWF ensemble present a regional swath of probabilities exceeding one inch of snowfall (using a 10:1 ratio) on Saturday greater than 40 percent. What is likely most certain with this pattern, as has been the case too often lately, is that it will be windy. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Wednesday afternoon) Issued at 1240 PM CDT Tue Oct 13 2020 Overall VFR conditions will remain through much of this evening. An upper level disturbance could then bring MVFR and breezy conditions tonight into Wednesday. Rest of today will see increasing mid to high level clouds, with some breezy winds at times, and generally VFR conditions. Tonight, a disturbance will bring chances for rain showers generally from west to east. These showers could produce MVFR to perhaps brief IFR conditions at times, while cloud ceilings also remain at MVFR conditions. Wednesday will see a sharp cold front move through, brining more shower activity and MVFR to brief IFR conditions. Some showers in the north may mix with snow at times, although confidence was not high enough to include in any TAF sites at this time. Along and behind this front will see gusty winds, possible above 40 knots for some sites. && .BIS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
