What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this wind advisory went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Bismarck, ND wrote its last area forecast discussion before this wind advisory went out at Feb 29, 1:34 PM MST, 3 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Feb 29, 1:34 PM MST, 3 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Bismarck ND
234 PM CST Sat Feb 29 2020

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Sunday)
Issued at 233 PM CST Sat Feb 29 2020

Saturday afternoon, a warm front extended across central North
Dakota and will move east through the region during the evening. A
cold front will then move southeast through the region late tonight
and Sunday.

Short term forecast concerns are gusty winds associated with the
cold frontal passage and some marginal precipitation chances.

Tonight, we anticipate mild temperatures as the warm air and some
mid and high level clouds keep temperatures from falling very far.
Overnight lows will be in the mid 20s to lower 30s.

On Sunday, the front will already by through the northwest sections
of the state by sunrise, and will quickly move southeast through the
region before noon. We will issue a wind advisory for northwest and
north central North Dakota into the James River Valley for
northwest winds of 30 to 45 mph. Northwest h850 winds to 45 kts and
strong Low level lapse rates will contribute to momentum transfer.

CAM and global models show some chances for rain and snow southwest
into the central on Sunday, and agree with this, although amounts
will be light.

.LONG TERM...(Sunday night through Saturday)
Issued at 233 PM CST Sat Feb 29 2020

The extended period will feature generally mild weather with spotty
and light precipitation amounts. Highs through the period will be in
teh 40s and 50s across teh southwest, and in the 30s and 40s
elsewhere. This period will cause some active snowmelt across the
James river valley and western Devils lake Basin. But with highs in
the 30s to lower 40s and lows in the teens and 20s, favorable
conditions for a slower initial snowmelt appear likely.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Sunday afternoon)
Issued at 1229 PM CST Sat Feb 29 2020

VFR conditions will prevail across the region until a cold front
from Canada enters the picture late tonight. The front will bring
stratus and MVFR conditions to the region progressively from
northwest to southeast. Expect MVFR at KXWA around 12z, reaching
KBIS after 16z. MVFR may reach KJMS Sunday afternoon.

Gusty winds of 20 to 32kts will also arrive with the front. Only
spotty precipitation is anticipated.
