What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this winter storm warning 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 winter storm warning went out at Apr 1, 7:12 PM CDT, 3 hours 5 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 1, 7:12 PM CDT, 3 hours 5 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Bismarck ND
712 PM CDT Wed Apr 1 2020

.UPDATE...
Issued at 712 PM CDT Wed Apr 1 2020

Quick update to let the Winter Weather Advisory in the northwest
and far north central expire as scheduled at 00 UTC in line with
the latest observational trends.

UPDATE Issued at 538 PM CDT Wed Apr 1 2020

We increased PoPs for predominantly snow across central ND through
about 03 UTC with this update to reflect ongoing radar and surface
observation trends. Namely, convectively-enhanced snow showers are
persisting in the post-frontal regime, particularly where midlevel
lapse rates exceed 7 C/km and where RAP-based soundings show non-
zero, though weak MUCAPE aloft. Precipitation is being aided by
midlevel frontogenesis as well. Guidance suggests midlevel lapse
rates will become more stable by mid evening as the post-frontal
air mass cools further, and the initial frontogenesis will also
weaken.

Otherwise, no changes to headlines or the rest of the forecast are
being made at this time, though we fully expect to let the Winter
Weather Advisory in northwest and far north central ND to expire
as scheduled at 00 UTC. We'll be monitoring mesoscale trends from
SD into far south central ND closely later this evening to assess
how the next round of potential banded precipitation may evolve
overnight.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Thursday)
Issued at 220 PM CDT Wed Apr 1 2020

As an upper level shortwave continues to rotate north and east,
snow across the north will continue to taper off through the
evening. Further south, expect some rain and snow showers to
persist through the afternoon and into the evening, potentially
mixed with some light freezing rain and/or sleet. As the snow has
continued to diminish, we elected to go ahead and convert the
Winter Storm Warning across the far northwest to an Advisory. With
light snow still lingering in these areas, will keep the Advisory
going for now.

After a brief lull in activity, another shortwave rotates around
the base of a western trough into south central North Dakota
tonight. Precipitation across the far south central and southern
James River Valley will likely start as rain, transitioning to a
wintry mix of rain, freezing rain, and snow, and then eventually
to all snow. At times on Thursday, snow may mix with freezing
drizzle across the southern James River Valley as forecast
soundings suggest the loss of ice aloft periodically.

Yet another wave rounds the base of the trough into southwestern
and south central North Dakota during the late morning hours on
Thursday, spreading accumulating snow across portions of the
southwest and much of the central. When all is said and done, 4 to
6 inches of snow is likely across the James River Valley with ice
accumulations of up to a tenth of an inch. Further west and north
(including the Bismarck/Mandan area), confidence is increasing in
accumulations reaching the 3 to 5 inch range. Because of this, we
have elected to expand the Winter Weather Advisory area west and
north, although we will not begin the Advisory in these areas
until 12z on Thursday. The only other change was to up the start
time of the Advisory over the James River Valley to 03z Thursday
as guidance has come better in line regarding onset timing. Expect
cold temperatures on Thursday with highs in the 20s.

.LONG TERM...(Thursday night through Wednesday)
Issued at 220 PM CDT Wed Apr 1 2020

Snow will begin to diminish to the east late Thursday night into Friday
morning as the main vort lobe finally pushes out of western and central
North Dakota. A subtle upper ridge moves in Friday afternoon
which will lead to subsidence and widespread clearing. The ridging
will also start to slowly moderate temperatures again after a
chilly morning, mainly in the teens. Friday will see highs in the
30s, and we will see highs this time frame back into the 40s
again through the rest of the weekend. A progressive pattern
continues and various weak waves will bring chances of light rain
and/or snow through Sunday night, but details and exact timing
remain unclear at this time.

A more substantial warm-up comes back into the forecast by the
beginning of the next work week with widespread highs in the 50s
and 60s by Tuesday.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Thursday evening)
Issued at 712 PM CDT Wed Apr 1 2020

MVFR ceilings will gradually improve to VFR from west to east this
evening through 06Z with KJMS possibly remaining MVFR (with brief
periods of IFR) overnight, though this is less certain.
Conditions deteriorate for the far south-central and James River
Valley, including KJMS, early Thursday morning with chances for
snow. Periods of heavier snow could drop KJMS cigs/vsby to IFR in
the 12-18Z time frame. Gusty northwest winds continue for all of
western/central North Dakota through the TAF period.
