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 Oct 21, 2:51 PM CDT, 11 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Oct 21, 2:51 PM CDT, 11 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Bismarck ND 251 PM CDT Wed Oct 21 2020 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Thursday) Issued at 1243 PM CDT Wed Oct 21 2020 A winter storm will impact the northern Plains tonight through Thursday evening. The southward trend in model runs continues today with the greatest snowfall potential across south central and southeast ND. As confidence grows in amounts and location, we have decided to issue a Winter Weather Advisory for the I-94 corridor and southwest ND and a Winter Storm Warning for locations south of I-94 across south central ND. Ahead of the upcoming system, broad but weak low-level warm air advection is producing some light snow across southwest ND. This area of snow should produce an inch or less. Tonight, a trough is expected to deepen over the Rockies and progress east towards the northern Plains. As this trough enters the northern Plains mid to upper-level ascent will increase. A 700mb frontogenesis band will strengthen with the arrival of the upper-level jet streak. The 12 UTC model suite is consistent in keeping the best frontogenetical forcing near the southern North Dakota border through Thursday morning. This is well supported by ensemble guidance as the 12Z EC/GFS/CMC mean ensemble probabilities keep the highest QPF axis along the southern border. The southern tier of counties (mainly east of the Missouri River) look likely to see the greatest snowfall totals with probability of exceeding 6 inches in the 40 to 70 percent range (highest probs across the southern portions of the counties). Guidance has continued to push the brunt of the forcing (and QPF) over to the South Dakota side. North of I-94 to Highway 2 between one and four inches of snow may fall. North of Highway 2 an inch or less is expected. .LONG TERM...(Thursday night through Wednesday) Issued at 1243 PM CDT Wed Oct 21 2020 Potentially record breaking cold temperatures are forecast this weekend into early next week. Another system may bring accumulating snow this weekend as well. Snow tapers off Thursday evening as high pressure settles in behind the trough. A seasonably cold 850mb air mass is expected to accompany the cold surface high with NAEFS guidance showing both 850mb temperatures and MSLP near climatological minimum and maximum respectively Friday into early next week. Forecast lows drop into the teens and single digits with daily highs consistently below freezing. Some locations across southwest ND may even see below zero temperatures early next week. Another round of snow will be possible Saturday as the next trough crosses the region. The latest global model runs show a very similar setup to tonight/tomorrow's system coming through Saturday night into Sunday. While differences exist between deterministic models in north-south placement, ensemble probabilities increased with NBM producing higher end PoPs across the south during this period. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Thursday afternoon) Issued at 1239 PM CDT Wed Oct 21 2020 Persistent IFR/MVFR stratus continues across portions of central North Dakota. Models are struggling with detecting this which makes timing out improvement to VFR challenging. Widespread chances for snow begin between 00Z and 06Z and last through Thursday. Areas in southern North Dakota may receive heavy snow with IFR conditions, impacting KDIK-KBIS-KJMS. && .BIS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... Winter Storm Watch from late tonight through late Thursday night for NDZ019>023-025-034>037-042-045>048-050-051.
