Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Grand Forks ND
1241 PM CDT Fri Oct 30 2020

.UPDATE...
Issued at 1241 PM CDT Fri Oct 30 2020

The clearing trend turned more into northwest Minnesota, up
through the Crookston and Thief River Falls areas, so far missing
Grand Forks. However, it still looks like the fog should lift in
the Grand Forks area yet by mid afternoon. For the Devils Lake
region, it is looking less likely. May tack on a few more degrees
to highs across the sunnier areas.

UPDATE Issued at 951 AM CDT Fri Oct 30 2020

Starting out this morning, there were some areas that picked up a
dusting of snow overnight. So the ND/MN road condition maps
showed some slippery areas. Fog also expanded eastward into
portions of the Red River Valley. This has been locally dense, but
think it will be brief, so issued a Special Weather Statement to
cover that. South winds will pick up this morning, and satellite
imagery shows pretty rapid clearing working northward from the
southern Valley. If those trends continue, there may be more sun
today than expected. This would also help boost temperatures a
little more. So will be watching those trends through the rest of
the morning.

UPDATE Issued at 652 AM CDT Fri Oct 30 2020

Organized areas of light snow have diminished as expected, but
there are still a few pockets in west central MN and light
accumulations remain possible for the next few hours. Fog remains
mainly across eastern ND wit isolated pockets of dense fog.
Coverage of dense fog is low and not persistent enough at this
time for advisory consideration in our area, but this should be
monitored for the next few hours in the even it increased in
coverage (mainly west of the RRV). Minor adjustments made to
reflect trends during this update.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Today through Saturday)
Issued at 358 AM CDT Fri Oct 30 2020

Impacts in the short term periods include light snow accumulations
and fog early this morning, with strong wind potential on Saturday.

Early this morning: Area of light snow is ongoing as banded snow
late in the evening/earlier this morning have weakened. There is
still and axis of WAA supporting ongoing light snow
accumulations orientated over west central MN, but organized
frontogensis has ended. CAMs show activity continuing to slide east-
southeast and then dissipate through morning, with higher end amounts
to 1" (generally less). Very moist BL air ball is also lingering and
patchy fog has been reported mainly across northeast ND. Pockets of
dense fog so far have remained outside of our area, but I couldn't
rule out patchy dense fog within the Devils Lake basin this morning.

Today-Tonight: After snow ends early the rest of the day should
remain dry. Lingering stratus will complicate temperatures and some
locations may struggle to warm above freezing despite warmer air
mass aloft. Where clouds clear highs may reach the lower 40s.
Southerly winds should be gusts today 15-25, with strongest gusts
(to 35 mph) mainly over northeast ND.

Saturday-Saturday night: A stronger strong and cold front are shown
to move across the region. There is a limited window for moisture
advection and ensembles only show a weak/light precip signal in our
northeast where rain may mix with or change to snow as CAA
overspread the region. Amounts appear to be minimal (less than 0.1"
max QPF from ensembles where precip does occur) in northwest MN.

Of more concern will be winds as increasing pressure gradient and
CAA should support a period of at least advisory level winds with
frontal passage. 850 MB jet of around 50kts is shown by guidance to
pass over our CWA Saturday afternoon with the frontal passage.
Mixing heights could be suppressed by increasing/thick cloud cover,
but there should be enough momentum transfer from CAA as well as
strong height rises (3hr rises of 5mb and 6hr rises near 10 mb) to
suggest possible warning criteria winds (58 mph+) for some
locations. Flow remains more out of the west-northwest which
traditionally favors stronger winds west of the RRV into the Devils
Lake Basin and this also happens to be where the strongest signal in
guidance lines up for BL winds. Considering the increasing signal
for strong winds the decision was made to issue a High Wind Watch
for the Devils Lake Basin counties in our CWA. Elsewhere winds may
be high enough for advisory consideration eventually, but we will
monitor trends before considering watch upgrade and advisory
issuance.

As we make our way into the work week, we will have minimal chance
for impactful weather, if any at all. Late in the week, we could
see precipitation in our northern areas but this is of low
confidence right now due to how far out it is in time.
An upper level trough will make its way out of the northern plains
on Sunday, leaving behind a short burst of CAA to keep us in the 30s
and low 40s for highs. Once the cold air advection is behind us, we
will take on a more zonal flow in the upper levels. This allows our
temperatures to rebound, with 850mb temperatures warming through mid-
week. Highs will reach the upper 50s and low 60s for mid-week,
before we begin to cool slightly to more normal temperatures for
this time of year.&&

Look for ceilings to likely go down overnight into Fri AM with
most areas into the lower MVFR range and pockets of IFR in E ND
and perhaps NW MN in the higher terrain east of the RRV. South
winds 5 to 10kts, increasing to 15-25 kts Fri aftn in E ND/RRV.
Question for daytime Friday will be extent of ceiling/cloud
improvement and it may take a while but eventually do expect most
areas to reach into lower end VFR range by late in the day.

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Saturday afternoon)
Issued at 1241 PM CDT Fri Oct 30 2020

Biggest headache has been KGFK with this fog. It appeared it would
clear quickly, then the clearing line slowed down. Now it finally
appears it will lift northward in the next hour or so. There may
be some afternoon cumulus in the areas that stay fairly clear.
Winds have also been slower to come up than previously thought.
This slower trend will continue into tonight, then winds will
start coming up. Not sure if there will be gusts after dark, so
just kept a high sustained wind with a mention of LLWS. Think with
sunrise Saturday, winds will really start kicking in. Gustiest
period should be Saturday afternoon, just beyond this TAF period.
