Area forecast discussion, Nov 7, 11:45 AM CST, 2 hours 29 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Grand Forks ND 1145 AM CST Sat Nov 7 2020 .UPDATE... Issued at 1145 AM CST Sat Nov 7 2020 Fog is finally starting to lift up in the Langdon area. However, most of the FA remains cloudy, or has filtered sun. The warm spot is around the Staples airport, where it is 64 degrees. Don't anticipate much change overall to the cloud cover, with minimal warming for most areas through the rest of the afternoon. The exception will be over west central Minnesota. UPDATE Issued at 1021 AM CST Sat Nov 7 2020 Cloud trends and temperatures will be a major challenge today. Most confident about northeast North Dakota, where cloudy and cold conditions will likely remain in place all day. Locations like Langdon may struggle to reach 30-32 degrees by afternoon. Least confident about the far south/southeast, where it is currently cloudy with lighter surface winds. If this area can get some clearing, or the boundary pushes a little further north, temperatures could rocket up. Currently, Elbow Lake is 38 and Alexandria is 59. Where that boundary moves, there is a potential for 20+ degrees of temperature difference. Not planning any changes to the temperature forecast yet, but do plan on adding fog to the Langdon to Cando corridor for a few more hours. NDAWN webcams in this area are showing some accretion on their lenses from the fog. Made a call to the Cavalier County Sheriff's Office, who said the roads up there were fine, it was just foggy. UPDATE Issued at 634 AM CST Sat Nov 7 2020 Morning lows will range from the mid twenties in the Devils Lake basin to near 50 in west-central MN. Low clouds will also continue filtering south through the morning. Clouds are getting low enough in the northern Devils Lake basin to produce some patchy fog. Recent HRRR runs are suggesting temperature recovery this afternoon, although this seems to be an outlier with temps in Grant Co reaching 75 and temps in the eastern RRV in the 50s. Not buying into this just yet with the HRRRX much more reasonable. Still, temps will be a challenge today given the stationary front retreating back north into the CWA. && .SHORT TERM...(Today through Sunday) Issued at 300 AM CST Sat Nov 7 2020 Hazardous weather is not expected today and Sunday excluding perhaps some impacts from gusty winds Sunday afternoon. Also of note will be Sunday's warm temps marking the last day of the recent warm spell. Currently a cold front has pushed south through the majority of the CWA, although is getting hung up on the higher elevations of west-central MN with the shallow nature of the surface air mass exhibiting cold air damming scenario. As the front continues south, it is expected to eventual stall within east-central SD into central MN before trying to migrate back northward ahead of a developing surface low in the High Plains of the WY/MT. However, steady northerly flow through the heart of the CWA should reinforce post frontal colder air perhaps shunting steady progress of the front back northward through at least midday. This along with expected widespread cloud cover should keep those outside of west-central MN on the cool side today with highs in the 40s and 50s, although still near normal to slightly above normal for this time of year. Warmest locations today that have best chance for exceeding 60 reside in west-central Minnesota south of US Hwy 2. The now warm front is expected to eventually move north Saturday overnight into Sunday pushed by strengthening southerly flow aloft ahead of a now well developed cyclone moving through MT into western ND and southern SK/MB. Anomalously warm air ahead of the cyclone will advect over the area Sunday allowing for one last day of unusually warm temps well into the 60s, breaking 70 for some in the southern Valley, despite another day of clouds. Ahead of the strong cyclone nearing the area will be strong winds just above the surface and a tightening pressure gradient. This will allow winds generally 20-30 mph gusting near or higher than 40 mph out of the south-southeast. Some guidance try to harness winds over 50 mph after mixing to near 850 mb Sunday afternoon, especially within the RRV and along the I-94 corridor. There is some validity with this thought as dry, warm conditions should help mixing as well as the chance for clouds to clear by the afternoon. Should this happen, wind advisory criteria may be met. Lastly, as the cold front assoc withe the cyclone moves west across the area, some guidance hints at some convection along the front which may house some rumbles of thunder; although overall moisture is greatly lacking along with shallow lapse rates. Some additional rain showers near the center of the low will be possible near the Devils Lake basin late Sunday. .LONG TERM...(Sunday night through Friday) Issued at 300 AM CST Sat Nov 7 2020 Sunday night will see the chance for rain showers move more into northwestern and west central Minnesota. What instability there was weakens considerably after 00z so based on other offices did keep thunder out of fcst past 00z Mon. Look for windy west winds behind the front into Monday. Another vort max will move quickly northeast on the east side of the upper trough/low that is over Manitoba. This wave will increase chances for rain along the frontal boundary which Monday will be from Duluth to Sioux Falls. NAM does bring low pressure northeast along the stalled frontal boundary and thus does have more precipitation farther west into far SE ND into NW MN than GFS/GEM/ECMWF which all keep precip chances confined to Bemidji- Fergus Falls and east. NBM pops with NAM influence does have chances for precip back to around Fargo and Thief River Falls Monday, albeit low. See no reason to alter this. Temperatures would suggest if precipitation falls farther west it would be light snow with rain/snow mix closer into central MN. Amounts look quite light for any snow if it would occur as heaviest qpf is aligned closer to the front from NE into SW Minnesota. Thus any impacts from this system would be minimal for our forecast area. Tuesday and Tuesday night will see another short wave move northeast and this one will be a tad farther east as the sfc front moves east. ECMWF maintains a bit stronger 500 mb system and higher precipitation chances over the southeastern fcst area (Park Rapids to Wadena and Elbow Lake MN) Tuesday evening. Looking at GEFS plumes, it would indicate ECMWF to be an outlier and therefore model blend pops remain low. Wednesday into Friday will give dry conditions, though area remains in the upper trough and some weak short waves may give slight precipitation chances. But any waves are too ill defined at this stage and therefore dry fcst mid to late week. Temperatures will be seasonably cold with highs mid 20s to upper 30s across the area in this period. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Sunday afternoon) Issued at 1145 AM CST Sat Nov 7 2020 Guidance still shows slowly improving conditions this afternoon, with all TAF sites rising into VFR by mid to late afternoon. By tonight, south winds will begin increasing, especially across west central Minnesota. This should prevent fog formation in the Devils Lake region. However, there may be more MVFR clouds developing overnight, in the Devils Lake region and around KBJI. KGFK/KTVF may also see some, but they may be on the fringe of them as well. The south winds will continue to increase on Sunday, becoming strongest just after this TAF period. && .FGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... ND...None. MN...None.
