What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this wind chill 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 chill advisory went out at Dec 24, 12:07 PM CST, 1 hour 53 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Dec 24, 12:07 PM CST, 1 hour 53 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Bismarck ND 1207 PM CST Fri Dec 24 2021 .UPDATE... Issued at 1207 PM CST Fri Dec 24 2021 No significant adjustments were made for this update. Patchy blowing snow with northwest winds gusting to around 40 mph continues from the Devils Lake Basin to the northern James River Valley. Elsewhere, winds continue to relax. UPDATE Issued at 856 AM CST Fri Dec 24 2021 Strong, gusty winds along the cold front continue to be the main forecast problem this morning. Many locations are reporting gusts in the 40 to 50 mph range when the front moves through, but only for an hour or two at most. Surface observations and area webcams suggest the gusty winds are producing some blowing and drifting snow from the Turtle Mountains area into the northern James River Valley. A patchy blowing snow mention has been added to the forecast. UPDATE Issued at 606 AM CST Fri Dec 24 2021 Freezing rain has moved out of the north central portion of the state. The Winter Weather Advisory for freezing rain has expired. As expected, winds are quite strong with the front, but are lasting only up to a couple of hours before dropping off to well below advisory criteria. We made some minor adjustments to sky cover this morning, otherwise && .SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight) Issued at 322 AM CST Fri Dec 24 2021 Main forecast issues will be ongoing freezing rain advisory and snow chances tonight. Light rain continues to scoot quickly east through north central ND. Although the heavier rain has moved east of the forecast area, will likely leave the advisory go for this forecast package and go back and cancel it at or before 6 AM. Temperatures are dropping quickly over the far northwest attim, and expect any wet surfaces will quickly freeze in the north central, so no concerns letting the advisory go for a while longer. Strong winds are also accompanying the cold front with gusts noted to around 40 mph over northwest early this morning. Expecting a couple hours of strong winds with the pressure fall/rise couplet (at times into advisory criteria) before settling down for the remainder of the day. Utilized the HRRR winds gusts through the morning hours to account for the higher gusts. At this time will not issue a wind advisory, but will continue to monitor. Temperatures steady or falling today as most areas will have likely seen their daytime highs. Snow on the leading edge of the next system pushes into the southwest this evening and possibly into the south central by around midnight. Will cover this in the long term portion of the discussion. .LONG TERM...(Saturday through Thursday) Issued at 322 AM CST Fri Dec 24 2021 Main forecast issue in the long term period will be the system taking shape over the southwest Friday night and spreading into the south central before dawn Saturday. Upper level trough off the Pacific Coast continues to dig south with a broad southwest flow over the Northern Rockies and into the Northern Plains. Late Tonight through Saturday an upper level impulse tracks east along the ND/SD border. Meanwhile we have a strong upper level jet just to the south and a surface low tracking across central South Dakota. This setup is looking more and more like a widespread light snow event across southwest and south central ND. However, there are elements of strong FG forcing and a tight deformation zone setting up right above the strong upper jet, which lies right along the I-94 corridor. Our main concern is that the qpf with this setup may be underdone. You can see some of the mesoscale models coming in with some higher qpf amounts. This is worrisome given the alignment of the snow totals along the Interstate, on Christmas Day. One thing in or favor will be the lack of winds. If we were looking at strong winds a winter storm watch would probably be a no-brainer, given the Holiday. However, with the uncertainty in the placement and amount of qpf, but the thinking that the potential does exist for some bands of heavier snowfall, exceeding 6 inches, we will issue a SPS for this system, with this forecast package. The day shift should have time to access whether an Advisory/Warning is needed. Another round of snow is expected late Sunday into Sunday night as another, stronger, wave moves through the mean upper trough. At this time it looks like an even more widespread area of light snow can be expected, with possibly northern and eastern portions of the forecast area favored for heavier snow amounts. In addition to the snow, we will be dealing with very cold temperatures and dangerous wind chills. At this time it appears the northern tier counties may need a wind chill advisory during the late overnight and early morning hours over the weekend. Next week the threat for dangerous wind chills spread across the forecast area, with high temperatures below zero across the forecast area around midweek. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Saturday afternoon) Issued at 1207 PM CST Fri Dec 24 2021 VFR conditions are expected through this evening as gusty northwest winds gradually diminish. Snow with MVFR ceilings and IFR visibility is expected across southern North Dakota beginning early Christmas morning at KDIK and spreading east through midday. && .BIS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && UPDATE...Hollan SHORT TERM...TWH LONG TERM...TWH AVIATION...Hollan

Snow will enter southwest North Dakota late tonight, spreading into south central North Dakota overnight into early Christmas Day. The snow will then gradually taper off from west to east through they day as the main area of snow moves east. Although some light snow will extend into northwest and north central North Dakota, accumulating snow is expected to remain mainly along and south of Highway 200. Most areas south of Highway 200 can expect around two to four inches of snow. Although uncertainty remains in the exact location, confidence is increasing that a smaller area may experience heavier snow rates, with 6 or more inches of snow. This could set up around the Interstate 94 corridor. Holiday travel will be affected, especially over those areas that receive the heavier snowfall. Another round of snow is expected later Sunday into Monday, and again on Tuesday. In addition, dangerous wind chills are possible late this weekend and through next week. Stay tuned for additional updates, and be sure to check the latest road conditions before traveling.
