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 25, 12:55 PM CST, 1 hour 11 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Dec 25, 12:55 PM CST, 1 hour 11 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Bismarck ND 1255 PM CST Sat Dec 25 2021 .UPDATE... Issued at 1247 PM CST Sat Dec 25 2021 Snow continues to diminish from southwest to northeast. Any additional accumulations will generally be in the trace to one inch range with some slightly higher amounts possible across portions of Sheridan, Wells, Foster, Stutsman, Kidder, and Burleigh counties. The forecast looks to be in good shape. Other than tweaking precipitation chances, just blended in the latest observations to the forecast. UPDATE Issued at 853 AM CST Sat Dec 25 2021 The forecast is evolving as expected. Up to 2.6 inches of snow here at the airport thus far with one more push of light to moderate snow that should come through. All in all, there was just enough cushion last night for Santa's sleigh to operate smoothly. Still think there will be some 4 to 6 inch totals at least across the far south central and southeast closer to the South Dakota border. Went ahead and cancelled the Wind Chill Advisory across the north as values have improved and should continue to improve. All other headlines look to be in good shape. UPDATE Issued at 647 AM CST Sat Dec 25 2021 No significant changes with this update. Just under 2 inches at Bismarck (1.9) through 6 AM. Made some minor updates to pops based on latest radar and short term models. && .SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight) Issued at 329 AM CST Sat Dec 25 2021 Currently, snow was indicated over far southwest ND, with light snow extending north to around Interstate 94 (light snow has recently begun at Beach and Dickinson). Higher reflectivities aloft area extending into south central ND, but a drier northerly flow has kept ceilings in the 7-10k-ft range as of yet. Latest Satellite imagery shows a nice baroclinic leaf structure over the eastern High Plains into the western Dakotas, and racing quickly east. Latest mesoscale models depict radar reflectivities tracking east across the current advisory area. At this time the see no reason to adjust the advisory area. Based on latest NBM guidance the area of 3-5 inches of snow has shifted only slightly south, but not nearly far enough to remove any counties from the Advisory. Latest radar shows radar returns (more cellular in nature) developing along the ND/SD border over south central ND due to the FG forcing congruent with higher lapse rates. As the synoptic scale forcing catches up with this later this morning, think there may still be an area of enhanced snowfall rates from far south cental ND into the southern James River valley. Latest HREF depict this area with a good probability of over 4" of snow. SREF probabilities of DGZ >100mb are also high over this same area. A limiting factor may be the overall speed of the system, but it's possible that a portion of the Advisory (most likely along and south of I-94 and east of the Missouri) may need to be upgraded to a warning. There is a secondary wave that lifts from eastern MT into western ND this afternoon, bringing some light snow o the northwest and possibly the north central portion of the state. Temperatures remain cold today with highs around zero north to the teens far southwest. Any lingering light snow should taper off early this evening with overnight lows tonight around zero southwest, to 10 to 15 below zero along the Canadian border. .LONG TERM...(Sunday through Friday) Issued at 329 AM CST Sat Dec 25 2021 A second round of snow Sunday through Monday and continued very cold temperatures highlight the long term forecast period. After a quick break Christmas night, another wave rotates through the mean western trough and across the Northern Plains Sunday night through Monday. A broad area of warm advection and isentropic ascent will develop as early as Sunday morning over southwest ND and spread north and east through the day, with the mid level shortwave lifting through Sunday afternoon/evening, and perhaps a trailing mid-level wave moving through late Sunday night. The potential for banded precipitation does not look as high with this system, but it will be a more dynamic wave, with the potential for some higher snowfall rates given that at least a portion of the time the entire column from the surface to around 700mb will be within the DGZ. Deterministic and ensemble guidance indicate the higher probabilities for Warning criteria snowfall will be over eastern ND. However, there is enough of a signal for heavier snowfall rates back into central ND to include eastern portions of the CWA in a Winter Storm Watch for Sunday into Monday. Winds with this system will be stronger than Today's with a brisk easterly flow Sunday transitioning to a Northwest flow Sunday night onto Monday producing some area of mainly low-impact blowing and drifting snow. The snow we receive today will also be available to blow around. the strongest winds appear to be over the western portion of the state Monday, which is likely the area to see the least amount of snow. But with the snow today, and the impacts from dangerous wind chills, which we haven't even covered yet, will issue a SPS for the rest of the CWA that is not within the Winter Storm Watch. The northerly winds behind the exiting system Monday will usher in the bitterly cold Arctic air that will remain over the forecast area through much of next week. Expect to be sick of Wind Chill Advisories and possible warnings by New Years! There is another wave that moves through the area during the Monday night-Tuesday timeframe that will bring another round of snow to the area. At this time it looks like southern and eastern portions of the forecast area will be favored for light snowfall amounts with this system. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Sunday afternoon) Issued at 1247 PM CST Sat Dec 25 2021 Light snow will continue to diminish from the southwest to northeast through the rest of the afternoon. Brief IFR visibilities will be possible under any heavier areas of snow, but most will remain in MVFR categories. MVFR ceilings are likely to persist across much of western and central North Dakota through the period, possibly lifting briefly to VFR categories tonight ahead of the next system that will approach from the southwest on Sunday. This system will bring more MVFR and IFR ceilings towards the end of the period as well as some gustier winds. && .BIS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
