What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this winter storm watch 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 watch went out at Dec 25, 12:16 AM CST, 3 hours 7 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Dec 25, 12:16 AM CST, 3 hours 7 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Bismarck ND 1216 AM CST Sat Dec 25 2021 .UPDATE... Issued at 1212 AM CST Sat Dec 25 2021 Previous update increased pops based on webcams and radar and this still looks good. After a quick look at some of the models, it looks like maybe a shift farther south, especially compared to last night at this time. Updated pops through midday based on a blend of recent guidance. This does not change any thinking as far as the advisory is concerned, that looks good. Will update text products shortly. UPDATE Issued at 902 PM CST Fri Dec 24 2021 Upon further consideration with a continued increase in snow intensity on webcams and radar, as well as a reduction of visibility at nearby observation sites, decided to start the Winter Weather Advisory early/now for southwestern North dakota. UPDATE Issued at 809 PM CST Fri Dec 24 2021 Returns on the Bowman radar have been steadily increasing while becoming more organized over the past couple hours. Meanwhile, the NDDOT webcam near Marmarth has begun to show light snow falling along the margins of these increased returns. With that, added PoPs to southwestern ND a couple hours earlier and increased PoPs over the next few hours. As expected, temperatures have begun to tank, especially over the northern half of the forecast area. Below zero readings are already being had in portions of northern North Dakota. UPDATE Issued at 558 PM CST Fri Dec 24 2021 Calm winds and mostly clear skies are present north and east river. However, a deck of low/mid clouds persists over southwestern North Dakota. Increasing cloudiness is to be expected for the rest of the area through the overnight hours as the winter storm system nudges into the region tonight. Presently, light snow is being observed over portions of southeastern Montana with light returns (not reaching the ground) being observed via the Bowman radar over southwestern North Dakota. Light snow should begin to creep into southwestern North Dakota over the next few hours. && .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Saturday) Issued at 254 PM CST Fri Dec 24 2021 The main concern for the short term period is accumulating snow across southwest and south central North Dakota tonight through Christmas Day. Very cold wind chills are also expected across northern North Dakota tonight through Christmas morning. A cold front that moved through the state earlier today has caused temperatures to remain nearly steady or fall since early this morning, with a blustery northwest wind and patchy blowing snow from the Devils Lake Basin into the northern James River Valley. Winds will gradually diminish through the evening as a surface ridge extending south and east of high pressure over Alberta reaches into North Dakota. This could allow temperatures to plummet across northern North Dakota overnight, where cloud cover will not be as extensive as farther south. Wind chills could approach 30 below zero, which has prompted the issuance of a Wind Chill Advisory for areas along and north of Highway 2, lasting from this evening through Christmas morning. A shortwave trough will get catapulted out of the base of an upper low off the Pacific Northwest coast this evening and quickly reach the Northern Plains by midday Christmas. Downstream forcing from isentropic ascent, mid level frontogenesis, and low level warm air advection will commence over southwest North Dakota late tonight, but precipitation onset may be delayed until stronger support from aloft arrives early Christmas morning, including strong mid level DCVA/PVA and Q-vector convergence. The strong warm air advection will also push mid level lapse rates into the 7 to 8 C/km range, setting the stage for a potential mesoscale banding event, oriented from west to east. As is the case with most banding events, confidence on the location of highest snow amounts is low to medium at best, even at this shorter time range. The forecast track of the synoptic scale features also carries some uncertainty, although 12Z guidance has shown some consolidation between Interstate 94 and the South Dakota border, which matches the run-to-run consistency of the ECMWF ensemble. Even though mesoscale dynamics will be in play, the synoptic scale forcing by itself, along with forecast snow ratios closer to the 15:1 to 20:1 range, should result in widespread accumulations around 3 to 5 inches across much of southwest and south central North Dakota, with slightly lower confidence on the western extent. A Winter Weather Advisory has been issued for areas along and south of Interstate 94 from late tonight through Christmas afternoon. HREF maximum snow accumulation suggests a localized high end potential of up to 8 inches should mesoscale banding materialize. Cold temperatures will prevail on Christmas Day, with highs ranging from around zero along the Canadian border to near 20 in far southwest North Dakota. Winds will be around 10 mph from the east to northeast. A continued agitated/cyclonic flow aloft could bring lighter snow to the rest of western and central North Dakota throughout the day. .LONG TERM...(Saturday night through Friday) Issued at 254 PM CST Fri Dec 24 2021 Highlights for the long term period include high probabilities for accumulating snow Sunday into Monday, lower probabilities for accumulating snow on Tuesday, and dangerously cold temperatures and wind chills focused on Tuesday night through Thursday morning. A potent shortwave is forecast to eject off the central Rockies on Sunday. A broad expanse of warm air advection and isentropic ascent will be induced over the Northern Plains as early as Sunday morning. Precipitation may develop this early, but more likely will be delayed until the stronger upper level support arrives by Sunday evening. Recent deterministic guidance has alleviated the concern of the potential loss of ice aloft, but some patchy freezing drizzle cannot be completely ruled out. The heaviest snow is favored Sunday night with the passage of the mid level vorticity maxima. The potential for mesoscale banding does not appear to be present at this time, but the strong dynamics in play along with a deep DGZ could produce several inches of snow, with increasing values likely from southwest to northeast. Breezy conditions may accompany this system, which could result in some low-impact blowing and drifting snow. Slightly warmer, but still below average temperatures are expected on Sunday. Bitterly cold Arctic air will be dragged into western North Dakota on the backside of the departing trough. This will mark the beginning of a prolonged period of very cold temperatures and dangerous wind chills that is expected to last through Thursday morning. There are some indications in long range ensembles that the cold may not be quite as intense as previously thought, which makes sense given another chance of accumulating snow from a quick moving shortwave on Tuesday. Confidence is also increasing that the Arctic air may depart at least the southern half of the region on Thursday. Prior to that though, guidance remains centered on Tuesday night through Wednesday night as the coldest period of time as the heart of the Arctic high pressure crosses the Northern Plains. Highs below zero are likely on Wednesday, any may struggle to climb above 10 below across the north. Overnight lows may approach 30 below Tuesday and Wednesday night. Minimum wind chills from Tuesday night through Thursday morning are forecast to approach life threatening values of 50 below in northwest North Dakota, with widespread 30s and 40s below elsewhere. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Saturday night) Issued at 1212 AM CST Sat Dec 25 2021 All sites begin with VFR ceilings and visibilities before an ongoing winter weather system works further north and east through the night. This system will bring moderate snowfall to the southern TAF sites with lesser amounts further north. As the system moves in, a reduction to MVFR ceilings is expected at all TAF sites, as well as IFR/LIFR visibilities while snow is falling. Easterly winds will be light, thus blowing snow won't be an issue. && .BIS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... Winter Weather Advisory until noon CST /11 AM MST/ today for NDZ020-033-034-040>045.
