What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this blizzard warning 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 blizzard warning went out at Apr 21, 11:50 AM MDT, 1 hour 49 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 21, 11:50 AM MDT, 1 hour 49 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Bismarck ND
1250 PM CDT Thu Apr 21 2022

.UPDATE...
Issued at 1241 PM CDT Thu Apr 21 2022

Updated PoPs for the short term period. Still expect a mix of
rain (possibly freezing in the north), thunderstorms (south), and
snow (north) this evening through tonight. Low level stratus
continues breaking apart over north central parts of the state.
However, overcast upper mid to high clouds continue streaming
into southwestern North Dakota and expanding across the area.

UPDATE Issued at 904 AM CDT Thu Apr 21 2022

Main update was the reduction of sky cover through early afternoon.
As high pressure passes through the state this morning, expect
low level stratus to continue falling apart through the early
afternoon. Simultaneously, upper mid to high clouds will stream in
from the west.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight)
Issued at 544 AM CDT Thu Apr 21 2022

The main concern for the short term period is chances for mixed
precipitation across northwest and north central North Dakota
tonight. A few thunderstorms are also possible across southwest and
south central North Dakota tonight, but severe weather is not
expected.

Low stratus associated with a departing low pressure system remains
much more widespread this morning than guidance suggested. Recent
iterations of the RAP seem to have caught on to this trend, at least
to some extent, and project the stratus to slowly erode by early
afternoon. Otherwise, looking at a fairly quiet day with deep layer
ridging passing through the region. Southeasterly surface winds will
begin to increase over southwest North Dakota this afternoon
following the departure of the surface ridge. If the current cloud
cover does dissipate in time for peak heating, the current high
temperature forecast of 30s and 40s might be too low, as was seen
yesterday. However, diurnal heating could also be tempered by
increasing mid to high clouds.

Strong synoptic and mesoscale forcing in response to a deepening
longwave trough over the western CONUS will commence over the region
this evening into tonight. Guidance continues to depict several
bands or waves of precipitation developing over western and central
North Dakota this evening into tonight, propagating northeastward
through Friday morning. The thermal profile across southwest and
south central North Dakota will be warm enough to support all rain
as a precipitation type, and these areas could actually see a few
thunderstorms as the strong warm air and moisture advection yield a
few hundred J/kg of elevated CAPE in the presence of very steep mid
level lapse rates. Farther north, the main concern will be
precipitation types. All types are possible, but deterministic
output and NBM probabilities suggest snow and freezing rain will be
the dominant types. Ice accumulations of a few hundredths of an inch
and snow accumulations from a dusting to an inch or 2 are possible.
At this time, only minor impacts are expected as surface
temperatures are forecast to remain very close to freezing and
should begin rising shortly after sunrise Friday morning.

.LONG TERM...(Friday through Wednesday)
Issued at 544 AM CDT Thu Apr 21 2022

A strong low pressure system remains on track to impact the region
Friday through Sunday. No major shifts in 00 UTC global ensemble
data were noted. Some minor adjustments with this forecast package
include a slight increase in QPF, a greater risk of freezing rain
for some areas, and an increased probability in strong to severe
thunderstorms from south central North Dakota into the James River
Valley late Friday afternoon through Friday night.

After the initial bands of mixed precipitation depart northern North
Dakota Friday morning, most of what falls for the remainder of the
day will likely be more in the form of drizzle. The highly saturated
low level air mass could also produce areas of dense fog.

Widespread heavier precipitation is forecast to develop Friday
evening as the center of the low approaches from the south. There
are two main concerns for the Friday evening through Friday night
time period. The first is the potential for strong to severe
thunderstorms across south central North Dakota into the James River
Valley. An elevated mixed layer is forecast to yield CAPE at least
as high as 1000 J/kg with only marginal CIN on the periphery of 2-7
km bulk shear increasing from 30 to 60 kts. South central North
Dakota appears to have the greatest potential for CAPE/shear
overlap, and this is also where some CAMs are beginning to paint UH
tracks. Due to a highly stable boundary layer residing underneath
the EML, large hail is the main expected hazard. Periods of heavy
rain falling on top of melting snow could also cause some minor
water issues.

The other concern for Friday evening and overnight is precipitation
types. The bottom line up front is that recent guidance is trending
up in freezing rain probabilities due to warmer temperatures aloft
over near to sub-freezing surface temperatures across higher terrain
areas in Dunn, Mountrail, Burke, Ward, and Renville Counties.
Surface air and ground temperatures will be very sensitive to the
icing potential, which is the reason why higher elevations carry a
higher probability of significant ice accumulations. There is enough
confidence in this trend to increase our messaging on the freezing
rain potential. While great uncertainty remains in specific ice
accumulations, a localized, short-duration ice storm now appears to
be a reasonable high-end outcome.

The rain/snow line, with a mixed type transition zone in between, is
forecast to enter far western North Dakota late Friday night and
slowly progress eastward through the day Saturday, reaching Minot
during the afternoon and Bismarck by early evening. The greatest
threat of freezing rain on Saturday is forecast to shift over the
Turtle Mountains, where surface air temperatures could be near to
slightly below freezing. While warmer ground temperatures during the
day could mitigate this threat, the risk of accumulating ice is
great enough to add Rolette County to the Winter Storm Watch. The
deformation zone will begin to lift north and east Saturday evening
through Sunday morning, changing precipitation over to snow and
bringing lighter accumulations to central parts of the state.

The ECMWF ensemble remains clustered slightly to the west of the
GEFS. This difference is reflected to a minor degree in snow
threshold probabilities, more notably across northern North Dakota
than southwest. The ECMWF ensemble has also shown a distinct
increase in both QPF and snow probabilities, and is now closer in
line with the GEFS. Our deterministic "most likely" snowfall
forecast for a wide swath of 6 to 12 inches matches well with the
WPC derived 50th percentile snowfall forecast, and most areas
generally along and west of a line from the southwest corner of the
state to Renville County maintain a 50 to 70 percent chance of at
least 12 inches. The current deterministic and probabilistic
snowfall forecast also prompted Hettinger County to be added to the
watch.

Strong winds are expected with this system, especially within the
deformation heavy snow band. While snow on the ground is not likely
to be efficiently blown around, the strong winds combined with the
heavy snow could worsen an already potentially dangerous travel
situation. At least near whiteout conditions appear possible, if not
likely where heavy snow occurs. Furthermore, if significant ice
accumulations do end up occurring, stronger winds in these areas
could greatly increase the level of impacts, which would already be
quite high It is worth emphasizing again though that confidence in
freezing rain is not nearly as high as it is in snow.

In summary, numerous hazards will bring high-impact weather to
western and central North Dakota this weekend. Confidence on winter
weather impacts across western and north central North Dakota is
high, with lower certainty in the severity of specific hazards.
