What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this high wind 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 high wind warning went out at May 12, 9:44 AM MDT, 2 hours 27 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 12, 9:44 AM MDT, 2 hours 27 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Bismarck ND
1044 AM CDT Thu May 12 2022

.UPDATE...
Issued at 1026 AM CDT Thu May 12 2022

Majority of showers and thunderstorms from this morning have
lifted north and east of the area, but did leave in its wake a few
streaks of heavier rainfall of over two inches per radar analysis
and rain gauge reports, one from around Strasburg up towards
Streeter, and another from around Robinson into far western Foster
County. Now, in the wake of the departing system there was a
brief period of clearing which was quickly filled in by low cloud
cover, thanks to the abundant moisture in place.

Later on this afternoon is when the second round of showers and
storms develop. Still, the focus for the strongest convection
continues to be over the James River Valley with impressive shear
is in place and the strongest instability is noted.

A special 19Z sounding will be launched at Bismarck this
afternoon.

UPDATE Issued at 632 AM CDT Thu May 12 2022

Showers and thunderstorms continue to lift north and east through
the forecast area this morning. At this time it looks like the
severe weather threat this morning will be limited to the far
southern James River Valley. A line of storms over western Dickey
will track across the county in the next hour or so. Earlier
strong 0-3km shear vectors over the south central have weakened,
but will need to monitor for a northeastward bowing segment.
Otherwise expect sub-severe gusty winds and maybe a little small
hail. Elsewhere showers with embedded elevated storms are expected
to remain below severe levels.

We are getting some strong wake low type winds developing on the
back side of the convection. We're gusting over 45 mph currently
at the Bismarck Airport, and had a gust to 60 knots near Temvik in
Emmons county. This is non-thunderstorm related, and hopefully
short in duration. We could issue a SPS for a period of strong
winds. Will continue to monitor.

The attention then turns to this afternoon with a second, and
potentially more significant severe event. Here, there are no
changes from the previous discussion.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight)
Issued at 144 AM CDT Thu May 12 2022

Convection continues to increase in coverage across central South
Dakota early this morning, heading toward our southern Border. The
main threat for storms this morning appears to be focused on the
south central into the James River Valley. Strong deep layer shear
remains situated over the forecast area with an area of MUCAPE of
1000-2000 J/KG over northern South Dakota and into far southern
North Dakota. Strong warm advection lifting northward through
South Dakota, combined with increased forcing from an upper level
trough tracking from the Great Basin into the central Rockies is
producing the aforementioned convection over South Dakota. With
the elevated threat with the elevated nature of these storms over
the stable boundary layer, will be large hail. However an
occasional strong wind gust can not be ruled out with the
strongest downdrafts. A gust to 76 mph was measured earlier in
Meade County SD. The main question will be if these storms can
maintain their intensity as they lift into a more unfavorable
environment the farther north you go. Cams continue to advertise
convection making it to near the border but diverge a bit
thereafter. Most do though bring some stronger convection to the
far south central, and into the southern James River Valley.

This activity quickly pushes out of the forecast area by mid
morning and we will probably have a break in shower activity until
the afternoon. Then this afternoon as the upper level low lifts
into the Northern High Plains, we think widespread shower activity
will develop over the western half of the forecast area, and into
eastern Montana. Isolated to scattered embedded thunder will be
possible, even with daytime highs in the 50s, due to the forcing
out the approaching upper low.

The main threat for severe weather this afternoon will be over the
eastern CWA, mainly along and east of the Highway 83 corridor. At
this time, it appears most of this area will continue to see the
potential for elevated supercells producing up to half dollar size
hail and 60 mph winds. This is due to the very strong 0-6 KM Shear
that remains over the forecast area, and MUCAPE that expands
northward through the afternoon and evening hours.

The SPC enhanced risk remains situated over the far southern James
River Valley, and eastward into the southern Red River Valley.
This area will be the most likely area for surface based
convection within an area of strong surface based CAPE and low
level helicity. Here all forms of severe weather are on the table,
including tornadoes. However, the SPC slight risk does extend as
far west as Linton to Carrington. This are might not have the
strong SBCAPE as points farther east, but it's nothing to sneeze
at. In addition, the latest RAP lifts the surface low north into
Dickey county around 00 UTC with a surface trough, all the way
back west of the Missouri River. Therefore, even though the
enhanced risk only clips our far southeast CWA, given the amount
of CAPE/SHEAR/Forcing for ascent east of the Missouri this
afternoon and early evening, all should continue to monitor this
developing situation closely. The strongest of the convection
should be lifting out of the area by mid evening. Then the next
thing to deal with will be the winds.

.LONG TERM...(Friday through Wednesday)
Issued at 144 AM CDT Thu May 12 2022

Strong winds on Friday will be the main forecast issue in the
long term period.

Expect we will need wind highlights on the day shift today.
NAM/GFS continue to indicate either high end advisory or High Wind
Warning respectively on Friday beneath the upper low as it lifts
north. The strongest winds will develop in the southwest first
late Thursday night and lift north and east through the day
Friday. The northwest will also be seeing some lingering shower
activity on Friday.

We then quiet down and dry out through the weekend and early next
week, with small rain chances appearing again by the end of the
long term period.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Friday morning)
Issued at 632 AM CDT Thu May 12 2022

Widespread showers and thunderstorms will impact all Taf sites
through the 06Z TAF period.

VFR to begin the 06Z TAF period, except for some MVFR stratus at
KJMS. However, through the overnight hours the stratus is forecast
to increase in coverage and lower across the southern TAF Sites.
Sometime around 12 UTC a band of showers and thunderstorms is
forecast to approach the southern TAF sites. Thereafter IFR to
possibly LIFR stratus and fog and scattered to numerous showers
and thunderstorms are expected across the area through the
remainder of the TAF period. Northeast winds to begin the TAF
period. Winds will increase later in the period and shift
southerly over the southern TAF sites late in the TAF period.
