Area forecast discussion, Jun 24, 5:30 PM CDT, 2 hours 55 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Bismarck ND 530 PM CDT Fri Jun 24 2022 .UPDATE... Issued at 516 PM CDT Fri Jun 24 2022 Severe thunderstorm watch continues for much of central and eastern ND. Outflow from a dying thunderstorm is currently moving through the Mandan and Bismarck local area. Currently, strong to severe storms were located from northern Burleigh and southeast Mclean counties eastward into Wells and Foster counties. Expect the main severe weather threat into the early evening to extend from these storms south to the South Dakota border. && .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Saturday) Issued at 230 PM CDT Fri Jun 24 2022 Severe weather expected through the evening, with cool and breezy conditions expected for Saturday. A boundary with strong instability and increasing shear has set up across central and eastern portions of the CWA. This will be the focus for severe weather through much of the evening. SPC has issued a Severe Thunderstorm Watch until 9 PM CDT to account for this potential. CAPE values are still high and shear is increasing as the front gets closer. Cap should also continue to erode with and advancing cold front. Hodographs are still pretty straight favoring large hail as the main threat. Strong winds are also possible with any storm as DCAPE is over 1000. The tornado threat is still there given all the remnant boundaries. Hodographs are little more favorable in the southeast, and will have to be monitored. Meanwhile areas behind the front, mainly the west and north central are likely out of the severe weather threat for today, but may still see a few showers and isolated thunderstorms. Lastly, training storms and overall slow movement of storms will bring a flash flooding threat through tonight. Severe weather threat should diminish later this evening. Tonight sees scattered showers, cooling temperatures into the 40s for some western areas, and switch to breezy northwest flow. Saturday is then your typical post front day. Breezy to windy northwest winds will be found for most areas. There is some low to medium confidence in advisory level winds across much of the area. With ongoing severe weather and only up to medium confidence, will hold off on any wind highlight for now. Otherwise perhaps a few post frontal showers are possible in the north and east on Saturday. Cool temperatures in the 60s and low 70s can also be expected. .LONG TERM...(Saturday night through Friday) Issued at 230 PM CDT Fri Jun 24 2022 After another cool and breezy day on Sunday, the upcoming week looks to see warm temperatures and a few chances for precipitation. Broad upper level trough will exit the area through the day Sunday. This will bring one more day of cooler than normal temperatures generally in the 70s, and breezy sub advisory level winds mainly in the central and east. A broad area of high pressure at the surface then looks to bring warming temperatures to the area Monday. Look for temperatures in the 80s as a result. There is a back door front that tries to push through the area Monday into Monday night that may bring a few scattered showers and thunderstorms across the north and east. Another surface high moves through the area on Tuesday, maintaining warm temperatures and generally dry conditions. Tuesday night through Wednesday, we switch to southwest flow aloft ahead of the next cold front. This will bring an increase in showers and thunderstorms, with more warm temperatures. Perhaps an isolated severe storm is possible during this mid week time period, although the CSU Machine Learning is only showing low probabilities at this time. Another cool and breezy post frontal pattern could then set up to end next week. This looks to be a mainly dry pattern, with temperatures cooling back into the 70s to lower 80s. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Saturday evening) Issued at 516 PM CDT Fri Jun 24 2022 Thunderstorms are expected over south central into eastern ND early this evening, including KJMS. Elsewhere showers and possibly a few thunderstorms are expected at the remaining TAF sites this evening. Northwest flow at all TAF sites to begin the 00Z TAF period, will spread into KJMS. Later tonight, showers and MVFR ceilings may develop and linger into Saturday morning.&& .BIS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
