What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this wind 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 advisory went out at Apr 4, 11:19 PM MDT, 3 hours 29 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 4, 11:19 PM MDT, 3 hours 29 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Bismarck ND 1219 AM CDT Tue Apr 5 2022 .UPDATE... Issued at 1216 AM CDT Tue Apr 5 2022 Forecast remains on track. Southeast flow across the forecast area will begin to turn west to northwest from west to east over western ND through 12 UTC with mainly isolated showers. UPDATE Issued at 1158 PM CDT Mon Apr 4 2022 No changes, forecast remains on track. UPDATE Issued at 1002 PM CDT Mon Apr 4 2022 Headline changes have been made for this update. First, the 4 southwest counties of North Dakota have been upgraded to a High Wind Warning for Tuesday morning through Wednesday night. Momentum transfer analysis continues to support ~50 kt gusts being mixed down to the surface. Additionally, there are increasing probabilities for precipitation associated with strong mid level cyclonic flow over southwest North Dakota Tuesday afternoon, which could further enhance surface winds. Because there is less certainty on afternoon precipitation and the core of the low level jet reaching Grant and Sioux Counties, the High Wind Watch remains in place for Tuesday. A High Wind Watch has also been issued for much of south central North Dakota for Wednesday, including I-94 counties from Morton to Stutsman and areas south to the SD border. This threat is driven more by an intense pressure gradient and increasing low level mass response to the stacked occluding low forecast over Minnesota. The ECMWF Extreme Forecast Index continues to suggest an anomalous wind event on Wednesday, and presents an even stronger signal for Thursday from south central into eastern North Dakota. The watch was not extended through Thursday due to naturally decreasing forecast confidence with time. UPDATE Issued at 725 PM CDT Mon Apr 4 2022 The near-term forecast remains in good shape. A few light rain showers are beginning to develop from near Tioga to Watford City. && .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Tuesday) Issued at 319 CDT Mon Apr 4 2022 The short term forecast is highlighted by strong winds and the chance for rain and possibly snow. This afternoon, the synoptic pattern was characterized by zonal flow across the Northern Plains, with a compact closed low upstream off the coast of British Columbia. At the surface, broad high pressure was centered over eastern South Dakota and Nebraska, with a modest pressure gradient between the high and a surface trough over western Montana. This pressure gradient, along with daytime mixing, is leading to breezy southerly winds across the forecast area, warming temperatures into the 40s east and 50s west. As the surface trough becomes a more distinguished surface low and drifts east this evening, the chance for precipitation will start in western North Dakota and expand through the forecast area overnight. Precipitation is expected to stay primarily rain, except for in the north central where there could be a rain-snow mix or a transition to all snow in the early morning hours. Overall, QPF amounts with this initial round of precipitation is expected to be light overall, generally under 0.10". For most locations, there will be a lull in precipitation during the day Tuesday. The aforementioned closed low is expected to quickly eject off the Canadian Rockies and drop southeast through the region. At the same time, a surface low that is forecast to be almost stacked with the upper low will move out of southern Saskatchewan and into western North Dakota, eventually merging with the initial surface low as the whole system moves into the eastern Dakotas and Minnesota. The question then becomes how much will precpitation linger in our eastern counties during the day Tuesday with the exit of the initial low, and whether it will be rain or snow, before higher chances for precipitation begin Tuesday evening from the second low and attendant cold front. With the initial surface low, winds will transition to northwesterly overnight tonight and through Tuesday morning, becoming strong due to pressure rises and cold air advection with the low. The High Wind Watch is still in effect for southwest North Dakota Tuesday morning through late evening, and we did go ahead and add in Grant and Sioux Counties with this forecast update. Additional wind headlines will be needed for the remainder of the area. .LONG TERM...(Tuesday night through Monday) Issued at 319 PM CDT Mon Apr 4 2022 Strong winds and widespread rain and snow on Wednesday highlight the extended forecast, before we see warmer and drier conditions for the end of the week. The surface and upper low will become stacked and deepen Tuesday night through Wednesday morning, wrapping up over northern Minnesota. Winds are expected to be strongest on Wednesday from the tight pressure gradient, with sustained northwest winds of 30 to 40 mph for much of the south and central. Coupled with these strong winds will be widespread rain and snow coming from both the cold front and wrap-around precipitation on the northwest side of the stacked low. The main source of uncertainty is in the transition between precipitation types Tuesday night through Wednesday. The current forecast has rain transitioning to snow from northwest to southeast through the night Tuesday, before eventually switching back to rain Wednesday afternoon as temperatures warm into the lower 40s. However, there is uncertainty on when/if all locations will switch back to rain or if precipitation will stay snow, as diabatic cooling could keep temperatures cooler than guidance suggests. We will have to keep an eye on this, as that could lead to higher snow amounts, especially in the Turtle Mountains through the James River Valley. Current forecast has a general 1 to 3 inches in the James River Valley and the southwest, with lesser amounts in a northwest- southeast swath following the Missouri River. Any shift west in the center of the low or the low slowing down could bring higher QPF amounts to our far eastern tier of counties, with forecast QPF amounts of 0.75"-1.00" to our east in the Red River Valley area. However, ensemble guidance has been relatively consistent in highlighting the north central and southwest as having the highest probabilities of 24-hour QPF greater than 0.1", and although those probabilities drop off quickly when increasing the amount to 0.5", there is still a 10-20% chance of 24-hour QPF of at least 0.5" in the Turtle Mountains area. Precipitation will likely linger in the James River Valley on Thursday morning as the low spins off over the Great Lakes region, with another day of strong northwest winds before the surface pressure gradient finally relaxes. In response to the closed low and deep trough, upstream ridging will begin to build over the western CONUS toward the end of the week. As this upper ridge slowly drifts east, expect a warmup and drier conditions for the end of the week, with highs starting in the upper 30s to lower 40s on Thursday, and peaking on Saturday in the mid 50s to mid 60s. WPC cluster analysis shows ensembles are in relatively good agreement on the general upper air pattern to start next week, with the upper ridge flattening as a trough moves down from across the Pacific Northwest. The latest NBM advertises a cooling trend for much of next week starting Sunday with low chance, widespread PoPs Sunday and Monday. It does appear the cooler and active pattern will be continuing, with CIPS extended analogs favoring above average precipitation for much of next week, and CPC highlighting a moderate chance for much below normal temperatures across the western half of the state April 12-14. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Tuesday night) Issued at 1216 AM CDT Tue Apr 5 2022 VFR conditions are expected overnight. MVFR to IFR ceilings develop over central and into eastern ND on Tuesday and then start to become widespread across all of western and central ND after 00 UTC Wednesday. A strong low pressure system will begin to impact the region overnight and continue through the remainder of the 06Z TAF period. Precipitation chances will be hit and miss through much of the 06Z TAF period with uncertainties to high for anything more than a VCSH until late in the forecast period. More predominant precipitation chances appear late in the forecast period and beyond. Southeast winds will weaken, shift to the west-northwest, and reintensify through this morning. Strong west-northwest winds are expected this afternoon, with sustained speeds around 20-30 kts and gusts as high as 40 kts. && .BIS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
