What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this wind chill 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 wind chill warning went out at Jan 18, 11:34 PM CST, 2 hours 53 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jan 18, 11:34 PM CST, 2 hours 53 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Bismarck ND 1134 PM CST Tue Jan 18 2022 .UPDATE... Issued at 1134 PM CST Tue Jan 18 2022 No major changes with this update. Despite some areas of blowing snow and reduced visibility after midnight across the James River Valley, the Winter Weather Advisory will be allowed to expire at midnight as gradually improving conditions over the next few hours are expected. UPDATE Issued at 911 PM CST Tue Jan 18 2022 For late evening update main change was to extend the winter weather advisory until midnight over the James River Valley. Over this area, sustained winds continue to blow in the lower 30s with gusts into the 40s, resulting in continued visibility restrictions due to blowing snow. With that said, the trend for the wind should continue downward, so expect the blowing snow to ease up by midnight. Wind/winter weather headlines were allowed to expire elsewhere as winds have gradually eased up some, so now the frigid wind chills are the main concern. UPDATE Issued at 608 PM CST Tue Jan 18 2022 Winds have diminished enough to allow wind advisory to expire over many western counties. With that said, windy conditions do continue, though a very gradual easing of the winds will continue. Remainder of forecast which was well discussed earlier remains on track, with visibility continuing to be rather variable but still lousy in areas under the winter weather advisory. && .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Wednesday) Issued at 254 PM CST Tue Jan 18 2022 Strong winds and blowing snow impacts into this evening, followed by dangerous wind chills tonight and Wednesday highlight the short term forecast. As of 20 UTC, the surface pressure rise maxima in the wake of the Arctic cold front is centered over the Red River valley, and will continue shifting away from the area. Thus, the isallobaric wind component which was the primary driver of the highest winds today will continue to diminish this evening. However, we expect gusts mainly in the 35 to 45 kt range to continue area-wide into the 00 to 03 UTC time range thanks to continued cold air advection and a well-mixed boundary layer containing winds on that order. The main impact through the day has been blowing snow in northern and parts of central ND, especially from Burke County southeast to Minot and into the Harvey, Carrington, and Jamestown areas. Satellite shows well-defined blowing snow plumes embedded in Horizontal Convective Rolls (HCRs), which have been becoming somewhat more widespread in that corridor as temperatures fall to 0 F or below, increasing the ability for snow to be lofted, especially in areas where the heavy snow fell late last week and strong winds today eroded any crust. ASOS/AWOS visibilities have been in the 1/2SM to 1/4SM range over much of that corridor today, but web camera images have suggested that the lowest visibilities are not especially widespread, which has resulted in impacts not quite sufficient for an upgrade to a Blizzard Warning. After much consideration and collaboration, we have decided to continue the Winter Weather Advisory and messaging near-blizzard conditions through this evening, with the idea that the lowest visibilities are not spatially (or in some cases not temporally) sufficient for the upgrade to a Blizzard Warning. We will however continue to monitor the situation, especially since satellite trends do suggest some increase in HCRs and related blowing snow plumes recently, perhaps as the boundary layer depth shrinks a bit. Interestingly, those satellite images also suggest blowing snow is being transported as far south as Burleigh County, where the pre-existing snowpack on the ground is indeed sufficiently crusted to not be broken even with the winds today. We expect winds to ever-so-slowly diminish this evening, but the boundary layer is expected to remain well-mixed in the cold air advection regime, and the upstream surface high is only slowly expected to reach southern Saskatchewan by 12 UTC. The surface pressure gradient will also accordingly maintain breezy winds tonight over all of western and central ND, and over central ND on Wednesday. Cold air advection is also expected to drive lows tonight mainly in the -10 to -20 F range, and highs Wednesday a few degrees either side of zero F. Combined with the wind, wind chills will be hazardous, so we have posted a Wind Chill Advisory beginning at 03 UTC tonight (when the Winter Weather and Wind Advisories are set to end). We continued the Wind Chill Advisory over all but southwestern ND through Thursday morning since we expect the wind chills to remain dangerous through that period. Wind chills recover enough over southwestern ND to allow the advisory there to be in effect only through 18 UTC Wednesday at this juncture. .LONG TERM...(Wednesday night through Tuesday) Issued at 254 PM CST Tue Jan 18 2022 Very cold air will linger across the area Wednesday night and Thursday morning as the surface high settles across the region. NBM-based lows Wednesday night and Thursday morning mainly range from -15 to -25 F over northwestern and central ND, where wind chills will remain dangerously low and may even necessitate an upgrade to a Wind Chill Warning at some point. Lows will still be below zero in southwestern ND, too, even though weak warm air advection may begin there by Thursday morning. In the big picture, the long term period will be dominated by north-northwest flow aloft between mean ridging off the west coast and a trough from eastern Canada into the Great Lakes region. The amplification of both those features, and embedded waves within the fast-moving north-northwest flow aloft, lends considerable uncertainty in the day-to-day sensible weather over western and central ND. As a result, spread in the 25th to 75th percentiles of high temperatures from NBM membership is on the order of 20+ F on many days, with potential outcomes ranging from highs around 5 F to 35 F. It does appear one area of relative confidence is for a warmer day on Friday in association with a fast-moving shortwave trough which may also generate light precipitation, likely mostly in the form of snow. Thereafter, the aforementioned uncertainty grows beginning Saturday as the baroclinic zone is likely to be oriented northwest-southeast somewhere across the Northern Plains. That boundary may also serve as the focus for light snowfall when shortwave troughs cross the region, which results in several chances of light snowfall in the forecast into early next week. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Wednesday night) Issued at 1134 PM CST Tue Jan 18 2022 MVFR to IFR conditions remain at KMOT and KJMS to begin the 06Z TAF period with strong winds bringing blowing snow. Gradual improvement to VFR conditions is expected overnight with widespread VFR conditions across western and central North Dakota for Wednesday, though patchy blowing snow may continue over northwest into central North Dakota with breezy northwest winds. && .BIS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
