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 Grand Forks, ND wrote its last area forecast discussion before this blizzard warning went out at Dec 22, 9:55 AM CST, 1 hour 49 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Dec 22, 9:55 AM CST, 1 hour 49 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Grand Forks ND
955 AM CST Thu Dec 22 2022
.UPDATE...
Issued at 950 AM CST Thu Dec 22 2022
Forecast remains on track. Still expecting flurries across the
area today with continued cold temperatures and wind chill
headlines.
UPDATE Issued at 641 AM CST Thu Dec 22 2022
The main snow has passesd and skies cloud wise seem to be clearing
out but we also have extensive moisture conditions enough for thin
clouds and flurries/crystals. I went flurries area wide today for
this. No other changes attm as wind chills in the -40 and lower
range continue in far west.
&&
.SHORT TERM...(Today through Friday)
Issued at 327 AM CST Thu Dec 22 2022
The main snow area is moved out but still have some very light
snow/crystals out there. Temperatures are running colder than NBM
would indicate across our southwest fcst area and wind chills are
near 50 below Devils Lake, Cando, Valley City areas due to this.
Going with a trend of a bit colder than NBM temps in that area
shows that we will see more frequent times of 40s below wind
chills than we thought. Thus since it may remain colder than
guidance into Friday night too went ahead and did a wind chill
warning for our far west (Cando-DVL to Valley City/Forman) thru
the period of cold (ending 18z Sat). For the rest of the area, as
your go northeast temps are not as cold and seems safe to keep the
valley into MN in advisory wind chill range thru 18z Sat as well.
Now the elephant in the room is blowing snow potential/severity.
That remains unclear and likely not going to really tell until the
winds ramp up later tonight and Friday. The past 2 days most areas
have had 2-4 inches and it is more needle compact crystals vs true
fluff. Thus less blowable that one would think. Forecast of -10F
and winds sustained 23kts Friday morning with no falling snow
keeps risk of 1/2SM blowing snow in the 50 percent range. If -10F
and winds are sustained 28kts (which seems high) then 100 pct chc
of 1/2SM vsby. If at 23kts and at -15F a bit higher chance (60
pct) for 1/2SM vsby but at 23kt sustained it never reaches the
likey zone for widespread 1/2SM. Soundings show a layer of mixing
up to around 900/890 mb late tonight/Friday. Max wind at top of
that layer 36 kts from NAM and 31 kts from GFS. Cold advection in
that layer though is weak and warmer air is aloft so not the most
ideal mixed layer for getting higher winds to the sfc. So will
continue for now to hold off on advisory or any warnings for
blowing snow until further assement can be done. No widespread
issues anticipated prior to 18z Thu so can wait.
.LONG TERM...(Friday night through Wednesday)
Issued at 327 AM CST Thu Dec 22 2022
The upper low will be moving over the Hudson bay area
during the time putting us on the front edge of the ridge. At this
time the Red River Valley would be slightly subject to the left
entrance region dynamics of the streak. Soundings suggest we may
have 30kts to mix down. However with weak Cold Air Advection and
this mainly being gradient driven the winds probably wont get
stronger than that. Another facet to accompany the winds will be the
wind chill temperatures. The increased winds could place wind chill
values near -40F again. Saturday into Sunday we remain on the front
side of the ridge but the gradient loosens up and the winds will be
very light. A 500mb shortwave moves over our region by early morning
possibly bringing a chance for more light snow. However, the low
level ridge axis is centered over the Red River Valley making Sunday
dry more likely than a snowy day. Monday temperatures will start to
climb out of the negatives and into the single digits. As the ridge
shifts east our temperatures will continue to rise to seasonal norms
Monday night into Tuesday. Wednesday looks to be our warmest day as
the upper ridge axis centers over the Red River Valley. The models
are hinting at a clipper system riding the US/Canadian Border but
the confidence is low as this is at the end of our forecast period
and theres a lot of variability in a system track with the models
this far out.
&&
.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Friday morning)
Issued at 641 AM CST Thu Dec 22 2022
AWOS/ASOS observations to be chaotic today I think due to presence
of areas of thin clouds and flurries/ice crystals. Vsbys reduced
at times. NW winds to hold thru the period 12-25 kts.
