What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm 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 severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jul 23, 12:10 AM CDT, 33 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 23, 12:10 AM CDT, 33 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Grand Forks ND
1210 AM CDT Sat Jul 23 2022

.UPDATE...
Issued at 1210 PM CDT Fri Jul 22 2022

Storms with 60-80 mph winds continue to push into eastern ND, and
should move into the northern RRV in the next few hours. Think the
storms will continue to be severe for a bit longer, but as they
push further into MN that there should be some weakening as the
storms start to pull in slightly more dry and stable air. There
will be additional thunderstorm development over south central ND
as the low level jet cranks up towards morning, and that activity
will clip our southern counties as we head into Saturday.

UPDATE Issued at 1001 PM CDT Fri Jul 22 2022

Strong to severe convection knocking on the door of our western
counties, and severe thunderstorm watch was just issued. There
will be continued threat for severe with MU CAPE up to 3000 J/kg
and more than enough shear. Greatest threats will be hail up to
ping pong ball sized and winds up to 70 mph possible.

UPDATE Issued at 627 PM CDT Fri Jul 22 2022

No major changes to this forecast update. Skies remain clear
across most of the area with mostly light winds outside of the
eastern fringes of the CWA. Obviously concern will be shifting
towards the initiating convection in Saskatchewan (see MCD from
SPC).

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Saturday night)
Issued at 218 PM CDT Fri Jul 22 2022

Convective chances later tonight through Saturday morning are the
main forecast challenge, as they would bring the most potential
impacts to the FA.

No activity is expected through the late afternoon and early
evening. By mid to late evening (post 9 pm), the low level jet and
850mb warm advection begin to increase, focused into northwest
and north central North Dakota. A short wave should also be moving
into this region, helping to initiate thunderstorms to the west of
this FA. This activity would then continue to push east-southeast
into this FA in the mid to late evening. A timing estimate would
be 9 to 10 pm around Devils Lake, and 11 pm to midnight in the
northern Red River Valley. The HREF UH tracks show some longer
sustained updrafts possible from these storms as they track into
the Devils Lake region, and possibly the northern valley. So a few
strong to severe mid to late evening storms remain possible.

By 4-5 am early Saturday morning, the low level jet and warm
advection become stronger, and this time focus into the ND/SD
border region south of Bismarck. The CAMs develop a new area of
convection there, and track it east-southeast along the ND/SD
border and adjacent areas of west central MN into early Saturday
morning. Again, the HREF shows some longer UH tracks with this
area, but more so into northeast SD. There may be a lull in
activity during the late morning into early afternoon. Clearing
skies and plenty of residual moisture in place should result in
building afternoon CAPE over the FA, with 30-35 knots of 0-6km
effective shear. The potential surface features are a little
harder to place, but there could still be a lingering low and
front. CAMs show isolated shower/storm development in the late
afternoon and possibly early evening. Again, the HREF UH tracks
show a few longer tracks, especially across northwest MN. Most of
this activity should diminish in the early evening, with loss of
heating (and no low level jet).

.LONG TERM...(Sunday through Friday)
Issued at 218 PM CDT Fri Jul 22 2022

Between Sunday through Friday, the probability for widespread
hazardous weather is currently low, less than 10%. Overall synoptic
features that are likely to drive sensible weather across our region
include strong and amplified upper ridging over the northeast
Pacific, transient but redeveloping upper troughing near the Hudson
Bay, and an persistent weak but broad anticyclone in the southern
tier of the CONUS. This type of pattern will promote generally zonal
to northwesterly flow aloft over our region as the jet stream is
expected to generally be positioned lee of the NE Pacific upper
ridge and along the southern flanks of the Hudson Bay troughing.
Augmentation of the jet is likely dependent upon amplitude and
position of the Hudson Bay troughing.

There are two notable waves being progged by ensembles assoc with
the Hudson Bay troughing. The first is already east of the area by
Sunday (and is responsible for tonight-Saturday's convection). This
should help scour away overall moisture content while allowing
cooler than average temps into the area. General expectation is for
daytime temps into the 70s with lows in the 50s, perhaps flirting
with upper 40s in typically cold spots like NW MN. Factors like sfc
dew pts and currently seasonal peak ET lower confidence in overnight
lows. The next notable wave comes around the late Monday - Tuesday
timeframe. There is a window of return low level flow ahead of this
wave to aid in some moisture/instability return, although the window
is rather short. This along with ET effects lowers confidence is not
high how much moisture/instability can recharge into the area ahead
of this notable wave, and will be the main factor in determining
intensity and coverage of convection given high confidence in
available shear as the strong wave moves near the region. However,
this should be the next appreciable chance for convection given the
magnitude of forcing expected with this wave. Even the ensemble
cluster with least amplitude brings in notable forcing for ascent.
Behind this wave, a short period of cooler than average temps are
expected followed by general increase in temps towards seasonably
average as some of the NE Pacific ridge attempts to push east into
the western continent.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Saturday night)
Issued at 1210 PM CDT Fri Jul 22 2022

Convection moving into northeastern ND will continue eastward into
northwestern MN during the next few hours. VCTS at most sites,
with some prevailing thunderstorms at least at the northern sites.
This will be the first round from 06-09Z, with additional showers
and thunderstorms moving in towards 12Z as another round gets
going to our west. Mostly VFR conditions with this activity, but
there will be some periodic MVFR when vis and ceilings go down
briefly with heavy rain. All sites should be VFR by morning,
although there will be some continued VCSH and VCTS. Winds will
be variable with thunderstorms, then begin to shift around from
the east to north and northwest as low pressure moves across the
area.
