Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Grand Forks ND
935 PM CDT Sun Jun 19 2022

.UPDATE...
Issued at 935 PM CDT Sun Jun 19 2022

Storms have been firing southwest of Jamestown, but they have been
pulse storms (up and down). They have produced gusty winds and
could also be dropping some hail. This activity is moving
northeast and could affect the Devils Lake region in the next few
hours. Not sure it will stay strong to severe, but it could bring
some spotty rain if it holds together.

UPDATE Issued at 642 PM CDT Sun Jun 19 2022

As of early this evening, most sites within the Red River Valley
were holding around 100 degrees. The eastern and western portions
of the FA were in the mid 90s. South-southwest winds remained
windy, with dewpoints mainly in the mid to upper 60s. Temperatures
will begin to fall again this evening, and the winds will
decrease somewhat. However, heat indices for most areas will
remain above 75, so the Excessive Heat Warning and Heat Advisory
will continue overnight, and into Monday as well. There is
somewhat of a convergent boundary over north central South Dakota
and south central North Dakota, where some cloud cover and
showers/thunderstorms have been trying to form. However, 700mb
temperatures are very warm, therefore so far not much has
sustained itself. This will be the area to watch this evening. If
anything forms, it would track northeast and potentially affect
the Devils Lake region.

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Monday night)
Issued at 257 PM CDT Sun Jun 19 2022

* Hot and humid today through Monday
* Isolated severe thunderstorms possible this evening
* Scattered severe thunderstorms possible Monday evening

Hot, humid conditions prevail this afternoon through late Monday
with an H5 ridge directly over the forecast area. Southerly to
southwesterly winds continue to advect warm air into the area, along
with copious amounts of moisture as mixing ratios climb to near 17
g/Kg. Isolated thunderstorm activity is possible tonight ahead of an
approaching, but slow moving cold front. With MUCAPE upwards of 3000
J/Kg, strong to severe thunderstorms are possible, with wind and
hail being the primary risks.

Precipitable water will be upwards of 2 inches by midday Monday,
with dew points remaining in the 60s to low 70s. This will solidify
another humid day across the area, with instability building through
the afternoon to values of around 3500 to 4500 J/Kg of CAPE. The
most favorable deep layer shear is expected to remain to the west of
the highest instability, which will serve to limit the organization
potential of any thunderstorm activity. The axis of development will
be a cold front that will push through the area late Monday evening
and into the overnight hours. Severe thunderstorms are possible,
with the most likely mode being of the single-cell or multi-cell
variety. With deep layer shear remaining weak, our primary risk is
expected to be damaging wind gusts and hail up to 1.5 inches. DCAPE
values (1500 to 2500 J/Kg), along with precipitation loading
potential, are expected to be quite favorable for strong downburst
winds.

.LONG TERM...(Tuesday through Sunday)
Issued at 257 PM CDT Sun Jun 19 2022

Overview... The high amplitude H5 ridge will continue to flattened
and move eastward across the Great Lakes into New England, while a
H5 shortwave trof clips west to east across the Northern Plains
region on Tuesday... firmly suppressing the holiday weekend heat
dome and leading to a much more zonal flow pattern for the mid to
late week periods.

Tuesday... looks primarily post cold-frontal and somewhat stabilized
after 12z, with a northwesterly blayer flow turning more westerly
late Tuesday into Wednesday. H5 heights should be coolest mid
afternoon on Tuesday, so that any mid-afternoon stratocu field will
start to diminish from late afternoon into the evening. Expect dry
and mild conditions Tuesday afternoon and evening, with daytime
highs holding very near long term normals.

Wednesday and Thursday... a broad/weak H5 ridge builds across the
Northern Plains Wednesday and shifts a bit eastward towards the
Great Lakes on Thursday. Temperatures should warm back into the 80s
across most of the area and winds slowly shift from the west to
southwest on Wednesday. Then on Thursday, a continued warming
airmass with temperatures stretching from the middle 80s north to
the middle 90s nearer the SD border. Warmer temperatures from
Wednesday into Thursday and a destabilizing southerly flow will
increase the chance for thunderstorms, Wednesday night into
Thursday.

Friday into Sunday... Guidance suggests that the northern branch of
the Polar Jet Stream could get even a bit more amplified for late
week and weekend period. Friday should continue to push somewhat
above normal,with temperatures  again ranging from the mid 80s
nearer Canada and the mid 90s nearer SD. Ensembles suggest that the
next H5 shortwave trof will nudge into the Northern Plains from
Friday evening into Saturday, with that having the highest risk for
more widespread thunderstorms. Saturday into Sunday then trend to
more widely scattered showers and temperatures nearer to long term
normals.

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Monday evening)
Issued at 642 PM CDT Sun Jun 19 2022

There is still somewhat of a low level jet expected to form again
tonight, mainly along and east of the Red River Valley. It does
not look as strong as the past few nights, but did include the
mention of LLWS in most TAFs tonight. Other than that, surface
winds will also remain elevated overnight, with the possible
exception of KDVL. Low confidence in any thunderstorms tonight,
and they may form in the late afternoon/early evening Monday. For
those reasons, did not mention any thunder at this point, but may
with the next set of TAFs.
