Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Grand Forks ND
632 AM CDT Fri Jun 24 2022
.SHORT TERM...(Today through Saturday)
Issued at 401 AM CDT Fri Jun 24 2022
- Weather related impacts are likely today into tonight
- Severe t-storms are expected across a large portion of the area
- ALL HAZARDS are possible today, including:
- Large hail up to 2 inches
- Damaging wind gusts of 70 to 75 mph
- Tornadoes
- Localized flash flooding
- Much cooler temperatures expected Saturday
- Gusty northwest winds through much of Saturday
Severe thunderstorms will be the primary concern today, primarily
through the afternoon, evening, and early overnight hours.
Moisture advection increases this morning along a sfc to 850 mb
jet. Dew points will increase from the middle 60s to the lower to
middle 70s across the eastern half of North Dakota and into west-
central and northwest Minnesota. This, along with diurnal heating,
will bring CAPE values well into the 3000 to 4500 J/kg range.
Thunderstorm development this afternoon will likely be a pre-
frontal trough/theta- e gradient boundary axis. Shear is expected
to build, with the best 0 to 6 Km shear occuring to the west of
the forecast area, where supercellular mode is expected. The mid
to low-level shear will be sufficient to maintain rotating
updrafts as thunderstorms progress eastward into the forecast
area, eventually undergoing a transition to linear mode, possibly
with multiple bowing segments.
DCAPE in the 1000 to 1500 J/Kg range, combined with favorable
precipitation loading, brings the concern for severe wind gusts
across a relatively large area. Currently, the modeled environment
strongly supports wind gusts in excess of 60 mph, with at least
moderate confidence in 70 to 75 mph wind gusts. Tornadoes are
possible both with the initial onset of development, as well as
during the linear/bowing segment phase. Duration will run from mid-
afternoon through the early overnight hours.
Much cooler temperatures prevail Saturday in the post-frontal
environment. Northwest winds are expected to be in the 20 to 30 mph
range, with the potential for 40 mph gusts.
.LONG TERM...(Saturday night through Thursday)
Issued at 401 AM CDT Fri Jun 24 2022
The mean upper air pattern next week as indicated by WPC
cluster analysis shows a broad upper low over northwest Hudson
Bay with a northwest flow of cooler air into Manitoba and
Ontario. Meanwhile there is a trough off of Washington state with
a ridge into Montana and then WNW flow over the Dakotas and
Minnesota as the two streams combine. This overall prevents
excessive heat from reaching our area, but also keeps the well
below normal temps to our north. Result is a period with
temperatures not too far from average through the period. Upper
level systems will move through the area either from either the
trough off Washington state or southeast through the area from
Alberta. Net result will be periodic shower or t-storm chances,
but overall strength/moisture is limited. Best chances look to be
Monday night and again Wednesday or Wednesday night. But chances
are no higher than 30 pct. NBM 4.1 shows prob for more than 0.50
inch of rain in any 48 hour period next week less than 5 percent.
&&
.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Saturday morning)
Issued at 618 AM CDT Fri Jun 24 2022
VFR conditions prevail at all sites this morning. Scattered
showers and thunderstorms are possible this morning in west-
central Minnesota, as well as the northern portions of the Red
River Valley. Additional thunderstorm development is expected
today, with severe thunderstorms possible at all TAF sites
starting late this afternoon. The environment is supportive of
large hail, damaging wind gusts (including microbursts), and
tornadoes.

The main hazards will be large hail up to 2 inches and damaging wind gusts of 70 to 75 mph. Isolated tornadoes are also possible. Storms will initially be more scattered and capable of producing all hazards, but will eventually form into a line that will carry all hazards as well. Localized flash flooding will be possible. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday The probability for widespread hazardous weather is low. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
