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 Grand Forks, ND wrote its last area forecast discussion before this wind chill warning went out at Dec 20, 3:17 AM CST, 1 hour 1 minute earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Dec 20, 3:17 AM CST, 1 hour 1 minute before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Grand Forks ND
317 AM CST Tue Dec 20 2022

.SHORT TERM...(Today through Wednesday)
Issued at 317 AM CST Tue Dec 20 2022

Main impacts in the short term include snow chances Wednesday, and
dangerous wind chills.

Tuesday, expect dangerously cold wind chills to prevail throughout
the day. The morning will start out with some areas close to -40 in
the Devils Lake Basin, but this period will be short lived and the
wind chills not widespread. Otherwise, wind chills below -25 are to
be expected in eastern North Dakota and into northwestern Minnesota.
Actual high temperatures will range from 2 above to 12 below, so
make sure you bundle up, and take appropriate precautions if you
have to be outside for prolonged periods of time.

Tuesday night, wind chills again look to be a concern, in the -25 to
-35 range. Actual low temperatures will range from -15 to -25.

Snow looks to spread east from central North Dakota into the Devils
Lake Basin starting around midnight tuesday night. This system looks
to drop more measurable precipitation on the area into Wednesday
night. NBM probs have a 50 - 85% chance for greater than 1", and a
<30% chance of greater than 4" of accumulation. Highest chances for
greater than an inch are around the SD border, and decrease as you
move toward the international border. Likely scenario is up to 1 -
1.5 inches north of HWY 2, between 1.5 - 2.5 inches between HWY 2
and I-94, and up to 3 - 4" south of I-94. This snow will have high
ratios, so light and fluffy snow for a change.

All through this event, wind chills will continue to be a concern.
Actual temperatures will remain in the single digits below zero for
highs and into the teens below zero for low temperatures into
Thursday morning.

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday night through Monday)
Issued at 317 AM CST Tue Dec 20 2022

Impacts are probable due to blowing snow concerns Thursday and
Friday.  Snow is done with by Thursday morning.  Initially winds not
strong Thursday due to weak low pressure that will be over Wisconsin
at 12z.  During the day Thursday 500 mb vort will round the base of
the trough and with strong upper level jet bring about rapid
development of low and strengthening low into Indiana Thursday night
into lower Michigan Friday 12z.  As the low strengthens moving into
lower Michigan (near or just west of Detroit) this is when the
pressure gradient tightens over the Red River valley with sfc
northerly winds increasing to sustained 20-25 kts with gusts 35
kts. So the time period for blowing snow, potential ground
blizzard impacts would most likely be Thursday night into
Friday...esp the 06z-18z Fri period. Will maintain messaging we
have out for this event. Wind chills also will be well into
advisory levels for almost all areas Thu-Fri with potential
warning criteria wind chills western fcst area (DVL). Based on
prev shifts thoughts, will let dayshift Tuesday coordinate any
wind chill and/or any winter weather headlines. During the wind,
no snow is expected to fall, but with the wet snow we had last
week drying out more and becoming more blowable due to cold
temperatures, plus a couple more inches of fluff certainly will
not take a lot of wind to cause problems.

Warming will commence this weekend as 500 mb low moves out and
replaced by west-northwest flow.  There is a southeast moving
clipper system though progged to bring some snow chances Sunday.
&&

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Tuesday night)
Issued at 1013 PM CST Mon Dec 19 2022

MVFR conditions prevail at KBJI this evening, with VFR conditions
elsewhere. Light snow and flurries are possible this evening;
however this will likely be short-lived. Skies are expected to
gradually clear during the early overnight period, with
increasing cloud cover toward sunrise.

334 PM CST Mon Dec 19 2022

This hazardous weather outlook is for portions of eastern North
Dakota, west central and northwest Minnesota.

.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight

Snow will taper off from west to east this evening, with 1 to 2
inches of new snow generally north of a line from Valley City to
Fargo to Wadena. During the evening and overnight, wind chills
will lower into the 30s below zero over eastern North Dakota and
portions of northwest and west central Minnesota.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday

Hazardous wind chills will continue Tuesday into Wednesday, with
another round of snow expected Wednesday into Wednesday night.
This system may bring a widespread 1 to 2 inches of snow to the
entire area, with slightly higher totals possible along the North
and South Dakota border into portions of west central Minnesota.
Thereafter, the potential for blowing snow and dangerous wind
chills arrives for Thursday and Friday. This may lead to reduced
visibility across the region, impacting travel conditions during
this busy holiday travel time frame. Currently, there is around a
20 percent chance for blizzard conditions Thursday and Friday.
While the worst conditions are most likely Thursday and Friday,
travel impacts may still linger into Saturday.

If you have travel plans this week, be sure to check the latest
forecasts, consider making alternate travel plans, and carry a
winter survival kit in your vehicle.
