What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this wind advisory went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Bismarck, ND wrote its last area forecast discussion before this wind advisory went out at Jan 25, 3:06 AM MST, 0 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jan 25, 3:06 AM MST, 0 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Bismarck ND
406 AM CST Wed Jan 25 2023

.SHORT TERM...(Today and Tonight)
Issued at 406 AM CST Wed Jan 25 2023

Low stratus continues to stream in from Canada, as we are stuck in
northwest flow. These low clouds are producing scattered snow
flurries. Patchy fog has also formed in the west. Visibilities
have been as low as 1/2 mile in Williston. The fog should slide
east some and be done by 13z. These low clouds look to last all
day as the 925mb relative humidities are around 90 percent. The
clipper parade will continue as the next one moves through today.
Light snow can be expected in the west starting late morning.
Accumulations of around 1/2 inch, with the possibility of 1 inch
locally is expected. The snow should be done by 11pm MST.
Temperatures will still be at or above normal in the central and
west, and slightly below normal in the east with highs in the
lower teens. Tonight will be cold with lows in the single digits
east to the teens west.

.LONG TERM...(Thursday through Tuesday)
Issued at 406 AM CST Wed Jan 25 2023

The next clipper in the parade we've been talking about for the
last few days. This clipper moves in Thursday and will be rain and
snow, along with very breezy winds. A warm front extending off
the clipper will start to move in Thursday morning in the west.
Precipitation will start as snow until temperatures warm above
freezing around noon, the rain is likely in the west and central.
High temperatures should be above freezing everywhere with the
southwest being the warmest in the upper 30s. The rain mixing in
will dampen the snowfall totals along with the blowing snow
potential. For this reason we have not included blowing snow into
the forecast along with the current snow on the ground is crusted
over and most likely not blowable. Winds during Thursday look to
gust to advisory level behind the front. So we have issued a Wind
Advisory for Thursday afternoon through Thursday night. A
challenge with this is the NBM 4.1 model has winds at warning
criteria, however this model typically over does the winds, so we
reduced the winds down. Another challenge is the EFI forecast
index has a signal for advisory level winds but not as strong as
we would like to see. This will be something to keep an eye on as
we get closer, and why we are only issuing an advisory for the
winds. Snow totals look to be below an inch except for the
northwest where it will start as snow, there could see at least an
inch. The other spot that could see an inch is the Turtle
Mountain area, the NBM has a high chance of at least an inch there.

Friday the flow starts to turn zonal as a big push of cold air
drops into the northern states. Temperatures Tuesday will be well
below normal, with wind chills on Sunday and Monday mornings in
the -20s and -30s. The northeast could see -40 for wind chills on
Monday. This will be the first cold blast since December. No
precipitation is excepted in the time period.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Wednesday Night)
Issued at 406 PM CST Tue Jan 24 2023

Mainly MVFR through the period with the low stratus deck. Snow
flurries are possible, along with patchy fog in the west affecting
KXWA and KDIK. Chance of light snow Wednesday afternoon through
the evening in the west, affecting mainly just KDIK. Winds this
afternoon in the west could gust to 20 knots again.
