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 Oct 5, 12:04 PM MDT, 18 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Oct 5, 12:04 PM MDT, 18 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Bismarck ND 104 PM CDT Thu Oct 5 2023 .UPDATE... Issued at 104 PM CDT Thu Oct 5 2023 No significant forecast changes are needed for this update. Current observations and trends were blended in. Scattered showers remain prevalent between Highway 83 and the Devils Lake Basin/ James River Valley. UPDATE Issued at 959 AM CDT Thu Oct 5 2023 A few locations have been reporting sustained wind speeds around 30 mph and/or gusts to around 45 mph. We expect the spatial spread of these magnitudes to remain consistent throughout the day, with the increase in diurnal mixing being balanced by a decrease in mean BL winds. Therefore, will continue to hold with no Wind Advisory. Isolated to scattered showers have been located along and east of Highway 83 and north of Interstate 94 this morning. There has been a slight decreasing trend in coverage over the past hour, but several rounds of showers remain possible through the day with the persistent cyclonic flow aloft. UPDATE Issued at 626 AM CDT Thu Oct 5 2023 Minimal changes were needed for this update. Winds are continuing to increase as expected with some gusts in the 35 to 40 mph range starting to show up across portions of the northwest and into the central. A few weak radar echoes have made their way into the vicinity of the Turtle Mountains and Devil's Lake Basin and this activity should continue to increase through the day and expand south. Precipitation chances were tweaked just a bit over the next few hours to better reflect observational trends. Otherwise, the forecast looks to be in good shape. && .SHORT TERM...(Today and Tonight) Issued at 339 AM CDT Thu Oct 5 2023 An upper level trough axis and surface cold front continue to move off into eastern North Dakota and Minnesota early this morning, leaving western and central North Dakota under the influence of northwest cyclonic flow aloft. Various waves will be moving through the northwest flow, bringing scattered showers at times through the day to the north central and into the Devil's Lake Basin and James River Valley. Surface winds are starting to respond to the tightening pressure gradient and cold air advection across portions of the west and north with some stations gusting up to 35 mph. Winds will continue to increase through the day and into the night as another push of stronger cold air advection moves in from Canada late in the afternoon and into the evening. These factors along with decent pressure rises, ECM EFI values maxing out around 0.85 for wind gusts, and steep low level lapse rates will lead to strong northwest winds across all of western and central North Dakota through much of the day. Forecast soundings suggest that some Wind Advisory criteria will be possible across the area, but due to the sporadic nature geographically, we will refrain from issuing any headlines at this time. Additionally, abundant cloud cover and questions about mixing depth add to the uncertainty about how high winds will reach. Still, a few sites could see sustained winds in the 25 to 35 mph range with some gusts in the 40 to 50 mph range. Another fast moving upper low will make it's way down from Manitoba tonight and cross from the north central and eventually into southeastern North Dakota. This will bring more widespread showers to the same areas that saw showers earlier in the day. Additionally, colder temperatures may lead to some snow mixing in. That being said, warm surface temperatures, generally light precipitation, and the fast moving nature of the system will keep any snow from accumulating. Regarding temperatures, it will be quite chilly today with much cooler highs combined with the strong winds. Highs will mainly be in the low to mid 50s but apparent temperatures may only reach into the upper 30s to lower 40s across the north. For tonight, we are still expecting freezing temperatures over much of the west and north. The coldest temperatures will be over the west with some mid to upper 20s. Will leave the Freeze Watch as is for now, but an upgrade to a Freeze Warning is likely in future shifts. .LONG TERM...(Friday through Wednesday) Issued at 339 AM CDT Thu Oct 5 2023 The start of the long term forecast, particularly the weekend, will see some breezy and cool conditions. Northwesterly upper level flow is expected across our area over the weekend, as an upper level trough digs down to our east across the Great Lakes region. At the surface, potent high pressure will ride along with the trough, descending southeast into eastern Montana early Friday morning, before building east into North Dakota through the day. Ahead of this high, the pressure gradient is anticipated to strengthen as it builds against low pressure across northern Minnesota. As such, breezy conditions are expected across much of central North Dakota early Friday morning and decreasing through the day, as the high pressure center continues to move east into the area. Alongside these breezy winds, reduced temperatures are expected, with much of the area having highs only in the mid to upper 40s. Lows Friday night into Saturday morning will dip into the upper 20s to lower 30s. Additional freeze headlines are expected for this timeframe as well, and frost development is expected to be widespread, especially with overnight wind speeds decreasing. Saturday will mark the beginning of a warming trend, as a large ridge across the western CONUS will begin to build into the Dakotas behind the previously mentioned trough. Upper level flow will continue to be northwesterly, so conditions during this time will likely be dry. This pattern will hold heading into next week, with high temperatures expected to gradually warm up each day. Though with the dry conditions, seasonable overnight lows are still possible, with much of the state remaining in the 30s and 40s each night. The first signal for a pattern shift will come near the end of the extended period, when the ridge may potentially get flattened out by a trough descending south from Saskatchewan. However, guidance this far out is still divisive on the timing, strength, and position of this trough, so nothing can be set in stone just yet. This flattening could mark the next time we receive any precipitation with a brief period of southwesterly upper level flow, but we will need to continue monitoring this feature over the next few days to determine if this will pan out. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Friday Afternoon) Issued at 104 PM CDT Thu Oct 5 2023 MVFR ceilings remain possible at KMOT and KJMS early this afternoon, but an improvement to VFR is likely by early evening. There is then high confidence in MVFR ceilings returning across central and eastern North Dakota later tonight, with lower confidence in the west. Scattered rain showers also remain possible across central and eastern North Dakota through most of the forecast period, and some snow could mix in late tonight into early Friday morning. Northwest winds will remain strong through the forecast period, with sustained speeds around 20-25 kts and gusts from 30 to 40 kts. && .BIS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
