Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Grand Forks ND
1223 AM CST Tue Feb 14 2023

.UPDATE...
Issued at 1222 AM CST Tue Feb 14 2023

Higher clouds continue to filter in from the west. Impacts remain
rather low across the area with no major changes to this forecast.

UPDATE Issued at 945 PM CST Mon Feb 13 2023

Higher clouds are now over top of the majority of the Red River
Valley, slowly spreading eastward into Minnesota. Tonight could be
a bit warmer in some spots due to cloud cover. Otherwise, forecast
remains on track.

UPDATE Issued at 640 PM CST Mon Feb 13 2023

Some lower clouds in the northern RRV this evening, with cirrus
filtering into the Devils Lake Basin here pretty soon. Quiet night
before the storm tomorrow. Forecast remains on track.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Wednesday)
Issued at 311 PM CST Mon Feb 13 2023

Winter impacts and their placement and timing will be the main
headaches for the period.

The immediate short term conditions will be pretty quiet, with
split flow aloft and the southern branch well to our south and the
northern branch over the Rockies. Increasing clouds overnight and
south to southwesterly surface winds should help bring warmer
air. Temperatures overnight should stay mainly in the teens to
20s, although there will be some portions of the Devils Lake Basin
that will see winds shifting to the north towards morning. Cold
air advection is pretty weak with this initial trough axis, so
think impacts will be pretty minimal.

Tuesday, the southern branch upper low lifts into eastern
Nebraska, with the surface reflection deepening over Iowa. Several
model runs had precip starting fairly early as the surface
inverted trough begins to extend into our far southern and eastern
counties. Latest CAM runs have backed off on this a bit, but still
can't rule out some rain/drizzle, or perhaps freezing rain at
times as the HREF has some signal for FZRA Tuesday morning.
However, many model soundings are fairly dry in the warm layer
aloft, and the set up is not great for freezing precipitation. NBM
probabilities of any icing of 0.01 or more are pretty low in our
area, so not overly confident in FZRA impacts. Can't completely
rule it out, but probably some potential flash freezing from
rain/melting snow as temperatures drop later on will be the main
problem.

Tuesday night into Wednesday, the low lifts off into the Great
Lakes and starts to phase with the northern stream. There will be
a strong push of cold air late Tuesday night, with over 40 C/km
cold air advection at 925mb for a short time. The cold front will
be coming through late in the night, and all the momentum may not
be realized, but think there will be at least some sustained winds
in the 30 to 40 mph range with gusts up to 60 mph possible.
Current snow pack is well iced over across our CWA as well as into
Canada. Blowing snow impacts will have to come from falling snow,
with locations getting over 2 inches having the best chances for
sustained low visibility. While the sheltered areas in
northwestern MN may not see as high of winds, they have higher QPF
values and there should be a good combination of falling and
blowing snow that will also bring visibility impacts. Blowing snow
probabilities get up above 70 percent well into the the Thief
River Falls area, with 40 to 70 percent well into the Baudette and
Bemidji areas. Thus, expanded the winter storm watch further north
and east.

By Wednesday, a northern branch trough digging down into the
Dakotas will help keep cold air coming down, although the pressure
gradient should be relaxing as the main system pulls east. Could
still see some blowing snow impacts into Wednesday morning, but
should be improvement into the afternoon hours.

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday night through Monday)
Issued at 311 PM CST Mon Feb 13 2023

Overview:

Brief cooler temperatures are expected on Thursday, with a warm up
end of the week and into the weekend. Flow aloft gradually changes
from NW flow to more zonal through the long term. Little to no
impacts are expected during the long term.

Thursday and onward...

Some lingering windy conditions are possible early Thursday, but
majority of the area should see light winds. As the cold air
advection shifts through the area skies turn partly cloudy and
temperatures drop to the negative teens Thursday morning. Highs only
reach into the single digits. As winds remain light across the
region, wind chills should remain below advisory criteria throughout
Thursday. However there is a chances some patchy areas could get
down to near advisory limits for a brief couple of hours. Expect
another cool morning on Friday, before temperatures return to above
normal as highs reach the mid 20s to lower 30s for the end of the
week and into the weekend.

Cluster analysis continues to show a 500mb ridge situated over the
plains through the weekend, but a general flattening of the ridge
early next week. As the ridge flattens, flow turns more zonal for
the northern plains increasing the chances for shortwaves to
translate across the region. Otherwise, looks like quiet conditions
are expected throughout the long term.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Tuesday night)
Issued at 1008 PM CST Mon Feb 13 2023

VFR conditions will deteriorate to IFR conditions into Tuesday
afternoon and evening. Winds will shift to the north into Tuesday
morning, and from there will pick up to be 15 - 25kts sustained
with gusts in excess of 35 kts. Ceilings will drop drastically
into the afternoon, dropping from 15000 to less than 1000 in a few
hours. -RASN, RA, and SN are all possible Tuesday afternoon as
well.
