Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Bismarck ND
1151 AM CST Fri Feb 16 2024

.KEY MESSAGES...

- Cold/below seasonal normal temperatures will continue today.
  Wind chills will be near 25 below across portions of northern
  North Dakota this morning. Winds will be breezy out of the
  northwest during the day, with gusts to around 30 mph.

- Gusty westerly winds (peak gusts to around 50 mph) are
  forecast for Saturday, with the strongest winds across the
  central and eastern parts of the state.

- Above normal temperatures and mainly dry conditions can be
  expected starting on Saturday and continuing through next
  week.

&&

.UPDATE...
Issued at 1151 AM CST Fri Feb 16 2024

As the high pressure to our southwest continues sliding east,
the tightening pressure gradient is beginning to product breezy
northwest winds across the area. With temperatures in the single
digits to lower teens, wind chills are still below zero, with
not much improvement expected through the rest of the day. Cloud
cover is increasing from northwest to southeast, so freshened up
sky cover in line with latest trends, otherwise going forecast
looks good.

.UPDATE...
Issued at 940 AM CST Fri Feb 16 2024

Surface high pressure was centered in southeast Montana, with a
swath of low stratus on the northeast side of the low extending
through southwest North Dakota. Daytime satellite imagery shows
some dissipation on the eastern edge, and no flurries have been
observed over the past couple of hours, so will not extend
mention of flurries. Another area of clouds is moving south from
the southern Canadian Prairies.

Current wind chills generally range from 5 to 15 below zero,
with temperatures mostly in the single digits above zero. Winds
are expected to become breezy this afternoon, keeping wind
chills in the single digits at most. No big changes with this
update.

.UPDATE...
Issued at 615 AM CST Fri Feb 16 2024

Adjusted sky cover again based on latest satellite imagery,
along with keeping flurries in across the southwest for a few
more hours this morning. Otherwise there were no changes from
the previous forecast.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 425 AM CST Fri Feb 16 2024

Currently, large area of upper level low pressure remains over
the Hudson Bay region with a zonal flow regime over the southern
CONUS. S/WV trough swinging south through the Northern Plains
region this morning, bringing areas of low level stratus and
flurries to parts of the CWA, mainly west and south. Cold air
associated with the upper low surged south into the region over
the past 24 hours, with temperatures early this morning ranging
from around 10 below far north central to the single digits
above farther south. Only a handful of observations have
reached wind chill criteria north, thus no headlines. Areas of
low clouds continue to push south behind the aforementioned
wave, with flurries within the stratus at times this morning.

Surface high pressure off to our northwest will develop
south/southeast today across the Northern High Plains and far
western South Dakota. Cold boundary layer persists with daytime
highs well below normal for mid-February, with highs today
ranging in the teens to lower 20s. The placement of the surface
high coupled with a decent pressure gradient will result in
breezy west/northwesterly winds during the day today, with peak
gusts to around 30 mph as suggested by sounding analysis via
BUFKIT. Thus a cold/blustery day with wind chills struggling to
climb north of zero this afternoon.

Flow aloft remains robust out of the north/northwest tonight
into the day Saturday with long wave troughing over eastern
North America and a ridge building to our west across the
Rockies. The ridge will promote WAA tonight into Saturday over
western and central areas of the state, while neutral to even
CAA is favored over eastern areas of ND. Expect breezy to windy
conditions tonight as a mid level jet streak approaches the
region, with winds increasing during the day Saturday as the jet
streak passes through the area and as the boundary layer height
increases, allowing some of these winds to mix to the surface.
NAM/GFS sounding analysis suggests we will be at or slightly
above wind advisory criteria Sat morning/afternoon for all but
far western ND, with peak gusts ranging from 40-45 knots. Will
continue to mention this in the HWO. With the WAA and degree of
mixing, high temperatures Saturday warm by 15-20 degrees
compared to Friday.

Flow aloft Sunday into next week will be quasi-zonal, with
minimal precipitation chances (less than 15 percent) due to the
lack of any stronger wave moving near our area. Normal
high temperatures during this timeframe are in the mid 20s to
around 30, with NBM guidance (25th percentiles and above)
strongly suggesting above normal temperatures any given day next
week.

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SATURDAY/...
Issued at 1151 AM CST Fri Feb 16 2024

VFR conditions are expected through the TAF period. The main
concern will be winds, with breezy northwest winds this
afternoon. Winds are expected to stay elevated overnight,
shifting to become more westerly, before increasing further
after 12Z Saturday. Expect the strongest winds in the James
River Valley, with gusts of 40 knots possible at KJMS. We did
include LLWS at all terminals with this update, starting first
at KMOT at 10Z before expanding to other terminals and
continuing through the end of the TAF period.
