Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Grand Forks ND
1215 PM CDT Tue Oct 15 2024

.KEY MESSAGES...

- Near critical to critical fire weather is expected Wednesday
afternoon, with worsening conditions on Thursday.

&&

.UPDATE...
Issued at 1215 PM CDT Tue Oct 15 2024

The fog from Baudette to Bemidji took a long time to lift, but
it finally looks like it is breaking up. Otherwise, the forecast
is looking good for the rest of the afternoon.

&&

UPDATE
Issued at 958 AM CDT Tue Oct 15 2024

The Freeze Warning will drop off at 10 am this morning, the last
one for the season. There is still some fog to the east of the
RRV, but holes are starting to develop. Think it should erode
within the next hour or so. Otherwise, expect south winds to
slowly increase today, mainly along and west of the RRV. There
has also been some cirrus spreading into areas west of the RRV
as well.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 252 AM CDT Tue Oct 15 2024

...Synopsis...

Surface high pressure centered in northwest Ontario will shift south
through the day today into the central plains with eastward
advancing 500 mb ridging through the mid week reaching its
maximum amplitude over our area Wednesday afternoon. It is
however quickly shunted east by western troughing through the
late week which will bring increasing rain chances this weekend
though not looking to be notable rain amounts with whatever does
fall. Main story of the period however will increased fire
weather concerns Wednesday and Thursday as RH drops and winds
increase.

- Fire Weather

A Fire Weather Watch has been issued and is valid 1pm to 7pm
Wednesday for southeast North Dakota. A tightened pressure pressure
gradient on the back edge of the departing sfc high and in advance
of a developing sfc low in eastern MT will result in 30+ kt 925mb
flow. Mixing of these stronger winds to the sfc will not be entirely
efficient in the warm air advection regime but there is strong
consensus in a period of high gusts but in the late morning hours
before RH really drops for the day. Min RH values of 20-25 in far
southeast North Dakota in combination with sustained southerly winds
around 20mph.

Stronger winds seem likely on Thursday with deeper mixing potential
and stronger winds aloft though RH looks to remain in the same
ballpark at 20-25 percent for area mins. HWDI does conclusively
paint Thursday as the more impactful day but will wait and see how
the forecast evolves as there is still some time for changes to
occur. Notably there is cold front associated with the low
developing in MT from the previous day that is forecast to sweep
through the Dakotas and Minnesota by the evening switching winds
from the south during the day to west/northwest overnight.

- Weekend Rain Chances

Still some variation as one would expect on Day 5 of the forecast
with where the cutoff low sets up with most clusters keeping it near
the four corners region with only about 20 percent of members
ejecting the low into the plains by Sunday. Overall this means
forcing for any rain will remain very weak and advection forced. QPF
looks to remain at or under 0.25" per all clusters so yet again
nowhere near enough to compensate for our bone dry last several
weeks but anything helps going into the impending winter deep freeze
for moisture for next years crops.

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z WEDNESDAY/...
Issued at 1215 PM CDT Tue Oct 15 2024

Once the morning stratus layer finally scours out at KBJI, the
main impact turns to increasing south winds over the next 24
hours. For this afternoon and tonight, the south winds really
only increase at KDVL/KGFK/KFAR. A low level jet kicks in after
dark, and spreads from west to east across the FA, bringing some
LLWS. After sunrise Wednesday, these south winds will once
again increase, becoming pretty windy by late morning into the
afternoon.
