.UPDATE...
Issued at 1244 PM CDT Thu Mar 13 2025

A surface low is analyzed in north central Montana, with a
surface trough and weakening pressure gradient extending into
southwest North Dakota. There is enough of a pressure gradient
for breezy winds across the north and east, with pretty
widespread cirrus across the area. No major changes with this
update.

UPDATE
Issued at 944 AM CDT Thu Mar 13 2025

Radar returns have diminished across the north central this
morning as expected, with a few obs of light rain over the past
couple of hours. Made some adjustments to POPs and sky cover
with this update, with more widespread cirrus upstream. Should
be a pleasant mid-March day for the majority of the forecast
area with well above average temperatures.

UPDATE
Issued at 645 AM CDT Thu Mar 13 2025

Limited updates needed this morning. Weak radar returns continue
in north central and northeastern portions this morning. Some
light rain, snow, or freezing rain remain possible through the
mid morning hours in these areas. So far impacts and reports
have been limited. Made some minor adjustments to PoPs based on
the latest radar data. Otherwise the forecast remains on track.

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 421 AM CDT Thu Mar 13 2025

An upper level ridge continues to move over the Northern Rockies
into Northern Plains today. An upper level wave continues to
pass over northern North Dakota bringing in light rain so far.
Temperatures have remained above freezing as the cold front is
slowly stalling near the international border. Today is forecast
to be the warmest days of week with high temperatures climbing
into the lower 40s north to the mid 60s south.

A dynamic upper level low is forecast to move across the Central
Plains passing through the Northern Plains into Canada by this
weekend. This upper level system continues to remain mostly east
for precipitation impacts. In addition to the upper level low
moving through the region, the jet stream will remain in split
flow. A northern low pressure system will move through
Saskatchewan bringing widespread lift across the western half of
the state while the strong upper low moves up through the
Central Plains. Precipitation chances remain around 40 to 60
percent Friday morning into the afternoon as this northern
system spreads west to east. As this system moves through the
region precipitation will start out as rain transitioning to
mixed frozen precipitation by the evening hours before finally
transition to snow overnight. Precipitation across the western
and central will be from this northern system while the strong
upper level low will bring precipitation to the eastern half of
the state and the James River Valley.

As the strong upper level low moves into the region Friday, a
trowal axis looks to set up over the North Dakota Minnesota
border overnight. The latest NBM data has a 19 percent chance
of at least 2 inches snow or more for Jamestown. The GEFs has
around a 30 percent chance of 2 inches or more in Jamestown.
While the Euro has around a 24 percent chance of at least 2
inches of snow or more for Jamestown. This is a big down trend
in precipitation accumulations from last nights data for all the
ensembles. The QPF continues to decrease in our area causing
this down trend and precipitation could fall as more rain and
mixed freezing precipitation in the James River Valley. Ice
accumulations remain low around 0.01 to 0.02 of an inch in the
James River Valley and the northwest from the northern system.

The ECMWF EFI has central and eastern North Dakota highlighted
for high winds Saturday. A strong surface pressure gradient
will push strong sustained winds around 45 mph with gusts up to
60 mph across the James River Valley into the Red River Valley
late Friday into Saturday. Falling snow and strong winds could
lead to visibility reductions mainly out east.

Above normal temperatures are forecast to return by Sunday as
another upper level ridge moves across the region. The southwest
could warm back into the 50s while the northeast remains in the
20s. Monday above normal temperatures return to the southern
half of the state before a cold front moves into the region with
increased precipitation chances across the north.

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z FRIDAY/...
Issued at 1244 PM CDT Thu Mar 13 2025

VFR conditions at all terminals through most of the period.
Breezy southeast to east winds will continue across northern and
eastern North Dakota through the evening. Winds will shift
northerly to then northwesterly through the night and into
Friday as a surface low moves through the area, with strong
winds expected across western North Dakota on Friday. Lower
ceilings will begin moving into northern and western parts of
the state after 12Z, getting down to IFR at KXWA at the end of
the TAF period. Precipitation chances will accompany the lower
ceilings, with only enough confidence to include prevailing
precipitation at KXWA with this update, although there are low
chances at KMOT/KDIK late in the period.
