Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Grand Forks ND
1134 AM CST Fri Dec 12 2025

.KEY MESSAGES...

- Period of sustained northwest winds of 20-25 mph with gusts
  30-40 mph will create areas of blowing snow into early
  afternoon. Little to no falling snow is expected with these
  winds, so impacts look to remain in the advisory range with
  isolated to scattered whiteout conditions possible in open
  country.

- An Arctic air mass, along with breezy northwest winds, will
  bring dangerously cold wind chills into the region through
  Sunday. Wind chills Saturday and Sunday mornings could fall as
  low as -40F.

&&

.UPDATE...
Issued at 1135 AM CST Fri Dec 12 2025

Occasional visibility reductions continue across parts of the
area as convective snow showers form along northwest flow
heading into the afternoon. Most areas, however, are seeing
mostly clear skies with continued breezy northwest winds.

UPDATE
Issued at 605 AM CST Fri Dec 12 2025

Cold front at 12z from near Intl Falls to Alexandria with
initialarea of snow ahead of the front moving east with it.
THere is a secondary narrow band of light snow that moved thru
NE ND and is now roughly near a Baudette to Crookston to Fargo
line. Reductions in the snow are generally 2-4 SM. Outside of
any falling snow vsbys at AWOS sites generally abv 3SM. Webcams
so far indicate some low level blowing,drifting but overall
vsbys remain pretty good. Dont doubt though pockets of lower
vsbys are ongoing and will continue thru the early aftn in some
areas so wil leave advisory as is. But the chance of blizzard
conditions developing as fallen to around zero percent.

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 322 AM CST Fri Dec 12 2025

...Synopsis...

500 mb low is dropping south-southeast from north central Canada
and into northern Manitoba this early Friday morning...and ahead
of it is a 500 mb short wave trough and surface cold front
moving thru the area. As this 500 low moves east Sunday an upper
low moves off the Pacific NW coast with another rain event for
that area. Upper level ridging takes place into the northern
Plains and into central Canada early next week, before a wave
off the Pacific moves thru parts of central Canada from Edmonton
to Saskatoon eastward Mon night & Tuesday which will flatten
the 500 mb ridge and return us to zonal flow. But also bring a
period of westerly milder air into the area. As we get into the
Wed afternoon- night period a separate system moving along the
US/Canada border will affect the area and bring colder air back
south along with chances for light snow, esp along the border.

...Blowing snow potential today, then wind chills thru Sunday...

cold front swill be east of the area shortly after 12z Area of
snow along and ahead of it leaving less than 1 inch accumulation
as it moves east. By 12z..only lingering snow chances will be
found around Bemidji to Wadena. Clouds behind the front giving a
few flurries, but much colder and drier airmass behind the
front is bringing clearing into Brandon MB and Bottineau and
Rugby ND at 09z. Clearing will work east and southeast this
morning. But another clipper system moving southeast from
northern Montana thru SW ND into South Dakota will likely keep
some mid and high level moisture in our southern region thru
tonight, before drier air moves southward and clears out a lot
of the cloud cover for all areas Saturday and Saturday night.
Latest temp fcsts and wind chill forecasts indicate a bit
smaller area of potentially -40F or lower wind chills early
Saturday and Sunday mornings. So for this reason will maintain
the cold weather advisory as lowest wind chills for most areas
will be in the -30s.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SATURDAY/...
Issued at 1135 AM CST Fri Dec 12 2025

Conditions vary greatly as we head into the afternoon, with
convective snow showers occasionally reducing visibility to IFR
levels. Overall, look for MVFR to VFR conditions for KGFK, KDVL,
and KFAR, with periods of IFR visibility due to blowing snow and
isolated convective snow showers. Winds are expected to diminish
later this afternoon, which will reduce the coverage of blowing
snow and allow conditions to improve slowly as we head into the
evening hours. VFR conditions are expected by late evening and
should persist overnight.
