Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Grand Forks ND
1120 PM CST Sun Feb 9 2025

.KEY MESSAGES...

- Bitterly cold wind chills expected this week. Wind chills will
  fall into the minus 30s Monday morning and likely minus 40s on
  Tuesday and Thursday.

&&

.UPDATE...
Issued at 928 PM CST Sun Feb 9 2025

Isolated flurries have cropped up below stratus, but impacts
will be limited as no accumulations or impacts to visibility
have been observed. Other than that, expect wind chills to get
at least to 20 below, with 30 below expected in the Devils Lake
Basin.

UPDATE
Issued at 622 PM CST Sun Feb 9 2025

Convective snow showers developed late this afternoon on the
periphery of a differential diabatic heating boundary between
snowpack and no snowpack in the central Red River Valley. These
have diminished for the most part now that the sun is setting.
Overnight temperatures will remain fairly low in the 5 to 10
below range, with the coldest temperatures in the Devils Lake
Basin and south of I-94 because of recent snowpack. Close
monitoring will be necessary down there for potential expansion
of the Cold Weather Advisory as air temperatures will be fairly
cold and may push it to the 30 below range for apparent
temperature.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 117 PM CST Sun Feb 9 2025

...Synopsis...

Progressive Hudson Bay troughing to the northeast and stout Gulf of
Alaska riding in the NW Pacific are currently yielding weak
shortwave troughing across the Canadian prairies and north central
US. This will gradually transition to a more amplified NW flow
regime on the lee of the Canadian Rockies with cold air intruding
across the Canadian border. By mid week deep layer troughing
develops across the Hudson Bay fixing the pattern into a locked
state until Pacific troughing undercuts the Alaskan ridge and allows
spilt flow in the mid levels with flow in the northern plains
becoming more zonal aloft cutting off the supply line of the colder
continental polar airmass with a modified maritime polar airmass
traversing the Rockies and bringing increasing precipitation chances
late week into the weekend.

- Cold air

This will be the third solid cold snap of the season with one in
late November around Thanksgiving and then another back a few weeks
ago in mid January. This will fall in between the two in terms of
severity of cold with a similar duration of cold to the January cold
snap. Conveniently we just had a fresh swath of 4-8' of snow for
most locations south of I-94 in North Dakota and HWY 10 in
Minnesota. This will serve to help the cold air reach its full
radiational cooling potential in the overnight periods tonight
through next weekend as lows fall into the minus single digits to
minus teens each night through next weekend. Tuesday and Thursday
look particularly cold as they show the highest probability of lows
falling past -20 on a more than local basis. Currently have a wind
chill advisory in effect tonight for the Devils Lake basin with a
plan to issue a more long fused product starting sometime Monday
afternoon/evening to cover the extended duration sub -30 wind
chills. Shorter duration Extreme Cold Warnings may be needed
throughout the next several days but will likley not cover
consecutive days or nights with enough of a daytime rebound in
dangerous wind chills.

- Late week snow chances

As upper flow becomes more zonal and progressive Thursday into
Friday a wave will traverse the northern CONUS tracking through the
upper Midwest bringing a 25% chance for up to 1" to start the
weekend. As for other wintery impacts such as blowing snow it
appears to be a notably calm period in terms of winds with Monday
afternoon seeming to foster the best potential for some drifting
mainly north of HWY 200 throughout northeast North Dakota. Maybe 10-
20% of the area would see any drifting as this area is particularly
wind scoured/crusted per polar orbiting satellite passes from
yesterday, so any drifting will come from the patchy blowable snow
in the area.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z TUESDAY/...
Issued at 1120 PM CST Sun Feb 9 2025

This routine TAF issuance will be fairly low confidence. In the
first 6 hours of the TAF period, bands of stratus will continue to
circle around a low up in Canada, bringing periodic MVFR ceilings to
GFK/TVF/BJI. Guidance for the most part does clear this out after
12z thanks to increasing winds. Of even lower confidence is after
18z, roughly half of guidance brings down MVFR ceilings again to the
same locations, however the other half brings nothing down. Looking
at the upper pattern, it does appear that there is some support for
stratus to come around once again, however given low confidence it
will be left out of the current TAF. Other impacts to aviation are
not expected as winds remain fairly light and the pattern does not
support fog. Blowing snow cannot be ruled out in the afternoon,
although impacts will be limited.
