Area forecast discussion, Jul 31, 2:00 PM CST, 10 hours 15 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BISMARCK ND 300 PM CDT WED JUL 31 2002 A COLD UPPER TROUGH WILL SWING THROUGH THE STATE OVERNIGHT...WITH ITS ASSOCIATED SURFACE COLD FRONT SETTING OFF SOME THUNDERSTORMS. ON THURSDAY I EXPECT A BROKEN CU DECK TO FORM IN THE NORTH AND A SCATTERED ONE IN THE SOUTH AS THE COLD SURFACE HIGH BEARS DOWN ON THE STATE. WE SHOULD SEE LOWS IN THE 40S THURSDAY NIGHT...WITH A WARM UP BEGINNING ON FRIDAY. IN THE LONGER TERM...A QUASI STATIONARY LONG WAVE TROUGH ON THE WEST COAST WILL SET THE STAGE FOR AN ACTIVE PERIOD OF WEATHER STARTING SATURDAY...AND CONTINUING THROUGH FRIDAY OF NEXT WEEK. THIS EXPECTED PATTERN WILL FEATURE A PERSISTENT EAST/WEST BOUNDARY OVER SOUTH DAKOTA. THIS HISTORICALLY HAS BEEN A GOOD MECHANISM FOR PRODUCING THUNDERSTORMS IN NORTH DAKOTA. .BIS...NONE. RSL
