AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BISMARCK ND 330 PM CDT TUE JUL 30 2002 A COLD FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL PUSH ACROSS OUR FORECAST AREA LATE TONIGHT BRINGING A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS. BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF A BERMUDA HIGH OVER THE SOUTHEAST U.S. DEWPOINTS WILL NOT REBOUND TO ANY GREAT EXTENT WITH THE APPROACH OF THIS SYSTEM. IN THE MID LEVELS A DRY ZONAL FLOW WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEKEND...HOWEVER SOME IMPULSES ALONG THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE FLOW MAY PUSH ENOUGH VERTICAL MOTION NORTHWARD TO BRING A CHANCE OF SHOWERS TO THE STATE. WE MAY SEE SOME OVERNIGHT READINGS IN THE 40S WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT AS A COOL HIGH PRESSURE PUSHES SOUTH OUT OF CANADA. .BIS...NONE. RSL
