AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EASTERN ND/GRAND FORKS ND 425 AM CDT SUN JUN 19 2005 .DISCUSSION...MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGE IS PRECIPITATION. WHEN LOOKING AT THE LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS...LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS CENTERED NEAR RAP...WITH AN INVERTED TROF EXTENDING ALONG A BIS-DVL-YWG LINE. LATEST AREA RADARS SHOW SEVERE CONVECTION MOVING THROUGH CENTRAL ND AT THIS TIME. WITH THESE STORMS HAVING A HISTORY OF HAIL AND HIGH WINDS...CURRENT SR THUNDERSTORM WATCH FOR PART OF NE ND IS STILL VALID UNTIL 8AM. WHEN COMPARING MODELS...ALL ARE PRETTY SIMILAR... BUT WITH ETA APPEARS TO HAVE INITIALIZED CONVECTION BETTER AND GFS HAS FEEDBACK PROBLEMS LATER ON...SO LEANED TOWARDS ETA SOLUTION. MODEL SOUNDINGS KEEP AREA QUITE UNSTABLE THROUGHOUT THE DAY...WITH HIGH CAPE VALUES. THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS SLOW IN MOVING E...SO IT LINGERS OVER THE AREA INTO MON...KEEPING THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER AND HEAVY RAIN IN THE FORECAST. THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE TODAY IS WHAT WILL HAPPEN WITH THE 700MB CAP. IT CURRENTLY APPEARS THAT CAP WILL HOLD OVER SE ND AND WC MN THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY AND EVEN POSSIBLY INTO THIS EVENING...KEEPING THIS PORTION OF THE AREA DRY...WITH PLENTY OF HEATING OCCURRING. THIS HEAT IN COMBINATION WITH DEWPOINTS AROUND 70...WILL RESULT IN HEAT INDICES RISING TO AROUND 100. THUS...DAY SHIFT WILL HAVE TO CONTINUE TO MONITOR THIS AREA FOR POSSIBLE HEAT ADVISORY FOR THIS AFTERNOON. THETA-E RIDGE AND SURFACE MOISTURE FLUX CONVERGENCE HANG ALONG THE FRONTAL ZONE INTO MONDAY...WITH PW VALUES REMAINING AROUND 1.5 INCHES. SO...WILL UPDATE AND REISSUE ESF. FINALLY ON MON NIGHT...HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN...PUSHING THE LOW AND THE CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS TO THE S AND E OF THE REGION. THE HIGH DOMINATES THE WEATHER INTO WED. THE NEXT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS BRUSHES THE AREA ON WED. WHEN LOOKING AT THE EXTENDED FORECAST...THERE STILL IS PRETTY GOOD CONTINUITY...WITH THE NEXT LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM TRACKING ACROSS S CANADA AND DRAGGING A FRONT THOUGH THE REGION AND ADDITIONAL CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION. THUS...ONLY MINIMAL CHANGES NEEDED IN EXTENDED FORECAST. && .FGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... ND...HYDROLOGIC OUTLOOK FOR ALL ND COUNTIES. MN...HYDROLOGIC OUTLOOK FOR ALL MN COUNTIES. && NG
