AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BISMARCK ND
251 PM CDT SUN JUL 10 2005

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
MAIN CONCERN IS FOR TONIGHT. A STALLED WEAK FRONT BISECTS THE CWA
AND AN UPPER TROUGH IS APPROACHING FROM THE WEST. GENERAL COOLING
ALOFT WILL BE AIDED BY A SHORT WAVE TO BREAK A MID LEVEL CAP LATE
THIS AFTERNOON.  EXPECT THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP OVER THE WEST AND
THEN SPREAD INTO THE CENTRAL LATER THIS EVENING.  CAPES ARE
SIGNIFICANT AND SOME STORMS COULD HAVE DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE
HAIL. ALSO...THE SYSTEM WILL BE MOVING QUITE SLOW TO THE EAST
TONIGHT...AND THERE MAY BE TRAINING OF STORMS AS THEY MOVE
NORTHEAST. SOME AREAS OF CENTRAL ND WERE DELUGED A FEW DAYS AGO
AND SOILS LIKELY REMAIN SATURATED.

THE UPPER TROUGH WILL EXIT THE AREA MONDAY AFTERNOON.  THEN THE
UPPER RIDGE WILL REBOUND AND BRING A RETURN OF DRY WEATHER WITH
ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES THROUGH WEDNESDAY.

.LONG TERM...THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT.
FEW CHANGES IN THE LONG TERM PERIOD. CONTINUED UNCERTAINTY ON UPPER
LEVEL PATTERN TOWARDS THE END OF THE WEEK AND INTO THE WEEKEND. HAVE
ADDED LOW POPS FOR TIME PERIODS THAT LOOK TO HAVE THE BEST CHANCE OF
PRECIP...BUT KEPT WEATHER MENTION OUT FOR NOW. GFS LONG AND DGEX NOW
BRING IN A SHORT WAVE INTO THE NORTHERN CONUS. PLACEMENT RIGHT NOW
IS WELL TO THE EAST AND WOULDT HAVE MUCH OF AN IMPACT ON WESTERN
AND CENTRAL ND WEATHER BESIDES A COOLING TREND.  12Z GFS80 HAS A
HIGHER AMPLITUDE TROUGH AND BRINGS IT RIGHT OVER THE FORECAST AREA.
SO...WELL HOLD OFF ONCE AGAIN ON ANY MAJOR CHANGES UNTIL MODELS
BECOME BETTER AGREEABLE IN LATER RUNS.
