Area forecast discussion, Jul 5, 2:38 PM CST, 4 hours 22 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BISMARCK ND 338 PM CDT TUE JUL 5 2005 .SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT. MAIN PROBLEM IN THE SHORT TERM WILL BE AFTERNOON AND NIGHTTIME CONVECTION CHANCES. OVERALL MODELS PRETTY SIMILAR ON PLACEMENT OF THE SURFACE TROUGH BUT WILL LEAN TOWARD THE GFS FOR DETAILS. CURRENTLY SURFACE TROUGH OVER EASTERN MONTANA WITH QUITE WARM AND UNSTABLE AIRMASS OVER WESTERN NORTH DAKOTA. WILL KEEP AND EYE ON LATEST SAT AND RADAR AS WE DID HAVE A SLIGHT CHANCE OF TRW THIS AFTERNOON BUT NOTHING THIS EVENING AS OF YET. MAY THROW IN SOME SMALL POPS. WARMUP CONTINUES WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY WITH TEMPERATURES LIKELY APPROACHING THE MID 90S ACROSS MUCH OF THE WEST. WE WILL BE UNSTABLE EACH AFTERNOON WITH INCREASING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE. PROBLEM IS THAT WE WILL LIKELY BE CAPPED AS 579 THICKNESS LIFTS THROUGH THE CWA. BEST BET FOR SIGNIFICANT CONVECTION APPEARS TO BE THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT. A WEAK COLD FRONT MOVES INTO THE WEST BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND LINGERS OVER THE AREA THROUGH FRIDAY. FRONTAL CONVERGENCE AND A SLIGHTLY WEAKENED CAP MAY BE ENOUGH FOR SOMETHING TO FIRE ACROSS THE NORTH AND RIDE AS BOTH NAM/GFS SHOW SOME SHORTWAVE FLATTENING THE RIDGE. BESIDES THE SMALL CONVECTION CHANCES IT LOOKS WARM AND HUMID WITH ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES. VERY LITTLE ADJUSTMENT MADE TO THE SHORT TERM TEMPERATURES. .LONG TERM...SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING. MADE VERY FEW CHANGES TO THE EXTENDED FORECAST PACKAGE. LONG RANGE MODELS CONTINUE TO INDICATE RIDGE BREAKING DOWN WITH A SHORT WAVE AND FRONTAL PASSAGE SUNDAY NIGHT. LEFT POPS AND WX GRIDS FOR THIS TIME PERIOD ALONE. AFTERWARDS...ZONAL FLOW SETTING UP EARLY TO MID NEXT WEEK WITH NO SIGNIFICANT FEATURES MOVING THROUGH THE NORTHERN PLAINS THAT WOULD WARRANT MODIFYING POPS AT THIS TIME. WILL SEE A SLIGHT COOLING TREND BEGINNING EARLY NEXT WEEK. && .BIS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && TWH/NH
