AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION.CORRECTION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EASTERN ND/GRAND FORKS ND 330 AM CDT THU JUN 2 2005 ...MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGE CONCERNS CONTINUED CONVECTIVE AND HEAVY RAIN THREAT DURING NEXT FEW DAYS... .CURRENT OBSERVATIONAL OVERVIEW... 07Z SURFACE ANALYSIS DEPICTED DEEP LOW PRESSURE OVER WESTERN NORTH DAKOTA WITH RESULTANT TIGHT SOUTHEAST PRESSURE GRADIENT FROM THE RED RIVER VALLEY WEST. STRONGEST PRESSURE FALLS NOTED OVER SOUTHEAST SASK PROVINCE SUGGESTING LOW CENTER SHOULD TAKE A NORTH TO NORTHEAST TRACK DURING THE REMAINDER OF THIS MORNING. LATEST WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWED POWERFUL 250MB 90KT JET MAX PUNCHING NORTHEAST INTO CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA WITH WESTERN PART OF THE STATE IN FAVORABLE LEFT EXIT REGION (INDIRECT TRANSVERSE CIRCULATION) WHERE RESULTANT UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE IS ENHANCING OVERALL LARGE SCALE ASCENT. EXAMINATION OF RADAR MOSAIC PAINTED MOST OF CONVECTION/SOME SEVERE OVER WESTERN NORTH DAKOTA LIFTING NORTHEAST INTO CANADA. ADDITIONAL BAND OF NON SEVERE CONVECTION WAS RIDING NORTHWARD FROM EASTERN SOUTH DAKOTA. .SHORT TERM... LITTLE CHANGE TO UNSETTLED WEATHER PATTERN EXPECTED INTO THE UPCOMING WEEKEND AS VERTICALLY STACKED LOW OVER SOUTHEAST SASK PROVINCE STAYS PINCHED OFF FROM WESTERLIES AND SHOWS LITTLE MOVEMENT UNTIL FINALLY WEAKENING INTO AN OPEN WAVE ON SATURDAY. MODELS HAVING TROUBLE WITH EVENTUAL PLACEMENT/MOVEMENT OF BOUNDARY AS SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT IMPEDES ANY SIGNIFICANT EASTWARD PUSH. BASED ON THIS APPEARS CWFA IN STORE FOR A PROLONGED CONVECTIVE/HEAVY RAIN THREAT INTO SATURDAY. AT THIS TIME IT APPEARS AREAS FROM RED RIVER VALLEY EAST AT GREATEST RISK AND WILL ADDRESS POP CHANCES THAT ROUTE. PROJECTED INSTABILITY PARAMETERS TODAY INTO SATURDAY SUGGEST THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME SEVERE STORMS ALONG WITH LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS AS POTENTIAL TRAINING OF STORMS EXISTS IN SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. NAM MUCH MORE ROBUST THAN GFS ON INSTABILITY DURING NEXT FEW DAYS. AT THIS POINT WILL TAKE THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD ROUTE AND KEEP CONVECTION GOING INTO SATURDAY BUT BACK OFF ON SEVERE THREAT SOMEWHAT. HOWEVER IF NAM SCENARIO DOES PAN OUT WE WILL BE LOOKING AT A TOTALLY DIFFERENT GAME. BY SUNDAY THINGS MIGHT FINALLY CALM DOWN AS UPPER LEVEL FLOW BECOMES MORE WESTERLY IN NATURE WHICH HELPS TO FINALLY KICK BOUNDARY EAST. WILL UPDATE ESF FOR HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL TODAY INTO SATURDAY. HOWEVER OVERALL MODEL QPF/HPC VALUES HAVE TRENDED DOWNWARD DURING THE PAST DAY. && .FGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... ND...ESF ISSUED THROUGH SATURDAY FOR HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL.
