Area forecast discussion, Jun 20, 2:30 PM CST, 11 hours 35 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BISMARCK ND 330 PM CDT MON JUN 20 2005 .SHORT TERM... MULTIPLE OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES SETTING UP ACROSS SOUTH DAKOTA INTO EASTERN MONTANA. EXPECT ANOTHER NOCTURNAL MCS TO FORM AND MOVE ACROSS SOUTHERN NORTH DAKOTA LATE TONIGHT AND TUESDAY. THIS HAS BECOME A PATTERN OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS WITH EVER INCREASING MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY. HOWEVER...BY WEDNESDAY...H5 RIDGE AND 700 MB WARMING WILL LIMIT THE CONVECTION...UNTIL WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY MORNING WITH WEAK COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE. WILL SEE WARM TEMPS ON WEDNESDAY...MID TO UPPER 90S..COOLER THURSDAY WITH READINGS BACK INTO THE 80S. .LONG TERM... OUR MEAN PATTERN WILL REMAIN RELATIVELY UNCHANGED DURING THE EXTENDED PERIOD AS SOME SEMBLANCE OF AN UPPER LVL TROUGH WILL REMAIN OFF THE NW U.S. COAST WITH OUR FA IN SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT. AS CAN BE EXPECTED...A LEE TROUGH WILL FORM TO OUR WEST AND HELP MAINTAIN THE LL MOISTURE AND RESULTANT INSTABILITY NECESSARY FOR PERIODIC THUNDER CHANCES AS S/WS MOVE THROUGH THE FLOW. THE TIMING OF SUCH WAVES IS BELOW THE RESOLUTION OF AVAILABLE MODEL DATA...BUT THE SYNOPTIC ENVIRONMENT CERTAINLY INDICATES A BETTER RISK OF STORMS DURING THE NIGHTTIME PERIODS AS MID LEVEL CAPPING WEAKENS AND THE CONVECTION WHICH FORMS ON THE HIGHER TERRAIN TO OUR WEST MAKES ITS WAY EASTWARD. AS A RESULT...WE QUESTION THE EXTENT OF THE GFSS DRY SCENARIO FOR LATE IN THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. IN THE TEMP DEPARTMENT...REVIEW OF THE LAST SEVERAL RUNS OF THE GFS CONTINUES TO SUGGEST THAT H85 TEMPS WILL REMAIN IN THE 20S CELSIUS AND 1000-500 MB THICKNESSES IN THE 570S DAM...WHICH CORRELATES WELL WITH THE LATEST MEX GUIDANCE AND OUR GOING FORECAST. && .BIS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && WAA/CJS/CP
