NWS Bismarck, ND wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 6, 1:10 PM CST, 11 hours 50 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BISMARCK ND 210 PM CDT MON JUN 6 2005 .SHORT TERM... MAIN CONCERN IS SEVERE WEATHER AND FLASH FLOODING TONIGHT. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE IS STREAMING INTO THE REGION AHEAD OF A DEVELOPING SURFACE LOW. CAPES WILL BE RISING THIS AFTERNOON AND A LOW LEVEL JET WILL MOVE INTO THE STATE THIS EVENING. EXPECT THUNDERSTORMS TO BEGIN IN THE FAR WEST BEFORE SUNSET. NORTH CENTRAL AND NORTHWEST NORTH DAKOTA HAS THE HIGHEST RISK OF HEAVY RAIN AND FLOODING. THE ETA AND GFS MODELS SHOW MAXIMUM CONVERGENCE AND THE MOST QPF JUST NORTH OF A SURFACE LOW CENTER. THE THREAT OF SEVERE WEATHER WILL CONTINUE INTO TUESDAY FOR CENTRAL ND. SHORT WAVES WILL COMBINE WITH A LINGERING SURFACE LOW TO MAINTAIN A POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. THEN A PERSISTENT SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL MAINTAIN A GOOD CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. .LONG TERM... FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT...MADE VERY FEW CHANGES TO THE EXTENDED FORECAST PACKAGE AS INHERITED FORECAST LOOKING GOOD. LATEST GFS80 SOLUTION CONTINUES TO DEVELOP AN UPPER LOW OVER MT ON SUNDAY. THIS WILL BRING THE BEST CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS TO THE REGION SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY EVENING AS THE NORTHERN PLAINS FALLS UNDER VERY GOOD UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE AND DECENT MOISTURE ADVECTION. && .BIS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... ...FLASH FLOOD WATCH NORTHWEST AND NORTH CENTRAL ND FROM 9 PM CDT THIS EVENING TO 6 AM CDT TUESDAY MORNING... && LM/NH
