AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BISMARCK ND 240 PM CDT SAT JUN 3 2006 .SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT FRONT AT 19Z WAS NEARING A WILLISTON-HETTINGER LINE AND PROGRESSING INTO MORE UNSTABLE AIR. SHOWALTER INDEX THIS EVENING IS FORECAST TO BE IN THE -3 TO -5 RANGE OVER SOUTH CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA WITH LIFTED INDICES IN THE SAME RANGE. THE BRN (BULK RICHARDSON NUMBER) FORECAST FOR THE EVENING LOOKS TO BE SUPPORTING MORE OF A MULTICELLULAR TYPE FOR STORMS OVER SUPERCELLULAR. THE SWEAT (SEVERE WEATHER THREAT) INDEX SUGGESTS THE BETTER CHANCES FOR SEVERE WEATHER TO BE JUST EAST OF BISMARCK...THROUGH THE JAMESTOWN AREA...AND INTO SOUTH DAKOTA. THIS IS REASONABLE BASED PARTIALLY ON HIGHER LOW LEVEL MOISTURE. WILL KEEP THUNDERSTORM CHANCES IN FOR TONIGHT...POSSIBLY SEVERE CENTRAL AND EAST...BEST CHANCES AS STATED ABOVE. AS FRONT PUSHES THROUGH WESTERN NORTH DAKOTA THE RISK OF STORMS WILL DECREASE AS THE EVENING WEARS ON FROM WILLISTON TO DICKINSON. FRONT IS FORECAST TO WASH OUT IN THE EAST BEFORE THE NEXT ONE KICKS THE ENTIRE SYSTEM EAST SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY. MOST OF SUNDAY LOOKS DRY...BETWEEN FRONTS...FOLLOWED BY THE NEXT RISK SUNDAY NIGHT. AS THAT SUNDAY NIGHT FRONT SHIFTS ACROSS THE STATE IT ENCOUNTERS LESS UNSTABLE AIR. WILL EXPECT STORMS TO FIRE IN MONTANA LATE SUNDAY AND WEAKEN AS THEY MOVE INTO CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA. TEMPERATURES 5 TO 10 DEGREES ON THE HIGH SIDE OF NORMAL THROUGH THE SHORT TERM. .LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY THE H500 RIDGE IS STRONG ACROSS THE CENTRAL CONUS AS A LARGE LONGWAVE LOW/TROUGH IS OFF THE WEST COAST OF NORTH AMERICA.
