Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Grand Forks ND
233 PM CDT Tue Jun 13 2017

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Wednesday)
Issued at 230 PM CDT Tue Jun 13 2017

Coverage and location of severe storms this afternoon/evening main
challenge and impacts through the short term.

Still monitoring storm potential as several scenarios could play
out affecting severe storms and associated hazards. Surface low
remains over se SD with warm front through east central SD into s
MN. Some model guidance lifts the low into se ND however Clouds
over ne SD may be hindering northward progress of low. this would
lessen the significant tornado threat somewhat. Another scenario
could be development along a boundary or pseudo dry line initially
over se ND mid late afternoon developing northward through the
evening. Tornadoes could initially develop however this case would
be more supportive of a large hail and damaging wind event. In
either case will continue to monitor conditions closely. Storms
will continue to propagate east through evening weakening late
this evening.

Wednesday for the most part should be dry other than some
lingering shra over the far ne in the morning and across the far
north in wrap around later in the afternoon. highs will be close
to average.

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday night through Tuesday)
Issued at 230 PM CDT Tue Jun 13 2017

The extended period begins with zonal flow over the area in the wake
of a departed low pressure system, with the jet beginning to sag
south of the area. Expect a few disturbances to move through the
flow bringing chances for more precipitation.

By Saturday, low pressure develops south of the forecast area with
the greatest risk for pcpn across South Dakota and southern
Minnesota. Upper level low pressure crossing North Dakota will
provide sufficient lift to trigger showers across the area. By
Sunday, conditions will be a bit more tranquil.

Otherwise, temperatures through the end of the period will generally
stay on the warm side, with upper 70s to low 80s for highs.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Wednesday afternoon)
Issued at 1246 PM CDT Tue Jun 13 2017

Main challenge will be timing and coverage of storms and related
vsby and cigs. Uncertainty continues as to timing and coverage of
storms. Clearing this am beginning to fill in with mvfr cigs which
could impact storm coverage. Followed the HRRR on development
however will likely see changes through the period as storms
develop.
