Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Grand Forks ND
324 PM CST Sun Dec 5 2021
.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Monday night)
Issued at 256 PM CST Sun Dec 5 2021
Low pressure at 20z east of Fargo and just southwest of Detroit
Lakes moving east. Upper low just east of Grand Forks. There will
continue to be light snow around the upper low as it moves east
with light snow ending in RRV by mid evening and in the far east
after midnight. Seeing winds turning north in the RRV and E ND at
mid aftn with gusts into the 25-30 kt range.
Question remains blizzard potential. Blowing snow model has 60
percent chance of vsbys to 1/2SM in the mid RRV 00z-04z. Max winds
low level reach 40 kts for mixing per soundings but as 930 mb and
below cool there remains a steep inversion and warm layer up thru
850 mb this evening and the 850 mb layer doesnt cool until
overnight. But by then the mixed layer winds are not as strong. So
if there is a time when the colder air first comes in and low
level winds are 40 kts is when blizzard conditions are most likely
and this would look to be 04-05z. So a 1-3 hour period of
widespread vsbys 1/4sm or less seem at least possible (50 percent
chance). At the time of this snow is not expected to be falling.
However will need to watch arctic front as some light snow is
progged with it into central ND and there is light snow upstream
near Brandon and thru SW Manitoba.
Net result of all this is the office consensus to continue winter
storm warning. Main snow is done, but impacts from still falling
snow combined with wind warrants keeping warning thru valid time
of 06z. If conditions are worse and more widespread, then
blizzard warnings can be issued (40 percent chance of that
happening).
Very cold overnight and wind chills drop into the -25 to -35F
range by 09z-14z in NE ND, nrn RRV. Wind chill advisories likely
needed but will hold until this storm event is done.
Cold day Monday with highs single digits above.
.LONG TERM...(Tuesday through Sunday)
Issued at 256 PM CST Sun Dec 5 2021
.LONG TERM...(Tuesday through Saturday)
Overview...
Aside from a chance for light snow in the north on Thursday and in
the south on Friday, impactful weather is not anticipated throughout
the remainder of the long term period. Otherwise, a gradual warming
trend will be the story for the week ahead into next weekend.
Discussion...
Synoptically, northwesterly flow aloft looks to continue through
midweek. At the surface, this flow pattern will be accompanied by
generally quiet weather and a gradual warming trend. While Tuesday
is expected to remain cold with highs in the teens, with southerly
return flow inching into the region, warmer, near normal,
temperatures are anticipated moving into Wednesday. A quick moving
shortwave and its attendant cold front may introduce a glancing blow
of light snow to portions of the northern forecast area on Thursday.
Ensemble guidance is in varied agreement on this solution and as a
result, we are looking at a roughly 20-30% chance for some light
snow with this system. Following this system, ensemble guidance is
picking up on an upper trough that looks to traverse the central
Plains. While main impacts should remain to the south of the
forecast area, some light snow impacts cannot be ruled out for those
south of the I-94 corridor on Friday. However, confidence in the
exact track of this trough and its precipitation impacts is low at
this time. As the main upper trough exits the region, zonal flow
looks to take its place. This will lead to yet another quiet pattern
with varying degrees of gradual warming moving into the weekend.

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Monday afternoon)
Issued at 1216 PM CST Sun Dec 5 2021
Varying vsbys in the 1/2 to 3SM range thru the evening with
ceilings mostly in the 1000-2000 ft agl range. Winds east turning
more northeast then north thru the aftn/eve with gusts 30 kts plus
in E ND/RRV this evening. Overall better conditions by 12z Mon.
