Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Grand Forks ND
215 PM CDT Mon Jun 20 2022

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Tuesday night)
Issued at 215 PM CDT Mon Jun 20 2022

Severe storm threat the main challenge as highlighed by the SPC
outlook and mesoscale discussions. To summarize SPC, we now have a
better idea of what is possible this afternoon into the early
morning hours. Appears to be 2 rounds of severe storm potential.
Satellite and radar indicate the boundary of concern for the first
round across SE ND into NW MN. As forcing from an upper wave
approaching from South Dakota overrides this boundary, anticipate
storms to initiate. This area will be in a favorable zone of
instability (MLCAPE 3000-4000 J/KG) and effective layer shear
(40-50 knots) for organized storms. Effective SRH is weaker so not
sure about supercell potential, but anticipate at least a
multicell severe storm threat will severe hail, wind, tornadoes,
and flash flooding all possible. Storm motion anticipated to be
parallel to the boundary, so anticipate linear mode/cold pool
development with some sort of complex into NW MN becoming mainly a
wind threat. The next round will be associated with a stronger
upper wave/upper jet that will arrive after 03z or so. This would
bring the potential for some sort of convective complex with 80+
mph winds the main threat, likely where instability remains after
the first round of severe (SE ND into WC MN).

Upper low propgates north of the region tomorrow, which should
limit any impacts across our region. Will be windy and will need
to consider wind advisory, plus any showers or potential
convection across NE ND and NW MN.

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Monday)
Issued at 215 PM CDT Mon Jun 20 2022

The extended forecast period looks to offer opportunities for
several types of impactful weather, ranging from strong to severe
tstms to another round of extreme heat.

Wed will feature nothing but a (near) windless summer day with high
temps near seasonal values from the upper 70s to mid 80s, before a
series of troughs badgers the region with chances for tstms during
the period from Thu through Sat. Main upper trough would look to be
east of the area by Sun.

Looking at temps, upper ridging is expected to redevelop in the
Southern Plains, and likely develop its crest into the Northern
Plains, but not nearly as amplified as the current upper ridge over
the region. This is well reflected by the clustered guidance
solutions. A dome of warmth underneath this ridge should reach into
the Northern Plains by Thu/Fri, likely reintroducing temps into the
90s. This is illustrated by NBM's 70 to 80% chance of at least 90F
within the RRV, at least for Thu. It remains unclear at this time
the magnitude of the moisture that will come with this heat, and
will likely drive potential impacts assoc with this heat.

By late weekend into early next week, northwest flow will become
established over the region, leading to mainly dry weather and near
seasonable temps.

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Tuesday afternoon)
Issued at 108 PM CDT Mon Jun 20 2022

Convection will be the main aviation challenge this period,
especially this afternoon into tonight. Coverage is still very
uncertain, so went VCTS where best potential exists, and will
update later as confidence increases. MVFR cigs possible later
tonight across DVL, GFK, TVF, BJI areas.
