NWS Grand Forks, ND wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Apr 22, 11:42 PM CST, 18 minutes earlier. Its key messages:
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Grand Forks ND 1242 AM CDT Tue Apr 23 2024 .KEY MESSAGES... - The probability for widespread hazardous weather through Sunday is low (less than 10%). Scattered rain showers and breezy conditions will continue through tonight into Tuesday. && .UPDATE... Issued at 1239 AM CDT Tue Apr 23 2024 Much of previous update discussion remains valid for this update. Scattered showers are still present across the area. UPDATE Issued at 1038 PM CDT Mon Apr 22 2024 There still remains scattered light rain showers across the area. This will continue tonight into Tuesday with the help of an upper low pushing out of Canada into North Dakota and Minnesota. UPDATE Issued at 733 PM CDT Mon Apr 22 2024 Thunderstorms near Lake of the Woods were observed to deposit small hail at Morris Point, along with mPing report of pea sized hail near Roosevelt. However, this area of thunderstorms has recently exited our area into Ontario. The chance for additional hail and convectively driven wind gusts over 50 mph is very low (less than 10%) heading into this evening. Starting to see RH values creep up as the sun starts to set. While this will mark the lessening of critical fire weather conditions, gusty winds will continue through the night turning more out of the north as a front moves through this evening. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 328 PM CDT Mon Apr 22 2024 Seeing a few different areas of precipitation now. The light morning showers that moved through the Valley extend from Lake of the Woods to near Fosston. Another batch has formed over the northern Red River Valley and the last area is moving into north central North Dakota. The only lightning strikes so far have been north of the 500mb low near Dauphin Manitoba. However, a few rumbles of thunder are possible yet late this afternoon into the early evening, mainly across the Devils Lake basin and northern Valley. Then lingering showers are anticipated mainly along and north of Interstate 94 overnight. There was a dry surge into the central and northern Valley this afternoon, with temperatures into the mid to upper 60s and west winds gusting to 30 to 35 mph. Because of this, expanded the Red Flag Warning into the entire Red River Valley (see the Fire Weather section below). The gusty winds should begin to decrease again around or after dark. As the 500mb low tracks into northern Minnesota very late tonight into Tuesday morning, there will be a secondary push of 925mb cold advection. Therefore surface winds will increase again late tonight into Tuesday morning, and continue to be gusty through the day Tuesday. These winds could approach Wind Advisory criteria, but at this point think they will be just below criteria. Brief 500mb ridging pushes in Wednesday into Thursday, so will have to keep an eye on fire weather parameters both these days too. At this point, Wednesday looks like the lower humidity day, while Thursday has stronger winds (both don't line up together). A wetter period arrives by Thursday night and beyond, as northern and southern stream lows eject out into the Northern Plains in some sort of southwest flow. There are still a lot of uncertainties with how this may evolve. At this point, the higher probabilities for precipitation look to be across southeast North Dakota into west central Minnesota, but stay tuned for later forecasts. && .AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z WEDNESDAY/... Issued at 1239 AM CDT Tue Apr 23 2024 Gusty winds over 20kt will continue into tonight into Tuesday, turning from westerly to northwesterly and northerly between before 14Z. Scattered rain showers will also continue tonight into Tuesday. VFR CIGs turn MVFR to IFR through 12Z, lasting through 18Z. Ceilings are forecast to break up after 18Z turning more scattered by 21Z. Winds become calm and variable below 6kt after 00Z as well. && .FGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... ND...None. MN...None. && UPDATE...CJ DISCUSSION...Godon AVIATION...CJ
