KEY MESSAGES
- Chance (30%) for minor impacts Friday into Friday night due to snow and mixed precipitation.
UPDATE
Issued at 1226 PM CDT Thu Mar 28 2024
We continue to see plentiful sunshine across the area helping to bring temperatures into the low to mid 30s. Higher level clouds continue to move in from the west overspreading the area later this evening.
UPDATE
Issued at 1001 AM CDT Thu Mar 28 2024
Sunny skies across the region today, with light winds. This is helping bring temperatures into the 20s this morning, with highs expected in the mid to upper 30s. Higher level clouds are moving in on the back side of a high level ridge toward our west.
Temperatures have the potential to reach into the lower 40s this afternoon where skies remain sunny and snow cover is limited.
UPDATE
Issued at 546 AM CDT Thu Mar 28 2024
The clouds have pretty much cleared the Lake of the Woods region now, so all areas will start the day sunny. The main surface ridge axis is just west of the Red River Valley, where winds were light. Temperatures were also in the single digits there. For all other areas, speeds were still in the 5 to 10 mph range.
These will probably stay in that range through at least the rest of the morning.
DISCUSSION
Issued at 347 AM CDT Thu Mar 28 2024
The FA is currently between departing low pressure over the eastern FA and high pressure over the western FA. Still seeing cloud cover around the Lake of the Woods region with somewhat breezy conditions. Meanwhile, absolutely clear skies were observed elsewhere, with light winds across central North Dakota. Still expect a chilly morning across the FA, but especially west of the Red River Valley. Today will be the break from active weather, with sunny skies and mostly light winds.
For the areas that received little new snow (the Devils Lake region into the northern Red River Valley), afternoon humidity levels will be low again (potentially upper 20s and lower 30s percent). But as mentioned, wind speeds will remain low.
For tonight, clouds will begin to increase from west to east, as winds turn back around to the southeast and pick up as well.
Precipitation associated with the next system will begin to arrive across the Devils Lake to Valley City to Gwinner corridor very late. This precipitation will spread across the rest of the FA (except around the Lake of the Woods region) around or after sunrise, but likely taking until late morning or early afternoon in the Lake of the Woods area. The forcing for this system continues to look pretty strong yet transient, which means there could be good snowfall rates for about a 3-6 hour period, mainly along and north of the highway 200 corridor. The main forcing will be a 700mb wave, warm advection, and frontogenesis, which lift from southwest to northeast through the FA. For the area along and north of highway 200, NBM probabilities for 1 inch or more of snow have increased to around 70 percent, with probabilities for 4 inches or more up to about 30 percent. QPF amounts for this area have also risen, to around 0.25 inches.
The other concern with this Friday into Friday night system is mixed precipitation. 925mb temperatures around 0 work up especially into areas along and south of the highway 200 corridor. Model soundings still show the potential for a little freezing rain or ice pellets, just about across the entire FA.
The HRRR ensemble mean precipitation type shows mainly snow, but some pockets of freezing rain. NBM probabilities for 0.01 or more of ice along and south of highway 200 look pretty similar to yesterday, about 10 to 15 percent. So it looks like the Friday morning commute for most of the FA would be affected by this, so will increase messaging somewhat to highlight this event. Otherwise, there was a possible second event showing up sometime in the Saturday through Monday time frame. The FA would remain between the stronger southern stream ejecting waves and a weaker northern stream wave crossing southern Canada. At the moment, precipitation chances, which were pretty low anyway, have diminished even more. Will keep an eye on this time period, but at this point any impacts should mainly stay to the north and south. Otherwise, there is a warming trend on the horizon, and the strength of the sun is noticeably stronger, so will be slowly melting snow again.
AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z FRIDAY/
Issued at 1226 PM CDT Thu Mar 28 2024
Sunny skies with VFR conditions this afternoon and evening.
Winds remain light and variable, becoming sustained out of the SE post 00z. Clouds start to move into the area post 00z, but remain higher and ceilings continue as VFR. Cloud coverage becomes OVC post 6z, with snow moving in from the west near 10z for DVL, GFK, TVF, and FAR. Snow continues to spread eastward post TAF period. FZDZ is possible around 10-14z for DVL, GFK, and FAR, but chances are less than 20 percent. Confidence remains low on the FZDZ. Ceilings reach MVFR for DVL near the end of the TAF period.
