.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 350 AM CDT Wed May 14 2025
...Synopsis...
The record breaking heat and critical fire weather conditions
over the area since Sunday are on their way out. One more warm
to hot day over eastern ND and northwest and west central MN,
but winds today considerably lighter and RH values not nearly
as low as past days.
Upper low moving from central/northern California into southern
Wyoming by late today will then move north-northeast to be near
Aberdeen SD by 00z Fri. Surface low forms in western Nebraska
and takes nearly the same track as the sfc and upper level low
becomes nearly stacked over southeast ND Thursday night and only
slowly moves east on Friday. System will pull off to the east
this weekend, but clouds and some lingering precip may continue
into Saturday. A brief break between systems, then another upper
low moves from the Rockies into the Plains Monday into the
middle of next week.
...Thunderstorm potential Wednesday night...
Lead shortwave will be coming into western Nebraska by 00z Thu.
Frontal boundary between northwest-north wind and south wind
will remain nearly stationary from about Hallock to just
west/north of Grand Forks to about Carrington ND. As the lead
short wave and eventual surface low form in western Nebraska
late today, do look for a southeast wind to increase ahead of it
from Nebraska thru central SD and into central ND this evening.
A narrow zone of mid to upper 50 dew pts will be in place
roughly from Huron SD to Bismarck ND. MUCAPE though really
struggles to reach 1000 j/kg by late this aftn/evening.
Sufficient instability for a few strong/severe storms within
this higher dew point zone very late today and more so this
evening. During the night a few storms and showers will track
east and northeast into SE ND, but very marginal conditions for
any strong/severe storms due to lack of 0-6km bulk shear and
weak instability.
...Widespread rain Wednesday night through Friday...
Precipitation as the upper low wraps up over the Plains
Thursday, and wobbles into MN by Friday, then exits off into
the Great Lakes by Saturday. All areas will receive rain from
this within the period from Thursday thru Friday night. But all
signs point to areas of the western fcst area and into
central/western ND to get much heavier rainfall from the
deformation zone that develops Thursday into Thursday night.
Probs from the NBM of 1 inch or more of rain remain 60 pct in
eastern ND but drop off quickly farther east to 30 percent at
Bemidji. This is for the 48 hour period 00z Thu to 00z Sat.

.AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z THURSDAY/...
Issued at 640 AM CDT Wed May 14 2025
Most of eastern North Dakota and northwest Minnesota should see VFR
conditions through the forecast period. Showers and thunderstorms
are forecast to increase in coverage west of the Red River Valley
later this afternoon through the evening. Only mention of TS for
this set of TAFs is at KDVL where MVFR ceilings could also push into
the area later tonight. If a storm does move over a terminal, IFR to
LIFR visibility reduction from heavy rain and gusty erratic winds
can be expected. Winds today will mostly be out of the south-
southeast around 10-20 kts, with some higher gusts across eastern
North Dakota. For areas near and to the northeast of Devils Lake,
wind direction is more likely to be northeast to east today and
tonight.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 350 AM CDT Wed May 14 2025
Less wind today, not as hot temperatures, and higher dew
points/RH values will limit the severity of fire weather
conditions today, as compared to the past 3 days. Near critical
fire weather conditions mainly due to RH near or just less than
25 pct will occur in parts of NW MN and eastern ND this
afternoon. Fire weather concerns diminish after today due to
increased moisture.
