Grand Forks Weather

[Mr. Rainman]

A slight risk of severe thunderstorms exists today across Grand Forks, although excess cloudiness in our area should limit the most significant weather to stay to our southwest, where instability and moisture content is better. Regardless, damaging winds, large hail with a few stones greater than 2 inches, and a tornado are possible today.

I will be at the airport the majority of the day today, and from the cafe there visibility is about 10-20 miles on a good day. If they come at the right time I should have some good pictures later tonight.

On a side note, once the cold front blows through, temperatures will be very, very low for early August. The forecast high for tomorrow is a mere 68, 14 degrees below average.

[Mr. Rainman]

After the impressive winds today, winds will lighten up and skies will clear, which will allow for a perfect setup for a rapid cool down and the formation of frost. A Frost Advisory is in effect until 9 AM Thursday.

Lows the next two nights should also be on the chilly side, with temperatures in the upper 30s. A nice warm up is expected from a thermal ridge through Saturday before a significant trough moves through and brings another shot...and potentially long lasting...of cooler air. Highs should range from the upper 50s to low 60s beyond Saturday.

Looks like fall is here - cold enough to warrant a jacket but not enough to make it snow...yet.

[Mr. Rainman]

Couple reports of frost did come through yesterday and with an even cooler night forecast for tonight, we can expect for frost for almost the entire eastern half of North Dakota.  A Frost Advisory is once again in effect - text is posted below.

Low tonight 35.

[Mr. Rainman]

It is getting close to the time of year when people start talking snow up in North Dakota. Normally, we do not get any real accumulations until late October or early November. However, there is a decent chance at seeing some snowfall accumulations - albeit light - in Grand Forks and areas to our north late this week as a weak low pressure system slides north across Minnesota - following the pattern of a Colorado Low.

NWS Grand Forks does not mention snow in our forecast as surface temperatures will be on the warm side and should melt any snow that does fall. However, there is still quite a bit of uncertainty on the table. HPC does have decent 1 inch snowfall probs for us and areas north, as will as a significant snowfall contour for 4 inches or more for the same area (Almost zero faith in that forecast as it relies on very specific parameters to be met). Maps are attached below.

For the record, if snowfall does fall this week across Grand Forks, it will break the record for earliest recorded snowfall accumulations in the city, according to NWS records dating back to 1981. The earliest day that saw snowfall accumulations of 0.1 inches or greater was October 26th. The earliest 1 inch accumulation was November 9th.

[Mr. Rainman]

From the National Weather Service...potential for significant snowfall accumulations and blowing snow across the Northern Red River Valley and Northwest Minnesota.

...POTENTIAL EARLY SEASON SNOW EVENT WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY...

THERE IS INCREASING POTENTIAL FOR AN EARLY SEASON WINTER STORM
THAT COULD PRODUCE SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO
THURSDAY MORNING. LOW PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS THE
CENTRAL PLAINS AND INTO MINNESOTA WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY.
RAINFALL WILL ACCOMPANY THE SYSTEM ON WEDNESDAY...HOWEVER THERE IS
INCREASING POTENTIAL FOR RAINFALL CHANGING OVER TO SNOW AFTER
MIDNIGHT WEDNESDAY NIGHT. WHILE WARM SURFACE TEMPERATURES WILL
MELT THE SNOW EARLY IN THE EVENT...THE PROLONGED NATURE OF THE
EVENT WILL INCREASE THE CHANCE FOR ACCUMULATING SNOW THURSDAY
MORNING. AT THE CURRENT TIME...WEATHER MODELS ARE TARGETING THE
NORTHERN RED RIVER VALLEY AND PARTS OF NORTHWEST MINNESOTA.
IF SNOW RATES ARE HIGH ENOUGH...THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR RAPIDLY
ACCUMULATING AND BLOWING SNOW. HOWEVER THERE IS STILL A LARGE
DEGREE OF UNCERTAINTY ON THE EXACT TRACK OF THIS SYSTEM.

THIS SYSTEM COULD PARTICULARLY IMPACT THE THURSDAY MORNING COMMUTE.

STAY TUNED TO THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FOR FUTURE UPDATES ON
THIS POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS SYSTEM.

Well, snow turned back to rain this afternoon as the temperature climbed into the upper 30s, so snow totals were a lot less than forecast. Regardless, the recording of 3.5 inches this afternoon on campus is one of the earliest 1 inch or greater accumulations in the history of the city.
