AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND FORKS ND
945 AM CST FRI DEC 11 2009

.DISCUSSION...
FORECAST CHALLENGE CONCERNS MAINLY WIND CHILL HEADLINES AND 
TEMPERATURES. COMBINATION OF RISING TEMPERATURES AND LOW WIND SPEEDS 
HAVE TAKEN WIND CHILLS OUT OF CRITERIA RANGE AND WILL BE ABLE TO 
CANCEL HEADLINES WITH UPDATE. OTHERWISE RESPECTABLE WARM ADVECTION 
TODAY WITH FAVORABLE S-SW SURFACE FLOW. THIS SHOULD ALLOW 
TEMPERATURES TO RISE ABOVE ZERO ACROSS MOST AREAS. PATCHY CLOUD 
COVER ACROSS NORTH HALF WILL ALSO HELP INSULATE AND MODERATE 
TEMPERATURES. MAY NUDGE TEMPERATURES DOWNWARD TO AROUND ZERO ACROSS 
INTERNATIONAL BORDER AREA BUT OTHERWISE WILL LET CURRENT VALUES 
RIDE. WILL MAKE SOME OTHER ADJUSTMENTS TO SKY COVER BASED ON CURRENT 
TRENDS.

FROM 5 TO 10 KTS.
