AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ABERDEEN SD
345 PM CDT THU JUL 3 2003

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT.
MAIN FCST CONCERN WILL BE CHANCE OF CONVECTION THIS EVENING AND
OVERNIGHT. LATEST MODEL RUNS BRINGING THROUGH SFC BOUNDARY LATER
THAN IN PREVIOUS RUNS...WITH BOUNDARY EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGH CWA
OVERNIGHT. SFC BOUNDARY NOT TOO IMPRESSIVE...BUT COULD HELP PROVIDE
A FOCUS FOR DEVELOPMENT OVERNIGHT. BETTER UPPER LEVEL DYNAMICS AS
RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF UPPER JET CORE IS POSITIONED OVERHEAD LATE
TONIGHT. ETA PLACES A LARGE BULLSEYE OF UPPER DIVERGENCE OVER ERN SD
ASSOCIATED WITH THIS JET CORE. 18Z ABR SOUNDING NOT SHOWING AS MUCH
CAPE AS WITH THE 12Z...BUT STILL SHOWING ENOUGH TO GET DECENT
CONVECTION. STILL LOOKING AT BEST CHANCE FOR TSRA NEAR KPIR AND KATY
IN THE VICINITY OF THE BEST LIS. WITH SLOWER MOVEMENT WITH THE
FRONT...HAVE CONTINUED CHANCE OF -TRW INTO FRI MORNING ACROSS THE
FAR SOUTHEASTERN ZONES. THE REMAINDER OF FRIDAY SHOULD BE DRY AS
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE REGION. MAX TEMPS WILL BE COOLER
FRI...AS SLIGHTLY COOLER AIR MOVES IN BEHIND THE FRONT. TEMPS WILL
WARM AGAIN ON SAT WITH SOUTHERLY FLOW AHEAD OF THE NEXT SYSTEM. THE
UPPER TROUGH SLIDES THROUGH SOUTHERN CANADA SAT INTO SUN...WITH THE
SFC TROUGH AXIS POSITIONED ACROSS THE WRN DAKOTAS BY 06Z SUN. THIS
WILL BRING THE NEXT CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO THE
REGION LATE SATURDAY AFTERNOON INTO SUNDAY. WILL HAVE A DECENT LOW
LEVEL JET SAT NIGHT...ALONG WITH AN OPEN GULF. FRONT LOOKS TO HAVE
MOVED THROUGH THE AREA BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON WITH SOME RESIDUAL TSRA
OVER THE FAR NE. WITH SOME CLOUD COVER AND THE FRONT PASSING THROUGH
WILL SEE COOLER MAX TEMPS ON SUN AGAIN.

.LONG TERM...MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY
THERE WERE SOME DIFFERENCES IN THE MDLS IN THE MON-THURS PERIOD. THE
ECMWF WANTS TO BUILD A STRONG 50H RIDGE INTO THE CENTRAL PART OF THE
US BY 12Z WED WHILE THE GFS HAS LOWER 50H HEIGHTS WITH WNW FLOW AND
A FEW S/WS MOVING ACROSS THE REGION ON TUES AND WED NIGHT. AT THE
SFC...COOL AND DRY CANADIAN HIGH PRES WILL BE THE MAIN INFLUENCE ON
THE WEATHER ACROSS THE ABR CWA ON MON AND TUES WITH HIGHS MAINLY IN
THE MID 70S TO THE LOWER 80S. WILL GO WITH THE GFS AND PUT A CHC FOR
TSRAS IN THE FAR S CWA ON TUES AFTN WITH A FAST MOVING S/W AND GO
WITH A CHC OF TSRAS WED NIGHT ACROSS FAR NE SD AND WC MN WITH A S/W
DROPPING SE IN THE NW FLOW AND PUSHING A FRONT THROUGH THIS AREA.
OTHERWISE...MUCH OF THE CWA SHOULD BE DRY FOR THE MON-THURS PERIOD
WITH THE MAIN FRONTAL FOCUS FOR TSRAS TO THE SOUTH OF THE ABR CWA.
THE NEXT BEST CHC OF TSRAS ACROSS THE ENTIRE CWA LOOKS TO BE ON
THURS NIGHT AND FRIDAY.

.ABR...NONE
