Severe Thunderstorm Warning 133, NWS Sioux Falls, SD

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION FOR SOUTHEAST SD/SOUTHWEST MN/NORTHWEST IA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SIOUX FALLS SD
335 PM CDT TUE JUN 24 2003

...SHORT TERM...
OBVIOUSLY THE MAIN CONCERN IS TNGT...MAYBE WED MRNG IN NW IA. STRONG
UA DISTURBANCE WL FINALLY WHIP THROUGH THE FSD FA TNGT...ALONG WITH
THE SFC CDFNT WHICH IS CRNTLY JUST WEST OF THE FA. GRIDDED ANALYSIS
NOW SHOWS THE LOW LVL FRONTOGENESIS MOVG NWD FM NRN NEB AND THE
SIOUX CITY AREA...RIGHT ALONG THE SFC WMFNT WHICH IS NOW JUST NORTH
OF SIOUX FALLS. DECIDED NOT TO ISSUE A FLOOD WATCH FOR THE NW IA
AREA WHICH IS SOUTH OF THE WMFNT...BECAUSE AM WORRIED THAT ANY
ACTIVITY THAT GETS GOING AROUND KSUX WL BE SCATTERED WITH LITTLE IN
THE WAY OF A FOCUSING MECHANISM...BOTH AT THE SFC AND ALOFT. ANY
SINGLE CELLS WL HAVE HEAVY RAIN WITH THEM...BUT AM NOW GETTING MORE
CONCERNED ABOUT EVENING DVLPMENT ALONG THE I 90 CORRIDOR ALONG THE
LIFTING WMFNT WHERE HIGHER AMNTS OF WATER CAN BE TAKEN. BOTH CAPES...
WIND SHEAR POINT TOWARD SVR WX THRU A GOOD PTN OF THE CWA THIS
EVENING...ESP EAST OF THE JAMES. BY MIDNIGHT...STRONG LOW TO MID LVL
WINDS WL PROBABLY BEGIN TO CAP OFF NW IA...AS +12C H7 AIR IS PROGGED
TO MOVE INTO THIS AREA BY MIDNIGHT AHEAD OF THE CDFNT. SO...IF THE
MO VALLEY AND NW IA DO NOT FIRE SOUTH OF THE WMFNT THIS EVENING...IT
IS PROBLEMATIC THAT THEY WILL FIRE AT ALL UNTIL THE CDFNT PASSAGE
VERY LATE TNGT OR EARLY WED. AS THE OVERNIGHT PROGRESSES...THE
STRONG MID LVL COOLING WILL RUSH IN WITH THE SFC CDFNT...SPREADING
TS ALONG AND BEHIND THE SFC CDFNT WHERE THE SFC BNDRY WL RMN SHALLOW
FOR A LITTLE WHILE. THIS IS WHERE THE DYNAMICS WL ULTIMATELY TAKE
OVER FOR THE SECOND HALF OF TNGT AND DREW GRIDS ACCORDINGLY. HEAVY
RAINS AND SOME POSSIBLE SVR WL ACCOMPANY THE CDFNT THRU THE WRN HALF
OF THE FA...BUT THE MAIN CONCERN FOR MAJOR SVR WX WL BE THIS EVENING
WITH ANY SUPERCELL DEVLPMENT AHEAD OF THE CDFNT.

TEMPERATURES ON WED MAY NOT MOVE MUCH BEHIND THE CDFNT...BUT STRONG
MIXING IS TAKING PLACE SO THEY WILL MOVE SOME DURING THE AFTN HRS.
IN ADDN...HIGH LEVEL OF MSTR WL MOVE IN JUST OFF THE SFC WITH CAA...
CREATING A SELF DESTRUCTIVE SUNSHINE MECHANISM. MIXED THE FWC AND
MET FOR HIGHS...JUST DEPENDING ON LOCATION. JUST A CHC FOR TS ACRS
THE FA WITH THE INSTABILITY ALOFT BEHIND THE DEPARING WAVE. MAY HAVE
MORE SELF DESTRUCTIVE SUNSHINE THRU THE CWA ON THUR...ESP OVER THE
NE QUAD. FOR TEMPS...SOME OF THE GUIDANCE TEMPS ACTUALLY DID NOT
LOOK THAT BAD FOR LOWS AND HIGHS ON THURSDAY.

...LONGER TERM...
NEXT RIDGE RIDER TO LOOK AT IS MOVG THRU THE FSD FA FRI NIGHT AS PER
THE LAST THREE GFS RUNS. WORTH A CHC FOR PCPN...AND LINGERED IT IN
THE ERN CWA SAT MRNG. DID NOT WANT TO TAKE IT INTO THE AFTN HRS WITH
THE AMNT OF DRY AIR ALOFT MOVG IN. EXTENDED ATTM LOOKS FAIRLY QUIET
AFTER THAT...UNTIL ANOTHER POTENT WAVE MOVES INTO THE MIDWEST TOWARD
TEH MIDDLE OF THE WEEK.

.FSD...NONE.
