AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ABERDEEN SD
246 PM CDT FRI AUG 6 2004

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT
STRONG UPPER LEVEL WAVE IS MOVING THROUGH MAINLY NORTH DAKOTA THIS
AFTERNOON...WITH ALMOST ALL OF THE ACTIVITY REMAINING TO THE NORTH
OF THE AREA TODAY. A LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS CURRENTLY EXTENDS
SOUTHEAST FROM BIS/JMS AREA TO THE SD BORDER ALONG SOUTHERN END OF
MAIN UPPER VORT MAX. EXPECT THIS LINE TO REACH EASTERN ND THIS
EVENING...WITH SOME DEVELOPMENT POSSIBLE SOUTHWARD INTO NORTHEAST
SD. SOME SURFACE-BASED DEVELOPMENT IS POSSIBLE YET THIS AFTERNOON
AROUND ND/SD/MN TRIPLE POINT. THIS ACTIVITY WOULD DRIFT
EAST-SOUTHEASTWARD INTO THE CWA LATE THIS AFTERNOON. SPC HAS BEEN
MONITORING THIS AREA AS SEVERE STORMS WOULD BE POSSIBLE GIVEN 25-35
KTS OF DEEP LAYER SHEAR AND CAPES OF 1500 TO 2500 J/KG. IF THIS
ACTIVITY GETS UNDERWAY...IT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO REACH THE EAST
LATER IN THE EVENING AS WELL...DEPENDING ON EXACT TRACK. WILL GO
20-30 POPS ACROSS THE CWA THIS EVENING...DEPENDING ON LAST MINUTE
TRENDS.

AFTER TONIGHT...ALL EYES TURN TOWARD UPPER LOW CURRENTLY MOVING IN
OVER PAC NW. THIS LOW IS EXPECTED TO MOVE ALONG NORTHERN TIER
STATES...REACHING ND LATE SATURDAY NIGHT. SURFACE TROUGH IS EXPECT
TO REACH CENTRAL SD LATE SATURDAY AFTERNOON WITH WARM FRONT
EXTENDING TO THE EAST THROUGH SOUTHERN ND/NORTHERN SD. THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT IS EXPECTED MAINLY ALONG THE TROUGH WITH A COLD FRONT
QUICK TO FOLLOW SATURDAY EVENING...EVENTUALLY CATCHING UP TO THE
TROUGH. SEVERE STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THIS SYSTEM AS CAPES
WILL RUN 1500 TO 3000 J/KG AND 0-6KM SHEAR OF 30-35 KTS. THE COOLER
AIR WILL THEN FILTER IN SATURDAY NIGHT...CONTINUING THROUGH MONDAY
NIGHT. EXPECT THICK LOW CLOUDS WITH POSSIBLE LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS FOR
SUNDAY NIGHT...VERY FALL-LIKE. DROPPED HIGHS ON MONDAY A BIT...INTO
THE UPPER 60S TO LOW 70S...BUT MAY BE OPTIMISTIC IF THE GFS HAS ITS
WAY. IT IS PROGGING 850 MB TEMPS OF +2 IN THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF
THE CWA...WHICH WOULD DROP THE HIGH ABOUT 10 DEGREES FROM CURRENT
FORECAST.

.LONG TERM...TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.
MAIN FCST CHALLENGE IN THE EXTENDED STILL REMAINS TEMPS.

MODELS ARE STILL SHOWING BROAD CANADIAN CYCLONE DRIFTING EAST ACROSS
SRN CANADA...LOCATING OVER THE NRN GREAT LAKES TOWARD END OF PERIOD.
CWA REMAINS IN NW FLOW...WITH HEIGHT RECOVERY TAKING PLACE BY 00Z
THURSDAY. 85H TEMPS STILL BEGIN THE EXTENDED IN THE SINGLE DIGITS
BELOW 5 DEG C...THEN MODERATE SOMEWHAT INTO THE LOW TO MID TEENS BY
THE END OF THE FCST PERIOD.

OF ONE MINOR CONCERN IS THAT THE 06Z GFS AND NOW 12Z GFS SHOW A COLD
FRONT SLIPPING THROUGH THE REGION WED AFTN...WITH MINOR TROFS AT 85H
AND 7H ALSO MOVING THROUGH CWA. GFS SHOWS A DECENT INCR IN 7H RH
ASSOC WITH FEATURE...AND ALSO PAINTS SOME LIGHT QPF ACROSS NERN PART
OF STATE. HOWEVER...THIS FEATURE NOT SEEN ON THE CANADIAN...SO WILL
DISCOUNT FOR NOW AND LEAVE THINGS DRY.

TEMP WISE...CONT TO FOLLOW TREND OF ENSEMBLE GUIDANCE...WHICH IS
COOLER FOR THE FIRST PART...TUE AND WED...WITH A STRONGER WARMUP FOR
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.
