AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ABERDEEN SD
337 AM CDT SUN MAY 8 2005

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT
EVERYTHING IS ON TRACK FOR ANOTHER ROUND OF SEVERE WEATHER IN THE
EASTERN FORECAST AREA THIS AFTERNOON. UPPER LOW IS CURRENTLY OVER
FAR WESTERN SD WITH DRY SLOT OVER THE FORECAST AREA EXTENDING N INTO
SRN ND. ABUNDANT SUNSHINE THIS MORNING WITH 700-500 MB LAPSE RATES
OF 7.5-8 C/KM AND DEW POINTS IN THE MID TO UPPER 50S WILL RESULT IN
MIXED LAYER CAPES FROM 1000-1900 J/KG ACROSS THE EAST BY 1 PM...WITH
MINIMAL CONVECTIVE INHIBITION BY THAT TIME. AS UPPER LOW PUSHES
EAST...BEST CHANCE FOR ORGANIZED/SEVERE STORMS WILL BE IN THE EAST
WHERE DEEP SHEAR OF AROUND 30KTS AND BROAD SCALE LIFT WILL BE
PRESENT. THE TS ACTIVITY WILL LIKELY BEGIN EARLIER THAN YESTERDAY.
THUNDERSTORMS WILL CHANGE OVER TO SHOWERS TONIGHT AS THE STACKED LOW
DRIFTS EAST ACROSS THE CWA. SHOWERS WILL STILL BE POSSIBLE ON MONDAY
WITH TROWAL FEATURE EVIDENT BEHIND LOW...MAINLY IN THE NORTHEAST.
COOLED TEMPS A BIT FOR MONDAY AS MAV GUIDANCE SEEMS A LITTLE WARM.
THE MET MAY BE TOO COOL HOWEVER. UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL MOVE IN
MONDAY NIGHT WITH WEAK SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE AREA AS WELL.
AS RIDGE SHIFTS EAST...MODELS SHOWING MODERATE ISENTROPIC LIFTING
OCCURRING IN THE WEST...WITH SURFACE LOW OVER NEB/CO/KS TRIPLE PT.
ADDED SLIGHT CHANCE OF TS IN THE WEST ON TUESDAY AFTERNOON...BUT IT
MAY BE MORE SHOWERY LIKE THE NAM AND UKMET INDICATE. THE GFS HAS THE
WARM AIR MUCH FURTHER NORTH ON TUESDAY AND IS A LITTLE SUSPECT. KEPT
CHANCE OF PRECIP IN FOR  TUESDAY NIGHT AS ISENTROPIC LIFTING
CONTINUES.

.LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY
MEDIUM RANGE MODELS CONTINUE TO ADVERTISE AN ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN
FOR THE EXTENDED PORTION.  EXTENDED PERIOD OPENS WITH LARGE H5 LOW
OVER DESERT SOUTHWEST WITH TROUGH EXTENDING NORTH TO NEAR MONTANA.
SURFACE LOW IS TRAVELING IN SOUTHWEST FLOW AND INTERACTING WITH OLD
BOUNDARY LEFT OVER IN THIS COUNTRY.  THUNDERSTORMS LOOK LIKE A GOOD
BET TO START OF THE WEDNESDAY PORTION. GFS WOULD KEEP UP THIS
INTERACTION HOLDING A SURFACE REFLECTION JUST SOUTH OF STATIONARY
BOUNDARY AS UPPER LOW WEAKENS AND STARTS TO MOVE EAST.  EVEN BY 12Z
SATURDAY POSITIVE TILTED H5 TROUGH STILL HANGS BACK OVER FOUR
CORNERS AREA ALTHOUGH MUCH WEAKER THAN MID WEEK AND EVENTUALLY MOVES
EAST AS PACIFIC RIDGE STARTS PUSHING ONSHORE. TEMPERATURES LOOK COOL
BUT REASONABLE SO FEW CHANGES WERE MADE TO EITHER TEMPERATURES OR
WEATHER.
