AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION FOR SOUTHEAST SD/SOUTHWEST MN/NORTHWEST IA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SIOUX FALLS SD
239 PM CDT SAT MAY 7 2005

.DISCUSSION...
COMPLEX WEATHER PATTERN CONTINUES WITH VIRTUALLY NO PERIOD OVER THE
NEXT 7 DAYS GUARANTEED TO BE DRY. THE BEST SHOT AT A DRY PERIOD WILL
BE MONDAY EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY EVENING. OTHERWISE...POPS EVERY
PERIOD. OVERALL...PRETTY MUCH A 100 PERCENT CHANCE THAT EVERYONE IS
GOING TO SEE MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN SOMETIME BETWEEN NOW AND FRIDAY.
RIGHT NOW...LOOKS LIKE BEST CHANCE FOR HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE SUNDAY
NIGHT AND THEN TUESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY.

IN THE SHORT TERM...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH MAINLY WEST OF THE
JAMES RIVER THROUGH 700 PM CDT. NICE WAVE MOVING NORTH INTO WESTERN
NEBRASKA AT THIS TIME WITH COLD FRONT PUSHING EAST OUT OF THE
PANHANDLE OF TEXAS. EXPECT THUNDERSTORMS TO INCREASE IN COVERAGE
ACROSS THIS AREA WITH MAIN STORM MOTION NORTH. STRONGER STORMS WILL
TRACK A LITTLE MORE NORTHEASTERLY AND WILL LIKELY NEED TO GET A FEW
STORMS LIKE THIS TO GET INTO CENTRAL SD AS SFC FRONT PRETTY FAR
WEST. THE REMAINDER OF THE CWA SHOULD REMAIN MAINLY DRY THIS
EVENING...BUT THE CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS WILL SPREAD EAST
TONIGHT...AND LOW LEVEL THETA E ADVECTION INCREASES QUITE A BIT
AFTER 06Z...SO HAVE PUT SOME SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS INTO THE
EASTERN CWA TONIGHT INTO TOMORROW MORNING.

TOMORROW ALSO INTERESTING AS SFC COLD FRONT MOVES INTO THE WESTERN
CWA...AND POTENTIAL FOR A PRE FRONTAL TROUGH OVER NORTHWEST IOWA.
INCREASE POPS DURING THE AFTERNOON OVER THE WEST ALONG COLD FRONT
AND OVER NORTHWEST IA NEAR POTENTIAL PREFRONTAL TROUGH. SEVERE
WEATHER A DEFINITE THREAT...AS INSTABILITY AND SHEAR BOTH MODERATE
SO WILL HAVE TO WATCH OUT FOR THIS.

OUTSIDE OF MONDAY MORNING...SHOULD REMAIN MOSTLY DRY FROM MONDAY
THROUGH TUESDAY EVENING.

FOR WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...STILL LOOKING VERY UNSETTLED AND
POTENTIALLY VERY WET. MODELS FAIRLY CONSISTENT...AS CONSISTENT AS
ONE CAN EXPECT AT THIS POINT IN TIME ANYWAY...WITH STRONG LOW TO MID
LEVEL BAROCLINICITY HANGING OUT NEAR THE CWA DURING THIS ENTIRE
TIME. STILL LOOKING LIKE HEAVY RAIN THE MAJOR THREAT DURING THIS
TIME FRAME...ALTHOUGH SEVERE STORMS...ESPECIALLY SOUTH OF INTERSTATE
90...CANNOT BE RULED OUT AS SFC FRONT SHOULD BE FAIRLY CLOSE TO THE
AREA. WILL HAVE A FAIRLY STOUT GRADIENT FROM NORTH TO SOUTH ON
WEDNESDAY WITH POTENTIAL TO EASILY WARM INTO THE 80S IF FRONT PUSHES
NORTH OF ANY LOCATIONS. AREAS NORTH SHOULD SEE ABUNDANT CLOUD COVER
AND POSSIBLY PRECIP SO WILL STAY AT OR BELOW GUIDANCE. RIGHT
NOW...CONTINUES TO LOOK LIKE BEST CHANCE FOR WIDESPREAD RAINFALL
WILL BE TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY.
