AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ABERDEEN SD
355 AM CDT FRI AUG 18 2006

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT
FOCUS WILL BE ON UPPER WAVE EJECTING OUT OF THE NRN ROCKIES
TODAY...WITH PRECIPITATION CHANCES TODAY INTO THIS EVENING AS
ASSOCIATE COLD FRONT SLIDES SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE REGION. CURRENTLY
HAVE AN AREA OF -TRW SITUATED ACROSS MUCH OF THE CWA ASSOCIATED THE
WAA REGION AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM. HAVE A SECONDARY AREA OF
PRECIPITATION STRETCHING FROM NORTHWESTERN SOUTH DAKOTA
NORTHEASTWARD INTO EAST CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA IN VICINITY OF THE COLD
FRONTAL BOUNDARY. EXPECT THIS FRONTAL BOUNDARY TO BE THE MAIN FOCUS
FOR PRECIPITATION TODAY...AS THE UPPER LEVEL WAVE CONTINUES TO PUSH
EAST. SHORT RANGE MODELS IN A BIT OF DISAGREEMENT WITH THE TIMING OF
THE UPPER WAVE...WITH THE NAM ADVERTISING A SLIGHTLY SLOWER SOLUTION
THAN THE GFS. GIVEN CURRENT POSITION OF THE UPPER LOW...LOOKS AS IF
THE GFS MAY HAVE INITIALIZED SLIGHTLY BETTER. ALTHOUGH BOTH MODELS
SHOW UPPER WAVE A BIT FURTHER WEST THAN ITS CURRENT POSITION.
THEREFORE HAVE DECIDED TO GO WITH THE SLIGHTLY FASTER GFS FOR THE
FORECAST PACKAGE. HAVE NOT CHANGED MUCH OF THE PRECIPITATION CHANCES
FOR TODAY...AS PREVIOUS FORECAST LOOKED PRETTY GOOD. BIGGEST CHANGE
WAS TO INCREASE POPS ACROSS THE NORTH CENTRAL ZONES...WHERE EXPECT
FRONTAL BOUNDARY TO BE DRAPED FROM SW TO NE ACROSS THE CWA THIS
MORNING. THIS AREA ALSO IN BETTER PLACEMENT OF RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION
OF AN UPPER JET STREAK SITUATED OVER NORTH DAKOTA/SRN CANADA. COLD
FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL SHIFT TO THE EASTERN CWA BY LATE AFTERNOON AND
INTO MINNESOTA BY LATE EVENING. HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN SETTLE INTO
THE CWA TONIGHT INTO SATURDAY...WITH DRIER AIR FILTERING IN AS WELL.
WITH THE FASTER MOVEMENT NOTED IN THE GFS...DID REMOVE THE MENTION
OF POPS ACROSS THE EXTREME EASTERN CWA FOR LATE TONIGHT. OTHERWISE
REMAINDER OF THE SHORT TERM FORECAST REMAINS DRY AS HIGH PRESSURE
REMAINS IN CONTROL OF MUCH OF THE CWA INTO SUNDAY. BEGIN TO SEE SOME
RETURN FLOW BACK INTO THE WESTERN DAKOTAS LATER SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY
NIGHT...SO DO EXPECT SUNNY SKIES SATURDAY WITH INCREASING CLOUDS
INTO SUNDAY. AS FOR TEMPERATURES...STILL EXPECT COOLER CONDITIONS
TODAY INTO SATURDAY WITH HIGHS ONLY THE 70S TO AROUND 80 AS H85
TEMPS DROP INTO THE TEENS ACROSS THE CWA. HOWEVER DO BEGIN TO SEE
SOME WARMING INTO SUNDAY WITH A RETURN TO THE 80S TO AROUND 90 FOR
MAX TEMPERATURES SUNDAY.

.LONG TERM...MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY
THE LONG TERM STARTS OUT WITH UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN US WITH RIDGING EXTENDING NORTHWARD INTO THE WESTERN US AND
WESTERN CANADA. FROM MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...THE HIGH PRESSURE
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN US AND WESTERN RIDGING ARE SUPPRESSED INTO THE
SOUTHWEST US AS HEIGHTS FALL TO THE NORTH. OUR AREA SHOULD BE IN
NORTHWEST FLOW THROUGH THIS PERIOD WITH SHORT WAVES COMING ACROSS
THE REGION. IT LOOKS LIKE WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY EVENING WILL HAVE
A SHORT WAVE THAT MAY BRING SOME RAINFALL. OTHERWISE...KEPT MOST OF
THE PERIOD DRY WITH NOT MUCH CHANGE IN TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE
PERIOD. ALTHOUGH...IT LOOKS LIKE WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY MAY END UP
COOLER THAN THE CURRENT FORECAST IF HEIGHTS FALL MORE.
