PUSHING INTO SOUTH CENTRAL SOUTH DAKOTA. THIS ACTIVITY IS PUSHING
THROUGH JONES...LYMAN...AND BUFFALO COUNTIES AT THE MOMENT. SOME
LINGERING WEAK SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE THROUGH
MID MORNING...AS A WEAK SHORTWAVE MOVES OVER THE AREA. ALSO HAVE A
WEAK AREA OF CONVERGENCE SITUATED OVER THE AREA...BUT EXPECT THAT
LINE OF CONVERGENCE TO SHIFT TO THE SOUTH INTO NEBRASKA AS CAA
CONTINUES ALOFT ACROSS THE STATE TODAY. STRONGER UPPER WAVE
CURRENTLY SLIDING ALONG THE CANADIAN/US BORDER WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH
EAST TODAY AND PUSH INTO THE GREAT LAKES REGION BY TONIGHT. THIS
WILL ALLOW WEST TO NORTHWEST FLOW INTO THE REGION INTO THURSDAY.

NEXT FEW DAYS AS H85 TEMPS HOVER IN THE TEENS. EXPECT BREEZY TO
WINDY CONDITIONS TODAY AS WELL...WITH A TIGHTENED SFC PRES
GRADIENT...AND LOW LEVEL WINDS AROUND 25-30KT. DO FEEL THAT WINDS
SHOULD STAY BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA...WITH MODELS INDICATING BETTER
PRES GRADIENT TO THE NORTH...ALONG WITH STRONGER WINDS IN THE LOWER
LEVELS. NEXT CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION WILL COME FRIDAY AFTERNOON INTO
FRIDAY NIGHT AS NEXT UPPER WAVE IMPACTS THE REGION. MOISTURE WILL
BEGIN TO MAKE ITS WAY BACK INTO THE CWA...WITH SOUTHERLY FLOW ALOFT
FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY NIGHT. PWAT VALUES INCREASE FROM AROUND 0.6
INCHES THURSDAY TO WELL ABOVE AN INCH BY LATE FRIDAY. LATEST NAM
INDICATES A STRONGER LLJ DEVELOPING FRIDAY NIGHT ORIENTED TOWARD
CENTRAL/NORTHEAST SOUTH DAKOTA...HOWEVER THE LATEST GFS KEEPS IT
FURTHER TO THE SOUTH INTO SOUTHEAST SD. THEREFORE KEPT POPS IN THE
LOW CHANCE CATEGORY FOR NOW. OTHERWISE MADE NO OTHER CHANGES
THROUGHOUT THE SHORT TERM.

.LONG TERM...SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY
VERY FEW CHANGES MADE TO THE EXTENDED AGAIN THIS TIME AROUND. THE
UPPER PATTERN WILL CONTINUE TO FEATURE A BUILDING RIDGE OVER THE

FLOW OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS. A SURFACE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL BE
JUST OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN CWA SATURDAY MORNING AND EXITS TO THE
EAST DURING THE DAY. WILL KEEP A SMALL POP GOING TO CATCH ANY
LINGERING SHOWERS. HIGH PRESSURE THEN SLIDES OVER THE REGION
SATURDAY NIGHT WITH NO SIGNIFICANT SURFACE FEATURES AFFECTING THE
