Area forecast discussion, Jun 23, 3:30 PM CDT, 2 hours 41 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION FOR SOUTHEAST SD/SOUTHWEST MN/NORTHWEST IA NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SIOUX FALLS SD 330 PM CDT FRI JUN 23 2006 .DISCUSSION... SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BEEN DEVELOPING OVER THE NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA THIS AFTERNOON ON OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES AND IN THE AREA OF GREATEST INSTABILITY...WITH MLCAPE VALUES AROUND 1200 TO 1500 J/KG. WHILE WE HAVE ISSUED A COUPLE OF WARNINGS WITH THESE STORMS...SHEAR IS NOT THAT GREAT...AROUND 28 KTS...AND STORMS HAVE BEEN SHORT LIVED. CAN EXPECT A FEW SCATTERED SEVERE STORMS TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS...BUT INSTABILITY DROPS OFF RATHER DRAMATICALLY AFTER SUNSET AND DYNAMICS ARE WEAK...SO ANY SEVERE STORMS SHOULD COME TO AN END AFTER DARK. IN ANY EVENT...SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL LINGER THROUGH THE NIGHT TIME HOURS AND PUSH FROM WEST TO EAST AS A SHORTWAVE CROSSES THE REGION. PRECIPITATION WILL END OVER THE EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA BY SATURDAY AFTERNOON. DID NOTE HOWEVER THAT THE LATEST NAM RUN PUSHES PRECIP OUT OF OUR AREA QUICKER ON SATURDAY MORNING THAN THE PREVIOUS RUN. EVEN SO...WILL LIKELY SEE REDEVELOPMENT ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON OVER THE EAST AS UPPER LEVEL LOW DROPS THROUGH MINNESOTA INTO THE UPPER MIDWEST. COULD SEE A COUPLE OF MARGINALLY SEVERE STORMS WITH THIS ACTIVITY WITH LOW END INSTABILITY OVER THE AREA. MODELS STILL IN DECENT AGREEMENT ON A CLOSED LOW DEVELOPING OVER THE NORTHERN AND CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI VALLEY FOR THE BEGINNING OF THE WEEK. THINK AT THIS POINT THAT IT WILL BE FAR ENOUGH EAST THAT THE CHANCE OF SHOWERS OVER OUR EASTERN CWA SHOULD BE MINIMAL. FARTHER INTO THE EXTENDED...TROUGH PERSISTS OVER THE MIDWEST AS ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE DROPS OUT OF MANITOBA AND ONTARIO. WHILE WE LOOK TO BE MOSTLY DRY THROUGH MUCH OF THE UPCOMING WEEK...A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL PASS THROUGH THE AREA ON TUESDAY NIGHT...BRINGING A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS TO THE EASTERN PARTS OF THE FA AT THAT TIME. TEMPERATURES LOOK TO REMAIN CLOSE TO NORMAL THROUGH THE PERIOD UNDER A PREDOMINATELY NORTHWEST FLOW. && .FSD WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... SD...NONE MN...NONE IA...NONE NE...NONE && JM
