Area forecast discussion, Aug 10, 2:11 PM MDT, 2 hours 41 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ABERDEEN SD 311 PM CDT FRI AUG 10 2007 .SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT THE MAIN ISSUE IN THE SHORT RANGE IS DEALING WITH PCPN/SVR CHANCES TONIGHT. LAPS CURRENTLY INDICATES THAT BEST INSTABILITY IS DEVELOPING IN VICINITY OF THE MISSOURI RIVER VALLEY WHERE STRONGEST DIABATIC HEATING HAS OCCURRED THIS AFTERNOON. VISIBLE SATELLITE PICTURES ALSO INDICATE CU BEGINNING TO FORM OVER THE REGION. THE QUESTION IS WILL THE CAP BREAK. 18Z ABR AND BIS SOUNDINGS CONTAINED ALOT OF SURFACE BASED CONVECTIVE INHIBITION. MEANWHILE MODELS CONTINUE TO ADVECT EVEN WARMER AIR ALOFT OUT ACROSS THE PLAINS THROUGH THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. AS THE BOUNDARY LAYER CONTINUES TO WARM AND OVERCOME CAP...WILL PROBABLY SEE SOME STORMS FORM ALONG MO RIVER...AND THEN PERHAPS RIDE THE DEVELOPING LLJ INTO THE EASTERN CWA LATER THIS EVENING. THE VERY HIGH INSTABILITY DEVELOPING ACROSS THE WESTERN CWA ALONG WITH INCREASING SHEAR DUE TO STRONGER WINDS ALOFT SUGGESTS THAT SVR STORMS ARE A DISTINCT POSSIBILITY...BUT THEY WILL BE FIGHTING THE WARM AIR ALOFT AND THUS SEVERE HAIL MIGHT BE TOUGH TO GET. DOWNBURSTS MAY BE THE BIGGEST THREAT SINCE TEMPERATURE/DEWPOINT SPREADS ARE RATHER LARGE. FOR SATURDAY TRAILING SURFACE FRONT PUSHES THROUGH THE EASTERN CWA IN THE MORNING SO KEPT IN LINGERING SHOWERS THIS AREA. LOOKS AS IF MOST OF THE CONVECTIVE ACTION SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING SHOULD BE OFF TO THE EAST AND SOUTHEAST. SURFACE HIGH BUILDS IN FOR SATURDAY NIGHT AND HELPS DROP DEWPOINTS BACK INTO THE 50S. HOWEVER...MODELS CONTINUE TO BE INSISTENT ON SOME POTENTIAL FOR A LATE NIGHT...RETURN FLOW...WARM AIR ADVECTION BATCH OF SHOWERS OVER NORTHWEST SOUTH DAKOTA/SOUTHWEST NORTH DAKOTA. DUE TO SOME CONSISTENCY...DID THROW SOME ISOLATED POPS INTO FAR WESTERN CWA TO ACCOUNT FOR THE POTENTIAL. A MIX OF ADJMAV AND INHERITED GRIDS WAS USED FOR TEMPERATURE FORECAST. .LONG TERM...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY SUNDAY STARTS OFF WITH HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS AND SOUTHERN CANADA. THIS HIGH MOVES EAST BY SUNDAY NIGHT...ALLOWING FOR RETURN FLOW TO SET UP. SLIGHT CHANCE FOR STORMS EXISTS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE CWA AS LLJ STRENGTHENS AND MUCAPES INCREASE TO OVER 1000 J/KG. ALSO SOME UPPER LEVEL JET ENERGY TO WORK WITH SO CANNOT RULE OUT AT LEAST A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR SOMETHING TO DEVELOP. MID LEVEL FEATURES NOT REALLY SUPPORTIVE OF MORE THAN SLIGHT CHANCE POPS AS HEIGHTS ACTUALLY RISE A BIT. MODELS AGREE FAIRLY WELL WITH A FRONTAL PASSAGE FROM WEST TO EAST ACROSS THE AREA ON MONDAY. IT STILL APPEARS BEST POTENTIAL FOR PRECIP WITH THIS FEATURE WILL BE JUST NORTH OF THE AREA. FOR NOW HAVE LEFT FORECAST DRY FOR MONDAY BUT FUTURE SHIFTS WILL HAVE TO MONITOR FOR SLIGHT CHANCE POTENTIAL ACROSS THE FAR NORTHERN CWA. NEXT AREA OF INTEREST IS LOW PRESSURE/DISTURBANCE THAT EJECTS EAST ACROSS CENTRAL/NORTHERN PLAINS ON TUESDAY NIGHT. MODELS HAVE TRENDED FARTHER SOUTH WITH PRECIP...TAKING MOST OF IT ACROSS SOUTHERN SD AND NEBRASKA. 12Z GFS WAS CONSISTENT WITH THE 06Z RUN IN DOING THIS. HAVE THEREFORE TAKEN THE NORTHERN CWA OUT OF SLIGHT CHANCE BUT KEPT THE SOUTHERN CWA IN. IF FUTURE MODEL RUNS CONTINUE THIS SOUTHERLY TREND...POPS WILL HAVE TO BE PUSHED EVEN FARTHER SOUTH. && .AVIATION... OTHER THAN ISOLATED/SCATTERED STORMS TONIGHT...EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS WITH VSBYS AOA 6SM AND ANY CIGS OUTSIDE OF STORMS AOA 10K FEET. && .ABR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... SD...NONE. MN...NONE. && SHORT TERM...TDK LONG TERM...TMT AVIATION...TDK
