AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION FOR SOUTHEAST SD/SOUTHWEST MN/NORTHWEST IA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SIOUX FALLS SD
845 PM CST TUE FEB 27 2007

.DISCUSSION...
PLENTY OF ECHOES HAVE BEEN DEVELOPING ON REGIONAL RADARS OVER THE
PAST COUPLE OF HOURS WITH ADVANCE OF MID LEVEL FRONTAL ZONE. HOWEVER
NOT A LOT OF THIS PRECIP BEING REALIZED AT THE SURFACE QUITE YET...
WITH KABR/KOAX RAOBS AND RECENT TAMDAR SOUNDINGS OUT OF KSUX ALL
SHOWING DEEP DRY LAYER BETWEEN 600-875MB. QUITE A BIT OF MID LEVEL
LIFT MOVING INTO THE CWA...MAINLY AFTER 06Z. INITIAL LIFT WILL HAVE
TO WORK TOWARD SATURATION...BUT QUICK RAMP-UP/EXPANSION OF POPS IN
06Z-12Z TIMEFRAME STILL LOOKS VERY REASONABLE. POTENTIAL FOR MIXED
PRECIP LOOKS LIKE THE CORRECT CHOICE FOR MISSOURI RIVER AREA AS
WELL...WITH KSUX TAMDAR SOUNDINGS SHOWING WARM LAYER AT ZERO TO +1C
AT 850MB. 00Z NAM LOOKS TO HAVE INITIALIZED THIS AREA PRETTY WELL...
BUT NOT QUITE COLD ENOUGH ON THE BACK SIDE WHERE 00HR 850MB TEMPS AT
KUNR/KLBF ARE 2-3C TOO WARM. WILL TAKE A LITTLE CLOSER LOOK BEFORE
MAKING ANY CHANGES...BUT MAY NEED TO INTRODUCE BRIEF PERIOD OF MIXED
PRECIP INTO SOUTHWEST COUNTIES FOR THE LATE NIGHT HOURS AS WELL.

TWEAKED HOURLY TEMPS EARLIER THIS EVENING...ESPECIALLY IN NORTHEAST
AREAS WHERE THEY DID NOT WARM UP QUITE AS MUCH AS EXPECTED IN THE
AFTERNOON. TEMPS SHOULD REBOUND A LITTLE OVERNIGHT AS WINDS INCREASE
THOUGH...AND GOING FORECAST HAS THIS IDEA WELL HANDLED. NO UPDATES
TO ZFP NEEDED AT THIS TIME...THOUGH AS MENTIONED ABOVE...MAY NEED TO
BRIEFLY MENTION SOME SLEET IN FAR SOUTHWEST CWA AFTER 06Z. UPDATED
GRIDS/PFM HAVE BEEN SENT.

&&

.AVIATION...
VFR CONDITIONS AT KHON/KFSD/KSUX AREAS WILL DETERIORATE QUICKLY
BETWEEN 06Z-12Z AS UPPER LEVEL LIFT INCREASES AND HELPS SATURATE
ATMOSPHERE BENEATH QUICK MOVING MID LEVEL FRONT. PERIOD OF MODERATE
TO BRIEFLY HEAVY SNOW POSSIBLE AT KHON/KFSD AFTER 11Z...WITH VSBYS
ARND 1/2SM LKLY AT KHON 11Z-14Z...AND KFSD FROM 12Z-16Z. WARMER AIR
ALFT SHUD BE LIMITED TO AREAS NEAR THE MISSOURI RIVER...INCLDUING
ARND KSUX AND TWB302...WITH ICING CONDITIONS MOST LIKELY FROM
11Z-17Z.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...
APOLOGIES FOR THE VERY LONG HEADLINE CODE BELOW...ONE OF THE HAZARDS
OF DEALING WITH TWO STORM EVENTS IN THE SHORTER TERM. FOR TONIGHT
AND WED MORNING...AM ANTICIPATING SOME STEADY TO SLOWLY RISING TEMPS
AFTER EVENING OR MIDNIGHT AS THE SE WINDS INCREASE. WE ARE STILL ON
TARGET WITH A TON OF WAA MOVG INTO THE FA LATER TONIGHT AND WED
ASSOCIATED WITH A S/W. A NW TO SE BAND OF SNOW WL DEVELOP ALONG A
MID LVL FRONTOGENESIS BAND ASSOCIATED WITH THE MID LVL FRONT. ONE
CAN ALREADY SEE ECHOES DEVELOPING IN WRN SD...WITH REDUCED
VISIBILITIES AT PLACES SUCH AS RAPID CITY AND CUSTER. THIS BAND IS
BEGINNING TO TIE INTO SOME LIGHT ECHOES IN NORTH CENTRAL NEB...
HOWEVER THE LOW LVLS ARE INTIALLY DRY IN OUR CWFA. IN ADDITION...WE
ARE UNSTABLE TONIGHT AND WED MORNING WITH THIS WAVE. ABOVE THE MAX
FRONTOGENESIS AREA IS QUITE AN UNSTABLE AREA OF NEG EPV*. SOME LTG
IS NOTED ATTM IN ERN WY. SO THOUGHTS ARE...THAT THE SNOW BAND COULD
POUND PRETTY GOOD AS IT LIFTS NEWD ACROSS THE FA...ESP SINCE WE DO
HAVE SOME DENDRITICITY TO WORK WITH. NAM THERMAL PROFILES DO SHOW A
MIX OF PCPN IN THE FAR SRN CWFA LATE TONIGHT AND WED...EVEN AFTER
SUBTRACTING OFF 1 TO 2 DEGS CELSIUS OFF OF THE USUALLY TOO WARM NAM
WARM PROFILE. THEREFORE ISSUED A WINTER WX ADVY FOR MIXED PCPN FM
KYKN TO KSLB. SNOW ADVYS OR WINTER STORM WARNINGS ARE WARRANTED
NORTH OF THERE FOR MUCH OF THE REST OF THE FA FOR THE BAND OF SNOW.
LEFT THE SW CWFA FREE OF HEADLINES AS FOR NOW...AS IT LOOKS LIKE THE
DYNAMICS WL LIFT TOO FAR NEWD TOO FAST WED MORNING...LEAVING THAT
AREA DRY BY AFTERNOON.

BY WED AFTERNOON...NOT A HUGE REBOUND IN TEMPS IS EXPECTED DUE TO
LOW CLOUD COVER HANGING AROUND. LIGHT SNOW WL STILL BE LIKELY IN OUR
NE SECTOR WHERE MSTR REMAINS THE DEEPEST. HOWEVER MOVG SW OF THERE...
DRY AIR BEGINS TO POUR INTO THE MID LVLS. SO...IF ANY PCPN HAPPENS
WED AFTERNOON IN AREAS W OF SW MN...IT SHOULD BE DRIZZLE OR FREEZING
DRIZZLE. BUT WOULD BE EXTREMELY LIGHT.

NEXT VERY STRONG SYSTEM THEN LIFTS NEWD ON THU INTO THE ERN PLAINS.
OUR FAR SERN CWFA IN NW IA GETS SCRAPED BY SOME LOW TO MID LVL
FRONTOGENESIS WED NIGHT. HOWEVER...AM NOT BUYING THE STRONG QPF IN
THAT AREA WED NIGHT PER THE GFS...AS THE GFS DEVELOPS A CONVECTIVE
LOOKING S/W NEAR SPENCER IA. MID LVLS PER BOTH MODELS ARE STILL
RATHER DRY FOR MUCH OF THE FA...SO BELIEVE ONLY VERY LIGHT PCPN IS
WARRANTED OVER OUR NE HALF. THEN AS MENTIONED...THE STRONG UPPER
WAVE THEN LIFTS NEWD FM THE CENTRAL PLAINS INTO ERN PLAINS WHERE IT
BOMBS. VERY WINDY CONDS WILL PREVAIL...ESP BY THU NIGHT AND FRIDAY
WITH SOME POSSIBLE HEAVY SNOW IN PARTS OF OUR ERN FA BEHIND THE
UPPER LOW. TROWALING IS STILL EVIDENT ON FRI AND FRI NIGHT IN ERN SD
KEEPING THINGS STIRRED UP IN THIS AREA. WE MAY HAVE TO EXTEND THE
WINTER STORM WATCH WWD FM ABOUT SIOUX FALLS TO BROOKINGS ON FUTURE
SHIFTS BECAUSE THE WIND IS SO STRONG. BUT WERE STILL EXPECTING THE
HEAVIEST SNOW AMOUNTS OF 6 TO 10 INCHES IN OUR FAR ERN CWFA ON
THURSDAY...POSSIBLY THU EVENING WHEN THE MID TO UPPER LOW IN IN NRN
IA.

IN THE EXTENDED...BRISK NORTHWEST FLOW WILL CONTINUE INTO SATURDAY
WITH AROUND 30 KNOTS OF FLOW AT 925 MB GRADUALLY DECREASING
THROUGHOUT THE DAY. THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR A FEW FLURRIES IN THE
EAST EARLY SATURDAY MORNING...BUT AS THE MID LEVELS CONTINUE TO DRY
OUT WOULD NOT EXPECT FLURRIES TO LAST BEYOND MIDDAY. NOT CONFIDENT
ENOUGH TO ADD TO FORECAST AT THIS POINT...BUT IS SOMETHING TO KEEP
AN EYE ON. EXPECT ATMOSPHERE TO CONTINUE TO DRY OUT THROUGHOUT THE
DAY ON SATURDAY...AND CLOUD SHIELD WILL GRADUALLY SHIFT EAST WITH
DEPARTING UPPER LEVEL LOW. BRIEF WARMING TREND WILL ENSUE SATURDAY
INTO SUNDAY...THOUGH HAVE CONTINUED CONSERVATIVE HIGHS DESPITE 925
MB RISING TO NEAR 0 C. WARMING TREND DOESN/T LAST TOO LONG
THOUGH...AS ARCTIC PUSH WORKS INTO UPPER MIDWEST ON MONDAY. BELOW
NORMAL TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE INTO TUESDAY...THOUGH HIGHS ON
TUESDAY LOOK TO WARM SOME OVER MONDAY/S COOL READINGS.
