Area forecast discussion, Oct 17, 10:30 AM CDT, 48 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION FOR SOUTHEAST SD/SOUTHWEST MN/NORTHWEST IA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SIOUX FALLS SD
1030 AM CDT WED OCT 17 2007

.DISCUSSION...

BAND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ASSOCIATED WITH MID LEVEL WARM AIR
ADVECTION EXTENDING ALONG AND JUST NORTH OF I-29 CORRIDOR.  HAVE
INCREASED POPS ACROSS NORTHERN PORTION OF CWA THROUGH THE REMAINDER
OF THE MORNING. SECOND BAND OF CONVECTION OFF TO THE SOUTH ACROSS
EASTERN NEBRASKA INTO WESTERN IOWA ASSOCIATED WITH LEADING SHORTWAVE
WITH THE SYSTEM MOVING OUT OF THE DESERT SW. THIS SYSTEM IS EXPECTED
TO INTENSIFY THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS...BRINGING
ADDITIONAL PRECIPITATION TO THE AREA. HAVE REDUCED HIGHS WITH LOW
CLOUDS...SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW...AND ADDITIONAL ROUNDS OF PRECIP
EXPECTED TO AFFECT THE AREA. UPDATE ON THE WAY.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...

NEXT SYSTEM TO AFFECT OUR REGION...A NEGATIVELY TILTED UPPER LEVEL
TROUGH...IS CURRENTLY PUSHING THROUGH THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN STATES PER
WATER VAPOR IMAGE...AND WILL BEGIN TO TRACK INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS
BY LATER THIS MORNING. OUT AHEAD OF THE FEATURE...SCATTERED SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BEGUN TO DEVELOP OVER THE EASTERN PORTIONS OF
NEBRASKA IN AN AREA OF MID LEVEL WAA/THETA E ADVECTION...WITH
HEAVIEST PRECIPITATION OCCURRING BACK THROUGH FAR SOUTH CENTRAL NE
WHERE BETTER UPPER SUPPORT LIES. THIS ACTIVITY WILL CONTINUE TO
EXPAND AND MOVE NORTHWARD THROUGH THE EARLY MORNING HOURS...AND WILL
MOST LIKELY REACH OUR FAR SOUTHERN ZONES AFTER 12Z. EXPECT ACTIVITY
TO PICK UP BY 18Z AS STRONGER DIV Q BEGINS TO ENCROACH ON THE
SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF OUR CWA. BEST UPPER SUPPORT SLIDES OVER OUR
SOUTHEASTERN ZONES LATER THIS AFTERNOON...AND THUS HAVE HIGHEST POPS
LOCATED OVER THIS AREA. WITH CLOUDS AND SHOWERS...TEMPERATURES WILL
STAY JUST EITHER SIDE OF 60 ACROSS THE AREA.

AS UPPER LEVEL LOW BEGINS TO CLOSE OFF OVER NEBRASKA TONIGHT AND
BETTER DYNAMICS PUSH OVER THE REGION...RAINFALL WILL INCREASE OVER
THE ENTIRE CWA...WITH AROUND AN INCH PLUS OF ACCUMULATION POSSIBLE
ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA THROUGH THE NIGHT TIME HOURS. MAY WRAP
AROUND A LITTLE DRIER AIR INTO OUR SOUTHEASTERN ZONE BY THE VERY
EARLY MORNING HOURS OF THURSDAY...AND THUS TAPERED OFF POPS SLIGHTLY
OVER THIS AREA TO ACCOUNT FOR THAT. AS LOW PRESSURE WRAPS UP JUST TO
OUR EAST ON THURSDAY MORNING...AN INCREASING PRESSURE
GRADIENT/CAA/AND RISING SURFACE PRESSURE THROUGH CENTRAL SOUTH
DAKOTA WILL INDUCE WINDY CONDITIONS OVER THE AREA. WINDS WILL BEGIN
TO PICK UP IN OUR FAR WESTERN ZONES ON THURSDAY MORNING...WITH
INCREASING WINDS MOVING EASTWARD THROUGH THE DAY. WITH THE STRONG
NORTHWESTERLY FLOW/CAA...TEMPERATURES WILL HAVE A HARD TIME GOING
ANYWHERE...AND MAY EVEN FALL SLIGHTLY IN OUR WEST DURING THE DAY.
WILL CONTINUE WITH HIGHEST POPS IN OUR EASTERN ZONES ON THURSDAY
WITH THE DEPARTING LOW. COULD SEE AN ADDITIONAL HALF INCH OR MORE OF
RAINFALL ACCUMULATION THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.

WILL BEGIN TO TO LOSE UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT FAIRLY QUICKLY ON THURSDAY
NIGHT...SO WILL SEE RAIN TAPERING OFF FROM WEST TO EAST DURING THE
NIGHT TIME HOURS. WITH DECREASING CLOUDS ON FRIDAY...WILL HAVE A
WARMER DAY...THOUGH WILL REMAIN BREEZY WITH RATHER STOUT PRESSURE
GRADIENT REMAINING OVER THE REGION ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE LOW.
SATURDAY LOOKING EVEN WARMER OUT AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT
FROM THE WEST.

&&

.AVIATION...
LOW LYING STRATUS AT OR BELOW 1000FT AGL IS EXPECTED TO QUICKLY
OVERSPREAD THE REMAINDER OF THE REGION TODAY. IN ADDITION TO THE
STRATUS...ANOTHER STRONG UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL LIFT
NORTHEAST ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN PLAINS OVER THE NEXT 12-48
HOURS...SPREADING MORE WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION CHANCES ACROSS THE
AREA...ESPECIALLY TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY. THE ATMOSPHERE WILL BE
UNSTABLE ENOUGH TO PRODUCE SOME THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE AREA
THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND THURSDAY EVENING...BEFORE TRANSITIONING TO A
MORE WIDESPREAD SHOWER EVENT.
