Area forecast discussion, Oct 18, 4:28 AM CDT, 5 hours 1 minute before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION FOR SOUTHEAST SD/SOUTHWEST MN/NORTHWEST IA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SIOUX FALLS SD
428 AM CDT THU OCT 18 2007

.DISCUSSION...
ANOTHER WET DAY ON TAP TODAY AS UPPER LOW SWINGS NORTHEAST ACROSS
THE AREA. AS OF 08Z...SURFACE LOW POSITIONED JUST SOUTH OF KSUX WITH
UPPER LOW CENTERED SLIGHTLY WEST...NEAR OR JUST SOUTHWEST OF NELIGH
NEBRASKA PER VWP AND PROFILER MID LEVEL WIND PLOTS. MODELS SIMILAR
IN KICKING THIS WAVE NORTHEAST INTO SOUTHERN MINNESOTA BY EARLY
EVENING...AND TO NEAR WESTERN LAKE SUPERIOR BY DAYBREAK FRIDAY...AS
100+ KT UPPER JET ROUNDS THE BASE AND SHIFTS NORTHEAST THROUGH THE
MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND INTO THE CENTRAL GREAT LAKES. DRIER MID
LEVEL AIR PROGGED TO SPILL IN BEHIND THE UPPER WAVE...WITH BROAD
DOWNGLIDE SEEN ON ISENTROPIC SURFACES...AND THINK THIS WILL CUT OFF
PRECIP A LITTLE MORE QUICKLY FROM THE SOUTHWEST OVERNIGHT...WITH A
FEW SHOWERS STILL POSSIBLY LINGERING IN FAR NORTHEAST CORNER OF FA
INTO EARLY FRIDAY. GENERALLY JUST LOOKING AT SHOWERS FOR TODAY...BUT
MODELS STILL SHOWING A BIT OF INSTABILITY ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST AND
EASTERN AREAS OF THE CWA THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON...SO HAVE INCLUDED
ISOLATED THUNDER IN THESE AREAS.

OTHER CHALLENGE TODAY IS HOW MUCH WINDS WILL INCREASE ON BACK SIDE
OF DEEPENING LOW PRESSURE AS IT LIFTS NORTHEAST. STRONGEST 850MB
WINDS PUSH 50KTS IN SOUTHWEST CORNER OF THE CWA THIS AFTERNOON...
BUT ONLY MODEST PRESSURE RISES OF 1-3MB/3HR WITH STRONGER PRESSURE
RISES REMAINING SOUTHWEST OF FA...AND 925MB ONLY PROGGED IN 25-30KT
RANGE. THIS COMBINED WITH WIDESPREAD LOW CLOUDS AND RAIN EXPECTED TO
INHIBIT STRONGEST WINDS FROM REACHING THE SURFACE...AND HAVE OPTED
TO FORGO ADVISORY FOR NOW. HOWEVER DAY SHIFT WILL WANT TO WATCH THE
MISSOURI VALLEY CLOSELY THIS AFTERNOON...AND MAY ALSO HAVE TO LOOK
AT BUFFALO RIDGE TONIGHT WHERE HIGHER ELEVATIONS MAY COME INTO PLAY.

AFTER RAIN EXITS THE AREA EARLY FRIDAY...LOOKING AT CLEARING SKIES
FOR THE FIRST PART OF THE WEEKEND WITH RISING HEIGHTS AND FAVORABLE
SOUTH/SOUTHWEST WINDS AHEAD OF COLD FRONT HELPING TO MIX SOME WARMER
AIR TO THE SURFACE ON SATURDAY. GUIDANCE NUMBERS IN THE UPPER 60S TO
LOWER 70S LOOK PRETTY GOOD AND DID NOT STRAY FROM THEM TOO FAR.

WARMUP WILL BE BRIEF...WITH NEXT TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT
MOVING ACROSS THE AREA SATURDAY NIGHT AND EARLY SUNDAY. SOME POST
FRONTAL SHOWERS POSSIBLE AS BAND OF STRONG MID LEVEL FRONTOGENESIS
SLIDES THROUGH...WITH HIGHS SUNDAY BACK TO NORMAL LEVELS IN THE MID
TO UPPER 50S.

COULD BE COOLER EVEN WITH SOME SUNSHINE ON MONDAY IF SUBZERO 850MB
TEMPS FROM 00Z GFS VERIFY ACROSS THE NORTHEAST CWA. MODEL HAS BEEN
FLIPPING BACK AND FORTH ON INTENSITY OF THIS COLD SURGE OVER THE
PAST FEW DAYS THOUGH...SO DID NOT MAKE ANY SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO
GOING FORECAST TEMPS AT THIS TIME.

&&

.AVIATION...

EXPECT WIDESPREAD SHOWER COVERAGE TO INCREASE OVER THE AREA THROUGH
THE MORNING AND CONTINUE THROUGHOUT MUCH OF THE DAY...WITH LOW END
MVFR TO IFR CEILINGS AND MVFR VISIBILITIES IN ANY SHOWER ACTIVITY.
SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS WILL INCREASE TO 20 TO 30 KTS...WITH HIGHER
GUSTS...OUT OF THE NORTHWEST AT KHON BY 15Z...THEN NEAR THE KFSD
AND KSUX TAF SITES BY 18Z.

&&

.FSD WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
SD...NONE.
MN...NONE.
IA...NONE.
NE...NONE.
