AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION FOR SOUTHEAST SD/SOUTHWEST MN/NORTHWEST IA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SIOUX FALLS SD
844 PM CDT SUN JUL 15 2007

.DISCUSSION...
CONVECTION TEASING THE AREA FROM THE SOUTH THIS EVENING AND AGAIN
LATER TONIGHT FROM THE NORTH. THE CELL JUST SOUTH OF YANKTON GROWING
IN TO QUITE THE STORM AS OF 840 PM CDT. IF THIS STORM CAN HOLD
TOGETHER...MAY BE ISSUING FOR SOUTHERN CLAY AND DIXON. BETTER UPPER
LEVEL SUPPORT DIVES SOUTH TONIGHT FROM NORTHERN MN...AND THIS MAY
ALSO BRING SOME STRONG STORMS TO MAINLY SOUTHWEST MINNESOTA AFTER
ABOUT MIDNIGHT.

.PREV DISCUSSION...
TWO PRECIP CONCERNS OVERNIGHT.  THE FIRST IS ASSOCIATED WITH A WEAK
WAVE MOVING INTO SOUTH CENTRAL SOUTH DAKOTA. THIS WAVE HAS PRODUCED
SOME MID LEVEL SHOWERS EARLY THIS AFTERNOON WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE
SOUTHEAST TOWARD THE MISSOURI RIVER. IN ADDITION...IT WILL BECOME
INCREASINGLY UNSTABLE ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL SD LATE THIS AFTERNOON
AND TONIGHT. TEMPS HAVE REMAINED SOMEWHAT COOL SO SOME CONVECTIVE
INHIBITION WILL NEED TO BE OVERCOME. THEREFORE HAVE KEPT POPS IN THE
30 TO RANGE FOR SCATTERED STORM.  BEST CHANCE WILL BE PRIOR TO
SUNSET AND COULD REACH AS FAR EAST AS SIOUX CITY. THERE IS ENOUGH
SHEAR AND DRY AIR IN PLACE THAT AN ISOLATED SEVERE WIND AND HAIL IS
POSSIBLE.

THE SECOND CHANCE OF PRECIP WILL COME WITH AN ADVANCING SHORTWAVE
MOVING INTO MN LATE THIS AFTERNOON. CONVECTION WILL CERTAINLY
DEVELOP ACROSS MINNESOTA...THE QUESTION IS WILL IT BE FAR ENOUGH
SOUTHWEST TO HIGH MARSHALL AND JACKSON. BECAUSE OF THIS UNCERTAINTY
HAVE KEPT POPS AROUND 40 IN THIS AREA AND DROPPED IT TO 20 FROM BKX
TO PQN TO SLB. 1-6 KM SHEAR IS AROUND 40 KTS LATE TONIGHT WHICH IS
MORE THAN ADEQUATE TO SUPPORT ROTATING UPDRAFTS AND ISOLATED LARGE
HAIL.  THE OUTFLOW FROM THESE STORMS WILL REINFORCE THE FRONT AND
SHOULD DRIVE THE FRONT INTO SW MN BY LATE TONIGHT WITH TOWARD I90
BY 15Z. NAM LOOKS FAR TOO STRONG AND FAST WITH THIS FRONT GIVEN
SCATTERED NATURE OF CONVECTION AND FACT THIS WAVE IS NOT DIGGING
BUT JUST MOVING WITH THE NW FLOW. SO EXPECT FRONT WILL GRADUALLY
SLOW AND SHALLOW OUT AS IT MOVES SOUTHWEST ON MONDAY.

GFS AND NAM USUAL OPPOSITE EXTREMES WITH FRONTAL POSITIONS AND
MIXING POTENTIAL...WITH REALITY SOMEWHERE IN BTWN NEXT FEW DAYS...
CLOSER TO CANADIAN SFC PROG. SHOULD BE TOO MANY CAPPING ISSUES TO
PUT ANY CHC PRECIP IN THE FCST MON AFTN THRU WED...BUT WILL HAVE
TO WATCH FOR STRAY ISOLD CAP BUSTERS. ELY OUTFLOW WILL CUT BACK
HIGHS ESP N AND E IN CWA FOR MON...WITH LINGERING EFFECTS THRU TUE
MRNG. HOWEVER RETURN SSELY FLOW WARM AND MORE HUMID AIR SETS UP
AGAIN FM TUE AFTN THRU WED AND WILL KEEP IT PRETTY WARM ESP WEST
AND SOUTH IN CWA. BIG QUESTION IS TIMING OF MAJOR NRN STREAM PUSH
FM N TO S OVER CWA WED NGT THRU THU NGT. 12Z GFS LOOKS TOO STRONG
AND SLOW WITH OVERDONE CYCLOGENESIS AND QPF...WITH LATEST ECMWF
AND CANADIAN WEAKER AND FASTER...AND LATER FCSTS MAY HAVE TO SPEED
THINGS UP. ALL MODELS IMPLY CHC TSTMS DVLPG SSEWD OVR CWA SOMETIME
DURG THIS PERIOD...THE QUESTION IS HOW FAST. COOLED OFF TEMPS FM
PREV FCST FOR THU INTO THE WEEKEND...BUT NOT AS COOL AS GUIDANCE.
THU IS THE BIG PROBLEM WITH INITIAL PUSH...AND THE FCST MIGHT NOT
BE COOLER ENUF.

&&

.AVIATION...
TAF SITES ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN VFR THROUGH THE PERIOD. FROP LATE
TONIGHT IN KHON AND TOMORROW IN KFSD AND KSUX WILL RESULT IN A WIND
SHIFT BUT NO LOW CLOUDS OR CONVECTION EXPECTED. SCATTERED TSRA ARE
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ACROS TWEB ROUTE 243...MAINLY NORTHEAST OF
PIPESTONE MN.
