AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION FOR SOUTHEAST SD/SOUTHWEST MN/NORTHWEST IA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SIOUX FALLS SD
930 PM CDT FRI AUG 10 2007

.DISCUSSION...
OUTFLOW FROM EARLY/MID AFTN CONVECTION PUSHED WELL THRU ERN NEBRASKA
WITH MUCH MORE STABLE AIR POOL NOW SITTING ACRS SERN SD.  AS STORMS
MOVED BY TO S LATE AFTN AT KFSD...ACTUALLY RESULTED IN MIXING TO
WARMEST TMPS OF DAY AS RAIN DISSIPATED UNDER FULL CLOUDINESS JUST
AFTER 4 PM.  SIMILAR WITH STORM RECENTLY AT KICR...WHICH SAW A 14F
DROP IN DWPT AS STORM PASSED JUST S WITH A MORE MODEST RISE IN TMP.
CHALLENGE FOR THE EVENING IS INDEED DEFINING CONVECTIVE THREAT ACRS
THE AREA...AS SCATTERED SUPERCELLS HAVE PERSISTED THRU CNTRL DKTS
AND WRN NEBRASKA.

BIG QUESTION OF THE NIGHT IS HOW EFFECTIVELY THE STORMS WILL BECOME
ELEVATED AS THEY HEAD INTO A LESSER QUALITY AIRMASS.  00Z RAOB FROM
ABR DOES NOT LOOK VERY GOOD...BUT THERE IS POTENTIAL IF MOISTURE IN
LOW LVLS CAN BECOME DEEPER PER OAX RAOB...WHICH GETS SOME DECENT
INSTABILITY ROOTED CLOSE TO 800 HPA WITH ELEVATED CINS DROPPING TO
30-50 J/KG. SO FAR...STORM HAVE REMAINED IN BACK ACRS CNTRL SD WHERE
MORE SFC BASED AND IN THE BETTER MOISTURE TRANSPORT AXIS...BUT LLJ
IS EXPECTED TO VEER/INCREASE IN THE NEXT 3-6H. HAVE RECENTLY SEEN
SOME INCREASE IN THE LLJ AT NLG PROFILER AS WELL AS REGIONAL VWP
TOWARD THE 30-40 KT RANGE ARND 850 HPA. WOULD EXPECT THAT MOST OF
THE CONVECTION OVERNIGHT WOULD OCCUR N OF A YKN/FSD/MWM LINE...
SHIFTING FOCUS RAPIDLY TO ELEVATED DEVELOPMENT ALG MID LVL
INSTABILITY GRADIENT ECNTRL SD TO SW MN.

UPDATED GRIDS SEVERAL HOURS AGO TO MINIMIZE EVNG PCPN THREAT...
AND SPREAD ACTION SLOWLY IN FM W. WL CERTAINLY CONTINUE TO WATCH AND
MAKE ADJUSTMENTS LATER THIS EVENING AS DIAGNOSIS OF WHETHER WRN
ACTION CAN BECOME ELEVATED BEFORE DIURNAL CYCLE HURTS IT TOO MUCH.

&&

.AVIATION...
CONVECTIVE THREAT...AT LEAST ISOLATED CONVECTION TO CONTINUE THROUGH
MUCH OF NIGHT WITH DEVELOPING LOW LEVEL JET EXPECT TO FUEL DYNAMICS
FROM PASSING SHORTWAVE TONIGHT...MAINLY IN AREAS   SHOULD BE ENOUGH
MIXING TO CURTAIL FOG DEVELOPMENT TONIGHT...AND CIGS/VSBYS SHOULD
GENERALLY REMAIN VFR...EVEN IN THE VICINITY OF THUNDERSTORMS...WITH
THE EXCEPTION OF MVFR CONDITIONS IN LOCALLY HEAVY DOWNPOURS...AND
PERHAPS A LITTLE MVFR FOG ARND THE KSUX AREA. VFR ACROSS AREA AFTER
13Z.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...
WARM NIGHT AHEAD WITH LOCALLY HIGH DEWPOINTS...LINGERING CLOUD
COVER...AND CONTINUED SOUTHEAST WINDS. MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGE
REMAINS PRECIPITATION CHANCES OVERNIGHT WITH SW PUSHING THROUGH.
EXPECT MAIN SEVERE THREAT TO REMAIN NORTH OF CWA...WITH AIRMASS
RELATIVELY COOL AND FLOW ORIGINATING OFF THE RAIN COOLED AIRMASS.
OF COURSE...WILL DEPEND ON HOW QUICKLY WESTERN CWA CAN RECOVER.
MODELS IN RELATIVE AGREEMENT ON PLACEMENT AND TIMING...BUT NAM GETS
A LITTLE MORE EXCITED ON QPF. WAVE LOOKS CONVECTIVE...SO HAVE GONE
WITH ISOLD TSTMS DISSIPATING BY MORNING...WITH HIGHER COVERAGE IN SW
MN. HAVE LEFT OUT POPS AFTER 12Z...BUT MAY NEED TO BE MONITORED FOR
LINGERING SHRA IN ERN CWA.

CLOUDS WILL CLEAR AND LOOKS TO BE A WARM AND SULTRY DAY TOMORROW AS
A WEAK COLD FRONT SLIDE THROUGH THE AREA.  RIGHT NOW...ATMOSPHERE
LOOKS TO REMAIN CAPPED AND THE FRONTAL PASSAGE WILL BE DRY. MODELS
ARE SUGGESTING THE FRONT WOULD MAKE IT DOWN TO SOUTHERN NEBRASKA
BEFORE LIFTING BACK NORTH EARLY NEXT WEEK. 850 MB FORECASTED TEMPS
ARE SLIGHTLY COOLER THAN PREVIOUSLY EXPECTED...AND HAVE LOWERED
HIGHS SLIGHTLY FOR TOMORROW. WITH THAT SAID...STILL FORECASTING HEAT
ADVISORY CONDITIONS ALONG AND SOUTH OF A LINE FROM VERMILLION TO
STORM LAKE.  WITH CONDITIONS BEING ON THE CUSP OF ADVISORY
LEVELS...WILL ALLOW NEXT SHIFT A CHANCE TO RE-EVALUATE BEFORE
ISSUING.

EAST TO NORTHEAST FLOW WILL REMAIN OVER THE FORECAST AREA ON SUNDAY
NORTH OF THE FRONT.  WITH THIS UNFAVORABLE WIND DIRECTION FOR MIXING
AND THE COOLER TEMPS ALOFT...HAVE TRENDED HIGHS BACK BUT NEXT SHIFT
MAY NEED TO CONTINUE THE TREND. FRONT LIFTS BACK TO THE NORTH ON
SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY AS A WARM FRONT.  WARM AIR ADVECTION ON
SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY MAY KICK OFF SOME THUNDERSTORMS. BEST
CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS LOOK TO BE ACROSS EASTERN PORTIONS OF CWA.
WITH 850 MB TEMPS WARMING INTO THE UPPER 20S...COULD BE A DOWNRIGHT
HOT DAY DEPENDING ON CLOUD COVER.

ANOTHER COLD FRONT LOOKS TO MAKE ITS WAY THROUGH THE AREA MONDAY
NIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING. THIS FRONT LOOKS TO HANG AROUND THE
SOUTHERN EDGE OF THE CWA...AND WITH THE RIGHT REAR QUADRANT OF THE
130+ KNOT JET STREAK TO THE NORTH ENHANCING THE LIFTING POTENTIAL AS
A SERIES OF SHORTWAVES TRAVERSE THE CWA. HAVE INCREASED POPS SOME ON
WEDNESDAY.

THEREAFTER SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE REGION AND HAVE
KEPT THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST DRY WITH NEAR NORMAL TEMPERATURES.
