NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RAPID CITY SD
255 PM MDT SAT JUN 16 2007

.DISCUSSION...CURRENT SURFACE ANALYSIS HAS LOW PRESSURE OVER CENTRAL
WY...WITH FRONTAL BOUNDARY EXTENDING EAST-NORTHEAST ACROSS EASTERN
WY AND INTO FAR SOUTHERN SD. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS SHOWS WEAK UPPER
LEVEL ENERGY MOVING INTO CENTRAL WY. EARLIER THUNDERSTORMS OVER WEST
CENTRAL SD HAVE DISSIPATED AND EXITED EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA.
ELEVATED STORMS ARE DEVELOPING ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF WY WITH
NEXT WAVE AND LOOKS LIKE MORE SURFACE BASED STORMS ARE DEVELOPING
NEAR THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY AND DRY LINE ACROSS SOUTHEAST WY AND
WESTERN NEB PANHANDLE. 19Z KUNR SOUNDING SHOWED RATHER STRONG CAP IN
PLACE ACROSS OUR AREA. LATEST SEVERE STORM OUTLOOK FROM SPC STILL
SHOWS MODERATE RISK ACROSS FAR NORTHEAST WY AND FAR NORTHWEST
SD...WITH SLIGHT RISK ACROSS THE REST OF THE AREA. PATCHY AREAS OF
LOWER CLOUDS LEADING TO DIFFERENTIAL HEATING...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE
BLACK HILLS.

FORECAST THROUGH TONIGHT IS NOT CLEAR CUT...BUT STRONG POTENTIAL
EXISTS FOR SEVERE STORMS WHERE STORMS DO DEVELOP. THIS IS ESPECIALLY
TRUE IN THE MODERATE RISK AREA...WHICH WILL BE NORTH AND EAST OF
SURF LOW AS IT MOVES INTO NORTHEAST WY AND THE BLACK HILLS AREA THIS
EVENING. CAP SHOULD ERODE ENOUGH ACROSS NORTHEAST WY AND THE HILLS
AREA LATE THIS AFT OR EARLY EVENING FOR STORM DEVELOPMENT...
ESPECIALLY AS WAVE APPROACHES. STRONG INSTABILITY WILL BE IN PLACE
WITH MLCAPE ABOVE 1500 J/KG ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA. SHEAR WILL BE
PLENTY STRONG FOR SUPERCELLS ACROSS THE AREA AND AN ISOLATED TORNADO
THREAT WILL BE IN PLACE ACROSS FAR NORTHEAST WY AND FAR NORTHWEST
SD. MAIN THREAT WILL BE DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS
STORMS TRACK EAST ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE REGION. THREAT FOR HEAVY
RAIN EXISTS WITH MOISTURE IN PLACE. WILL ISSUE FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR
PORTIONS OF NORTHWEST AND WEST CENTRAL SD...WHERE UP TO 3 INCHES
OF RAIN FELL EARLIER TODAY AND ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAIN IS POSSIBLE.

ON SUNDAY...THREAT FOR SEVERE STORMS WILL SHIFT EAST OF THE HILLS AS
COLD FRONT SETS UP ACROSS WESTERN SD. THREAT SHOULD BE MAINLY DURING
THE AFTERNOON AS FRONT REACHES CENTRAL SD BY 00Z. COOLER CONDITIONS
WILL SETTLE IN FOR MONDAY WITH A FEW SHOWERS POSSIBLE ACROSS
NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA.

EXTENDED...MEDIUM RANGE GUIDANCE IN BETTER AGREEMENT WITH REGARD TO
THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK...WITH MAINLY ZONAL FLOW ACRS THE NRN PLAINS
WITH THE MAIN BELT OF WESTERLIES ALONG THE US/CNDN BORDER. THIS
WOULD RESULT IN TEMPS NEAR OR A BIT ABOVE AVG ALONG WITH A NEARLY
DAILY CHANCE FOR STORMS WITH DISTURBANCES EMBEDDED IN THE FLOW ALOFT.
TEMPS WILL LIKELY WARM EVEN FURTHER THE END OF NEXT WEEK AS UPR
RIDGE BUILDS EWD INTO THE NRN PLAINS. HOWEVER...LOW CHC POPS STILL
WARRANTED AS PATTERN WILL BE CONDUCIVE FOR DISTURBANCES CROSSING THE
PERIPHERY OF THE RIDGE.

&&

.AVIATION...TSTM DEVELOPMENT LIKELY AGAIN LATE THIS AFTN AND
CONTINUING THROUGH THE NIGHTTIME HOURS AS A VERY STRONG DISTURBANCE
CROSSES THE NRN PLAINS. STORMS MAY PRODUCE VERY HEAVY
RAINFALL...LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS...AND POSSIBLY TORNADOES AS
THEY MOVE EWD. OUTSIDE OF ANY TSTMS...VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED.

&&

.UNR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

     CENTRAL SOUTH DAKOTA.
