155 PM MDT FRI AUG 17 2007

.DISCUSSION...19Z SURFACE ANALYSIS HAS HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS
NORTHEASTERN NORTH DAKOTA WITH LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPING ACROSS
EASTERN WYOMING ALONG STATIONARY BOUNDARY. WARM FRONT EXTENDS FROM
LOW IN EASTERN WYOMING THROUGH WEST CENTRAL SOUTH DAKOTA. WINDS ARE
PRIMARILY OUT OF THE SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST AT 15 TO 25 MPH...WITH THE
EXCEPTION OF NORTHEAST WYOMING AND FAR NORTHWEST SOUTH DAKOTA. WINDS
ACROSS NORTHEAST WYOMING ARE LIGHT OUT OF THE WEST...AND BREEZY OUT
OF THE NORTHEAST ACROSS NORTHWEST SOUTH DAKOTA. TEMPERATURES ARE
PRIMARILY IN THE 70S AND 80S...BUT IN THE 60S ACROSS NORTHWEST SOUTH
DAKOTA. SOME TOWERING CU CURRENTLY DEVELOPING ACROSS THE NORTHERN
BLACK HILLS.

BOTH NAM AND GFS SHOW DECENT UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE CROSSING THE
FORECAST AREA THIS EVENING. WITH SURFACE FEATURES IN PLACE...MOIST
SOUTHERLY FLOW WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE MID 60S...DECENT INSTABILITY
PARAMETERS...AND ERODING CAP BY 6PM...SHOULD SEE A FEW STRONGER
STORMS GOING BY EARLY EVENING. STRONG SUPERCELLS MAY BE A RARITY
...AS SHEAR VALUES ARE MINIMAL AT BEST. PW IS WELL ABOVE SEASONAL
AVERAGES...SO CURRENT THINKING IS MAINLY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
WITH SPOTTY SEVERE STORMS. SOME HEAVY RAIN IS ALSO A POSSIBILITY OUT
OF THESE STORMS...AS MID LEVEL STEERING WINDS ARE NOT THAT STRONG.
BEST TIMING FOR SHORTWAVE LOOKS TO BE OVER THE BLACK HILLS REGION BY
EARLY EVENING...AND OVER THE CENTRAL SOUTH DAKOTA PLAINS AFTER
MIDNIGHT.

SHORTWAVE SLIDES EAST OF THE AREA BY SATURDAY...WITH THERMAL RIDGE
BUILDING BACK OVER THE REGION. WEAK DISTURBANCES WILL FLATTEN THE
RIDGE FOR THE WEEKEND...KEEPING A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS IN THE FORECAST. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN VERY WARM
THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

EXTENDED...A FLAT UPPER RIDGE WILL DOMINATE THE WEATHER NEXT WEEK
WITH SLOWLY INCREASING 500MB HEIGHTS. ENSEMBLES SHOW SOME
UNCERTAINTY WITH THE DETAILS...WITH A TIGHT THERMAL GRADIENT ACROSS
THE CWA. THUS WOULD EXPECT A BIT OF TSRA ACTIVITY. TEMPERATURES WILL
BE TRICKY WITH WIDE RANGES FROM NORTH TO SOUTH ACROSS THE CWA
EXPECTED.

&&

.AVIATION...A WARM FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA THIS
AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. IT WILL BRING INCREASING CHANCES FOR ACTIVE
TSRA...WITH MVFR CONDITIONS NEAR STORMS. MVFR CIGS FROM KD07-KBIS
WILL SLOWLY MIX OUT AND MOVE EAST AS WARM FRONT PROGRESSES THIS
AFTERNOON.
