AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ABERDEEN SD
342 AM CDT SUN OCT 26 2008

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY
EVERYTHING CONTINUES TO COME TOGETHER FOR THE LIKELIHOOD OF A HIGH
WIND EVENT ACROSS ALL OF THE CWA FOR TODAY INTO EARLY EVENING.
WINDS ACROSS THE CWA EARLY THIS MORNING WERE ALREADY IN THE 20 TO
40 MPH RANGE. VAD WINDS ACROSS THE REGION WERE SHOWING 50 TO 70
KNOT WINDS OFF THE SURFACE. ALL MODEL SOUNDINGS POINT TO THE
LAPSE RATES STEEPENING UP QUICKLY THIS MORNING AS COLDER AIR MOVES
IN FROM THE NORTHWEST. THEY ALSO SHOW A DEEP MIXING LAYER
DEVELOPING THROUGH THE MID MORNING HOURS WITH 35 TO 55 KNOT WINDS
THROUGHOUT THIS MIXED LAYER. ALONG WITH THIS...THE SURFACE
PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL CONTINUE TO TIGHTEN UP ACROSS THE CWA
THROUGH THE MORNING. GUIDANCE FOR ALL SITES ACROSS THE AREA SHOWS
SUSTAINED WINDS IN THE 33 TO 37 KNOT RANGE. THUS BASED ON ALL OF
THIS...WILL UPGRADE HIGH WIND WATCH TO A HIGH WIND WARNING FOR
THE ENTIRE CWA FROM 10Z TO 01Z. OTHERWISE OUTSIDE OF THE WINDS
TODAY IT WILL BE MUCH COLDER. TEMPERATURES EARLY THIS MORNING
HAVE NOT FALLEN OFF MUCH WITH ONGOING MIXING. EXPECT THE HIGHS FOR
THE DAY TO BE THIS MORNING WITH NEARLY STEADY TEMPERATURES THROUGH
THE REST OF THE DAY. ALSO FOR TODAY...SOUNDINGS INDICATE MIXED
LAYER CLOUDS DEVELOPING. A SHORT WAVE TROUGH DROPPING SOUTHEAST
FROM CANADA THIS MORNING AND ACROSS THE CWA WILL BRING SOME CLOUD
COVER WITH IT. THERE MAY ALSO BE SOME ISOLD -RA/-SN TODAY IN THE
CWA. WILL LEAVE IT OUT FOR NOW.

FOR TONIGHT...THE WINDS WILL DROP OFF...THE SKIES WILL CLEAR AND
THE TEMPERATURES WILL FALL INTO THE TEENS ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA.
IT WILL FEEL PRETTY COLD WITH FALLING TEMPERATURES AND WINDS
STAYING UP. THE STRONG HIGH PRESSURE AREA OUT WEST ON MONDAY
MORNING WILL SLIDE SLOWLY EAST THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT. EXPECT
ANOTHER MUCH BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURE DAY ACROSS THE CWA ON MONDAY
DESPITE ALL OF THE SUNSHINE AS 85H TEMPERATURES REMAIN IN THE -2C
TO -10C RANGE. MONDAY NIGHTS LOWS WILL BE TRICKY AS WAA RETURNS
BEHIND THE EXITING SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE AREA. BELIEVE WITH THE COOL
HIGHS ON MONDAY AND THE SURFACE INVERSION FORMING QUICKLY MONDAY
EVENING...MOST OF THE WARM AIR WILL REMAIN ABOVE THE SURFACE.
THUS...WITH THE WINDS BECOMING LIGHT SOUTH...EXPECT TEMPERATURES
TO FALL INTO THE TEENS ON MONDAY NIGHT. LOWERED THE TEMPERATURES
FOR MONDAY NIGHT BUT NOT QUITE AS FAR AS GUIDANCE WAS SHOWING WITH
LOWS IN THE SINGLE DIGITS FOR SEVERAL LOCATIONS BY TUESDAY
MORNING. IT WILL BE A MUCH WARMER DAY ON TUESDAY AS SOUTH TO
SOUTHWEST WINDS BRING IN WARMER AIR WITH ABUNDANT SUNSHINE AS THE
MODELS SHOW LOW MEAN RH OVER THE AREA.

.LONG TERM...TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY
UPPER LEVEL RIDGING WILL MOVE ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS TUESDAY
NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON BRINGING DRY CONDITIONS AND
RATHER MILD TEMPS FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. MODELS STILL SHOWING 850
MB TEMPS IN THE TEENS WHICH SHOULD ALLOW SURFACE TEMPERATURES TO
REACH THE 60S IN MANY LOCATIONS ON WEDNESDAY...EVEN INTO THURSDAY.
MODELS ALSO SHOWING A WEAK SHORTWAVE TROUGH MOVING ACROSS THE AREA
LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THROUGH THE FIRST PART OF THURSDAY.
ATMOSPHERE LOOKS VERY DRY AS THIS WAVE MOVES THROUGH AND VERY
LITTLE DYNAMICS ASSOCIATED WITH IT SO WILL MAINTAIN A DRY
FORECAST. IT APPEARS A SHOT OF COOLER AIR WILL MOVE SOUTH INTO THE
REGION ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE SLIDES SOUTH FROM
CANADA. 12Z EC RUN HAS BEEN ABOUT 24 HOURS LATER THAN THE GFS IN
REGARDS TO ITS TRACK SOUTH INTO MINNESOTA. NOW THE 00Z EC IS MORE
IN LINE WITH THE 00Z GFS AND BRINGS THE SURFACE HIGH INTO THE
ARROWHEAD OF MINNESOTA REGION AT ROUGHLY THE SAME TIME.

&&

.AVIATION...
VFR CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST TODAY AT ALL TAF SITES WITH SCT TO
SOMETIMES BKN CIGS GENERALLY IN THE 6000 TO 15000 FT RANGE. THE
BIG STORY WILL BE THE STRONG WINDS. SFC WINDS WILL INCREASE
THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND PEAK BY LATE MORNING AND THROUGH MID TO
LATE AFTERNOON. SUSTAINED SFC WIND SPEEDS WILL RANGE FROM 25 TO 35
KNOTS WITH GUSTS OVER 45 OR PERHAPS 50 KNOTS AT TIMES. WINDS IN
THE FIRST SEVERAL THOUSAND FEET FROM THE SFC WILL ALSO BE STRONG
AND RANGE FROM 40 TO 60 KNOTS.
