.UPDATE...

COUNTIES.  REST OF FORECAST ON TRACK.

&&
.PREV DISCUSSION...
.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH 12Z THURSDAY
BIGGEST CHALLENGE FACING THE SHORT TERM REVOLVES AROUND PCPN
CHCS/TIMING/COVERAGE AND QPF AMOUNTS.

VIGOROUS SFC LOW STILL SETTING UP ACROSS SRN MT/NRN WY WITH A WARM
FRONT DRAPED ACROSS THE SD/NEB BORDER AT 19Z. DWPTS ALONG THE
FRONT ARE POOLING AND NOW IN THE U50S/L60S...WITH GOOD BACKING
NOTED IN THE SFC WIND FIELD ACROSS THE FRONT FROM SOUTH TO NORTH.
MODELS ARE STILL IN GOOD AGREEMENT ON VERY WARM 7H TEMPS NOSING
INTO SC SD THIS EVENING...WITH BROAD AREA OF +12C TEMPS ENABLING
CAP ACROSS THE AREA. HOWEVER...RUC IS SHOWING 1KM MIXED SPEC
HUMIDITIES CLIMBING TO 12+ G/KB BY 06Z TONIGHT...AND 85H WINDS
INCREASE TO OVER 50KTS ACROSS THE EAST LATER TONIGHT...WHERE 7H
TEMPS ARE A BIT WEAKER. OF NOTE IS THAT THE 18Z NAM12 IS SHOWING
7H-5H LAPSE RATES TO BE MUCH STEEPER THAN THE 85H-5H
VALUES...LENDING VALIDITY TO THOUGHT OF ELEVATED CONVECTION
OVERNIGHT. WITH PWATS INCREASING TO NEAR 2 BY 12Z WEDNESDAY...AND
COUNTY FFG STILL REMAINING AROUND 1.5/3 HOURS...SEE NO NEED TO
DROP ONGOING FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR THE NRN TIER COUNTIES THATS
CURRENTLY IN PLACE. THE WATCH MAY BE A BIT LONG LIVED FOR THE
EASTERN COUNTIES...BUT WOULD RATHER END EARLY THAN HAVE TO WORRY
ABOUT EXTENDING.

PROBLEM THEN SHOWS UP FOR WEDNESDAY. THE MODELS CONT TO SHOW
7H/85H DOWNGLIDE SETTING UP ACROSS THE CWA DURING THE DAY
WEDNESDAY...WITH COLD FRONT PUSHING BEST LOLVL MOISTURE TO THE
EASTERN PART OF THE CWA. BY 00Z BEST 85H AND 7H THETA-E FORCING
HAS MOVED INTO EXTREME WRN MN AND OUT OF CWA...SO TIMING THE END
OF THE RAINFALL WEDNESDAY AFTN IS A BIT TRICKY. HAVE CONTINUED A
SLIGHT CHC OF SHOWERS FOR THE FAR WRN CWA WED AFTN/EVEN DUE TO
COOLISH 5H TEMPS AND SOME SUNSHINE EXPECTED TO START OFF THE
DAY...AIDING IN INSTAB SHOWER POTENTIAL. EXPECT A FAIRLY QUICK
CLEARING TO THE CLDS AND PCPN WEDNESDAY EVEN AS DRY AIR CONTS TO
PUSH IN FROM THE WEST...WITH SUBSIDENCE TAKING PLACE ON SOUTHERN
SECTOR OF CLOSED LOW.

.LONG TERM THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY
THE PERIOD OPENS WITH A CLOSED H5 LOW OVER SOUTHERN CANADA...AND
TROF AXIS THROUGH MUCH OF THE CENTRAL PLAINS STATES. THURSDAY AND
FRIDAY WILL BE ON THE COOL SIDE WITH H850 TEMPS IN THE SINGLE
DIGITS. EXPECT CU DEVELOP IN THE AFTERNOON HOURS BOTH DAYS WITH
MARGINAL MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES AND COLD H5 TEMPS. THE NORMAL
DIURNAL DRIVEN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. THE UPPER LEVEL TROF
PUSHES EAST...ALLOWING FOR A RIDGE TO BUILD INTO THE PLAIN STATES.
THIS RIDGE WILL HELP PUSH TEMPS BACK TO NEAR NORMAL. A SHORT WAVE
RIDE OVER THE RIDGE...BRINGING A CHANCE OF QPF TO THE EASTERN
DAKOTAS AND WESTERN MINNESOTA.

SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY
GFS AND ECMWF BOTH SHOW A DISTURBANCE PASSING THROUGH THE PATTERN
SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY. GFS MODEL RUNS NOT TERRIBLY CONSISTENT
AT THIS POINT...AS 06Z RUN SHOWED A CLOSED LOW PASSING TO THE
NORTH AND BACKED IT OFF TO ONLY A SHORTWAVE TROF ON 12Z RUN. FOR
NOW STUCK WITH SLIGHT CHANCE POPS FOR UNCERTAINTY OF TIMING
INTENSITY AND TRACK. RIDGE MOVES OVERHEAD MONDAY
NIGHT...DOMINATING PATTERN THROUGH END OF PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION...
CONVECTION IS DEVELOPING IN THE WEST PART OF THE STATE. CONDITIONS
WILL QUICKLY DETERIORATE THIS EVENING AS IFR CONDITIONS IN CEILING
AND VISIBILITY BECOME MORE COMMON UNDER CONVECTION.
