AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION FOR SOUTHEAST SD/SOUTHWEST MN/NORTHWEST IA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SIOUX FALLS SD
1040 AM CDT THU MAY 29 2008

.DISCUSSION...
LATEST NAM GUIDANCE SHOWS THE SFC WRMFNT TRYING TO LIFT NWD THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING...EVENTUALLY TO A POSITION FROM JERAULD COUNTY
IN CENTRAL SD...EWD TO COTTONWOOD COUNTY IN SW MN. RAIN COOLED
STRATUS CONTS TO BE THE MAIN CHALLENGE IN FIGURING OUT SVR WX
DEVELOPMENT LATER TODAY. MUCH OF NORTH CENTRAL TO NE NEB IS MIRED IN
STRATUS. BUT SOME OF THAT WL LIKELY BEGIN TO ERODE AS MIDDAY
PROGRESSES AS IT LOOKS FAIRLY SHALLOW ON THE VIS PICTURE. FURTHER
NORTH...THERE ARE A FEW BREAKS IN THE STRATUS IN THE FSD FA BUT FOR
THE TIME BEING...ANY CLEARING IN THIS FA WL BE HIGHLY SELF
DESTRUCTIVE FOR MUCH OF THE DAY. BUT AT ANY RATE...IF THE N CENTRAL
TO NERN SECTIONS OF NEB DO PARTIALLY CLEAR OUT AS THE AFTERNOON
PROGRESSES...ONE CAN EXPECT RAPID DESTABILIZATION IN THOSE AREAS
WITH STRONG...DEEP LYR SHEAR NOTED NEAR THE PROJECTED WRMFNT
BOUNDARY THRU THE SRN PARTS OF THE FSD FA. 50KTS OF BULK SHEAR.
LATEST NAM DOES TRY TO HINT AT SUPERCELLULAR DEVELOPMENT JUST SOUTH
OF GREGORY COUNTY SD BETWEEN 00Z AND 03Z THIS EVENING...THEN MOVG
EWD AS AN MCS ACROSS THE SRN PORTIONS OF THE FSD FA FM 03Z TO 09Z.
NEAR THE WRMFNT...TORNADIC ACTIVITY WL BE A THREAT...ESP THRU 03Z
WHICH WOULD LIKELY BE NEAR THE NEB BORDER FROM GREGORY COUNTY TO
PARTS OF NW IA.  ELSEWHERE...LARGE HAIL COULD BE A THREAT...ESP UP
TO AROUND I 90. INTERESTINGLY...THE THTE DIFFERENCE FM THE SFC TO
600MB IS NOT THAT HIGH...WHICH WOULD SUGGEST THAT WET MICROBURSTS
WOULD BE LIMITED TO THE STRONGEST CELLS...EITHER WITH SUPERCELLS OR
WITH THE STRONGEST CELLS OF AN ORGANIZED QLCS. BECAUSE OF THE MCS
THREAT TONIGHT...DECIDED TO EXPAND THE FFA A BIT WWD INTO YANKTON
COUNTY. THEY GOT A WIDESPREAD 1 TO 2.5 INCHES OF RAIN IN THOSE
LOCATIONS LAST NIGHT IN EXTREME SERN SD AND EXTREME NERN NEB. SO
FAR...TODAYS HIGHS LOOK PRETTY GOOD GIVEN THE FACT THAT SOME HIGHS
MAY BE REALIZED NEAR 00Z THIS EVENING. IN ADDITION...LATEST NAM
PAINTS MORE RAINFALL OVR THIS CWFA DURING THE EARLY AFTERNOON DUE TO
VERY STRONG ISENTROPIC LIFT AND RELATIVELY COOL AIR ALOFT.

&&
.AVIATION...
AVN IS A REAL CHALLENGE TODAY. RAIN COOLED STRATUS IS ABUNDANT OVR
MUCH OF THIS AREA THRU MIDDAY WITH IFR CONDS. VFR CONDS WL LIKELY
PREVAIL IN THE JAMES RIVER VALLEY THRU MIDDAY...BUT NAM RELATIVE
HUMIDITY TIME SECTIONS STRONGLY HINT THAT THESE AREAS WL FILL BACK
INTO MVFR THIS AFTERNOON. IT IS QUITE POSSIBLE THAT THIS AFTERNOON
THE KSUX AREA WL BE IN VFR TO HIGHER MVFR CONDS IF THE WRMFNT CONTS
TO MOVE NWD. BUT KFSD WL LIKELY STAY IN MVFR CONDS THRU THE
AFTERNOON. TONIGHT...A TS COMPLEX WL LIKELY MOVE ACROSS AREAS S OF I
90. TO THE NORTHWEST...THE KHON AREA COULD BEGIN TO CLEAR OUT LATE
TONIGHT BETWEEN 09Z AND 12Z. BUT PATCHY FOG COULD BE A THREAT IN
THAT AREA AROUND SUNRISE FRIDAY.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...
SCATTERED CONVECTION DEVELOPED ALONG THE 800MB AXIS OF
INSTABILITY/MOISTURE ADVECTION LATE LAST NIGHT BUT A MUCH LARGER
AREA OF CONVECTION DEVELOPED CLOSER TO THE 900MB FRONT IN NORTHERN
NEBRASKA. WITH PWAT VALUES AROUND 1.5 INCHES...RAINFALL RATES ARE
LIKELY TO EXCEED AN INCH AN HOUR AT TIMES AND SOME LOCATIONS ACROSS
NORTHEAST NEBRASKA AND NORTHWEST IOWA COULD END UP WITH AN INCH OR
TWO OF RAIN BY MID MORNING...WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR THAT MUCH MORE
AGAIN TONIGHT. BECAUSE OF THIS...WILL ISSUE A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR
TONIGHT FROM NORTHEAST NEBRASKA INTO NORTHWEST IOWA. EXPECT THE
MAJORITY OF THE CONVECTION TO WEAKEN BY LATE MORNING...BUT COULD SEE
SOME SPOTTY ACTIVITY THROUGHOUT THE DAY. EXPECT CONVECTION TO
REDEVELOP SOMEWHERE NEAR NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA INTO SOUTH CENTRAL
SD LATE THIS AFTERNOON WITH THIS ACTIVITY THEN SPREADING EAST AND
SOUTHEAST. THE SURFACE TO 925MB FRONT SHOULD FIND ITS WAY CLOSE TO
THE MISSOURI RIVER BY LATE AFTERNOON...WHICH WILL PUT OUR FAR SOUTH
AT RISK OF TORNADOES...SOME POTENTIALLY LARGE...WITH WELL BALANCED
SPEED AND DIRECTIONAL SHEAR AND A PRETTY CLASSIC LOOKING HODOGRAPH
FOR THE SOUTHERN TWO ROWS OF COUNTIES. OBVIOUS QUESTION THAT
UNFORTUNATELY CANNOT BE COMPLETELY ANSWERED IS WHAT AFFECT THE
MORNING CONVECTION AND MASSIVE AREAS OF STRATUS HAVE ON RETURN OF
MOISTURE/FRONT. FOR NOW...WILL BANK ON FAIRLY DEEP SOUTH TO
SOUTHEAST FLOW HAVING NO BIG PROBLEMS SETTING UP A FRONT OVER AT
LEAST NORTHERN NEBRASKA WHICH WILL AT A MINIMUM PUT OUR SOUTHERN
AREA IN A FLASH FLOOD RISK.

OTHERWISE...STILL SOME ELEVATED INSTABILITY ON FRIDAY SO WILL
CONTINUE THE AFTERNOON POPS FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS BUT NOT
BANKING ON A SEVERE THREAT. AFTER THIS...IT LOOKS PRETTY QUIET ON
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY WITH THE NEXT BETTER THREAT FOR RAIN AND
THUNDERSTORMS ON SUNDAY NIGHT.

BACKED OFF ON HIGHS TODAY A BIT WITH WIDESPREAD CLOUD COVER AND WILL
AIM FOR THE MID TO UPPER 60S OVER THE NORTH AND EAST CWA WITH UPPER
70S IN THE SOUTH. EXPECT TEMPERATURES TO FINALLY CLIMB TO NORMAL OR
ABOVE NORMAL ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY AS WEST WINDS DEVELOP BEHIND
THIS WAVE. LOWS MAINLY IN THE 50S THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK SHOULD BE
PRETTY COMMON.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR SOUTHEAST SOUTH DAKOTA...
SOUTHWEST MINNESOTA...NORTHWEST IOWA...AND NORTHEAST NEBRASKA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

THUNDERSTORMS...
CHANCES FOR NON SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE THIS AFTERNOON
THROUGH THIS AREA. HOWEVER IT IS NOT UNTIL LATE THIS AFTERNOON OR
EARLY EVENING WHEN ORGANIZED SEVERE TYPE THUNDERSTORMS WILL
DEVELOP. A HIGH RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS EXISTS LATE THIS
AFTERNOON AND ALL EVENING ALONG AND SOUTH OF A YANKTON SOUTH
DAKOTA TO IOWA GREAT LAKES LINE. A MODERATE RISK EXISTS
ADJACENTLY NORTH OF THAT AREA FOR THE REST OF SOUTHEAST SOUTH
DAKOTA...AND ALONG I 90 IN SOUTHWEST MINNESOTA. AT THIS TIME...IT
APPEARS THAT INITIAL SUPERCELL DEVELOPMENT COULD OCCUR NEAR A
WARM FRONT LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING...NEAR THE SOUTH
DAKOTA AND NEBRASKA BORDER AROUND GREGORY AND CHARLES MIX
COUNTIES. IT IS IN THAT AREA WHERE INITIAL DESTABILIZATION SHOULD
TAKE PLACE DUE TO PARTIAL CLEARING. THE STORMS WILL THEN LIKELY
ORGANIZE AND MOVE EASTWARD AS THE EVENING PROGRESSES. THE HIGHEST
THREAT FOR TORNADIC ACTIVITY...HAIL UP TO 2 INCHES IN DIAMETER
AND 70 MPH STRAIGHT LINE WINDS EXISTS IN THE HIGH RISK AREA.
ELSEWHERE...HAIL UP TO THE SIZE OF WALNUTS IS
POSSIBLE...DECREASING IN SIZE HEADING NORTH OF I 90 WHERE STORMS
WILL LIKELY BE MORE ELEVATED. IN ADDITION...BRIEF WIND GUSTS TO
60 MPH COULD OCCUR NEAR I 90 THIS EVENING...AGAIN DECREASING
MOVING NORTHWARD INTO LOW LEVEL AIR THAT IS A BIT MORE STABLE.

FLOODING...
A FLASH FLOOD WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR TONIGHT FOR EXTREME
SOUTHEAST SOUTH DAKOTA AND MUCH OF NORTHWEST IOWA...AS WELL AS
EXTREME NORTHEAST NEBRASKA. RAINFALL RATES UNDER THE STRONGER
CELLS THIS EVENING COULD EXCEED ONE INCH PER HOUR...CREATING
URBAN FLOODING AND FLOODING OF SMALL CREEKS AND STREAMS.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY

NO HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS EXPECTED AT THIS TIME.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL BE LIKELY AFTER 5 OR 6 PM.
