AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION FOR SOUTHEAST SD/SOUTHWEST MN/NORTHWEST IA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SIOUX FALLS SD
850 PM CDT WED JUN 25 2008

.DISCUSSION...

LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE/SURFACE BOUNDARY CONTINUES TO STRETCH FROM
NORTH CENTRAL IOWA THROUGH EASTERN NEBRASKA BACK INTO THE NORTHERN
NEBRASKA PANHANDLE AT THIS TIME. PRESENTLY QUIET OVER OUR
CWA...WITH CLOSEST CONVECTION OVER CENTRAL IOWA IN ASSOCIATION WITH
AFOREMENTIONED FEATURE. REMOVED POPS IN OUR SOUTH THROUGH THE
EVENING HOURS WITH NO ADDITIONAL SHORT TERM DEVELOPMENT EXPECTED. TO
OUR OUR WEST...DEVELOPING MCS LOCATED OVER SOUTHWESTERN
SD/NORTHWESTERN NEBRASKA ALONG SURFACE FRONT AS MID/UPPER LEVEL WAVE
PUSHES OUT OF MONTANA AND WYOMING. SYSTEM PUSHING EVER SO SLOWLY TO
THE EAST...AND AT PRESENT SPEED...WOULD NOT GET INTO OUR FAR
SOUTHWESTERN ZONES UNTIL AFTER 07Z. SURROUNDING 00Z RAOBS CONTINUE
TO INDICATE THE PRESENCE OF VERY DRY MID LEVEL AIR OVER THE
REGION...SO STILL APPEARS THAT DAMAGING WIND WOULD BE THE GREATEST
THREAT WITH ANY SEVERE STORMS THAT DEVELOP...WITH LARGE HAIL A
SECONDARY THREAT. UPDATES OUT SHORTLY.  /JM

&&

.AVIATION...

VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH THE EVENING. A DEVELOPING MCS
THROUGH SOUTHWESTERN SOUTH DAKOTA...WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH TO THE
EAST OVERNIGHT...BRINGING LIKELY MVFR CIGS AND POTENTIALLY IFR VSBYS
AFT 08Z.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...

WV LOOP CONTINUES TO INDICATE WAVE SLIDING THRU CNTRL NEBRASKA...
BUT AT THIS POINT...THE SFC BNDRY IS NOW JUST S OF THE CWA BORDER
AND THE 0-2KM DEEP LOW LVL CONVERGENCE BNDRY IS NEARING A KSUX TO
KSLB LINE AS OF 20Z. A LITTLE CU LINE HAS DEVELOPED TOWARD THE BACK
EDGE OF THIS CONVERGENCE AREA...AND COULD VERY WELL REPRESENT THE
FINAL CHC LINE AS IT DROPS SWRD THIS EVENING. HOWEVER...EVEN WITH A
90F/70F STARTING POINT...THERE IS STILL A 40-50J/KG CAP ON THE 18Z
OMA TAMDAR SOUNDING.  SEVERE THREAT APPEARS TO BE DROPPING OFF FOR
THE EVENING HOURS ACRS THE AREA...WITH THE ONLY MINOR THREAT THRU
THE FAR SRN TIER OF COUNTIES AT THIS POINT...AND THAT IS IF IT CAN
PUNCH THE CAP AS THE WAVE APPROACHES TOWARD 00Z. WITH EFFECTIVE
SHEAR 25 KTS AT BEST...WL STILL BE LIVING IN THE MARGINAL MULTICELL
NEIGHBORHOOD...WITH HALF DOLLAR HAIL AT THE LARGEST SUPPORTED BY
INSTABILITY...AND SOME POTENTIAL FOR DAMAGING WINDS WITH PRESENCE OF
DRY LYR ALFT. OTHERWISE...WL HAVE TO WAIT FOR MORE SIGNIFICANT
ACTION TO DEVELOP LATE TONIGHT...IN THE FORM OF A MCS SPREADING ESE
OUT OF THE WRN DKTS LATE TONIGHT. PUSHED AREA OF PCPN A BIT FASTER
EWRD THAN MDLS INDICATE...CLOSER TO WHERE UPR IMPULSE TIMES OUT TO
THE JAMES VLY BY 12Z. BNDRY AND LLJ ORIENTATION WOULD SUGGEST THREAT
FOR SOME TRAINING CELLS AS WELL...LEADING TO HEAVY RAINFALL WHICH
WOULD BE A CONTINUED THREAT AS MCS MOVES ESE THRU EARLY THU AFTN.
ALSO LOOKING AT POTENTIAL FOR MAINLY A DAMAGING WIND/MARGINALLY
LARGE HAIL THREAT ON SRN FLANK OF COMPLEX THRU LATE NIGHT AND
MORNING HOURS.  COMPLEX WL FOLLOW LLJ AS IT VEERS/WKNS THRU EARLY
AFTN...SLIDING ALG EDGE OF STRONG MID LVL CAP. WITH AIRMASS
CONTINUING QUITE A MID LVL LAPSE RATE AND CONTINUED WAA ZONE...
MAY SEE ACC PERSIST BEHIND COMPLEX THRU THE AFTN...WITH COVERAGE
GRADUALLY DROPPING WITH LOSS OF UPR SUPPORT.

SOME VERY DRY LOW LVL AIR HAS BEEN PUSHING SWRD INTO CWA WITH DPTS
DROPPING INTO THE MID 50S THRU THE NRN TIER.  LOWERED LOWS SOMEWHAT
IN RESPONSE TO THIS WITH THE DRY AIR AND LKLY MO CLEAR TO PC SKIES
FOR MUCH OF THE NIGHT.  TEMPS ON THURSDAY TRICKY AS ANY LOWER RAIN
POTENTIAL COULD ALLOW FOR QUITE A BIT MORE WARMING THAN EXPECTED
WITH THE RAIN AROUND. WITH EXPECTED SCENARIO OF MCS AND POTENTIAL
FOR COOL EASTERLY OUTFLOW ON THE BACK SIDE OF DEPARTING SYSTEM
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON...HAVE HEDGED TOWARD COOLER MET GUIDANCE
VALUES FOR HIGHS.

COULD BE RELATIVELY QUIET AGAIN FOR THE EVENING HOURS THURSDAY...
WITH DAYTIME SYSTEM EXITING IN THE LATE AFTERNOON...AND NEXT WAVE
INTIALLY GENERATING NEXT ROUND OF RAIN IN THE WESTERN PLAINS. MODELS
ALL SHOWING ANOTHER POTENTIAL MCS MOVING EAST ACROSS THE PLAINS
LATER THURSDAY NIGHT...THOUGH NOT ALL AGREEING ON LOCATION. GREATER
CONSENSUS AMONG THE GFS/UKMET/ECMWF WITH TRACKING THE MCS ACROSS
NORTHERN PART OF THE FA...WHICH ALSO HAS BETTER CONTINUITY WITH OUR
GOING FORECAST. SO HAVE STUCK WITH HIGHEST POPS NEAR/NORTH OF I-90
FOR LATE THURSDAY NIGHT. LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN AND SEVERE WEATHER
POSSIBLE WITH THIS AS IT MOVES ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH EARLY FRIDAY.

THIS SYSTEM SHOULD EXIT BY MID-LATE MORNING FRIDAY...WITH DECENT
COLD FRONT PUSHING EAST THROUGH MUCH...IF NOT ALL OF THE CWA FRIDAY
AFTERNOON. DEPENDING ON SPEED OF THE FRONT...COULD SEE REDEVELOPMENT
ALONG THE FRONT IN NORTHWEST IOWA LATE IN THE AFTERNOON. IF WE DO
GET REDEVELOPMENT...ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS ARE POSSIBLE...THOUGH
THREAT SHOULD MOVE EAST OF OUR AREA PRETTY EARLY IN THE EVENING.

REMAINDER OF FRIDAY NIGHT INTO THE WEEKEND LOOKS QUIET AND ON THE
COOL SIDE OF NORMAL AS COOL UPPER LOW PUSHES INTO NRN MINNESOTA.
WITH COOL AIR ALOFT AND A WEAK WAVE DROPPING SOUTH ON THE BACK SIDE
OF THE UPPER LOW SATURDAY AFTERNOON...HAVE ADDED A SLIGHT CHANCE POP
TO THE NORTHEAST CWA FOR POSSIBLE INSTABILITY SHRA/TSRA LATE IN THE
AFTERNOON SATURDAY.

HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES OVER THE REGION FOR THE LATTER HALF OF THE
WEEKEND INTO MONDAY NEXT WEEK...WITH DRY CONDITIONS AND SEASONABLE
TEMPS EXPECTED. SUNDAY COULD STILL BE A FEW DEGREES BELOW LATE JUNE
NORMALS...ESPECIALLY IN EASTERN AREAS WITH COOLER AIR STILL DRAINING
INTO MINNESOTA IN DEEP NORTHERLY FLOW BEHIND COOL UPPER LOW OVER THE
GREAT LAKES...BUT MONDAY SHOULD BE BACK INTO THE 80S MOST AREAS.
HIGH PRESSURE SHIFTS EAST MONDAY NIGHT...WITH RETURN SOUTHERLY FLOW
BRINGING WARMER TEMPS...HIGHER MOISTURE LEVELS... AND INCREASING
PRECIP CHANCES BACK INTO THE AREA AHEAD OF APPROACHING WAVE FOR
TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.
