AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION FOR SOUTHEAST SD/SOUTHWEST MN/NORTHWEST IA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SIOUX FALLS SD
325 PM CDT MON AUG 11 2008

.DISCUSSION...
IMMENSE UPR WAVE PUSHING OUT OF WY INTO WRN SD ATTM. STRONG LIFT
APPARENTLY NOW STARTING TO WORK OUT ACRS SFC BNDRY IN CNTRL SD WHERE
AIRMASS HAS DESTABILIZED TO A NEARLY UNCAPPED 1500 J/KG IN PARTIAL
CLEARING BEHIND ISENTROPIC TRANSPORT CLOUD DEBRIS/ELEVATED SHRA/TSRA
TO THE E. MUCH MORE STABLE AIRMASS TO THE E THRU THE JAMES
VALLEY...SO EXPECT SVR THREAT TO BE LIMITED TO THE WRN CWA WHERE
RECENT WATCH WAS ISSUED. SHEAR IS WEAK AT BEST...WITH EFFECTIVE
SHEAR OF 25 KTS LT AFTN AND PERHAPS REACHING 30 KTS AS UPR WAVE
APPROACHES. THIS FAVORS MORE MULTICELLULAR STRUCTURE. STRENGTH OF
FORCING AND APPARENT LACK OF STRONG CAPPING...SO EXPECT COVERAGE TO
RESPOND QUITE EFFECTIVELY TO LIFT FORCING...AND WL UP MOST AREA TO
LKLY TO CATEGORICAL PUSHING THRU ARND I90 OR NWRD.  WHILE SVR THREAT
WILL DWINDLE E...WL PUSH HEAVY RAIN MENTION ALONG WITH MAIN LINE OF
TSRA EWRD LTR AFTN/EVNG HOURS.

FNT WL HANG UP A BIT OVR FAR ERN CWA TUE MORNING AND THEN PUSH THRU
BY AFTN. STILL REMAINS UNSTABLE ACRS FAR ERN CWA TUES AFTN AND WITH
COLD AIR ALOFT AND SFC DPS NEAR 60...CUD SEE A FEW TRW POP UP FAR E
DURING THE AFTN. WL KEEP 20% FAR E INTO THE AFTN. REST OF CWA WL SEE
DRIER AIR MOVE IN AND PLENTY OF SUN BY MID MORN. HIGH TEMPS ON TUES
SHUD BE WARMER THAN TODAY DUE TO MORE SUN AND BETTER MIXING. WITH
DRY AIR IN PLACE TUES NIGHT SHUD SEE LOWS IN THE 50S FOR WED MORN
WITH CLR SKIES AND LGT WINDS.

WED WL BE A BETWEEN DAY AHEAD OF UPPER LOW THAT WL DIG SWD ACRS THE
PLAINS. SO DURING THE DAY WARM AND DRY WX IS EXPECTED WITH THE
PSBLTY OF A FEW TRW SPREADING INTO WRN CWA LATE WED NIGHT AS UPPER
LOW APPROACHES.

WL GET A LOT MORE ACTIVE THU INTO SAT AS UPPER LOW SLOWLY DROPS THRU
THE DAKOTAS INTO NEB. QUITE UNUSUAL FOR AUG TO HAVE SUCH A LARGE
UPPER LOW PLANT ITSELF OVR THE NRN PLAINS. MORE LIKE A SPRING STORM
THAN ANYTHING ELSE. SO SHUD EXPECT A DECENT CHC OF RW/TRW THU INTO
SAT AND POT FOR HEAVY RAINS. DOUBT MUCH SVR WX...AS SYS MORE LIKELY
TO PRODUCE WDPSRD RAINS. TEMPS WL ALSO BE QUITE COOL AND IF RAIN IS
WDSPRD DURING THE DAYTIME HOURS...WL BE HARD TO REACH 70 DEGREES AS
H85 TEMPS ONLY +10 TO +13. SO FOR THU THRU SAT WL KEEP TEMPS COOLER
WITH COOLEST TEMPS FRI AND SAT. SUN CUD ALSO BE WET IF UPPER LOW
DOESNT MOVE. FOR NOW WL LEAVE SUN DRY BUT THIS CUD CHANGE ESPEC ERN
CWA IF SYS DOESNT MOVE.

&&

.AVIATION...
REMNANT MVFR CIGS MAINLY THRU NW IA AND SW MN WL BE ON THE DECLINE
AS THE AFTN CONTINUES...WITH THE ONLY REAL THREAT TO OTHERWISE VFR
CONDITIONS BEING THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED TO ACCOMPANY A STRONG UPPER
LEVEL DISTURBANCE ACRS THE REGION.  MAINLY ELEVATED SHRA/TSRA WL
CONTINUE THRU THE JAMES VALLEY REGION MID AFTN...BUT AS THEY SHIFT
EWRD WL MOVE INTO A MORE STABLE AIRMASS AND TRANSITION TOWARD MID
LVL SHRA.  EXPECT MORE SFC BASED STORMS DEVELOPING IN CNTRL SD TO
PUSH EWRD AT 25 MPH AND WL BRING TEMPORARY MVFR/IFR VSBYS AND MVFR
CIGS.
