AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION FOR SOUTHEAST SD/SOUTHWEST MN/NORTHWEST IA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SIOUX FALLS SD
305 PM CDT MON MAY 19 2008

.DISCUSSION...
WIND ADVISORY IN PLACE UNTIL EARLY THIS EVENING. AS OF 200 PM
CDT...STRONGER WINDS BEGINNING TO MIX TO THE SFC WITH GUST HITTING
35 MPH IN THE WRN CWA. WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE THIS
AFTERNOON AS SW DROPS SOUTH AND COOLER AIR ADVECT INTO THE TOP OF
BNDRY LAYER. SHOULD PUSH WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA OVER MOST OF SE
SOUTH DAKOTA FOR AT LEAST A FEW HOURS LATE THIS AFTERNOON. ON THE
LEADING EDGE OF THE S/WV...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BROKEN OUT
ACROSS NE SD. SCATTERED CONVECTION WILL PROPAGATE SE THIS AFTERNOON
INTO SW MN AND NW IA AS THE S/WV MOVES THROUGH THE AREA. THE CHANCES
FOR THUNDERSTORMS WILL QUICKLY SUBSIDE THIS EVENING...WITH THE LOST
OF HEATING AND SUBSIDENCE BEHIND THE WAVE. RELATIVE LACK OF
MOISTURE... SHOULD KEEP UPDRAFT STRENGTH ON THE LOW SIDE...LIMITING
THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM THREAT. DO EXPECT SMALL PEA SIZE HAIL WITH
STRONGER CONVECTIVE CELLS...ESPECIALLY WITH LOWER FREEZING LEVELS.
CAN NOT RULE HAIL INTO THE DIME SIZE RANGE...BUT THE CHANCES ARE ON
THE LOW SIDE. STRONGER CELLS COULD PRODUCE A QUICK QUARTER OF INCH
OF RAIN...BUT ON AN AERIAL AVERAGE LEST THAN A TENTH.

BY TUESDAY...THE WAVE THAT BROUGHT SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS TO THE AREA TODAY WILL BE SOUTH OF THE AREA WITH JUST
A LITTLE RESIDUAL SHEARED ENERGY BUT NOT ENOUGH TO PRODUCE ANY
SHOWERS. WILL CONTINUE THE TREND OF A LITTLE WARMER THAN GUIDANCE
FOR HIGHS AND LOWER THAN GUIDANCE ON DEW POINTS AS THIS HAS BEEN THE
TREND DURING THE PAST FEW DAYS WITH WEST TO NORTHWEST OR NORTH
WINDS.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT LOOKS LIKE THE NEXT POTENTIAL FOR RAIN AND A FEW
THUNDERSTORMS AS MOISTURE RETURNS ALOFT...ESPECIALLY ABOVE 800MB.
THE PROBLEM WILL BE ALL OF THE DRY AIR BELOW THIS AND THE FACT THAT
THE MOIST AIR ABOVE IS NOT EXACTLY UNSTABLE. SO...WILL KEEP POPS
CONFINED TO THE FAR SOUTH ON WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY AS MODELS
CONTINUE TO TREND IN THE STRONGER AND DRIER HIGH PRESSURE INVADING
THE REGION FOR MID WEEK. ONE BENEFIT OF THIS WILL BE A LESS WINDY
DAY ON WEDNESDAY WITH SIMILAR TEMPERATURES AS EXPECTED BEFORE. HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN WEDNESDAY MORNING...THEN BE VERY SLOW TO LIFT
EAST AS A STRONG RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE DEVELOPS ALOFT. PROBABLY A
LITTLE WARMER ON THURSDAY...MOST LOCATION IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER
70S...BUT WITH A MUCH STRONGER EAST TO SOUTHEAST WIND. SO...ANY
WARMING WILL BE OFFSET BY CLOUDS AND WIND.

IN THE LATTER PERIODS(FRI-MON)...MODELS EVEN STRONGER WITH UPPER
LEVEL RIDGING IN OMEGA BLOCKING PATTERN AND HAVE BACKED THE POSITION
OF THE RIDGE ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY INTO EASTERN SD AND WESTERN MN.
THIS LIKELY MEANS LITTLE OR NO PRECIP CHANCES FOR ALL BUT THE FAR
WESTERN CWA DURING THIS TIME. BY THE WEEKEND INTO MONDAY...THE
NORTHERN PORTION OF THE WESTERN TROF WORKS EAST AND AIDS IN BREAKING
DOWN STRONG RIDGE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE COUNTRY AND COULD POTENTIALLY
HELP SET UP AN EAST/WEST LOW LEVEL FRONT WHICH WOULD AID IN BRINGING
BETTER CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS. WILL NOT GO TOO HOG WILD AS YET
THOUGH AS ECMWF NOT AS AGGRESSIVE AT BREAKING DOWN THIS RIDGE BUT
THE GFS DOES HAVE SOME SUPPORT FROM THE CANADIAN.

&&

.AVIATION...
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE ACROSS PORTIONS OF ERN
SD...SW MN...AND NW IA THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY THIS EVENING. THE
BEST CHANCE WILL BE EAST OF A LINE FROM BROOKINGS SD...TO STORM LAKE
IOWA. STRONG NW WINDS THIS AFTERNOON WILL RAPIDLY DECREASE TO 5 TO
15 MPH THIS EVENING. OTHER THAN THE POTENTIAL THUNDERSTORMS THIS
AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING...VFR THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD.

&&

.FSD WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

SD...NONE.
MN...NONE.
IA...NONE.
NE...NONE.
