AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION FOR SOUTHEAST SD/SOUTHWEST MN/NORTHWEST IA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SIOUX FALLS SD
938 PM CDT THU OCT 8 2009

.DISCUSSION...
FIRST OF THE VERY COLD NIGHTS TONIGHT...THIS ONE A BIT MORE TO THE
RADIATIVE SIDE OF THE EQUATION COMPARED TO THOSE NEXT SEVERAL.
TMPS ARE FALLING QUICKLY THIS EVENING AS NLY WNDS DIMINISH...AND
WITH DWPTS IN THE 20S...EXPECT THAT 20S WL BE A COMMON ENDING POINT
FOR TMPS TONIGHT. SKYCOVER IS ALSO NOT EXPECTED TO BECOME A
SIGIFICANT FACTOR...WITH EXCEPTION OF MID CLDS BRUSHING THRU SERN
CWA WHICH WL ALSO BE WHERE NLY WINDS HOLD ON LONGER. WITH TMPS
FALLING OFF FASTER THAN ANY GUIDANCE...LKLY NEED TO SHAVE A COUPLE
DEGREES OR MORE OFF GOING LOWS IN CLEAR/LIGHT WIND AREAS...AND THIS
ALSO HAS NECESSITATED EXPANDING THE FREEZE WARNING DOWN A COUPLE
TIERS...INCLUDING THE IMMEDIATE SIOUX FALLS AREA.  WHILE THE HEART
OF THE CITY WL PROBABLY ESCAPE THE HARDEST FREEZE...MOST IF NOT ALL
AREAS WL SEE TMPS DOWN TO FREEZING...WITH EXCEPTION OF EXTREME SE.
BY SAT/SAT NIGHT...GROWING SEASON WL BE OVER FOR ALL AREAS. /CHAPMAN

&&

.AVIATION...
IT IS ANTICIPATED THAT CONDS WL BE VFR TONIGHT AND THRU 00Z
SATURDAY. HOWEVER FM 00Z TO 06Z SATURDAY...A STRONG CDFNT WL MOVE
ACROSS THE WRN HALF OF THE FSD FA...TO THE I 29 AREA. BEHIND IT WL
BE WINDY CONDITIONS FM THE NW AND AREAS OF MVFR CONDS.  /MJF

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...
FREEZE WARNING IN PLACE OVER NORTHERN COUNTIES AND WITH THE DRY AIR
FILTERING IN. SEE NO REASON TO CHANGE AS THIS STILL APPEARS TO BE
THE AREA WITH THE HIGHEST PROBABILITY OF DROPPING BELOW 28 DEGREES
FOR A FEW HOURS. CLOUD COVER WILL PLAY A ROLE AS LATEST MODELS HINT
THAT SHAKING OFF MID AND HIGH CLOUDS IN THE SOUTH WILL BE A CONCERN.
BUT AGAIN...FOR THOSE AREAS THAT DO NOT OFFICIALLY FREEZE
TONIGHT...IT WILL OCCUR ON EITHER SATURDAY MORNING OR SUNDAY MORNING
AS A SECONDARY COLDER COLD FRONT SWINGS SOUTH FRIDAY NIGHT. SO...BE
READY FOR THE FIRST FREEZE OF THE SEASON OVER THE NEXT 3 DAYS.
OTHERWISE...LOWS FROM THE MID 20S ALONG HIGHWAY 14 TO THE LOWER 30S
MOST OTHER LOCATIONS. WILL FORGO A FROST ADVISORY OVER THE REMAINDER
OF THE CWA AS A HARD FREEZE IS EXPECTED ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY
MORNINGS. SO...SOME PATCHY FROST POSSIBLE TONIGHT BUT CLOUDS MAY
HAMPER A WIDESPREAD FROST ANYWAY.  /08

OVERALL...FRIDAY NOT LOOKING LIKE THAT BAD OF A DAY WITH INCREASING
CLOUDS IN THE WEST OUT AHEAD OF THE NEXT COLD FRONT TO AFFECT OUR
AREA. WITH SKIES EXPECTED TO REMAIN AT MOST PARTLY CLOUDY IN OUR
EAST...LOOKING FOR HIGHS IN THE MID 50S IN OUR SOUTHEAST TO UPPER
40S IN OUR WEST WHERE CLOUDS WILL INCREASE FIRST. MODELS IN DECENT
AGREEMENT WITH REGARD TO TIMING OF FRONT...ALBEIT THE GFS JUST A TAD
SLOWER...BUT COULD SEE A FEW LIGHT SHOWERS SNEAK INTO OUR FAR WEST
BY LATE AFTERNOON WITH MID LEVEL WAA AND LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE OUT
AHEAD/ALONG THE FRONT. THINGS BEGIN TO GO DOWNHILL ON FRIDAY NIGHT
AS THE FRONT SWEEPS ACROSS THE CWA...WITH RAPIDLY FALLING
TEMPERATURES WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE SYSTEM. GOOD FORCING ALONG AND
BEHIND THE FEATURE WITH STRONG MID LEVEL FRONTOGENESIS AND ENOUGH
MOISTURE CONVERGENCE TO DROP A QUICK SHOT OF 1 TO 2 INCHES OF SNOW
ACROSS THE AREA. STAYED ON THE LOWER SIDE OF QPF WITH LITTLE
INSTABILITY ABOVE THE FRONT. PRECIPITATION MAY INITIALLY START AS A
BRIEF PERIOD OF RAIN BEFORE TEMPERATURES ALOFT BEHIND THE FRONT DROP
QUICKLY BELOW ZERO C. LOWS WILL DROP INTO THE MID 20S WEST TO NEAR
30 FAR SOUTHEAST.

SATURDAY IS LOOKING TO BE A RAW DAY WITH LIGHT SNOW ENDING IN OUR
SOUTHEAST IN THE MORNING. WILL BE A BREEZY DAY WITH GUSTY
NORTHWESTERLY WINDS AND TEMPERATURES REMAINING IN THE MID TO UPPER
30S WITH 850 MB TEMPS AROUND -8 TO -10 C. WIND CHILLS WILL BE IN THE
20S. WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE SYSTEM...CLOUDS WILL DECREASE FROM WEST
TO EAST IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING...AND MODELS HAVE COME IN MUCH
COOLER FOR SATURDAY NIGHT. WITH CLEARING SKIES AND DYING WINDS LOWS
WILL BOTTOM OUT IN THE UPPER TEENS TO LOWER 20S.

ONLY A BRIEF REPRIEVE FROM THE ACTIVE PATTERN HOWEVER...WITH MODELS
CONTINUING TO POINT TO ANOTHER SHORTWAVE AFFECTING THE AREA LATER ON
SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT...WITH RETURNING MIDLEVEL WAA AND MIDLEVEL
FRONTOGENESIS IN OUR SOUTH. GFS OFFERING THE NORTHERN MOST
SOLUTION...THOUGH WITH BETTER CONSISTENCY KEPT PRECIPITATION MAINLY
IN OUR SOUTHERN AREAS PER THE ECMWF. AMASS STILL LOOKS COLD ENOUGH
ALOFT FOR SNOW...THOUGH COULD SEE A BRIEF RAIN/SNOW MIX ON SUNDAY
AFTERNOON AT THE ONSET OF PRECIPITATION WITH SURFACE TEMPS ABOVE
FREEZING...THOUGH WOULD QUICKLY BECOME ALL SNOW. QPF LOOKS PRETTY
LIGHT AT THIS POINT...WITH GENERALLY LESS THAN HALF AN INCH OF SNOW
IN OUR SOUTH ON SUNDAY NIGHT.

LOOKS LIKE A SLOW MODERATION IN TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF
NEXT WEEK AS UPPER LEVEL RIDGING TRIES TO BUILD INTO THE
REGION...THOUGH SOME MODEL DIFFERENCES WITH REGARD TO THE UPPER
LEVEL PATTERN FOR NEXT WEEK. MAY SEE HIGHS GET BACK INTO THE 50S BY
WEDNESDAY...WITH SOME POSSIBLE SHOWERS FOR MIDWEEK.  /JM
