AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION FOR SOUTHEAST SD/SOUTHWEST MN/NORTHWEST IA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SIOUX FALLS SD
915 PM CDT WED SEP 22 2010
.DISCUSSION...
ELEVATED THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BEEN PERSISTING FROM EAST CENTRAL SOUTH
DAKOTA INTO SOUTHWEST MINNESOTA THIS EVENING...WITH ADDITIONAL
DEVELOPMENT NOW BEING SEEN SOUTHWESTWARD...JUST ON THE COOL SIDE OF
THE SURFACE BOUNDARY WHICH WAS LOCATED FROM NEAR KONL INTO OUR
NORTHERN TIER OF COUNTIES IN IOWA. HAVE ADJUSTED POPS THROUGH THE
NIGHT TO PUSH POPS INTO CATEGORICAL RANGE ALONG THIS SOUTHWEST TO
NORTHWEST STRETCH...WITH PARTS OF THIS AREA UNLIKELY TO SEE MUCH OF
A BREAK AS WAS EARLIER EXPECTED. WITH THE HEAVY RAINFALL HAVING
ALREADY FALLEN IN THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH AREA...HAVE ALSO PULLED BACK
THE START TIME OF THE WATCH TO CURRENT TIME...THOUGH MUCH OF THE
WATCH AREA ALREADY IN FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS FOR THE FIRST HALF OF THE
NIGHT. SEVERE THREAT SEEMS TO BE WINDING DOWN...THOUGH ISOLATED
SEVERE HAIL STILL POSSIBLE IN STORMS CLOSE TO THE SURFACE BOUNDARY
AND WILL HOLD ON TO TORNADO WATCH FROM HUTCHINSON AND BON HOMME
COUNTIES EASTWARD TO THE EASTERN SD/NE STATE LINES. UPDATED
GRIDS/PFM/ZFP HAVE BEEN SENT. /JH
&&
.AVIATION...
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE A COMMON THEME FOR MUCH OF THE AREA THROUGH
MIDDAY THURSDAY. ACTIVITY WILL BE GENERALLY NEAR AND NORTH OF A
FRONTAL BOUNDARY WHICH IS EXPECTED TO STALL FROM SWRN MN TO EXTREME
SERN SD BY EARLY THURSDAY. AREAS SOUTH OF THIS BNDRY WL BE MAINLY
VFR...WITH SOME MVFR CIGS/VSBYS IN TS. THE MORE WIDESPREAD MVFR CIGS
WILL BE FOUND NORTH OF THE BOUNDARY...AND WL ALSO FEATURE PERIODS OF
IFR CIGS/VSBYS IN STRONGER STORMS. PRECIPITATION SHOULD MAXIMIZE
LATE TONIGHT AND THROUGH THE MORNING THURSDAY. /CHAPMAN
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION...
MCS WITH OCCASIONAL HAILERS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE INTO THE EARLY
EVENING AS THE TAIL END OF A VERY STRONG MID LEVEL WAVE SLOWLY
EXITS. STRONG MOISTURE CONVERGENCE SPREADS INTO THE EASTERN CWA BY
EARLY EVENING. PLENTY OF INSTABILITY AND ELEVATED SHEAR SHOULD
PROVIDE ADDITIONAL CHANCES FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS INTO THE
EVENING. A BRIEF LULL IN ACTIVITY EXPECTED FROM ABOUT 2Z THROUGH 8Z
OR SO...THEN A POTENT UPPER LEVEL WAVE...WHICH WAS SPAWNING
CONVECTION ACROSS UTAH AT 19Z...WILL SPREAD WHAT SHOULD BE A LARGE
ORGANIZED AREA OF RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS INTO THE WESTERN CWA. AT
THIS TIME THE SEVERE THREAT WITH THIS LOOKS MINIMAL...HOWEVER HEAVY
RAINFALL IS LIKELY WITH STRONG MOISTURE ADVECTION CONTINUES THROUGH
THE DAY AND PWATS AVERAGE ABOUT 1.90 INCHES. TEMPERATURES A LITTLE
TRICKY AS SOME WARMING THIS EVENING POSSIBLE AS RAIN/THUNDERSTORMS
MOVE EAST. HAVE TEMPERATURES STEADY TO RISING IN THE NORTHERN TWO
THIRDS OF THE CWA THROUGH ABOUT 8Z...THEN BOTTOMING OUT AS
PRECIPITATION MOVES IN. /08
A MISERABLE DAY IN STORE ON THURSDAY AS THE MAIN WAVE TRACKS ACROSS
THE CWA WITH STRONG MOISTURE TRANSPORT INTO THE REGION. PRECIPITABLE
WATER AMOUNTS ARE PROGGED TO BE IN EXCESS OF 2 INCHES...AND FLASH
FLOODING WILL BE A POSSIBILITY...THUS HAVE FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN
PLACE THROUGH 00Z IN THE EVENING OVER OUR NORTH CENTRAL AND
NORTHEASTERN COUNTIES WHERE VERY HEAVY RAIN IS MOST LIKELY TO HAVE
A BIGGER IMPACT. IN ADDITION...WITH A TIGHTENING SURFACE GRADIENT
ACROSS THE AREA...WILL SEE WINDS PICK UP...INITIALLY OUT OF THE
SOUTH AHEAD OF THE LOW...THEN FROM THE NORTHWEST AS THE LOW PUSHES
TO THE EAST. INSTABILITY IS GENERALLY PRETTY WEAK ON THURSDAY
AFTERNOON...BUT WITH STRONG SHEAR OVER OUR SOUTHEAST...IF ANY
DECENT UPDRAFTS DEVELOP ALONG THE SURFACE FRONT...CANNOT RULE OUT
AN ISOLATED SEVERE STORM. WILL HAVE A FAIRLY WIDE RANGE OF
TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE CWA...WITH HIGHS IN THE UPPER 50S
NORTHWEST...TO THE MID 70S SOUTHEAST...WITH READINGS FALLING IN
THE WEST DURING THE AFTERNOON. THE SYSTEM BEGINS TO PULL TO THE
EAST ON THURSDAY NIGHT...WITH POPS TAPERING OFF FROM THE WEST.
WITH STRONG NORTHWEST WINDS...LOWS WILL DROP DOWN INTO THE UPPER
40S TO LOWER 50S.
CLOUDS MAY BE SLOW TO CLEAR OUT ON FRIDAY...WITH MODELS SUGGESTING
LINGERING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND POSSIBLE STRATUS. TEMPERATURES WILL
BE DEPENDENT ON HOW QUICKLY CLOUDS DECREASE...BUT AT THIS POINT HAVE
HIGHS IN THE LOWER 60S EAST TO AROUND 70 SOUTHWEST.
MODELS COMING MORE IN AGREEMENT WITH A STRONG UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE
DROPPING INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS ON SATURDAY...THROUGH STILL SOME
DISCREPANCIES IN THE FINER DETAILS...BUT DID INCREASE POPS ACROSS
OUR CWA FOR LATE FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY. WITH AN EASTERLY LOW
LEVEL FLOW IN PLACE...HIGHS ON SATURDAY WILL AGAIN REMAIN IN THE MID
60S TO LOWER 70S.
WITH THE PASSAGE OF THIS SYSTEM...THE WEEKEND INTO THE START OF NEXT
WEEK LOOKS TO BE DRY WITH SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE DOMINATING IN A
NORTHWESTERLY UPPER LEVEL FLOW. WILL SEE A SLIGHT WARMING TREND WITH
HIGHS IN THE MID TO UPPER 70S BY MONDAY. LOWS LOOKING TO BE IN THE
UPPER 40S TO LOWER 50S THROUGH THE PERIOD. /JM
