River Flood Warning 95, NWS Sioux Falls, SD

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION FOR SOUTHEAST SD/SOUTHWEST MN/NORTHWEST IA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SIOUX FALLS SD
435 PM CDT WED JUL 21 2010

.DISCUSSION...
FIRST BANDS OF SHOWERS AND TSTMS CONTINUE TO PROGRESS NORTHEAST OVER
THE FORECAST AREA. EXPECT THEY WILL CONTINUE TO WEAKEN AS THEY
OUTRUN THERMAL SUPPORT...MOISTURE...AND INSTABILITY. NEXT MAIN BATCH
SHOULD DEVELOP BY THE END OF THE AFTERNOON AND STORMS WILL HAVE MUCH
MORE GOING FOR THEM AS THEY MOVE NORTHEAST INTO THE AREA EARLY THIS
EVENING. STORMS LIKELY TO STEADILY BECOME MORE CONCENTRATED...THAT
IS INCREASE IN AREAL COVERAGE THROUGH THE EVENING. HEAVY RAIN
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP IN SOME OF THE STORMS AND THIS TOO SHOULD BECOME
MORE CONCENTRATED WITH TIME...WITH THE GREATEST THREAT OF HEAVY RAIN
OVER THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF THE AREA IN NORTHWEST IOWA. WILL EXTEND
MENTION OF HEAVY RAIN IN FORECAST TO THE NORTH AND WEST OF THIS
PRIME AREA...BUT NORTHWEST IOWA IS WHERE THE GREATEST GENERAL
RAINFALL SHOULD FALL...AS WELL AS WHERE THE GREATEST POTENTIAL FOR
EXCESSIVE RAINFALL IS. A FLASH FLOOD WATCH IS A BORDERLINE CALL FOR
NORTHWEST IOWA. FOR NOW IT APPEARS THAT THE POTENTIAL DOES NOT QUITE
MATCH UP TO THE FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE AND WILL HOLD OFF. ON RAINFALL
AMOUNTS...A CONSENSUS OF VARIOUS MODEL SOLUTIONS...LEAVING OUT THE
GFS...SEEMS THE WAY TO GO. WILL PROBABLY GO CLOSE TO GUIDANCE GRIDS
ON QPF. MEANWHILE...STORMS WILL CONTINUE TO SPREAD OVER ALL OF THE
FORECAST AREA...BEING MOST CONCENTRATED IN THE SOUTHEAST FOR THE
SAME REASON THE GREATEST HEAVY RAIN THREAT IS THERE...MOISTURE AND
PROXIMITY TO THE RIPER BOUNDARY TO THE SOUTH. WILL PEAK ACTIVITY
AROUND AND JUST AFTER MIDNIGHT AND ALLOW FOR SOME TAILING OFF FROM
THE WEST VERY LATE TONIGHT. LOW TEMPERATURES NOT A BIG PROBLEM IN
THIS HUMID ENVIRONMENT AND GUIDANCE SEEMS OK. OF COURSE THE HOURLY
COOLING WILL VARY WITH THE STORMS. / WILLIAMS

VERY ACTIVE AND WET PATTERN CONTINUES...AT LEAST THRU FRI NIGHT...
THEN A NICE BREAK THIS WEEKEND...BEFORE RIDGE RIDER TSTMS RETURN
NEXT WEEK. AFTER MCS MOVES OFF THRU ERN CWA EARLY THU...SSWLY FLOW
BRINGS IN WARM AND HUMID AIR FOR THE DAY AND CAPPING AND LACK OF
CONVERGENCE WILL BRING A DRY PERIOD THRU MIDDAY. NAM APPEARS TO BE
TOO FAR SOUTH WITH BOUNDARY...AND OTHER MODELS FURTHER NORTH AND
BETTER. EXPECT CHCS OF TSTMS TO DVLP AGAIN BY LATE AFTN WRN TO NRN
CWA ON EDGE OF CAP AND DVLP SEWD THRU CWA THU EVE ALG CDFNT. LAPSE
RATES PRETTY DECENT...BUT CONVERGENCE AND DYNAMICS DO NOT LOOK THAT
GREAT FOR A WIDESPREAD SVR EVENT. FNTL BOUNDARY SAGS SOUTH THRU AREA
THU NGT SETTING UP A POTENTIALLY MUCH MORE WDSPRD HEAVY/SVR EVENT
FRI AFTN AND EVE. MAJOR SHORT WAVE WILL INDUCE GOOD LWR LVL
CONVERGENCE ALONG AND NORTH OF BOUNDARY TO LIKELY PRODUCE TSTMS
DVLPG NWRN CWA FRI AFTN MOVG SEWD THRU ESP ERN HLF CWA FRI NIGHT.
HIT THE POPS AND QPF PRETTY GOOD WITH THIS SYSTEM. THIS WAVE WILL
BE FLWD BY NICE INTRUSION OF SOMEWHAT COOLER AND DRIER AIR FOR THE
WEEKEND...WITH MODERATION STARTING MON WITH BLDG UPR RIDGE. THIS
WILL BRING BACK THE TROPICAL AIR FROM THE SOUTH. RIDGE RIDERS
GRADUALLY BRING INCRG CHCS OF TSTMS SWD INTO THE AREA THRU TUES
NIGHT AND WED...AND THE STORMY WX PATTERN SHOULD RETURN UFN./ RSR

&&

.AVIATION...
GENERALLY VFR CONDITIONS LATE THIS AFTERNOON WILL LOWER LOCALLY BUT
WITH INCREASING FREQUENCY AFT 00Z AS STORMS BECOME MORE NUMEROUS
OVER AREA. LOCAL CIGS 1-3K FT AND VSBYS 3-5SM CAN BE EXPECTED IN
STORMS WITH VERY LOCAL AND BRIEF VSBYS BLO 3SM. AFTER ABOUT
06Z...THE WIDESPREAD NATURE OF THE RAINFALL MAY DEVELOP SOME GENERAL
CIGS 2-3K FEET EASTERN PART OF FORECAST AREA WHILE MORE SPOTTY LOWER
CIGS AND VSBYS CONTINUE TO THE WEST. THIS THREAT OF MVFR CIGS WILL
CONTINUE AFTER 12Z EVEN AS PRECIP TAILS OFF...THEN AFTER 15Z-16Z
GENERAL VFR CONDS SHOULD RETURN. / WILLIAMS
