AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION FOR SOUTHEAST SD/SOUTHWEST MN/NORTHWEST IA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SIOUX FALLS SD
309 PM CDT WED SEP 15 2010

.DISCUSSION...
COMPACT UPR CIRCULATION MOVING OUT OF CNTRL SD THIS AFTN...WITH ZONE
OF INTENSE LIFT ON NOSE OF STRONG PV ADVECTION. CONVECTION DEVELOPING
RAPIDLY EARLY AFTN JUST BEHIND INITIAL PREFRONTAL WIND SHIFT AND
ALONG MAIN WIND SHIFT. ENVIRONMENTAL PARAMETERS SUGGEST SVR THREAT
VALIDATED...WITH 0-6KM DEEP SHEAR OF 40-45 KTS...WITH STRONGEST
0-1KM SHEAR POSITIONED NEAR WARM FRONTAL BNDRY FROM WK SFC LOW ARND
KHON...THROUGH AREAS BETWEEN KMWM AND KMJQ. THIS WOULD BE THE
PRIMARY TORNADIC THREAT AREA THROUGH THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS...BUT
THE CAPE AND SHEAR ENOUGH TO EXPECT ORGANIZED STORMS FARTHER SWRD TO
PRODUCE HAIL AND WINDS AS WELL AS THOSE TO THE NORTH. CONVECTION SHUD
BE TIED TO UPR CIRC CORE AND SLINGSHOTTING BNDRY INTO THE EVENING
HOURS...THEN REST OF NIGHT DEALS WITH WINDS AND CLOUDS...WHICH LOOK
TO BE FAIRLY PERSISTENT. WINDS SHUD DIMINISH LAST PART OF
NIGHT...AND MAY BECOME LIGHT IN JAMES VALLEY WHERE CORE OF SFC RIDGE
BUILDS IN LATE. TOWARD THE E...CONTINUED OFF SFC CAA WL KEEP NLY
WINDS UP AND ALSO HELP KEEP TMPS UNDER CLDS FROM BOTTOMING OUT.

THURSDAY LOOKS LIKE A PLEASANT DAY AS A WEAK RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE
MOVES THROUGH THE CWA. THIS WILL BRING LIGHT WINDS TO THE EAST HALF
OF THE CWA MOST OF THE DAY...WHILE AREAS IN THE WEST WILL SEE A
SOUTHERLY WIND INCREASE TO ABOUT 10 TO 15 MPH IN THE AFTERNOON. MAY
SEE SOME STRATUS AS WELL IN THE EAST...BUT CONFIDENCE NOT REAL
HIGH...SO JUST GOING MOSTLY CLOUDY IN THE MORNING...THEN BECOMING
MOSTLY SUNNY REMAINDER OF THE DAY. WILL KEEP THE HIGHS ABOUT THE
SAME RANGING FROM THE MID 60S IN SW MN TO THE MID 70S IN CENTRAL SD.

A WEAK WAVE WILL SCRAPE THE NORTHERN CWA LATE THURSDAY INTO THURSDAY
NIGHT...BUT MOISTURE IS NOT TOO IMPRESSIVE...SO WILL ONLY CARRY A
SMALL POP FOR THIS THURSDAY NIGHT. WITH THE INCOMING COOL FRONT WILL
KEEP LOWS RELATIVELY MILD...AND IN THE LOWER TO MID 50S.

FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY LOOKS FAIRLY QUIET WITH AN OUTSIDE CHANCE FOR A
FEW SHOWERS IN THE FAR SOUTH ON SATURDAY. OTHERWISE...COOLER AIR
WILL SLOWLY FILTER IN WITH HIGHS IN THE 60S BOTH DAYS...A FEW 70S
FAR SOUTH ON FRIDAY.

IN THE LATTER PERIODS(SUN/WED)...MODELS ARE IN GENERAL AGREEMENT IN
SUGGESTING A DECENT SYSTEM EARLY IN THE PERIOD BUT TIMING OF THIS
WAVE/FRONT NOT QUITE AS AGREEABLE. WITH THE MODELS TRENDING A LITTLE
SLOWER WILL TAKE OUT POPS FOR MOST OF SUNDAY AND ADD SOME POPS IN
FOR TUESDAY. WILL HAVE TO WATCH THIS PERIOD AS A LITTLE SEVERE
WEATHER AND ESPECIALLY HEAVY RAIN WILL BE A THREAT. COOLER AND DRIER
AIR WILL WORK IN BEHIND THIS SYSTEM LATE TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY SO
GOING A LITTLE COOLER ON WEDNESDAY. KEPT TEMPERATURES RELATIVELY
COOL ON SUNDAY WITH HIGHS MAINLY IN THE 60S. COOL HIGH PRESSURE WILL
BE WORKING SLOWLY EAST AND WILL NEED TO WATCH A FEW
AREAS...ESPECIALLY SW MN...FOR SOME FROST POTENTIAL. BY MONDAY THE
WAVE WILL BE MOVING INTO THE ROCKIES AND SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL DEVELOP
AHEAD...LIFTING MORE MOIST AIR NORTHWARD. AT THIS TIME MONDAY
AFTERNOON INTO TUESDAY MORNING LOOKS LIKE THE BEST CHANCE FOR RAIN
AND THUNDERSTORMS. /08

&&

.AVIATION...
CONVECTION IN THE SHORT RANGE THE LARGEST THREAT. SHUD BE NARROW
WINDOW FOR CONVECTION AT ALL TAF SITES...ONE TO TWO HOURS...TIED TO
FROPA FOR KFSD AND KSUX...WHILE FOR KHON...THE THUNDER THREAT SHUD
END BY 21Z FOR THE MOST PART. CIGS/VSBYS LKLY BRIEFLY IN THE IFR
RANGE WITH STRONGEST CORES TO STORMS. REFER TO TOR WATCH FOR SVR
THREAT WITH HAIL/WINDS. REMAINDER OF AVIATION CONCERN FOR THE NIGHT
WL BE DEALIG WITH LOWER CIGS. LOCAL STUDY ON MOISTURE AND INVERSION
STRENGTH CASTS A BIT OF DOUBT ON PERSISTENCE OR EVEN EXISTANCE OF
LOW CIGS PAST THE INITIAL POST PRECIP PUSH THIS EVENING. IF CLOUDS
DO HAPPEN TO BREAK...WHICH IS A STRONGER THREAT FOR KHON UNDER LOW
LVL RIDGE LATE...WL BE VERY OPEN TO FOG DEVELOPING AND EVEN LOWER
CIGS. /CHAPMAN
