The local office's own words before this high wind warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Aberdeen, SD wrote its last area forecast discussion before this high wind warning went out at Dec 30, 11:39 AM CST, 2 hours 30 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Dec 30, 11:39 AM CST, 2 hours 30 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ABERDEEN SD
1139 AM CST FRI DEC 30 2011
.UPDATE...
MINOR ADJUSTMENT TO FORECAST MAX TEMPERATURE IN THE FAR EAST WHERE
STRATUS LAYER IS THICKEST WITH BEST FETCH FROM THE NORTHWEST.
POINTS EAST OF THE JAMES RIVER SEEING GAPS AND WILL ALSO HAVE WARM
ADVECTION DEVELOPING THIS AFTERNOON...SO NO CHANGES IN HIGHS
THERE. ADDED MENTION OF FOG FOR MINNESOTA AND FAR EASTERN SOUTH
DAKOTA COUNTIES WHERE INVERTED TROF RESULTING IN UPSLOPE FLOW
ALONG THE EASTERN SIDE OF THE SISSETON HILLS. THIS FEATURE RAPIDLY
WEAKENS THIS AFTERNOON...SO FOG SHOULD NOT PERSIST VERY LONG. AT
THIS POINT...WILL LEAVE CURRENT HEADLINES INTACT.
SEE UPDATED AVIATION DISCUSSION BELOW.
&&
.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY
A RATHER CHALLENGING FORECAST IS IN STORE THROUGH THE SHORT TERM.
AS OF 8Z...AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE IS SITUATED OVER CENTRAL ND.
THIS LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE TO SLIDE SOUTHEASTWARD
THROUGH THE REST OF TODAY. GUSTY NORTHWESTERLY BEHIND THIS SYSTEM
WILL USHER IN WARMER TEMPERATURES WITH HIGHS IN THE 30S AND 40S
EXPECTED TODAY.
TONIGHT WILL FEATURE A PERIOD OF CLEAR SKIES AND LIGHT WINDS WHICH
WILL ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO FALL SOME. WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO TURN
SOUTHERLY BY 6Z WHICH WILL ALLOW FOR TEMPERATURES TO BECOME STEADY
OR TO SLOWLY RISE. THIS SOUTHERLY SHIFT IN THE WINDS...ALONG WITH
H925 TEMPS IN THE SINGLE DIGITS ABOVE ZERO SHOULD MAKE FOR A
FAIRLY WARM SATURDAY MORNING. A COLD FRONT WILL BEGIN TO SLIDE
ACROSS THE REGION BETWEEN 12 AND 15Z...WITH PCPN POSSIBLY STARTING
OFF AS A RAIN/SNOW MIX. HOWEVER DECENT MIXING WINDS SHOULD CHANGE
THE PCPN OVER TO ALL RAIN BY MID MORNING.
WHILE CAA LAGS BEHIND THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY BY SEVERAL HOURS...A
TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT DEVELOPS ACROSS THE WESTERN DAKOTAS BY MID
AFTERNOON ON SATURDAY. NAM BUFFER SOUNDING IN KMBG IS SHOWING 10M
WINDS AROUND 25 KNOT WITH A PEAK GUST AROUND 50 KNOTS BY 21Z
SATURDAY. THESE WIND SPEEDS DO WEAKEN SOME DURING THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS...ONLY TO INCREASE ONCE AGAIN BY SUNRISE ON SUNDAY. BASED
THESE WINDS...AND WITH ALL MODELS SHOWING 45 KNOT WINDS AT
H925...WILL ISSUE A HIGH WIND WATCH FOR 18Z SATURDAY THROUGH 18Z
SUNDAY FOR MOST LOCATIONS WEST OF THE JAMES RIVER. BELIEVE A HIGH
WIND WATCH MAYBE NEED IN THE EASTERN CWA AT SOME POINT.
.LONG TERM...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY
MILD AND MOSTLY DRY PATTERN LOOKS TO CONTINUE FOR QUITE SOME TIME
TO COME. THE MID LEVEL FLOW PATTERN STILL FAVORS PROGRESSION...BUT
IS STARTING TO TREND TOWARD MORE AMPLIFICATION. THE PERIOD STARTS
OFF A BIT CHILLY WITH COLD AIR DEPARTING TO THE EAST. BUT BY MID
WEEK WE SHOULD DEFINITELY BE FLIRTING AGAIN WITH RECORD HIGHS.
BOTH THE DETERMINISTIC ECMWF/GFS SUGGEST SOME H85 TEMPS IN EXCESS
OF +10C. AND WITH LITTLE OR NO SNOWPACK EXPECTED...RECORDS COULD
AGAIN BE IN JEOPARDY. HIGHS NEAR 50 SEEM QUITE DOABLE FOR THURSDAY
DESPITE COOLER MEAN H85 TEMPS OFF GEFS ENSEMBLES. GEFS TENDS TO BE
TOO COLD ANYWAY. THEN WE COOL DOWN A BIT TOWARD THE END OF THE
LONG TERM...BUT STILL WELL ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS ARE ANTICIPATED.
&&
.AVIATION...
18Z TAFS FOR THE KABR...KATY...KPIR AND KMBG TERMINALS
WIDESPREAD IFR/MVFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH THE DAY. THERE IS
A LARGE STRATUS FIELD STRETCHING FROM THE MISSOURI RIVER VALLEY
EAST INTO WESTERN MN AND FAR NORTH INTO NORTH DAKOTA. WITH SUCH A
LARGE FETCH...BELIEVE MODELS ARE BEING TOO OPTIMISTIC BY SCOURING
OUT THE CLOUDS LATER TODAY. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF KPIR WHICH MAY
SEE SOME VFR CONDITIONS LATER SINCE IT IS ON THE EDGE OF THE FIELD
RIGHT NOW...TAF SITES SHOULD REMAIN UNDER THE STRATUS UNTIL WINDS
AND COLD AIR ADVECTION START TO REALLY KICK IN ON SATURDAY. WINDS
WILL INCREASE OUT OF THE NORTHWEST FROM WEST TO EAST
TOMORROW...INCREASING TO 20 TO 35 KTS. SOME AREAS OF FOG ARE ALSO
REDUCING VSBY TO IFR THIS MORNING. WHILE THIS SHOULD IMPROVE
THROUGH THE DAY...SATURDAY MORNING SHOULD ALSO SEE SOME MVFR VSBY
WITH RAIN OR RAIN/SNOW MOVING IN.
