AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ABERDEEN SD
757 PM CDT MON MAY 9 2011

.UPDATE...
MADE A FEW ADJUSTMENTS TO THE FORECAST. AFTER LOOKING AT HOW
CAPPED THE KABR 00Z SOUNDING IS...DECIDED TO BRING DOWN POPS A
TOUCH IN THE NORTHEAST CWA. THERE IS STILL SOME CHANCE THAT THE WARM
FRONT OVER SOUTHERN SOUTH DAKOTA COULD SPARK ELEVATED THUNDER LATE
TONIGHT AS IT HEADS NORTH...BUT HAVE SOME DOUBTS ABOUT HOW MUCH
COVERAGE WE WILL GET FROM ANY STORMS THAT DO FORM. LENDING SOME
ADDITIONAL SUPPORT TO LOWERING POPS IN THE NORTHEAST CWA IS THAT
THE LAST SEVERAL RUNS OF THE HI RES CONVECTION ALLOWING HRRR MODEL
HAVE KEPT THE EAST DRY THROUGH THE NIGHT. TEMPERATURES LOOK FINE
WITH LITTLE CHANGE. UPDATES WILL BE ISSUED BEFORE 9PM CDT.

&&
.PREV DISCUSSION...
.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT
FORECAST CHALLENGES SURROUND COOLING TEMPERATURE TREND AFTER
TONIGHT...ALONG WITH CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL TONIGHT THROUGH EARLY
TUESDAY...AND THEN AGAIN WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

CURRENTLY...WATCHING THE ATMOSPHERE DESTABILIZE AGAIN THIS
AFTERNOON...IN PARTICULAR THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE CWA.
TEMPERATURES ARE WARMING THROUGH THE 60S AND 70S. FAR SOUTHERN
FORECAST ZONES WILL END UP IN THE LOW TO MID 80S AGAIN BY THE END
OF PEAK HEATING TODAY. SOUPY AIR ALSO BECOMING ESTABLISHED ACROSS
THE REGION WITH DEWPOINTS CLIMBING INTO THE UPPER 50S TO 60S.

TWO AREAS OF LOW PRESSURE WILL COME OUT OF THE LARGE WESTERN CONUS
LONGWAVE TROF. THE FIRST WILL WORK UP INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS AND
NORTHERN HIGH PLAINS STATES THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY. THE
SECOND LOW WILL MOVE UP INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS AND EVENTUALLY THE
GREAT LAKES REGION WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY.

ANYWAY...THIS FIRST LOW WILL DRAW A WARM FRONT NORTHWARD THROUGH
THE CWA OVERNIGHT. THERE COULD BE SOME STRONG TO SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING BY LATE THIS EVENING OVER AND/OR MOVING
UP INTO THIS CWA IN ASSOCIATION WITH THIS LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AND
ITS ASSOCIATED WARM FRONT. SUPERCELL CONVECTION POTENTIAL REALLY
INCREASES FROM 00Z ONWARD ALONG AND NORTH OF THE NORTHWARD SURGING
WARM FRONTAL BOUNDARY...WITH 0-6KM SHEAR INCREASING TO AS MUCH AS
50 TO 55 KNOTS. PLENTY OF UPPER DIVERGENCE...CAPE AND WAA/FORCING
TO BE HAD TONIGHT...ESPECIALLY ONCE INCREASING LARGE SCALE ASCENT
OVERTAKES THE CWA. PLENTIFUL TURNING OF THE WIND IN THE COLUMN
ALONG AND NORTH OF THE WARM FRONT WITH TORNADO-GENESIS PROGS OF
CAPE/SHEAR SHOWING UP RATHER NOTABLY IN THE 12Z MODEL OUTPUT. THE
SYNOPTIC-SCALE LIFT/FORCING OF THE LOW ITSELF SEEMS TO DRIVE
CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL ACROSS THE WESTERN ZONES TONIGHT...WHILE
LATER TONIGHT /AT OR AFTER 06Z/ THE EASTERN ZONES COULD BE FACING
STRONG TO SEVERE ELEVATED CONVECTION FIRING UP ON THE NOSE OF A
LOW LEVEL JET PROGGED TO WORK UP INTO EASTERN SOUTH DAKOTA. THE
PRIMARY FLIES IN THE OINTMENT PROHIBITING CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT
LATER THIS AFTERNOON INTO EARLY THIS EVENING ARE LACK OF ADEQUATE
LARGE SCALE ASCENT/FORCING /LOW PRESSURE STILL WELL OFF TO THE
SOUTH AND WEST/...AND A MID-LEVEL WARM LAYER. HOWEVER...THE WARM
LAYER SHOULD GRADUALLY BECOME LESS OF A PLAYER AS THE
EVENING/OVERNIGHT WEARS ON.

ONCE CONVECTION GETS NORTH AND EAST OF THIS CWA EARLY ON
TUESDAY...THINGS SHOULD DRY OUT...WITH A DRY AND COOL FORECAST
SETTING UP THROUGH MID WEEK. LOW LEVEL DRY AIR ADVECTION AND LOW
LEVEL CAA WILL DEVELOP DURING THE DAY ON TUESDAY. CAN NOT RULE OUT
A FEW AFTERNOON SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS...BUT OVERALL...THE
PRECIP TREND GOES TO DRY CONDITIONS THROUGH WEDNESDAY. THE SECOND
AREA OF LOW PRESSURE IS NOW FORECAST TO PRODUCE SOME
WAA/DEFORMATION ZONE-FORCED PRECIPITATION WEDNESDAY NIGHT OVER
THIS CWA...MAINLY ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF OF ZONES...AND SO
HIGHEST POPS SHOW UP WEDNESDAY NIGHT ACROSS THE EAST...WITH JUST
SLIGHT CHANCE POPS STRETCHING BACK TO THE MISSOURI RIVER VALLEY.

.LONG TERM...FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY

A PERSISTENT MID LEVEL TROF OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS WILL RESULT
IN BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE EXTENDED. MODELS ARE
SHOWING THE MID LEVEL TROF WILL EVENTUALLY BE REPLACED WITH A
RIDGE WHICH SHOULD RESULT IN A WARMING TREND BEGINNING ON SUNDAY AND
MONDAY.

THE PERIOD BEGINS WITH AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE LIFTING NORTHEAST
ACROSS MINNESOTA. THERE IS SOME PLACEMENT ISSUES AMONG MODELS SO
WILL KEEP PCPN CHANCES AS IS FOR THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT.
ADDITIONAL INSTABILITY SHOWERS COULD BE POSSIBLE IN THE EASTERN
CWA ON FRIDAY. ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...A FEW MODELS ARE
ADVERTISING A SHORT WAVE TROF SLIDING SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE
EASTERN DAKOTAS. THERE COULD BE SOME INSTABILITY SHOWERS WITH THIS
SHORT WAVE...BUT WILL LEAVE THIS TIME PERIOD DRY FOR NOW.

WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES EXPECTED TO BE SOME 10 TO 15 DEGREES BELOW
CLIMO...WELL USE THE BIAS CORRECTED ECMWF FOR TEMPERATURES. THE
BIAS CORRECTED ECMWF HAS A BETTER TRACK RECORD FOR COLD EVENTS
THEN THE GFS.

.AVIATION...
TAFS FOR THE KABR...KATY...KPIR AND KMBG TERMINALS

ACCORDING TO MODEL TIME HEIGHTS IT APPEARS THAT MVFR CIGS AND SOME
MVFR HAZE/FOG WILL HANG IN THROUGH A FAIR PART OF THE NIGHT AT
KATY/KABR. THESE SITES ALSO HAVE THE LOWEST CHANCE FOR ANY
OVERNIGHT THUNDERSTORMS. MEANWHILE KPIR/KMBG COULD STILL SEE SOME
THUNDERSTORMS AS ACTIVITY COMES OUT OF WESTERN SOUTH DAKOTA LATER
TONIGHT.
