AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ABERDEEN SD
750 PM CDT FRI JUL 29 2011

.UPDATE...
STORMS WEST RIVER ROLLING EAST...AND WILL CONTINUE EAST INTO THE
CWA DESPITE A STORM ENVIRONMENT THAT IS BECOMING LESS FAVORABLE
FOR STRONG STORMS AS THE AFTERNOON COMES TO AN END...THUS WE ARE
EXPERIENCING A DOWNWARD TREND IN STORM INTENSITY. NO OTHER CHANGES
TO FORECAST...NEW AVIATION DISCUSSION BELOW.

&&
.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
.SHORT TERM...THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT

THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT...STORMS ARE BEGINNING TO FIRE IN FAR
EASTERN WYOMING IN RESPONSE TO DIURNAL HEATING AND A MID-LEVEL
SHORTWAVE MOVING OUT OF THE ROCKIES. STORMS SHOULD CONTINUE TO
DEVELOP AND MOVE INTO AN ENVIRONMENT FAVORABLE FOR ISOLATED SEVERE
WEATHER IN WESTERN AND CENTRAL SD WITH MLCAPE VALUES AOA 2000 J/KG
AND EFFECTIVE SHEAR BETWEEN 30-40 KTS. STORM INTENSITY MAY
DECREASE AS SURFACE INSTABILITY WANES WITH THE LOSS OF DIRUNAL
HEATING...BUT A MODEST 25-35 KT LLJ MAY KEEP SOME SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ONGOING THROUGH THE OVERNINGHT...ESPECIALLY IN OUR
NORTHERN TIER COUNTIES.

SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT...SATURDAY MORNING WILL BEGIN WITH
OVERNINGHT SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY MOVING EAST OF THE
CWA. AN UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE WILL BE PROGRESSING EAST ACROSS
SOUTH CENTRAL CANADA...WITH A SURFACE PRESSURE TROUGH MAKING ITS
WAY SOUTHEAST THROUGH ND INTO THE NORTHERN PARTS OF THE
CWA. THIS BOUNDARY WILL SERVE AS A FOCAL POINT FOR POTENTIAL
SEVERE WEATHER SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. ALTHOUGH THE BEST
UPPER-LEVEL SUPPORT WILL BE PRIMARILY NORTH OF OUR AREA CLOSER TO
THE SHORTWAVE...SUFFICIENT SURFACE INSTABILITY AND MODEST SHEAR
SHOULD SUPPORT SEVERE STORMS AS THEY BUILD INTO OUR CWA FROM MN
AND ND. LOCATIONS ALONG THE MISSOURI RIVER AND POINTS WESTWARD
SHOULD STAY DRY AS WARM AIR ADVECTION ALOFT INHIBITS MOST
CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT.

SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT...500 MB RIDGE WILL MOVE INTO THE NORTHERN
PLAINS ON SUNDAY. SURFACE BOUNDARY FROM SATURDAY NIGHT WILL STALL
OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN PART OF THE CWA...WITH A HIGH PRESSURE
TAKING OVER ACROSS THE AREA. SKIES WILL BE MOSTLY CLEAR AND HIGH
TEMPERATURES WILLL BE SLIGHTLY ABOVE AVERAGE. AS THE HIGH PRESSURE
CENTER SLIDES OFF TO THE EAST...WINDS WILL TURN ONCE AGAIN TO OUT
OF THE SOUTH BRINGING AN INCREASE IN HUMIDITY. THIS WILL BE
ESPECIALLY EVIDENT SUNDAY NIGHT...AS A STRONG LLJ DEVELOPS ACROSS
THE CENTRAL PART OF THE STATE. ALTHOUGH MOST CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY
ALONG THE NOSE OF THE LLJ SHOULD REMAIN IN ND...CANNOT RULE OUT A
THUNDERSTORM OR TWO IN OUR NORTHERN COUNTIES.

.LONG TERM...MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY
EARLY ON IN THE PERIOD...HOT TEMPERATURES THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE
BOTTOM HALF OF THE ATMOSPHERE WILL COMBINE WITH HIGH HUMIDITY TO
PRODUCE HEAT INDEX VALUES OVER 100 DEGREES. COULD BE DEALING WITH
A HEAT-RELATED HEADLINE IN THE COMING DAYS FOR MONDAY. BEYOND
MONDAY...TEMPERATURES COOL BACK DOWN CLOSER TO NORMAL AND LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE DECREASES FROM 70S DEWPOINTS BACK DOWN TO 60S
DEWPOINTS.

AS FOR PRECIPITATION CHANCES...GOOD MID-LEVEL WAA/FORCING ZONE
WORKS WEST TO EAST ACROSS THE CWA IN CONJUNCTION WITH A MID-LEVEL
SHORTWAVE PROGGED TO MOVE ACROSS THE REGION LATE SUNDAY
NIGHT/EARLY MONDAY. PRETTY GOOD CHANCE OF SEEING LATE NIGHT
ELEVATED THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING OUT ACROSS PORTIONS OF
WESTERN/CENTRAL SOUTH DAKOTA AND PROPAGATING EAST DURING THE
FIRST HALF OF THE DAY MONDAY. HOWEVER...THE ATMOSPHERE LOOKS
CAPPED OFF TO WIDESPREAD AFTERNOON/EVENING SURFACE=BASED
CONVECTION OVER THIS CWA ON MONDAY AS BY THEN...MID-LEVEL TEMPS
ARE FORECAST TO WARM TO +13C TO +15C. CAN'T RULE OUT AN ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORM GOING UP ON THE SOUTHEASTWARD MOVING SURFACE FRONTAL
BOUNDARY LATE IN THE DAY ON MONDAY. HOWEVER...AT THIS
TIME...BETTER CHANCES FOR MEANINGFUL CONVECTION LOOK TO STAY
NORTH AND EAST OF THIS CWA.

DRIER AND SOMEWHAT COOLER CONDITIONS BUILD INTO THE CWA TUESDAY
AND WEDNESDAY...BEFORE THE UPPER ATMOSPHERE RELOADS WITH ANOTHER
SHORTWAVE TROF THAT IT SENDS THROUGH THE NORTHERN PLAINS. BY
WEDNESDAY NIGHT/THURSDAY RETURN FLOW MOISTURE AND LOW TO MID LEVEL
WAA WILL BE IN PLACE HELPING TO PROMOTE BETTER CHANCES FOR
THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE CWA. THERE IS ANOTHER FRONTAL BOUNDARY
BEING PROGGED TO SAG SOUTHWARD INTO THE CWA TOWARD THE END OF THE
PERIOD...AND THIS WOULD ALSO HELP TO FOCUS SOME THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT LATER IN THE WEEK.

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

VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL ACROSS THE AREA OVER THE NEXT 24
HOURS OUTSIDE OF THE REMNANTS OF THUNDERSTORMS THAT COULD MOVE
INTO THE KMBG/KPIR TERMINALS LATE THIS EVENING. ADDITIONAL STORM
DEVELOPMENT POSSIBLE IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS ACROSS THE
KMBG/KABR TERMINALS.
