AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ABERDEEN SD
240 PM CDT MON MAY 30 2011

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT
SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL THIS AFTERNOON/TONIGHT...AND WINDS ON
TUESDAY WILL BE THE MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGE.

AS OF 19Z...AND AREA OF LOW PRESSURE IS SITUATED OVER HAND COUNTY.
STRONG SOUTHERLY WINDS AHEAD OF THE LOW PRESSURE HAS BROUGHT LLM
INTO THE EASTERN CWA...WITH DEW POINTS IN THE UPPER 60S...TO THE
LOWER 70S. WITH THESE HIGH DEW POINTS...AND PWATS APPROACHING TWO
STANDARD DEVIATIONS ABOVE NORMAL...WILL MAINTAIN THE CURRENT FFA
AND WILL CONTINUE TO MENTION LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL AS WELL. AS
FOR THE SEVERE POTENTIAL...OUR 18Z SOUNDING IS SHOWING A PRETTY
HEALTHY CAP WITH H750 TEMPS AROUND 18C AND H7 TEMPS AROUND 14C.
HOWEVER COLDER AIR ALOFT WILL EVENTUALLY ERODE THE CAP...WITH H7
TEMPS PROGGED TO DROP TO 9C LATER THIS AFTERNOON. THE EROSION OF
THE CAP IS MORE EVIDENT OVER CENTRAL NEBRASKA OR WHERE A LINE OF
CU HAS BEEN DEVELOPING. BELIEVE CONVECTION SHOULD DEVELOP WITHIN
THE NEXT FEW HOURS...ESPECIALLY NEAR THE COLD FRONT/DRY LINE.
INDIVIDUAL DISCRETE SUPERCELLS COULD BE POSSIBLE...HOWEVER WITHIN
A FEW HOURS STORMS SHOULD CONSOLIDATE INTO A LINE OF STORMS. THESE
STORMS SHOULD QUICKLY RACE NORTHEAST ACROSS THE EASTERN CWA
BETWEEN 22Z AND 04Z. WHILE NOT CURRENTLY IN THE FORECAST...AM A
BIT CONCERNED WITH ELEVATED CONVECTION WITHIN THE COLD SECTOR OF
THE SURFACE LOW...OR OVER THE NW CWA LATER TONIGHT. ALL CONVECTION
SHOULD BE EAST AND NORTH OF THE CWA BY 6Z...WITH DRY CONDITIONS
EXPECTED FOR THE REST OF THE SHORT TERM.

THE OTHER ISSUE IN THE SHORT IS WINDS ON TUESDAY. MODELS ARE STILL
INDICATING STRONG WINDS ACROSS MUCH OF THIS CWA...WITH SUSTAINED
WINDS AROUND 30 KNOTS POSSIBLE. MOMENTUM TRANSFER IN BUFKIT IS
SIGNIFICANTLY LESS THEN WHAT PREVIOUS MODELS INDICATED...AND ARE
NO LONGER SHOWING HIGH WIND WARNING CRITERIA. BECAUSE OF MODEL
UNCERTAINTY...WILL MAINTAIN THE HIGH WIND WATCH.

.LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY

DECENT AGREEMENT EXISTS IN LONG RANGE MODELS WITH SEVERAL FEATURES
EARLY TO LATCH ONTO...FOLLOWED BY A PROLONGED PERIOD IN WHICH THE
REGION COULD EXPERIENCE SIGNIFICANT DRYING. TO START OFF THE
PERIOD...EXITING UPPER LOW TO THE EAST...AND A DEVELOPING LOW OVER
THE WESTERN CONUS WILL LEAD TO RIDGING ACROSS THE PLAINS. AN
EJECTING SHORTWAVE WILL INDUCE SURFACE LOW DEVELOPMENT IN EASTERN
MONTANA...HOWEVER FORCING FOR OUR AREA WILL MAINLY CONSIST OF LOW
LEVEL JET DEVELOPMENT THURSDAY AM. WARM AIR SHOULD CAP THE CWA
DURING THE DAY THURSDAY WITH H7 TEMPERATURES INTO THE LOW
TEENS...HOWEVER A SECOND ROUND OF CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY POSSIBLE WITH
LOW LEVEL JET REESTABLISHMENT POSSIBLE AGAIN FRIDAY AM ACROSS THE
NORTHERN TIER OF THE CWA AS A SHORTWAVE MOVES ACROSS ND. AN UPPER
LOW ACROSS CENTRAL CANADA WILL BRIEFLY FEED COOL AIR INTO THE
NORTHERN PLAINS FOR THE END OF THE WORK WEEK/START OF NEXT
WEEK...HOWEVER A SURGE OF WARMER AIR ALOFT UNDER A BROAD RIDGE IS
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP FOR THE END OF THE WEEKEND/START OF NEXT
WEEK...PROMISING WARMER TEMPERATURES AND DRY CONDITIONS.

&&

.AVIATION...
18Z TAFS FOR THE KABR...KATY...KPIR AND KMBG TERMINALS

LOW PRESSURE RESPONSIBLE FOR IFR VISBY/CIGS ACROSS KPIR/KMBG/KABR
WILL LIFT NORTHWARDS TODAY. THIS WILL LEAD TO VISBY/CIGS GRADUALLY
IMPROVING TO VFR/MARGINALLY MVFR...FIRST FOR KABR...THEN KPIR
FOLLOWED BY KMBG THROUGH THE LATE MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON
HOURS. WILL SEE SOUTH WINDS 20 TO 30KTS FOR KABR/KATY POSSIBLE
DEVELOP TODAY...ALONG WITH THE POSSIBILITY FOR THUNDERSTORMS
DURING THE AFTERNOON/EVENING. THERE IS THE RISK THAT STORMS
AFFECTING THESE TERMINALS COULD PRODUCE HAIL AND STRONG WINDS.
ONCE FRONTAL PASSAGE OCCURS THIS AFTERNOON FOR KABR/KATY...WILL
SEE A BRIEF RESPITE FROM HAZARDOUS WEATHER...HOWEVER STRONG
NORTH/NORTHWEST WINDS ANTICIPATED TONIGHT FOR KMBG/KPIR AND BY
MORNING FOR KABR/KATY.
