.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT
CONCERN IN THE SHORT TERM WILL BE WITH QPF TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY
NIGHT AND POSSIBLE FLOODING. A STRONG UPPER LEVEL SHORT WAVE TROUGH
COMING AROUND THE BASE OF THE WESTERN US TROUGH WILL SWING
NORTHEAST ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS AND CLOSE OFF INTO CANADA BY
12Z SATURDAY. THIS WILL PROVIDE THE STRONG UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT
DPVA/UPPER DIVERGENCE FOR NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS INTO
FRIDAY NIGHT. LATE THIS AFTERNOON...A WARM FRONT EXTENDED ACROSS
SOUTH CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST SOUTH DAKOTA WITH AN INVERTED SURFACE
LOW PRESSURE TROUGH ACROSS WESTERN SD. ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE WARM
FRONT...PRETTY GOOD INSTABILITY HAS BUILT UP LATE THIS AFTERNOON.
CONVECTION HAS BEGUN IN EASTERN WY/WESTERN SD LATE THIS AFTERNOON.
EXPECT THIS CONVECTION TO CONTINUE DEVELOPING AND EXPANDING
NORTHEASTWARD THROUGH THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT AS THE LLJ AND
WAA INCREASES. THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY OF SEVERE WEATHER MAINLY
IN CENTRAL SD THIS EVENING. OTHERWISE...THE MODELS ALL SHOW A VERY
SLOW MOVEMENT OF THE SURFACE LOW PRESSURE TROUGH OUT WEST THROUGH
THE NIGHT AND FRIDAY IN RESPONSE TO THE UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE
TROUGH. SEVERAL FACTORS WILL RESULT IN THE POSSIBILITY OF HEAVY
RAIN AND POSSIBLE FLOODING ACROSS MUCH OF THE CWA TONIGHT INTO
FRIDAY. DEEP MOIST SOUTHERLY FLOW ACROSS THE CWA WITH PRECIPITABLE
WATERS INCREASING TO 1.5 TO 1.8 INCHES...DECENT MAINLY ELEVATED
INSTABILITY...WEAK STEERING LEVEL WINDS ALONG WITH A SLOW MOVING
LOW LEVEL FOCUS ZONE. WITH RECENT RAINS ALONG WITH ONGOING
FLOODING AND LOW FFG VALUES ACROSS MUCH OF THE NORTH CENTRAL
CWA...WILL GO WITH A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR MOST OF THE AREA. COULD
SEE SOME 1 TO 2 INCH OR MORE RAINFALL VALUES BY THE TIME THE
RAINFALL IS DONE BY SATURDAY MORNING. ADJUSTED POPS UPWARD FOR
MOST THE CWA AND LAGGED THE ENDING THE PRECIPITATION BACK.

THE RAINFALL SHOULD END BY SATURDAY MORNING IN FAR NORTHEAST CWA
WITH DRIER HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN FOR SATURDAY WITH MOSTLY
SUNNY SKIES. RETURN FLOW FOR LATE SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT
ALONG WITH ANOTHER SHORT WAVE TROUGH WILL BRING BACK CHANCES OF
RAINFALL AGAIN FOR SATURDAY NIGHT.

.LONG TERM...SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY

VERY GOOD AGREEMENT EXISTS IN LONG RANGE DETERMINISTIC AND
ENSEMBLE GUIDANCE...PARTICULARLY THE MAIN UPPER LEVEL FEATURE...AN
ANOMALOUSLY DEEP H5/H7 TROUGH SHIFTING FROM THE INTERMOUNTAIN
WEST INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS AND THEN PROGRESSING INTO THE MID
WEST BY THE END OF NEXT WEEK. THOUGH THE FOCUS FOR SEVERE WEATHER
PARAMETERS IS SOUTH/SOUTHEAST OF THE CWA SUNDAY/MONDAY...PWAT
ANOMALIES WILL REMAIN AT +1 TO +2 STANDARD DEVIATIONS ABOVE CLIMO.
GIVEN SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WITH EMBEDDED SHORTWAVES AND
INSTABILITY...EXPECT AN ACTIVE PERIOD TO LEAD OFF THE START OF THE
WORK WEEK. AS UPPER LOW PASSES OVERHEAD WILL CONTINUE TO SEE
SHOWER ACTIVITY THROUGH MID WEEK. H85 TEMPERATURES DIP TO -1 TO -2
STANDARD DEVIATIONS BELOW CLIMO INTO LATE NEXT
WEEK...THOUGH WE WILL HAVE MORE STABLE CONDITIONS ASSOCIATED WITH
NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT.
