AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ABERDEEN SD
323 PM CDT SAT JUN 18 2011

.SHORT TERM...THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING

SURFACE HIGH SITTING ACROSS THE EASTERN CWA WILL CONTINUE TO SHIFT
EAST OVERNIGHT...AS WILL SOUTHERLY WINDS. SEEING INCREASED
DEWPOINTS IN UPSLOPE AREAS WEST RIVER...WITH GUIDANCE SUGGESTING
ENOUGH CAPE THIS EVENING FOR THE SHORTWAVE ASSOCIATED WITH
NEBRASKA PANHANDLE CONVECTION FAR ENOUGH EAST TO ALLOW SOME
CONVECTION TO DEVELOP ACROSS WESTERN COUNTIES. WEAK LOW LEVEL JET
FORMS WEST RIVER TONIGHT...ALLOWING CONVECTION POTENTIAL TO
PERSIST ACROSS THE MISSOURI VALLEY AND POINTS WEST. AS LOW
PRESSURE DEVELOPS TO THE SOUTH IN ASSOCIATION WITH A CUT OFF UPPER
LOW TREKKING ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS...REMINISCENT OF A LATE
WINTER STORM SYSTEM...THE COMBINATION OF ISENTROPIC FORCING AND
DIABATIC INSTABILITY WILL RESULT IN A PROLONGED PERIOD OF
RAIN/THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY. OUTSIDE OF SHORT PERIOD SUNDAY
AFTERNOON WEST RIVER...THE MAJORITY OF THE CWA SEVERE WEATHER
PARAMETERS ARE TOO LOW TO SUGGEST ANYTHING OTHER THAN GENERIC
WEAK STORMS...AND THE MAIN THREAT TO THE FORECAST AREA IS THE
PROLONGED PERIOD OF RAINFALL. PINPOINTING SPECIFIC TIMING AND
INTENSITY WILL NEED TO BE ADDRESSED ON A FORECAST BY FORECAST
BASIS...HOWEVER PWATS RANGE AT THE LOW END OF A STANDARD DEVIATION
ABOVE CLIMO...AN INCH TO 1.5 MAXING OUT MONDAY AM.

.LONG TERM...TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY

WRAP AROUND PRECIPITATION ASSOCIATED UNSEASONABLY DEEP CLOSED
UPPER LEVEL LOW CONTINUES TO SLOWLY TRANSLATE EWD INTO SOUTHERN MN
ON TUESDAY. NUMERICAL MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN REMARKABLE AGREEMENT
WITH THE TIMING AND PLACEMENT OF SAID UPPER LOW. CONTINUED IDEA OF
LIKELY SHOWERS/T-STORMS IN THE FORECAST FOR ALL AREAS THROUGH
TUESDAY...WITH HIGH CHANCES OVER THE EAST THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT.
H5 HEIGHTS RISE AND SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE REGION
WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY. SFC HIGH SHIFTS EAST AND RETURN FLOW
SETS UP THURSDAY NIGHT. MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT BRINGING WEAK
SHORT-WAVE TROUGHS IN THE SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT THROUGH THE
NORTHERN PLAINS ON FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT. THE SHORT-WAVES WILL COMBINE
WITH INCREASING GULF MOISTURE AND SFC CONVERGENCE NEAR THE MO RIVER TO
PRODUCE AT LEAST ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS THAT ARE PROGGED TO PROPAGATE
EWD LATE-DAY FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY NIGHT.

BELOW AVERAGE TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE LONG TERM PERIOD.

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

VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL FOR ALL TAF SITES THROUGH SUNDAY
MORNING. ISOLATED MVFR CIGS IN -TSRAS ARE POSSIBLE FOR KMBG AND
KPIR LATE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH APPROXIMATELY SUNSET.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
A SLOW MOVING STORM SYSTEM TREKKING ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS WILL
PROVIDE FAVORABLE CONDITIONS FOR A PROLONGED PERIOD OF RAIN AND
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY...FROM SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY. THEIR
IS THE POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF RAINFALL ACROSS A
MAJORITY OF SOUTH DAKOTA...ON THE ORDER TO AN INCH TO 3
INCHES...WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS. FLOOD
GUIDANCE REMAINS LOW BETWEEN THE MISSOURI AND JAMES VALLEYS...AND
THEIR REMAINS AN INABILITY FOR MUNICIPALITIES ALONG THE MISSOURI
RIVER TO HANDLE WIDESPREAD/PROLONGED PERIOD OF PRECIPITATION.
THANKFULLY...THIS SYSTEM IS MUCH MORE LATE WINTER LIKE...AND THUS
PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES ARE NOT EXCEPTIONALLY HIGH...WITH THE
MAIN ISSUE BEING THE RISK FOR A PROLONGED/PERSISTENT PERIOD OF
LIGHT TO MODERATE PRECIPITATION AFFECTING A FEW LOCALITIES.
