AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ABERDEEN SD
1251 AM CDT SUN JUN 26 2011

.UPDATE...
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 552 HAS BEEN EXTENDED IN TIME AND
COVERAGE UNTIL 3 AM CDT...FOR SULLY AND HUGHES COUNTIES AS WELL AS
POTTER...FAULK...HYDE...HAND AND BUFFALO COUNTIES. STANLEY...JONES
AND LYMAN COUNTIES HAVE BEEN REMOVED FROM THE WATCH.

STRONG TO OCCASIONALLY SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE MOVING THROUGH
CENTRAL SOUTH DAKOTA...WITH ADDITIONAL SPOTTY COVERAGE OF STORMS
MOVING SLOWLY TOWARD NORTH CENTRAL SOUTH DAKOTA. THUNDERSTORMS
HAVE A 20 TO 30 KNOT LOW LEVEL JET AT 850HPA AND PLENTY OF LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE TO WORK WITH...SO SHOULD BE WATCHING CONVECTION
SPREAD NORTH AND EAST FOR SEVERAL MORE HOURS EARLY THIS MORNING.
UPDATED GRIDS/TEXT PRODUCTS SENT.

&&
.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT
THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE STORMS TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT WILL
BE THE MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGE. A SECONDARY CHALLENGE WILL BE
LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL ON SUNDAY WHICH MAY LEAD TO POSSIBLE
FLASH FLOODING.

THERE ARE TWO LOCATIONS FOR CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT TONIGHT. THE
FIRST LOCATION IS OVER THE BLACK HILLS AND THE PANHANDLE OF
NEBRASKA. SOME CONVECTIVE ALLOWING MODELS ARE SUGGESTING
THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP OVER THE BLACK HILLS SOMETIME AFTER
21Z. THESE THUNDERSTORMS MAY GROW INTO A MCS AS THEY TRACK ESE
ACROSS SOUTHERN SOUTH DAKOTA. BECAUSE OF LAST NIGHTS
CONVECTION...ONE HOUR FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE IN THE SW CWA IS AROUND
1 INCH. DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY OF THUNDERSTORMS EXCEEDING THE ONE
HOUR FF GUIDANCE...DECIDED TO ISSUE A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR ALL
COUNTIES ALONG AND WEST OF THE JAMES RIVER VALLEY BEGINNING AT 6Z.
THE SECOND AREA OF CONVECTION WILL BE ALONG A SLOW MOVING COLD
FRONT WHICH IS CURRENTLY SITUATED OVER WESTERN ND. LUCKILY THE
BEST INSTABILITY IS LOCATED AHEAD OF THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY AND THE
BEST SHEAR IS BEHIND THE FRONT. IT SEEM POSSIBLE FOR CONVECTION TO
DEVELOP ALONG THE FRONT LATER TONIGHT AS IT CONTINUES TO TRACK SE.
A FEW OF THESE STORMS MAY TRACK ALONG THE ND/SD BORDER TONIGHT.

FORECASTER CONFIDENCE WITH REGARDS TO WIDESPREAD SEVERE STORMS ON
SUNDAY HAS DECREASED WITH THE LATEST MODEL RUNS. EVEN THE LATEST
DAY 2 OUTLOOK HAS LOWERED THEIR HIGH END SLIGHT RISK OVER SOUTH
CENTRAL SOUTH DAKOTA. THERE ARE TWO FACTORS THAT MAY LIMIT THE
OVERALL SEVERE THREAT. THE FIRST ISSUE IS WHETHER OR NOT THE
ATMOSPHERE WILL BE ABLE TO RESET FROM TONIGHT'S WEATHER BEFORE THE
COLD FRONT BEGINS TO SLIDE THROUGH AROUND MID DAY. THE SECOND
ISSUE DEALS WITH THE PLACEMENT OF THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY. A FEW
MODELS ARE SHOWING A WARM FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL BE THE MAIN FOCAL
POINT FOR SEVERE WEATHER...WHICH SHOULD BE ALONG THE ND/SD BORDER.
THIS IS WHERE THE NAM/GFS IS SHOWING THE BULK OF THE QPF
OCCURRING. WITH A EASTERLY STORM MOTION...IT SEEM POSSIBLE FOR
TRAINING THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP ALONG THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY.
THERE IS STILL A POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE STORMS ESPECIALLY FOR THE SW
CWA WHERE CAPE VALUES EXCEED 5000 J/KG AND 0-6 KM SHEAR EXCEEDS 40
KNOTS. BECAUSE OF THE HIGH CONVECTIVE PARAMETERS...WILL MAINTAIN
T+ AND RW+.

DRIER AIR PUSHES INTO THE REGION BEHIND THE STORM SYSTEM ON MONDAY
WITH MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOWING SIGNIFICANT DRY AIR IN THE MID
LEVELS. THOUGHT ABOUT REMOVING THE MENTION OF THUNDERSTORMS ON
MONDAY...BUT WILL LEAVE IN FOR THE TIME BEING.

.LONG TERM...TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY
THE OPERATIONAL MODELS AND GFS ENSEMBLES AGREE WELL AND WERE
CONSISTENT WITH THE CHANGE IN THE WEATHER PATTERN FOR THE UPCOMING
WEEK AND INTO THE EARLY PART OF THE WEEKEND. ON TUESDAY
MORNING...A LARGE CLOSED HIGH PRESSURE AREA WILL BE ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN US WITH A STRONG CLOSED UPPER LOW PRESSURE AREA OFF THE
WEST COAST OF THE US. THE HIGH PRESSURE AREA IN THE SOUTH WILL
BUILD NORTH ACROSS THE CENTRAL US FROM TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY.
THE UPPER LOW OFF THE WEST COAST WILL EJECT NORTHEAST AND BECOME AN
OPEN WAVE AS IT QUICKLY HEADS NORTHEAST ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE
UPPER HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE AND ACROSS OUR REGION THURSDAY NIGHT
THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING. AT THE SURFACE ON TUESDAY MORNING...A
LARGE HIGH PRESSURE AREA TO THE EAST WILL RETURN MUCH WARMER AIR
INTO THE REGION FOR WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY AS IT PUSHES EAST. AFTER
ONE MORE BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURE DAY ON TUESDAY ACROSS THE
CWA...TEMPERATURES WILL RISE TO ABOVE TO MUCH ABOVE NORMAL ACROSS
THE CWA FOR WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. HIGHS WILL BE MOSTLY IN THE MID
80S TO THE MID 90S ON BOTH DAYS WITH THE WARMEST AIR ALONG THE
MISSOURI RIVER. WITH WARM CAPPING ALOFT...WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY
SHOULD BE MOSTLY DRY ACROSS THE CWA. WITH THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH
AND SURFACE COOL FRONT PUSHING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT...HAVE IN
CHANCES OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. THE FLOW WILL BECOME WEST TO
NORTHWEST ALOFT ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY WITH A COOL DOWN WITH HIGH
TEMPERATURES MORE IN THE UPPER 70S TO THE MID 80S. IT IS ALSO
EXPECTED TO REMAIN DRY FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY ACROSS THE CWA.
