AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ABERDEEN SD
930 PM CDT MON JUL 4 2011

.UPDATE...
CONVECTION FINALLY UNDERWAY ACROSS THE CWA AS OF 0145 UTC...WITH
SEVERAL CELLS NOW DEVELOPING ALONG THE SFC BOUNDARY/COLD FRONT
EXTENDING FROM ERN ND SWWD THRU CENTRAL SD. UP UNTIL NOW...CINH
WAS JUST STRONG ENOUGH TO PREVENT DEEP CONVECTION FROM INITIATING.
NEVERTHELESS...VERY MOIST PBL /SFC TDS IN THE LOW- MID 70S/ COMBINED
WITH STEEP MID- LEVEL LAPSE RATES IS LEADING TO ROBUST MLCAPE
VALUES IN EXCESS 2500 J/KG ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA /REF 00Z KABR
SOUNDING/. IN ADDITION...S/SELY SFC WINDS AHEAD OF SFC FRONT
COMBINED WITH MODEST WESTERLY MID LEVEL FLOW AROUND 30 KNOTS IS
YIELDING EFFECTIVE SHEAR VALUES AROUND 40 KNOTS. SO...CURRENT
THINKING IS THE CONVECTION WILL CONTINUE TO INTENSIFY AND EXPAND
AS A SUBTLE SHORTWAVE APPROACHES THE AREA FROM WY/MT AND ENHANCES
UPPER LEVEL ASCENT. THUS...SCATTERED STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS ARE
STILL POSSIBLE LATE THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT...WITH THE MAIN
THREAT BEING LARGE HAIL AND DOWNBURST WINDS. STORMS ALSO SEEM TO BE
MOVING RATHER SLOWLY...SO POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAINFALL ALSO
CONTINUES.

&&
.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT

MAIN CONCERNS FOR THE SHORT TERM OBVIOUSLY CENTER AROUND
CONVECTION AND POSSIBLE SEVERE. FRONTAL BOUNDARY HAS PUSHED INTO A
POSITION STRETCHING FROM AROUND KDVL...SOUTH TO ABOUT KPHP. THE
SOUTHERN PART OF THE FRONT OVER SOUTH DAKOTA IS HANGING MORE BACK
TO THE WEST VS NORTH DAKOTA WHERE STRONGER PRESSURE RISES ARE
DROPPING INTO NORTHWEST NORTH DAKOTA. MLCAPES NEAR THE FRONT ARE
NEARLY UP TO 4K J/KG WITH ONLY SLIGHT AMOUNTS OF MLCIN LEFT TO
OVERCOME. MEANWHILE VISIBLE SATELLITE INDICATES STORMS DEVELOPING
OVER FAR NORTHERN NORTH DAKOTA...AND ACROSS THE BLACK
HILLS/NORTHERN WYOMING. CU FIELD IS EXPANDING ACROSS SOUTHWEST SD
AND THROUGHOUT THE UPPER JAMES VALLEY. SO WHERE DOES ALL THIS
LEAD? LOOKS LIKE STORMS WILL FIRE ALONG THE FRONT OVER NORTH
DAKOTA AND THEN SLIDE S/SE TOWARD NC/NORTHEAST SOUTH DAKOTA THIS
EVENING. ALSO...S/W ENERGY OVER THE INTERMOUNTAIN REGION SHOULD
SLIDE INTO WESTERN SOUTH DAKOTA LATER THIS EVENING...WITH
ACCOMPANYING COOLER AIR ALOFT...THUS ALLOWING FOR GREATER COVERAGE
OF CONVECTION TO FORM AND MOVE E/SE. LLJ LOOKS LIKE IT WILL FOCUS
MORE SO OVER SOUTH CENTRAL SOUTH DAKOTA OVERNIGHT...THUS
SUGGESTING THAT THE HIGHEST POTENTIAL FOR DECENT MCS FORMATION AND WIDESPREAD
HEAVY RAIN TO BE OVER SOUTHERN SOUTH DAKOTA OVERNIGHT. FLASH FLOOD
WATCH AREAL COVERAGE LOOKS FINE FOR NOW. ALONG WITH THE UNSTABLE
ATMOSPHERE IS A MODERATE AMOUNT OF DEEP LAYER SHEAR AND STEEP
H7-H5 LAPSE RATES WHICH SHOULD SUPPORT BIG HAIL AND STRONG WINDS.
LOW LEVEL SHEAR SOMEWHAT MARGINAL THUS TORNADIC POTENTIAL LOOKS
LIMITED.

FOR TUESDAY THERE MAY BE SOME LINGERING ACTIVITY OVER THE EASTERN
AND SOUTHERN CWA IN THE MORNING BEFORE IT MOVES MOSTLY OUT THE
FORECAST AREA IN THE AFTERNOON. THEN IT LOOKS DRY FOR TUESDAY
NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF A SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE AND LOWER DEWPOINTS. A CHANCE OF CONVECTION RETURNS TO
THE FORECAST FOR WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS LLJ AGAIN RAMPS UP OVER THE
WESTERN HIGH PLAINS AND THEN SHIFTS TOWARD THE WESTERN CWA
WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

.LONG TERM...THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY
THE OVERALL FLOW PATTERN FORECAST REMAINS UNCHANGED. THIS CWFA HIS
HANGING OUT WITHIN OR JUST ON THE FRINGE OF THE POLAR JET
WESTERLIES IN THE OUT PERIODS. STILL UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF A
DEPARTING SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE ON THURSDAY...WITH RETURN FLOW
WELL ESTABLISHED. THERE CONTINUES TO BE A COLD FRONT FORECAST TO
SWEEP THROUGH THE CWFA BASICALLY FRIDAY NIGHT/SATURDAY...AND SOME
OF THE BEST CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS LINE UP ALONG
THIS FROPA. BEYOND THAT...MODELS PROG AN UPPER LEVEL JET STREAK TO
SET UP ACROSS NORTH DAKOTA AND MINNESOTA BY LATE IN THE
PERIOD...WITH THE RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION PLACEMENT ANGLING BACK
ACROSS THE WESTERN DAKOTAS AND MONTANA...WHERE ALL THE BEST LOW
LEVEL WAA/MOISTURE ADVECTION/LLJ BEGINS TO POINT TO SUNDAY AND
MONDAY. SO...CONVECTIVE CHANCES MAY SUBSIDE BRIEFLY SATURDAY NIGHT
INTO SUNDAY...BUT THE SET UP MAKES THEM NECESSARY FOR SUNDAY NIGHT
AND MONDAY.

TEMPERATURES WILL BE NEAR NORMAL DURING THE EXTENDED GIVEN THE
ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN OF PERIODIC COLD FROPAS...KEEPING THINGS
FROM GETTING OVERLY WARM BENEATH AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE IN PLACE
OVER THE COUNTRY'S MID-SECTION.

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

LATEST RADAR IMAGERY AS OF 0230Z IS INDICATING SCATTERED STRONG TO
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. SOME OF
THESE STORMS MAY AFFECT THE TAF SITES...PACKING IFR CONDITIONS IN
HEAVY RAINFALL...AND PERHAPS SOME HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS.
SCATTERED STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO PERSIST ACROSS MUCH OF THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS AS A COLD FRONT SWEEPS ACROSS THE AREA.
