AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ABERDEEN SD
1034 PM CDT SUN MAY 8 2011

.UPDATE...
UPDATED TO REMOVE THE TORNADO WATCH FROM WRN COUNTIES. ALSO
LOWERED THUNDERSTORMS CHANCES OVERNIGHT WITH LATEST OBSERVATIONS
AND SATELLITE IMAGERY...ALONG WITH MODEL GUIDANCE SUGGESTING LESS
IN THE WAY OF SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE OVERNIGHT.

&&
.PREV DISCUSSION...
.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY
FORECAST CHALLENGES...CONVECTION POTENTIAL OVER THE NEXT FEW
DAYS...ALONG WITH HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL...AND IMPACTS OF STRATUS ON
TEMPERATURES.

CURRENTLY...CONVECTION FROM EARLIER IN THE DAY HAS PRETTY MUCH
VACATED THE CWA PUSHING OFF TO THE EAST INTO MINNESOTA.
ELSEWHERE...PARTLY TO MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES THIS AFTERNOON HAS LED TO
CONSIDERABLE DESTABILIZATION OF THE ATMOSPHERE...PARTICULARLY OUT
ACROSS THE SWRN FORECAST ZONES...WHERE CAPE HAS INCREASED TO AS
MUCH AS 2000 TO 3000 J/KG...WHILE CINH HAS DIMINISHED IN A COUPLE
OF DIFFERENT AREAS TO LESS THAN -50 J/KG. BENEATH THE MOSTLY
CLOUDY SKIES OUT EAST WHERE OFF AND ON SHOWERS HAVE JUST RECENTLY
SHIFTED OFF TO THE EAST...TEMPERATURES ARE WARMING THROUGH THE
UPPER 50S INTO THE LOWER 60S. ELSEWHERE...TEMPERATURES ARE WARMING
THROUGH THE 60S AND 70S WITH SOME LOW TO MID 80S NOTED JUST SOUTH
AND WEST OF JONES/LYMAN COUNTIES. VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY ALSO
APPEARS TO BE DETECTING POSSIBLY THE FIRST TOWERING CU IN NORTH
CENTRAL NEBRASKA AMID THE CU FIELD STRETCHING FROM NERN KANSAS ALL
THE WAY UP TO JUST SOUTH OF KPIR.

A COUPLE OF QUICK DETAIL UPDATES TO WEATHER GRIDS...STILL HAVE
SEVERE THUNDER MENTION IN ACROSS THE SWRN ZONES FROM LATE THIS
AFTERNOON THROUGH MID-EVENING...FOR ANY CONVECTION THAT CAN GET
GOING WITHIN THIS DESTABILIZING AIRMASS OVER NC NEBRASKA AND SC
SODAK. PWATS ARE PROGGED TO BE 1.00-1.25 INCHES ACROSS MUCH OF THE
CWA OVER THE NEXT 36 TO 42 HOURS. PWATS LIKE THESE ARE ABOVE
NORMAL FOR EARLY MAY...LIKE 2 STANDARD DEVIATIONS ABOVE
NORMAL...AND CAN BE A PRETTY GOOD INDICATOR AS TO THE POTENTIAL
FOR EFFICIENT RAIN PRODUCTION AND TORRENTIAL RAINFALL RATES.
SO...HAVE INTRODUCED RW+ OR HEAVY RAIN POSSIBLE MENTION INTO
BOTH TONIGHT/S AND MONDAY NIGHT/S WEATHER GRIDS FOR THIS.

IN ADDITION TO THE POSSIBILITY OF ISOLATED TO WIDELY SCATTERED
SUPERCELLULAR THUNDERSTORMS /LARGE HAIL MAIN SEVERE THREAT/
THROUGH LATE THIS EVENING OVER PORTIONS OF CENTRAL AND SOUTH
CENTRAL SOUTH DAKOTA...THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR STRONG CONVECTION
LATER TONIGHT WHEN A STRONGER AREA OF LOW PRESSURE APPROACHES THE
REGION FROM THE WEST. THE POSSIBILITY EXISTS FOR LATE NIGHT
THUNDERSTORMS TO GET GOING ACROSS NWRN SODAK/SWRN NODAK AND
PROPAGATE EASTWARD ALONG THE BEST GRADIENT OF LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE/WAA AND WITHIN A STRONG LOW LEVEL JET FORECAST TO DEVELOP
OVERNIGHT TONIGHT. THERE COULD BE A FEW SEVERE STORMS WITHIN THIS
LATE NIGHT CONVECTION SCENARIO...WITH LARGE HAIL THE PRIMARY
THREAT.

EXPECTING A BREAK IN THE ACTION ON MONDAY ONCE OVERNIGHT/EARLY
MONDAY MORNING CONVECTION CLEARS OUT OF THE AREA. IN ALL
LIKELIHOOD...UNTIL THE NEXT LARGE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE BEGINS
APPROACHING THE REGION EARLY MONDAY EVENING...DRY CONDITIONS WOULD
HOLD OVER THE AREA WHILE STRONG MID-LEVEL WARM AIR LAYER IN PLACE
WOULD ACT TO KEEP THINGS CAPPED DURING THE DAY. HOWEVER...WHEN
SURFACE LOW PRESSURE AND ATTENDANT SURFACE WARM FRONTAL BOUNDARY
BEGINS APPROACHING LATE IN THE DAY /MAINLY AFTER 00Z
TUESDAY/...0-6KM SHEAR RAMPS UP FROM AROUND 30 KNOTS TO MORE LIKE
45 TO 50 KNOTS OF SHEAR AND LOW LEVEL WAA/FORCING ALONG ANOTHER
DEVELOPING LOW LEVEL JET MONDAY NIGHT COULD VERY WELL SIGNAL THE
START OF ANOTHER ROUND OF STRONG NIGHT-TIME STORMS MOVING
NORTHWARD INTO NORTH DAKOTA.

ON TUESDAY...MUCH OF THE FORCING/LIFT AND MOISTURE FOR CONVECTION
IS SHIFTING INTO NORTH DAKOTA AND MINNESOTA. THE ONLY POTENTIAL
FOR CONVECTION COULD COME AT PEAK HEATING AS A COLD FRONT/DRYLINE
FEATURE TRIES TO WORK EASTWARD ACROSS THE CWA. COULD SEE ISOLATED
TO WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWERS FORMING ALONG THIS BOUNDARY TUESDAY
AFTERNOON. OTHERWISE...TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT ARE TRANSITION
PERIODS FOR DRIER AIR AND COLDER AIR WORKING INTO THE CWA FROM THE
NORTHWEST. TUESDAY NIGHT IS CURRENTLY A DRY FORECAST PERIOD.

TEMPERATURES THROUGH EARLY TUESDAY WILL BE NEAR TO ABOVE NORMAL AT
NIGHT...WHILE DAYTIME HIGHS ON MONDAY COULD BE HAMPERED BY LOW
STRATUS THAT IS STILL DEPICTED IN THE MODELS AS FORMING MAINLY
BETWEEN 925HPA AND 850HPA LATER TONIGHT AND PERSISTING THROUGH
MUCH OF MONDAY NIGHT. QUITE THE GRADIENT OF TEMPERATURE IS
FORECAST RIGHT NOW ON TUESDAY...WITH THE FAR NORTHWESTERN CWA
POSSIBLY ONLY SEEING HIGHS IN THE UPPER 50S TO LOWER 60S...WHILE
THE FAR EASTERN ZONES WARM INTO THE UPPER 70S TO AROUND 80. RATHER
LOW CONFIDENCE/LOW SKILL TEMPERATURE FORECAST SETTING UP THERE.

.LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY

MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGE CONTINUES TO BE PRECIP CHANCES THROUGH THE
PERIOD. MODELS HAVE BEEN INCONSISTENT RUN TO RUN DUE TO
DISCREPANCIES IN TIMING AND EXACT POSITION OF LOWS. THE 12Z ECMWF
CAME IN SIGNIFICANTLY WETTER THAN THE 00Z RUN AND ALSO WETTER THAN
THE 12Z GFS. THOUGH THE GFS IS THE OUTLIER IN THE SPEED OF THE SYSTEM
MOVING THROUGH THE CENTRAL PLAINS MID WEEK BELIEVE THE ECMWF MAY
BE PUSHING PRECIP A LITTLE TOO FAR NORTH. HOWEVER DID KEEP IN SOME
SLIGHT CHANCE POPS. FEEL THAT SOME SHOWERS/TSTORMS ARE NOT OUT OF
THE QUESTION DURING AFTERNOON/EVENING HOURS MOST DAYS BUT HAD LOW
CONFIDENCE IN TIMING SO KEPT SOME OF THE POPS BELOW PRECIP
MENTION. BEST CHANCES WILL BE ACROSS THE EASTERN COUNTIES LATE ON WEDNESDAY.

TEMPS WILL BE SOMEWHAT DEPENDENT ON LOW TRACKS AND CLOUD COVER.
EXPECT BELOW AVERAGE TEMPS THROUGH THE PERIOD WITH AN UPPER TROF
OVER THE REGION UNTIL SATURDAY. TEMPS WILL BEGIN TO MODERATE OVER
THE WEEKEND UNDER HIGH PRESSURE.

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

CIGS WILL GENERALLY BE VFR THIS EVENING...BUT WILL THEN LOWER
AFTER ABOUT MIDNIGHT TO IFR. CIGS AND VSBYS MAY OCCASIONALLY DROP
INTO THE MVFR CATEGORY IN ASSOCIATION WITH STRONGER THUNDERSTORMS
OVER SOUTH CENTRAL SOUTH DAKOTA. SOME OF THE THUNDERSTORMS MAY BE
STRONG...PRODUCING GUSTY WINDS AND SMALL HAIL...MAINLY SOUTHEAST OF KPIR.
THUNDERSTORMS CHANCES WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MONDAY AND SPREAD
OVER THE AREA BY LATE MONDAY AFTERNOON...POTENTIALLY IMPACTING ALL
TAF SITES.
