AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION FOR SOUTHEAST SD/SOUTHWEST MN/NORTHWEST IA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SIOUX FALLS SD
1140 AM CDT MON JUN 13 2011

.DISCUSSION...
MCS HAS MOVED EAST OF THE AREA AS OF 16Z. CIRRUS WILL GRADUALLY
ERODE ACROSS THE ERN CWA. AT THIS POINT...EXPECTATION IS THAT
POST-CONVECTIVE CU WILL FORM IN THE CLEARING AS SURFACE TEMPERATURES
APPROACH 70 DEGREES. THEREFORE HAVE KEPT TEMPERATURES IN THE LOWER
70S IN MOST AREAS AS INCREASED CLOUDS WILL LIKELY SLOW THE RISE OF
THE AFTERNOON. HOWEVER...SHOULD CU NOT FORM...THEN TEMPERATURES
WOULD RISE INTO THE MID TO UPPER 70S.

OTHERWISE CONVECTION CONTINUES TO FORM ALONG A BOUNDARY WEST OF THE
JAMES RIVER AND THEN DECREASE AS IT MOVE EAST OF THE JAMES. WITH
WEAK UPPER LEVEL FORCING FOR ASCENT...SEE NO REASON WHY CONVECTION
WILL NOT CONTINUE TO DEVELOP THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. 0 TO 6 BULK
SHEAR IS MARGINAL...SO EXPECTATION IS MOST CONVECTION WILL REMAIN
NON SEVERE ALTHOUGH AN ISOLATED CELL WEST OF THE JAMES COULD PRODUCE
MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL. MORE ORGANIZED CONVECTION SHOULD DEVELOP
LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING ALONG THE BOUNDARY WEST OF THE MISSOURI
AND MOVE EAST OF THE MISSOURI DURING THE EVENING. THESE STORMS COULD
ALSO BE MARGINALLY SEVERE ALTHOUGH SUPERCELLS ARE UNLIKELY.

ZFP AND PFM ALREADY UPDATED. /SCHUMACHER

&&

.AVIATION...
CONVECTION WILL CONTINUE ALONG AND WEST OF THE JAMES RIVER MUCH OF
THE AFTERNOON. IT WILL BE DISORGANIZED AND IS GENERALLY EXPECTED TO
WEAKEN AS IT MOVES EAST ALTHOUGH AN ISOLATED CELL COULD REACH I29.
MORE ORGANIZED CONVECTION LIKELY TO DEVELOP ALONG THE BOUNDARY WEST
OF THE MISSOURI AND THESE SHOULD SLOWLY MOVE EAST THROUGH THE
EVENING. WHERE CU FORM DURING THE EARLY AFTERNOON...WILL SEE CIGS
FROM 3000 TO 4000 FT. VSBYS EXPECTED TO BE VFR EXCEPT IN STRONGEST
CELLS.

OVERNIGHT...WITH LACK OF MIXING AGAIN TODAY...EXPECT THAT STRATUS
WIL FORM OVER MUCH OF THE AREA PRODUCING WIDESPREAD CIGS BELOW 2000
FT AND AREAS OF LIGHT FOG. THE STRATUS IS EXPECTED TO BE AROUND
THROUGH MUCH OF TUESDAY MORNING. /SCHUMACHER

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...
LINE OF CONVECTION CURRENTLY ONGOING FROM EASTERN NORTH DAKOTA
EXTENDING SOUTHWARD INTO NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA VERY EARLY THIS
MORNING...AND CONTINUING TO PUSH TO THE EAST. AS HAS BEEN THE TREND
FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS...ALMOST ALL MODELS CONTINUE TO BE
CLUELESS ON OVERALL PLACEMENT AND TIMING OF CONVECTION...WHICH LENDS
MUCH UNCERTAINTY TO FORECASTING FUTURE CONVECTION OVER THE NEXT FEW
DAYS. CONVECTION OVERNIGHT FORMED ALONG THE LOW LEVEL JET/LOW TO MID
LEVEL WARM AIR ADVECTION/INSTABILITY AXIS...AND AS THIS FORCING
PULLS TO THE NORTH AND WEAKENS OVER OUR AREA THROUGH THE MORNING
HOURS...EXPECT THE CONVECTION TO FOLLOW SUIT...GENERALLY PULLING TO
THE NORTH AND DIMINISHING IN COVERAGE. ANTICIPATE THAT ONCE THIS
CONVECTION WINDS DOWN OVER OUR AREA WE WILL SEE A BREAK IN THE
ACTIVITY UNTIL THE AFTERNOON...AS LIFT/850 THETA E ADVECTION
INCREASES OUT AHEAD OF A MID LEVEL WAVE TRACKING OUT OF NEBRASKA IN
THE LATE AFTERNOON. WITH THIS...THINK THAT CONVECTION WILL DEVELOP
OVER NEBRASKA IN THE AFTERNOON ALONG THE NOSE OF THE LOW LEVEL JET
THEN PUSH INTO OUR SOUTH AND EAST DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. MUCAPE CAPE VALUES IN OUR SOUTH WILL BE 2000 J/KG PLUS
DURING THE AFTERNOON...WITH EFFECTIVE SHEAR OF AROUND 40 KTS...SO
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITH DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL WILL BE A
POSSIBILITY. WITH CLOUDS/POSSIBLE SHOWERS/SOUTHEASTERLY LOW LEVEL
FLOW...TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN BELOW NORMAL...RANGING FROM THE
LOWER 70S IN OUR NORTHEAST TO MID/UPPER 70S OVER THE JAMES RIVER
VALLEY THROUGH THE MISSOURI RIVER CORRIDOR.

THE MID LEVEL WAVE PULLS ACROSS OUR SOUTH AND EAST TONIGHT...KEEPING
A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER THAT AREA THROUGH THE
EVENING...THEN TAPERING OFF LATER AT NIGHT. LOWS WILL BE MILD...IN
THE UPPER 50S TO LOWER 60S.

THE MAIN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OVER THE WESTERN U.S. BEGINS TO PUSH TO
THE EAST ON TUESDAY...WITH A POSSIBLE CLOSED UPPER LEVEL LOW
TRACKING ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS ON TUESDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY ON
WEDNESDAY. STRONGEST DIV Q/UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE SWINGS ACROSS OUR
NORTH AND EAST LATE ON TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT...SO KEPT HIGHEST
POPS OVER THAT AREA DURING THAT TIME FRAME. SOME MODEL DIFFERENCES
WITH RESPECT TO PLACEMENT OF BEST DYNAMICS...AND RESULTANT QPF
FIELDS...BUT STILL APPEARS THAT SOME PLACES COULD GET HEAVY RAINFALL
DURING THE LATE TUESDAY/EARLY WEDNESDAY TIME FRAME. TEMPERATURES ON
TUESDAY WILL BE SIMILAR TO TODAYS...THOUGH MAYBE A SHADE COOLER
DEPENDENT ON RAINFALL...IN THE LOWER TO MID 70S. THE UPPER LEVEL LOW
WILL PULL OFF TO THE EAST LATER ON WEDNESDAY...WITH
SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY ENDING FROM WEST TO EAST. WITH THE
PASSAGE OF A SURFACE BOUNDARY AND ENHANCED MIXING ON A
NORTHWESTERLY LOW LEVEL FLOW AND DECREASING CLOUDS...IT WILL BE A
SLIGHTLY WARMER DAY...IN THE MID 70S TO NEAR 80.  /JM
