AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION FOR SOUTHEAST SD/SOUTHWEST MN/NORTHWEST IA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SIOUX FALLS SD
935 AM CDT MON JUN 27 2011

.DISCUSSION...
ONLY A FEW CLOUDS LEFT OVER OUR FAR EAST THIS MORNING...THOUGH
CONTINUING TO SCATTER OUT AND PUSH EASTWARD AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS INTO THE REGION. INSTABILITY SHOWERS STILL SEEM REASONABLE
FOR LATER THIS AFTERNOON OVER SOUTHWESTERN MINNESOTA. ONLY MINOR
EDITS NEEDED TO FRESHEN UP THE FORECAST...OTHERWISE FORECAST LOOKS
TO BE ON TRACK.  /JM

&&

.AVIATION...
VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY. WILL BE BREEZY
HOWEVER...WITH NORTHWESTERLY WINDS OF 15 TO 25 KTS.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS BOTH NORTH AND SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA
EARLY THIS MORNING. SRN CONVECTION TIED TO THE LOW LEVEL FRONT
ACROSS SRN NEBRASKA. NORTHERN CONVECTION RELATED TO THE SHORT WAVE
ROTATING ACROSS ERN ND. BETWEEN THESE TWO AREAS THERE IS LITTLE IN
THE WAY FOR CHANCES OF MEASURABLE PRECIPITATION THE REMAINDER OF
THIS MORNING. BUILDING HIGH PRESSURE AND DRY NW FLOW WILL MAKE IT
FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE TODAY WITH LOWER HUMIDITY AND HIGH
TEMPERATURES MOSTLY IN THE 70S...ALBEIT A BIT BREEZY. THERE IS A
SMALL CHANCE FOR CONVECTION OVER SW MINNESOTA LATE THIS AFTERNOON...
BUT THIS IS LARGELY DEPENDENT ON HOW FAR SOUTH A LOBE OF VORTICITY
WILL MAKE AS THE MODELS HAVE DIFFERENT IDEAS ON ITS LOCATION.
SOUNDINGS OVER SW MN DO SHOW LOW LEVEL INSTABILITY AND SOME MINIMAL
CAPE BELOW AN INVERSION NEAR 12 KFT...SUGGESTING SHORT SHOWERS AND
POSSIBLY A RUMBLE OR TWO OF THUNDER. FLEETING INSTABILITY AND LOSS
OF DYNAMICS WILL MAKE FOR RAPIDLY DECREASING CHANCE FOR SHOWERS OVER
SW MN BY THIS EVENING. HIGH PRESSURE AND CLEAR SKIES FOR TONIGHT
WITH LOWS IN THE 50S.

HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE EASTERN DKTS...MN...AND IA WILL YEILD ANOTHER
DRY DAY TUE. WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE SOUTH AROUND THE BACKSIDE OF
THE HIGH...STARTING THE WARMING TREND THAT WILL EXTEND INTO THE NEXT
FEW DAYS. THE WARMER TEMPERATURES WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY PLENTY OF
LOW LEVEL MOISTURE. SHOULD BEGIN TO FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE BY WED
AFTERNOON WITH HIGHS IN THE 80S TO LOWER 90S OUT WEST AND DEW POINTS
CREEPING INTO THE 60S. BY THU...EXPECTING TO SEE HIGHS IN THE 90S
ACROSS THE AREA WITH DEW POINTS NEAR 70 DEGREES...WHICH IN
COMBINATION WILL PUSH THE HEAT INDEX TO THE CENTURY MARK. THE ONLY
RELIEF WILL BE THE GUSTY SRLY WINDS.

CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS THIS WEEK GENERALLY ON THE LOW SIDE BUT
THERE WILL BE A FEW SHOTS HERE AND THERE. ELEVATED WARM FRONT COULD
SPARK ISOLATED CONVECTION TUE NIGHT INTO WED MORNING. ELEVATED LAPSE
RATES STEEP BUT NOT MUCH IN THE WAY FOR MOISTURE. ANOTHER SMALL
CHANCE FOR CONVECTION WED NIGHT AS THETAE ADVECTION CONTINUES EAST
OF INTERSTATE 29 WITH A LOW LEVEL JET IMPINGING ON NW IA AND SW MN.
COLD FRONT WILL BRING THE NEXT CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS THU EVENING
WITH THE MAIN CHANCES INTO THE WRN FORECAST AREA. WHETHER OR NOT
STORMS WILL FIRE WILL COME DOWN TO WHERE SOUTHWEST FLOW SHORT WAVE
TRACKS. MODELS GENERALLY TAKING THE WAVE JUST NORTH OF THE FORECAST
AREA...BUT SHOULD IT COME OUT ONLY A HUNDRED MILES FARTHER
SOUTH...COULD SEE A LOT OF THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY ALONG WITH SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS. FRONT WILL PUSH THROUGH THE AREA THU NIGHT AND SHOULD
STALL OUT OVER NW IA FRI. CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS LATE FRIDAY
AFTERNOON WILL BE ALONG THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY. STORMS ALONG THE
BOUNDARY COULD VERY WELL BE SEVERE. /97

.FSD WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
