AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION FOR SOUTHEAST SD/SOUTHWEST MN/NORTHWEST IA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SIOUX FALLS SD
350 PM CDT SUN MAR 27 2011

.DISCUSSION...
WIDESPREAD STRATOCUMULUS HAS ONCE AGAIN DEVELOPED ACROSS THE FSD
FORECAST AREA THIS AFTERNOON. IT IS LIKELY A LOT OF THIS CUMULUS IS
HEATING BASED WITH COLD AIR ALOFT...AND WILL DISSIPATE NEAR SUNSET.
THAT SAID...MID LEVEL MOISTURE IS ABUNDANT SO CLOUDY CONDITIONS WILL
PREVAIL THIS EVENING IN OUR WESTERN ZONES...WITH PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES
EAST. ANOTHER SHORT WAVE BEGINS TO MOVE INTO THIS AREA LATER
TONIGHT...AND WILL LIKELY BEGIN TO GIVE SNOWFALL TO OUR WESTERN
ZONES ESPECIALLY AFTER MIDNIGHT. THROUGH 12Z...ACCUMULATIONS COULD
BE AROUND A HALF INCH AROUND THE CHAMBERLAIN AREA IN S CENTRAL SD.
ONCE AGAIN...A PERSISTENT SOUTHEAST FLOW OF AIR COUPLED WITH AT
LEAST SOME CLOUD COVER WILL KEEP MINIMUM TEMPERATURES FROM TOTALLY
TANKING...AND DID NOT NEED TO ALTER OUR CURRENT FORECAST LOWS MUCH
AT ALL.  /MJF

NORTHERN PART OF DOUBLE BARRELED UPPER SYSTEM SHOULD MOVE SLOWLY
EAST INTO FORECAST AREA MONDAY AND CONTINUE MOVING SLOWLY EAST
ACROSS AREA INTO TUESDAY AS STRONGER WAVE MOVES MORE QUICKLY EAST TO
THE SOUTH OF AREA. COMBINATION OF DYNAMICS AND MOISTURE AGAIN POINTS
TO A HIGHEST SOUTHWEST TO LOWEST NORTHEAST SNOWFALL TOTAL THROUGH
TUESDAY. BEST SNOWFALL INTENSITY ACTUALLY SEEMS DESTINED FOR MONDAY
IN OUR SOUTHWEST CORNER WITH THE INTENSITY SLACKENING OFF A BIT AS
THAT AREA OF BEST SUPPORT AND MOISTURE MOVES EAST ALONG THE MO
RIVER. JUST A CHANCE OF LIGHT SNOW IN SOUTHWEST MN. SNOW SHOULD
CONTINUE MONDAY NIGHT BEFORE DECREASING FROM THE WEST TUESDAY AND
TUESDAY EVENING. THOUGH WE HAVE A TOTAL ACCUMULATION OF 4 TO 5
INCHES OVER THE FAR SOUTHWEST CORNER IN GREGORY COUNTY...BEING
SPREAD OUT OVER 2 PLUS DAYS PRECLUDES NEED FOR AN ADVISORY FOR NOW.
WE WILL HAVE TO WATCH IN CASE SNOWFALL BECOMES MORE INTENSE THAN
EXPECTED LATE TONIGHT AND MONDAY.

AS SYSTEM MOVES OUT BY WEDNESDAY MORNING...DEVELOPING UPPER RIDGING
LOOKS TO BE DAMPENED SOMEWHAT BY UPSTREAM WAVES CLIMBING OVER AND
DAMPENING RIDGE. A WARMING TREND IS STILL IN ORDER BUT IT WILL TAKE
A LITTLE LONGER TO GATHER STEAM. FORECAST LOOKS GENERALLY DRY UNTIL
A THREAT OF SHOWERS WITH DECENT TROUGH APPROACHING BY SUNDAY. THERE
MAY BE A LIGHT THREAT OF SOME WARM FRONTAL LIGHT PRECIPITATION ABOUT
THURSDAY BUT THREAT SEEMS TOO WEAK AND TIMING UNCERTAIN TO ADD RIGHT
NOW.

TEMPERATURES OF COURSE WILL BE HELD IN THE 30S AT MOST FOR THE
DAYTIME AND COOL ONLY TO THE 20S TO 30 OR SO AT NIGHT THROUGH
TUESDAY NIGHT. THE WARMING TREND BEGINNING WEDNESDAY WILL TAKE UNTIL
FRIDAY TO GET HIGH TEMPERATURES INTO THE 50S OVER MUCH OF AREA. WENT
WITH GUIDANCE IDEA OF KEEPING THESE HIGHS THROUGH THE WEEKEND THOUGH
WITH STRENGTH OF RIDGING...SEEMS IT MAY GET STILL WARMER BY SUNDAY.

.AVIATION...
CONDITIONS WILL BE PRIMARILY VFR THROUGH 03Z THIS EVENING...AND SOME
OF THE CUMULUS CLOUDS CURRENTLY PREVALENT IN THE SIOUX FALLS
FORECAST AREA MAY EVAPORATE BY SUNSET. BEGINNING BETWEEN 03Z AND
06Z/28TH...ANOTHER SHORT WAVE WILL BEGIN EXERTING ITS INFLUENCE ON
THIS AREA...LOWERING CEILINGS TO THE MVFR CATEGORY IN OUR EXTREME
WESTERN ZONES. THEN AFTER 06Z...THE MVFR CEILINGS WILL MOVE EASTWARD
THROUGH MONDAY MORNING...MAINLY ENCOMPASSING ALL AREAS ALONG AND
EAST OF A KYKN TO KBKX LINE BY 18Z MONDAY. IN ADDITION...LIGHT SNOW
IS LIKELY IN OUR WESTERN ZONES LATE TONIGHT AND MONDAY MORNING
PRODUCING IFR VISIBILITIES. /MJF
