Area forecast discussion, Apr 18, 3:30 PM CDT, 5 hours 52 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION FOR SOUTHEAST SD/SOUTHWEST MN/NORTHWEST IA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SIOUX FALLS SD
330 PM CDT MON APR 18 2011

.DISCUSSION...
AREA OF PRECIPITATION IS BEGINNING TO LIFT OUT OF NEBRASKA AS
EXPECTED...WITH MIDLEVEL WARM AIR ADVECTION/ISENTROPIC LIFT
OVERSPREADING THE REGION AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING SHORTWAVE.
ANTICIPATE THIS PRECIPITATION TO EXPAND TO THE NORTH AND EAST
THROUGH THE EVENING. HIGHEST POPS/QPF WILL BE ACROSS THE SOUTHERN
PORTIONS OF THE COUNTY WARNING AREA OVERNIGHT...WHERE BEST LOW LEVEL
FORCING WILL EXIST IN CONJUNCTION WITH STRONG UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE
VIA THE UPPER LEVEL JET AND MIDLEVEL FRONTOGENESIS WHICH WILL
DEVELOP OVER OUR SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE NIGHT. PRECIPITATION TYPE IS
VERY TRICKY TONIGHT...WITH THERMAL PROFILES INDICATING MUCH OF THE
ATMOSPHERIC COLUMN BELOW 0 DEGREES C...WITH THE ABOVE FREEZING
LAYER EXISTING BELOW 875 MB. IN LIGHT OF THAT...PRECIPITATION TYPE
COMES DOWN TO NEAR SURFACE TEMPERATURES AND ELEVATION. LATE THIS
AFTERNOON...SURFACE TEMPERATURES AROUND THE AREA ARE AROUND 40 IN
OUR NORTH AND FAR WEST...TO THE LOWER AND MID 40S THROUGH THE
REMAINDER OF THE CWA. WITH EXPECTATION THAT MOST AREAS WILL FALL
INTO THE LOWER TO MID 30S...WOULD ANTICIPATE A RAIN SNOW MIX OVER
THE MAJORITY OF THE AREA LATER TONIGHT...WITH PLAIN SNOW OVER OUR
NORTH AND FAR WEST. HAVE VERY FEW LOCALES ACTUALLY DROPPING BELOW
FREEZING TONIGHT...THOUGH CANNOT RULE OUT THE POSSIBILITY THROUGH
THE CHAMBERLAIN AREA AND THROUGH THE HURON TO BROOKINGS CORRIDOR.
THIS...ALONG WITH SNOWFALL RATES...WILL DETERMINE HOW MUCH SNOW WILL
ACCUMULATE OVERNIGHT. AT THIS POINT...HAVE AROUND 2 INCHES OF
ACCUMULATION IN OUR CENTRAL SOUTH DAKOTA ZONES...TO AROUND AND INCH
THROUGH THE NORTHERN JAMES RIVER VALLEY TO THE BROOKINGS AREA. /JM

FOR TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...THE MAIN TROUGH DIGS INTO THE
GREAT PLAINS WHILE THE SURFACE TRACKS INTO THE GREAT LAKES.
WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION WILL PERSIST ON TUESDAY THEN GRADUALLY
START TAPERING OFF IN THE WEST ON TUESDAY NIGHT. THE BEST ISENTROPIC
LIFT WILL REMAIN PRIMARILY SOUTH OF I90 WHERE THE HEAVIEST
PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO FALL. TEMPERATURES AND THEREFORE
PRECIPITATION TYPE WILL REMAIN THE GREATEST CHALLENGE TUESDAY.
TEMPERATURES SHOULD REMAIN FAIRLY STEADY IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE
30S...AND WITH SUCH A SHALLOW ABOVE FREEZING TEMPERATURE
LAYER...EXPECT PRECIPITATION TYPE TO BE BOTH RAIN AND SNOW WITH THE
LIKELIHOOD OF RAIN DECREASING THROUGH THE DAY.  BY TUESDAY
NIGHT...COOLER AIR BEGINS WORKING INTO THE AREA WHICH WILL ALLOW FOR
THE TRANSITION TO SNOW. BY THIS POINT...THE GREATEST LIFT EXITS THE
AREA AS THE SURFACE LOW MOVES WELL EAST OF THE REGION INTO THE GREAT
LAKES. SCATTERED LIGHT SNOW WILL LINGER MAINLY ACROSS SOUTHWEST
MINNESOTA ON WEDNESDAY FOLLOWED BY THE ARRIVAL OF HIGH PRESSURE AND
DRYING ON WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. STORM TOTAL SNOW ACCUMULATION WILL BE
HIGHEST FROM BROOKINGS EASTWARD INTO SOUTHWEST MINNESOTA AND THE FAR
WESTERN FORECAST AREA WITH 4 OR 5 INCHES WHILE VERY LITTLE
ACCUMULATION IS EXPECTED SOUTH OF I90 AND EAST OF I29.  HOWEVER...
GIVEN EXPECTED QPF AMOUNTS OF NEAR AN INCH FOR MANY PLACES...IF
SURFACE TEMPERATURES COOL EVEN A FEW DEGREES...SNOWFALL AMOUNTS
COULD BE MUCH HIGHER. FOR NOW WILL NOT ISSUE AN ADVISORY DUE TO THE
MULTI-DAY TIME FRAME AND THE LIKELIHOOD THAT SNOW ACCUMULATION WILL
MELT AS THE PRECIPITATION TYPE SWITCHES BETWEEN SNOW AND RAIN.

A BRIEF BREAK IN THE WEATHER ARRIVES FOR WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND EARLY
THURSDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE SINKS INTO THE PLAINS BETWEEN STORM
SYSTEMS.  UNSTABLE WEATHER RETURNS TO THE AREA BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON
AS ANOTHER TROUGH EMERGES FROM THE ROCKIES INTO THE SOUTHERN PLAINS
ON THURSDAY NIGHT LIGHT RAIN WILL SPREAD EAST AND BECOME SCATTERED
THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA FRIDAY.  MODELS ARE TRENDING TOWARDS A
SLOWER AND MORE SOUTHERLY SOLUTION WITH THIS SYSTEM...WHICH LEAVES
TAKES THE BEST INSTABILITY SOUTH OF OUR CWA. TEMPERATURES ARE ALSO
TRENDING SLIGHTLY COOLER...BUT FAR ENOUGH ABOVE FREEZING TO INDICATE
THAT RAIN WILL BE THE MAIN THREAT.  ANOTHER BRIEF BREAK IN ACTIVITY
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...AS WELL TEMPERATURES RECOVERING BACK TO NEAR
NORMALS.

&&

.AVIATION...
EXPECTING MVFR AND IFR CEILINGS OVER THE JAMES RIVER VALLEY AND
THROUGH THE MISSOURI RIVER CORRIDOR TO LOWER THROUGH THE EVENING AS
RAIN AND SNOW OVERSPREAD THE AREA FROM THE SOUTH. A DRIER
NORTHEASTERLY FLOW WILL KEEP SOUTHWESTERN MINNESOTA AND PORTIONS OF
NORTHWESTERN IOWA WITH VFR CEILINGS FOR THE EARLY PART OF THE
EVENING...THOSE THESE MAY LOWER LATER AT NIGHT AS PRECIPITATION
SPREAD INTO THAT AREA. WHILE VFR VISIBILITIES WILL BE THE RULE
THROUGH THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING...THEY WILL LOWER WITH THE
ONSET OF ANY PRECIPITATION.

&&

.FSD WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
SD...NONE.
MN...NONE.
IA...NONE.
NE...NONE.
