Area forecast discussion, Jun 11, 3:50 AM CDT, 6 hours 9 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION FOR SOUTHEAST SD/SOUTHWEST MN/NORTHWEST IA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SIOUX FALLS SD
350 AM CDT SAT JUN 11 2011

.DISCUSSION...
A COUPLE OF CONCERNS IN THE NEAR TERM...THE FIRST OF WHICH IS FOG.
ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE DEPARTING UPPER TROUGH...LIGHT FOG AND
STRATUS STILL LINGER EAST OF I 29. HOWEVER AREAS RIGHT ALONG I 29
HAVE CLEARED OUT. DUE TO RADIATIONAL COOLING AND THE PROXIMITY TO
THE STRATUS IN SW MN AND NW IA...IT IS THE AREA RIGHT ALONG THE I 29
CORRIDOR WHICH IS OF MOST CONCERN FOR FOG/DENSE FOG DEVELOPMENT
EARLY TODAY. SURFACE DEW POINT DEPRESSIONS ARE VERY TIGHT AT THIS
TIME. SO THAT...COUPLED WITH LIGHT WINDS AND A HIGH DEGREE OF
SURFACE MOISTURE...CERTAINLY CANNOT RULE OUT THE THREAT OF FOG EARLY
THIS MORNING...SOME OF WHICH MAY BECOME LOCALLY DENSE...ESPECIALLY
IN THE LOWER BIG SIOUX RIVER VALLEY AND DOWN TO SIOUX CITY. FOG WILL
GET PATCHIER AS YOU HEAD WEST OF I 29...BUT WILL LIKELY BE FOUND
HERE AND THERE IN THE JAMES RIVER VALLEY AND AROUND WETLAND AREAS.
THE SECOND MORE MINOR CONCERN THIS MORNING IS ISOLATED LIGHT SHOWERS
IN SW MN. FOR NOW...THEY HAVE DISSIPATED. BUT THE RH TIME SECTIONS
ARE STOUT WITH MOISTURE BELOW 700MB AROUND MARSHALL AND WINDOM...SO
AM CONCERNED THAT A FEW LIGHT SHOWERS MAY REDEVELOP. WILL MONITOR
THAT AS FOR NOW...DO NOT HAVE ANY ISOLATED SHOWERS IN THE FORECAST.
OTHERWISE IT WILL BE A PLEASANT DAY OVERALL. WITH THE SURFACE RIDGE
PASSING JUST TO THE EAST...WINDS WILL BE LIGHT EAST OF THE JAMES
VALLEY. IT WILL BE SEASONABLY COOL...BUT NOT AS CHILLY AS THE LAST
FEW DAYS.

THEN BEGINNING TONIGHT...LONG WAVE TROUGHING REMAINS STUBBORNLY
ENTRENCHED IN THE WESTERN U.S. THE PATTERN GETS EXTREMELY WAVY LATE
THIS WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. UPPER QG FORCING SHOWS ONE
WAY AFTER ANOTHER ESPECIALLY IN THE SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY
NIGHT TIME FRAME. AT THIS POINT...IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO TIME
EXACTLY THE OFF AND ON RAIN CHANCES WHICH WILL OCCUR. HOWEVER THAT
SAID...IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE ANY BIG RAIN EVENTS FOR OUR FORECAST
AREA THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT WHICH WOULD EXASPERATE FLOODING. ONE SHORT
WAVE SITUATED OVER THE WESTERN PLAINS MAY KICK OUT SOME
THUNDERSTORMS FOR LOCATIONS WEST OF I 29 SATURDAY NIGHT...AS THE
RETURN FLOW AND WARM AIR ADVECTION IS STRONG IN OUR WESTERN ZONES.
FOR SUNDAY DAY PERIOD...QUITE FRANKLY THE MODELS ARE ALL OVER THE
MAP WITH CONVECTION CHANCES BOTH IN TIMING AND LOCATION. THEREFORE
CONFIDENCE IS LOW. THE ONLY THING TO HANG YOUR HAT ON...IS THERE
STILL APPEARS TO BE A FAIRLY POTENT SHORTWAVE WHICH EJECTS OUT OF
THE WESTERN PLAINS NORTHEASTWARD THROUGH CENTRAL SD. THAT WAVE MAY
SPARK SOME SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS FOR OUR NW ZONES LATE SUNDAY AND
SUNDAY EVENING...SOME OF WHICH MAY BE SEVERE. WITH 700MB
TEMPERATURES STILL LARGELY AT AND BELOW +10C...THINGS DO NOT LOOK
CAPPED AND WIND SHEAR IS ACTUALLY PRETTY DECENT ON SUNDAY WHICH
SHOULD BE ABLE TO SPARK A FEW THUNDERSTORMS ALMOST ANYWHERE. AND LOW
LEVEL THETAE ADVECTION IS VERY STRONG SUNDAY NIGHT.

AS MENTIONED ABOVE...CONTINUAL WEAK SHORT WAVES ARE A PROBLEM MONDAY
AND MONDAY NIGHT WITH THE MID LEVELS STILL NOT CAPPED OFF. IN
ADDITION LATE SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY...BOTH THE NAM AND GFS ARE
SHOWING A HIGH DEGREE OF MOISTURE AT AND BELOW 800MB EAST OF THE
JAMES RIVER. SO WITH THAT KIND OF MOISTURE AND NO CAPPING...IT WILL
NOT TAKE MUCH TO SPARK A FEW THUNDERSTORMS WITH COVERAGE NOT
WIDESPREAD AT ALL.

A LITTLE FURTHER OUT ON TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT...THE ECMWF IS
STILL IN ITS CAMP OF SHARPLY DIGGING AN UPPER TROUGH IN THE PLAINS
WHICH WOULD BRING A DECENT RAIN EVENT TO THIS AREA. THE GFS REMAINS
IN ITS CAMP OF CONTINUING MORE OF A ZONAL FLOW...WAVY SOLUTION...
WITH A DECENT SHORT WAVE TUESDAY NIGHT. IF THE ECWMF SOLUTION PANS
OUT...POPS WILL HAVE TO BE RAISED ON TUESDAY EVENTUALLY. BUT
CONFIDENCE CONTINUES TO BE QUITE LOW IN THESE PERIODS AS WELL.

CONCERNING TEMPERATURES...WITH NO UPPER RIDGING IN PLACE...HIGHS AND
LOWS STILL LOOK A TAD BELOW NORMAL MOST DAYS. THE ONE EXCEPTION IS
TUESDAY WHERE NORMAL HIGHS SHOULD OCCUR.

&&

.AVIATION...
MVFR TO IFR CEILINGS PERSISTING EAST OF INTERSTATE 29 EARLY THIS
MORNING...WITH VISIBILITIES LOWERING ACROSS THAT AREA WITH VERY
LIGHT WINDS AS A SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE AXIS MOVES INTO THE REGION.
CEILINGS BELOW 1500 FEET WILL REMAIN OVER MAINLY SOUTHWESTERN
MINNESOTA/NORTHWESTERN IOWA THROUGH 14Z...WITH IFR TO LIFR
VISIBILITIES...THEN CONDITIONS IMPROVING TO VFR FOR THE REMAINDER OF
THE DAY. TO THE WEST...PRIMARILY VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH THE
PERIOD...THOUGH WILL BE POSSIBLE TO HAVE LOCALIZED MVFR TO IFR
VISIBILITIES DURING THE MORNING FOR AREAS WEST OF INTERSTATE 29.

&&

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