AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION FOR SOUTHEAST SD/SOUTHWEST MN/NORTHWEST IA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SIOUX FALLS SD
420 PM CDT WED JUN 1 2011

.DISCUSSION...
SOLATED VERY LIGHT SHOWERS SHOULD DISSIPATE DURING THE LATE
AFTERNOON HOURS ACROSS SOUTHEASTERN SOUTH DAKOTA...LEAVING BEHIND
MOSTLY CLOUDY TO OVERCAST SKIES THROUGHOUT MUCH OF THE AREA.
TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN NEARLY STEADY THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS
WITH HIGHER DEWPOINTS ADVECTING CONTINUOUSLY THROUGH THE REGION. FOR
TONIGHT...CURRENTLY NOT EXPECTING CONVECTIVE INITIATION TO OCCUR
UNTIL THE WARM FRONT GETS APPROXIMATELY HALFWAY THROUGH THE FORECAST
AREA...MOST LIKELY AFTER 06Z WHEN THE LOW LEVEL JET BEGINS TO
INCREASE. FOR NOW...HAVE CONCENTRATED THE HIGHEST POPS MAINLY SOUTH
AND EAST OF MITCHELL...AS IT SEEMS INITIATION WILL OCCUR IN FAR
SOUTHEAST SOUTH DAKOTA AND ANY NORTHWARD DEVELOPMENT WILL OCCUR
AFTER THE BOUNDARY HAS PROGRESSED FURTHER EAST. /LAFLIN

PRECIPITATION SHOULD BE FAIRLY WIDESPREAD EARLY IN THE DAY HEADING
EAST OF INTERSTATE 29 WHERE LOW TO MID LEVEL CONVERGENCE CONTINUES
EARLY IN THE DAY. MAIN STORY FOR THE DAY WILL BE THE WIND...WHICH
WILL INCREASE TO NEAR ADVISORY LEVELS AS THE PRECIPITATION/CLOUDS
MOVE OUT AND GET SOME MIXING TO 900-875 HPA. SOME FAIRLY STOUT
SURFACE BASED INSTABILITY DEVELOPS...BUT CAPPED ENVIRONMENT BEHIND
THE MORNING LOW LEVEL JET WITH MID LEVEL TEMPERATURES 12-15C
SPREADING ACROSS THE AREA.  THIS WILL ALLOW SOME STRONG WARMING AND
HUMIDITY BUILDUP DURING THE DAY WITH MID 80S EAST TO LOWER 90S WEST
THROUGH MISSOURI VALLEY.

CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT WILL HAVE TO BE OUTSIDE THE AREA ON THURSDAY
EVENING BACK THROUGH NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA ALONG THE DRY LINE AND
INTO CENTRAL SOUTH DAKOTA GIVEN THE STRONG CAP AND LOCATION OF
BOUNDARY TO THE WEST DURING THE EVENING. SHEAR/INSTABILITY
PARAMETERS WOULD FAVOR RISK OF A SEVERE STORM WITH HAIL/WIND
WANDERING INTO THE NORTHWEST AREAS FROM CHAMBERLAIN TO HURON DURING
THE MID TO LATE EVENING. UNFORTUNATELY FOR THE SAKE OF CONVECTION...
THE DYNAMICS WITH THE WAVE RIDING THE RIDGE DOES REALLY PEEL OFF TO
THE NORTH QUICKLY TOMORROW NIGHT...SO NOT ONLY THE PUSH TO THE
CONVECTION BUT THE FORCING WILL KEEP ACTIVITY FROM HEADING TOO FAR
EAST...WITH THE ONLY POSSIBLE EXCEPTION BEING ANY LINEAR STRUCTURES
WHICH MAY DRAPE THROUGH THE FAR NORTH...WHERE KEPT THE ONLY CHANCE
LEVEL POPS AT THIS TIME.

FOR FRIDAY...FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH SLOWLY
EASTWARD...ABANDONED BY UPPER SUPPORT AND Q VECTORS FAVORING A
SLOWER PROGRESSION. BEHIND BOUNDARY...SOME VERY DRY AIR WITH MIXING
ACTUALLY TAKING DEWPOINTS TOWARD THE MID 30S TO LOWER 40S IN THE
WEST BASED ON MIXING. HARD TO CONVINCE TO GO THAT LOW...SO WENT
ABOUT 5-7F HIGHER...SUPPORTED BY THE MOIST GROUND AS WELL.

AS FRIDAY NIGHT GOES ON...BOUNDARY MAY SLOW A BIT WITH INTERACTION
OF STRONG RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION. STRONG DIV Q...STRONG GRADIENT IN
ELEVATED INSTABILITY...AND GOOD MID LEVEL CROSS FRONTAL FLOW SHOULD
ALLOW SHRA/TSRA TO DEVELOP...BUT WILL BE LIMITED ON NORTHERN EDGE BY
LOWER LEVEL DRY TRAJECTORY. INCREASED POPS TO HIGH CHANCE FOR THE
MOMENT...BUT DYNAMICS ARE MUCH MORE SUPPORTIVE OF CATEGORICAL IN THE
FAR S.  WAVE MOVES BY QUICKLY SATURDAY MORNING...SO KEPT SOME
BOOSTED POPS EARLY IN THE DAY...THEN ALLOWED A QUICK NORTH TO SOUTH
EROSION. DRIER AIR PUSHING IN ON W/NW FLOW SHOULD MAKE FOR A GOOD
MIXING BASED DAY...WITH MEAN OF SOLUTION RESIDING MAINLY IN THE MID
TO UPPER 70S.

DURING THE EXTENDED RANGE /SAT NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/ LARGE SCALE
CONSENSUS OF A FAIRLY RIDGY PATTERN THROUGH THE CENTRAL U.S...WITH
DIFFERENCES ARISING IN TIMING OF SYSTEMS MOVING THROUGH AND THE
AMPLITUDE OF THE RIDGE.  FOR THE TIME...SIDED CLOSELY TOWARD LARGE
SCALE PICTURE FROM HPC FAVORING ENSEMBLE MEAN IDEAS TOWARD THE MID
TO LATE RANGE.  SATURDAY NIGHT...BOUNDARY DRIVEN WELL SOUTHWARD BY
WAVE...WITH COOLER PUSH CENTERED OVER AREA MOVING SLOWLY EAST
THROUGH SUNDAY. BOUNDARY LOCATION...ESPECIALLY THE 925-850 HPA
BOUNDARY...IS REALLY CRITICAL TO THE LOCATION OF THE CONVECTIVE
CHANCES FOR THIS FORECAST...WITH OVERALL HEIGHTS AND TEMPERATURES
ALOFT REALLY NOT WARM ENOUGH TO LIMIT DEVELOPMENT.

RETURN FLOW LOOKS TO FINALLY STRENGTHEN ENOUGH WITH BOUNDARY LIFTING
NORTHWARD TO GET SOME DECENT LOWER TO MID LEVEL THETA-E ADVECTION
GOING ON SUNDAY NIGHT. ENOUGH ELEVATED INSTABILITY THAT MAY GET
ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS OVERNIGHT. THIS THUNDER THREAT MAY CONTINUE
INTO EARLY MONDAY IN THE NORTHEAST PARTS OF THE AREA BEFORE
WEAKENING/VEERING LOW LEVEL JET. SURFACE WARM FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO
LIFT NORTHWARD MONDAY AS NEXT WAVE MOVES OVER RIDGE. BOUNDARY MAY
NOT MAKE IT ALL THE WAY NORTHWARD THROUGH THE AREA...AND WILL
PROVIDE FOCUS AGAIN FOR DEVELOPMENT GENERALLY MONDAY NIGHT WITH
SLIGHTLY BETTER CHANCES NORTH OF THE BOUNDARY THAN SOUTH.
FOR THE TIME...LOOKS LIKE THE BEST THREAT FOR PRECIPITATION MAY COME
BY LATER TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY AS MEAN RIDGE POSITION SHIFTS EAST...
AND GET RENEWED PUSH OF WARM AIR ADVECTION WITH BOUNDARY LAYING OUT
THROUGH OR NEARBY THE AREA. TEMPERATURES STRONGLY PRECIPIATION
DEPENDENT...AND COULD BE VERY WARM APPROACHING 90 SOUTH OF THE
BOUNDARY. /CHAPMAN

&&

.AVIATION...
CEILINGS IN THE 8 TO 10 KFT RANGE WILL CONTINUE TO SHIFT EASTWARD
ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH THIS EVENING...WITH A FEW SCATTERED VERY
LIGHT SHOWERS POSSIBLE MAINLY IN THE KFSD AREA BEFORE 21Z. A WARM
FRONT WILL LIFT THROUGH THE REGION OVERNIGHT...WHICH MAY PROMOTE
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT AFTER 06Z IN THE KFSD AND KHON
AREA. CEILINGS WILL LOWER BUT SHOULD REMAIN IN THE VFR CATEGORY...
HOWEVER VISIBILITIES MAY BRIEFLY DROP TO MVFR DURING PERIODS OF
RAIN. /LAFLIN
