AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION FOR SOUTHEAST SD/SOUTHWEST MN/NORTHWEST IA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SIOUX FALLS SD
310 AM CDT SUN JUN 26 2011

.DISCUSSION...
SHORT WAVE MOVING ACROSS THE EASTERN DAKOTAS EARLY THIS MORNING WITH
BAND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. AREA IS WEAKENING AS IT
APPROACHES I29 BUT WILL NEED TO KEEP A 20 TO 30% CHANCE WITH THIS
FEATURE EARLY THIS MORNING ESPECIALLY W OF I29. CAN NOT RULE OUT A
FEW MORE THUNDERSTORMS AFTER MID MORNING AS MORE STORMS CONTINUE TO
FIRE UP ACROSS THE WESTERN DAKOTAS AND WESTERN NEBRASKA. THE OTHER
PROBLEM THIS MORNING IS THE WIDESPREAD STRATUS AND AREAS OF FOG EAST
OF I29. OVERALL A CLOUDY MORNING ACROSS THE CWA.

GETS MORE INTERSTING THIS AFTERNOON AND NIGHT AS MUCH STRONG SHORT
WAVE MOVES ACROSS THE DAKOTAS ALONG WITH ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT AND
ALSO WITH WARM FRONT OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS LIFTING A LITTLE
FURTHER NORTH. MUCH COLDER AIR ALOFT SPILLS IN FROM THE NORTHWEST
LATER IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING AND SHOULD DESTABILIZE THE
ATMOSPHERE. OF COURSE HOW MUCH DESTABILIZATION THAT TAKES PLACE FOR
SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE DEPENDENT ON IF WE CAN GET RID OF THE
WIDESPREAD STRATUS. SHOULD MIX OUT ENOUGH TO BREAK STRATUS UP TO
ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO CLIMB INTO THE 70S TO NEAR 80 THIS AFTERNOON.
SO AM EXPECTING THUNDERSTORMS TO BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD LATER IN THE
AFTERNOON TOWARDS THE JAMES VALLEY AND ALSO POSSIBLY ALONG THE
MISSOURI RIVER FROM YKN-SUX AS WARM FRONT LIFTS NORTH. THIS ACTIVITY
SHOULD ALL SPREAD EAST TONIGHT WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR LOCALLY HEAVY
RAINS. SEVERE THREAT IS ALSO EXPECTED LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING WITH THE THREAT OF LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS. POTENTIAL
ALSO EXISTS FOR A FEW TORNADOES IN THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING
MAINLY WEST OF I29 WHERE SHEAR IS BETTER.

FRONT SHOULD PROGRESS FAIRLY QUICKLY ACROSS THE CWA DURING THE NIGHT
SO STORMS SHOULD TAPER OFF FAIRLY QUICKLY ACROSS THE WESTERN CWA
AFTER 03Z AND EASTERN CWA AFTER 06Z. HARD TO PINPOINT WHERE THE
HEAVIEST RAIN WILL OCCUR...BUT WITH PLENTY OF LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE...COULD SEE HEAVY RAIN WITH ANY SOTRMS THAT DEVELOP...SO
WILL MENTION POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAIN ACROSS THE ENTIRE CWA.

ANY LINGERING SHOWERS ACROSS FAR EASTERN CWA SHOULD END EARLY MONDAY
MORNING...WITH LESS HUMID AIR AND SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPERATURES. WEAK
SECONDARY WAVE DROPS THROUGH MINNESOTA AND COULD PRODUCE AN ISOLATED
SHOWER IN THER AFTERNOON THERE...BUT WILL LEAVE DRY FOR NOW.

TUESDAY LOOKS DRY AND PLEASANT AS SURFACE HIGH PUSHES EAST ACROSS
THE CWA. BUILDING HEIGHTS TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY WILL LIFT WEAK
MID LEVEL BOUNDARY ACROSS CWA AND PROBABLY WILL SEE A FEW ACCAS
SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS AND WILL KEEP THE 20% CHANCE IN FORECAST.
HOT AND HUMID ACROSS THE CWA ON THURSDAY WITH DEPOINTS IN THE 70S
AND HIGHS TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 80S TO MID 90S.

MODELS CONTINUE TO PUSH COLD FRONT THROUGH CWA THURSDAY NIGHT...BUT
OUT RACES COOLER AIR ALOFT...SO ALONG FRONT MAY REMAINED CAPPED. IF
THIS OCCURS...FRONT WOULD GO THROUGH DRY. FOR NOW DUE TO THE
UNCERTAINTY WILL KEEP THE CHANCE OF STORMS IN THE FORECAST.

&&

.AVIATION...
WIDESPREAD IFR AS STRATUS DECK SPREADS FROM EAST TO WEST ACROSS THE
AREA THIS MORNING. MOIST SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW WILL HOLD STRATUS IN
PLACE TODAY...ALTHOUGH CIGS SHOULD BEGIN TO IMPROVE TO MVFR BY LATE
THIS MORNING AS DAYTIME HEATING LIFTS THE BOUNDARY LAYER AND DEEPER
MIXING ENSUES. THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD CONTINUE TO DECREASE IN COVERAGE
AND INTENSITY THE REST EARLY THIS MORNING WITH ONLY MINIMAL CHANCES
FOR THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH LATE AFTERNOON. COLD FRONT WILL MOVE
ACROSS THE AREA THIS EVENING WHICH WILL CLEAR OUT THE STRATUS DECK
FROM WEST TO EAST BUT WILL ALSO PRODUCE THUNDERSTORMS. SOME
THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO BE SEVERE...PRODUCING SEVERE WIND
GUSTS AND HAIL AS LARGE AS GOLF BALLS. THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOSTLY BE
EAST OF THE FORECAST AREA COME SUNRISE MONDAY.
