AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION FOR SOUTHEAST SD/SOUTHWEST MN/NORTHWEST IA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SIOUX FALLS SD
939 PM CDT THU JUN 30 2011

.DISCUSSION...
VERY IMPRESSIVE UPPER WAVE PUSHING ACROSS NORTHWESTERN COLORADO AT
MID EVENING...AND WILL CONTINUE TO FOCUS THE OVERNIGHT CONVECTIVE
THREAT ACROSS THE AREA. HIGH PLAINS ORIGIN TO A NOW ORGANIZED BOW
ECHO MOVING FROM NEBRASKA INTO SOUTH CENTRAL SOUTH DAKOTA. DEEP
LAYER SHEAR CONDUCIVE TO STORM ORGANIZATION AND SOME INDICATION OF
CONTINUED DAMAGING WIND THREAT FOR OUTFLOW DOMINATED STORMS MOVING
THROUGH WESTERN AREAS FROM LATE EVENING UNTIL EARLY IN OVERNIGHT...
AND ADDED IN MENTION TO THE AREAS W OF THE JAMES VALLEY. PLENTY OF
ELEVATED INSTABILITY WITH NEARLY DRY ADIABATIC LAYER BETWEEN 750-500
HPA...BUT HORRIDLY CAPPED TO EVEN A MIXED LAYER DEVELOPMENT AHEAD OF
BOUNDARY. FOR NOW...MOST...IF NOT ALL ACTION SHOULD BE RELEGATED TO
A POSTFRONTAL LIFE...AND INCREASED POPS WEST OF THE JAMES
VALLEY...AND ONLY NUDGED A SMALL CHANCE A BIT EASTWARD AS OUTFLOW
DOMINATED STORMS MAY HELP TO FOCUS SOME DEVELOPMENT ON THE PERIPHERY
OF THE COOL POOL.

CHANGES ARE LESS SIGNFICANT FARTHER SOUTHEAST...AS WARM AIR ALOFT
SHOULD KEEP PRECIPITATION FROM SPREADING IN...ALONG WITH THE WAVE
LIFTING NORTHWEST OF THE AREA. DID RAISE LOWS BY A FEW DEGREES ACROSS
MUCH OF NORTHWEST IOWA WITH CONTINUED INFLUENCE OF THE HIGH DEWPOINT
AIR AND SOME EXPECTED RECOUPLING OF LOW LEVEL GRADIENT LATER INTO
NIGHT. LOWERED LOWS BY A FEW DEGREES WEST TO ACCOUNT FOR IMPACT OF
THE COLD POOL WITH STORMS. /CHAPMAN

&&

.AVIATION...
VFR THROUGH 0Z SATURDAY BUT AN INCREASING THREAT FOR THUNDERSTORMS
FROM WEST TO EAST. A FEW THUNDERSTORMS ALONG AND WEST OF THE JAMES
RIVER MAY SEE SOME WIND GUSTS OF 40 TO 50 KNOTS FROM ABOUT 3Z
THROUGH 6Z WHILE ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE
POSSIBLE EAST OF THE JAMES RIVER...AND MAINLY WEST OF INTERSTATE 29
THROUGH EARLY FRIDAY MORNING. ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS
WILL AGAIN BE POSSIBLE MAINLY ALONG AND NORTH OF INTERSTATE 90 ON
FRIDAY AFTERNOON.  /08

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...
HEAT ADVISORY IS MARGINAL MOST PLACES BUT WILL CONTINUE TO RUN UNTIL
EXPIRATION AS IT IS STILL HOT AND HUMID. MID AND HIGH CLOUDS OVER
EASTERN CWA SHOULD DISSIPATE AND EXIT REGION BY 00Z SO EVENING
SHOULD BE CLEAR WITH AN INCREASE IN CLOUDS ACROSS WESTERN CWA MAINLY
AFTER MIDNIGHT...AS COLD FRONT MOVES INTO THAT AREA. ANY THREAT FOR
STORMS WILL BE BEHIND FRONT AS AIRMASS IS CAPPED OFF TO THE EAST. SO
WILL KEEP CHANCE OF STORMS MAINLY AFTER MIDNIGHT WEST OF A TYNDALL
BROOKINGS LINE. IF STORMS CAN DEVELOP OR MOVE INTO THAT AREA...THERE
IS A MARGINAL THREAT OF SEVERE STORMS WITH HAIL AND WIND THE THREAT.
ANOTHER WARM NIGHT ACROSS THE CWA BUT COULD BE A DEGREE OR TWO
COOLER THAN LAST NIGHT WITH LIGHTER WINDS EXPECTED.

FRONTAL BOUNDARY PUSHES ACROSS THE AREA ON FRIDAY AS A MID/UPPER
LEVEL WAVE TRACK THROUGH THE REGION. WHILE THE AREA WILL BE CAPPED
EARLY IN THE DAY...ESPECIALLY EAST...TEMPERATURES WILL GRADUALLY
COOL ALOFT WITH THE APPROACH OF THE SHORTWAVE. THERE ARE MODEL
DIFFERENCES WITH RESPECT TO TRACK OF THE SHORTWAVE...WITH THE
GFS/ECMWF KEEP THE BETTER UPPER LEVEL DYNAMICS TO OUR NORTH AND
WEST...WHILE THE NAM OFFERS A SLIGHTLY MORE SOUTHWARD SCENARIO WITH
THE TRACK OF THE WAVE. KEPT WITH THE MORE NORTHWARD SOLUTION...WITH
HIGHER POPS OVER THAT AREA. ML CAPE AND SHEAR VALUES WILL BE
SUPPORTIVE OF SEVERE STORMS IF THEY DO DEVELOP. OUR EASTERN AREAS
WILL HAVE THE BEST POTENTIAL TO FULLY HEAT OUT...WITH HIGHS AROUND
90...WHILE READINGS WILL BE CLOSER TO 80 IN OUR FAR WEST WITH MORE
CLOUDS AND SHOWERS EARLY ON.

FRONT WILL CLEAR OUR EAST BY FRIDAY EVENING AS A SURFACE HIGH BEGINS
TO BUILD INTO THE REGION. WITH CLEARING SKIES AND VERY LIGHT
NORTHWESTERLY WINDS...WILL BE A COOLER NIGHT THAN RECENT DAYS...WITH
LOWS GENERALLY IN THE LOWER 60S. THE HIGH PRESSURE SLIDES ACROSS THE
REGION ON SATURDAY...PROVIDING MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES AND LIGHT WINDS
WITH HIGHS NEAR NORMAL...IN THE LOWER TO MID 80S.

MODELS STILL INDICATING CONVECTION DEVELOPING ON SATURDAY
NIGHT...WITH THE PASSAGE OF A WEAK WAVE AND INCREASING MOISTURE
TRANSPORT INTO THE AREA AS A 30 TO 35 KT LOW LEVEL JET DEVELOPS
THROUGH CENTRAL NEBRASKA/SOUTH DAKOTA OVERNIGHT. EXCEPT FOR THE
GFS...MODELS ARE TRENDING FARTHER SOUTHWARD WITH THE BETTER
DYNAMICS...SO FOLLOWED SUIT AND PLACED BETTER POPS IN OUR SOUTH.
AGAIN...CONVECTIVE PARAMETERS ARE SUFFICIENT FOR A FEW SEVERE
STORMS...ESPECIALLY THROUGH THE LOWER MISSOURI RIVER CORRIDOR. COULD
SEE SOME OF THE CONVECTION LINGER INTO SUNDAY MORNING...WITH HIGHS
ON SUNDAY REMAINING IN THE 80S.

IN THE EXTENDED...UPPER LEVEL RIDGING BUILDS INTO THE REGION ON
MONDAY...WITH VERY WARM AND DRY WEATHER EXPECTED. MAY BE THE WARMEST
DAY OF NEXT WEEK...WITH HIGHS IN THE LOWER 90S THROUGH THE MISSOURI
RIVER CORRIDOR. ANOTHER FRONTAL BOUNDARY LOOKS TO COME THROUGH THE
AREA SOMETIME IN THE TUESDAY TIME FRAME...BRINGING A CHANCE OF
THUNDERSTORMS...FOLLOWED BY COOLER TEMPERATURES FOR WEDNESDAY AND
THURSDAY.  /JM
