AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ABERDEEN SD
409 AM CDT SAT MAY 5 2012

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH MONDAY
NEXT SHORTWAVE APPROACHING FROM THE WEST WITH SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS EXPANDING ACROSS WESTERN SOUTH DAKOTA AND INTO
CENTRAL SOUTH DAKOTA. GOOD AMOUNT OF ELEVATED INSTABILITY AND SOME
OF THESE STORMS COULD BECOME STRONG TO SEVERE. A GOOD AMOUNT OF
SHEAR TO WORK WITH AS WELL. SVR WATCH 246 WAS ISSUED A SHORT TIME
AGO OVER PORTIONS OF CENTRAL AND WESTERN SOUTH DAKOTA TO ACCOUNT
FOR POSSIBILITY OF LARGE HAIL WITHIN THESE STORMS. AS THE MORNING
PROGRESSES...THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL SHIFT EASTWARD ACROSS THE
CWA SO HAVE PRETTY HIGH CHANCES FOR PRECIP IN THE FORECAST. THERE
STILL REMAINS SOME UNCERTAINTY IN BEST POTENTIAL FOR SVR STORMS
LATER TODAY...BUT WITH THE SFC WARM FRONT SOUTH OF THE CWA...FEEL
BIGGEST THREAT FOR SIGNIFICANT SEVERE ACTIVITY WILL BE ACROSS FSD
CWA AND NEAR THE NEBRASKA BORDER. CANNOT RULE OUT SOME STRONG TO
SEVERE STORMS A BIT FARTHER NORTH THOUGH INTO OUR CWA...BUT THREAT
IS NOT AS GREAT. COLD FRONT MOVES EAST ACROSS THE REGION OVERNIGHT
PROVIDING A CONTINUED FOCUS FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS. THIS SYSTEM
EVENTUALLY EXITS THE AREA ON SUNDAY WITH DRIER AIR AND NORTHWEST
WINDS MOVING IN BEHIND THE FRONT. ON MONDAY...CLOSED UPPER LOW
MOVES EAST ACROSS FAR SOUTHERN CANADA. WITH COLD TEMPS ALOFT AND
CYCLONIC FLOW ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS...HAVE ADDED SLIGHT
CHANCE POPS FOR LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS DURING THE AFTERNOON PEAK
HEATING PERIOD.

.LONG TERM...MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT
SURFACE LOW MOVING SLOWLY EWD THROUGH THE BOUNDARY WATERS/MN-
ONTARIO BORDER AREA WILL KEEP A COOL...MAINLY DRY...NWLY LOW LEVEL
FLOW OVER THE REGION MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING. THE
CENTER OF SFC HIGH PRESSURE IS THEN PROGGED TO SETTLE IN LATE-DAY
TUESDAY AND REMAINS IN PLACE THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING. MODELS
REMAIN IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH A MODERATE RETURN S-SELY FLOW
SETTING UP OVER THE NRN PLAINS WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON...CONTINUING
THROUGH THE DAY THURSDAY AS A SFC COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE
NORTHWEST. MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT THAT QUITE THE VIGOROUS
FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL PUSH FROM NW TO SE THROUGH THE REGION
THURSDAY NIGHT/FRIDAY MORNING. BOTH GFS AND ECMWF HAVE SLOWED THE
TIMING OF THE FRONT BY ABOUT SIX HOURS AND ARE FARTHER NORTH WITH
THE ASSOCIATED UPPER LEVEL SHORT-WAVE TROUGH AND ITS ASSOCIATED
ATMOSPHERIC LIFT...SO CONFIDENCE IS LOW IN SENSIBLE WEATHER
IMPACTS THURSDAY NIGHT/FRIDAY.

.AVIATION...
06Z TAFS FOR THE KABR...KATY...KPIR AND KMBG TERMINALS

AN AREA OF IFR/MVFR CIGS WILL REMAIN OVER THE EASTERN AND
SOUTHWESTERN CWA OVERNIGHT...WITH VFR CONDITIONS ACROSS THE
NORTHWEST. PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO SPREAD ACROSS THE AREA
FROM WEST TO EAST DURING THE LATE OVERNIGHT HOURS AND INTO THE DAY
SATURDAY. THUNDERSTORMS ARE ALSO POSSIBLE...WITH THE BEST CHANCE
EXPECTED TO OCCUR LATE SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND SATURDAY EVENING SOUTH
OF A LINE FROM PIERRE TO WATERTOWN.
