AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ABERDEEN SD
630 PM CDT TUE MAY 22 2012

.UPDATE...
A QUICK UPDATE FOR THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH. SEVERAL STORMS
HAVE FORMED ACROSS CENTRAL COUNTIES...SO EXTENDED SEVERE MENTION
TO COVER WATCH AREA. UPDATE TO AVIATION DISCUSSION BELOW.

&&
.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT
CHANCE FOR SIGNIFICANT THUNDERSTORMS TONIGHT CONTINUES TO BE THE
MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGE. A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM CURRENTLY SITS OVER
THE WESTERN DAKOTAS. A WARM FRONT STRETCHES FROM WEST TO EAST
ACROSS CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA...WHILE A COLD FRONT WAS JUST ALONG
THE SOUTH DAKOTA/WYOMING BORDER...WITH A DRYLINE FEATURE ALONG THE
WESTERN CWA BORDER. INSTABILITY IS NOT LACKING AS TEMPERATURES HAVE
REACHED THE MID TO UPPER 80S ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA. DEWPOINTS
ALONG THE MISSOURI RIVER HAVE JUST REACHED 60 DEGREES...WHILE THE
REST OF THE AREA CONTINUES TO SEE DEWPOINTS IN THE 50S. LOOKING AT
0-6KM SHEAR VALUES OF 40+ KTS AND 0-1KM SHEAR VALUES NEAR 20 KTS
BY 00Z. SO...ATMOSPHERE IS DEFINITELY PRIMED FOR THE POTENTIAL FOR
SEVERE WEATHER. THE BIGGEST HINDRANCES LOOK TO BE HIGH LCL/S AND
MID LEVEL CAPPING. H7 TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO REACH +12 TO
+14 ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE CWA. GENERAL THINKING IS
THAT IT MAY BE TOUGH FOR STORMS TO GET GOING...BUT IF ANY STORMS
DO DEVELOP...THEY WILL LIKELY BECOME SEVERE. HOWEVER...THINKING
BEST CHANCES FOR THIS TO HAPPEN WILL BE ALONG THE NORTHERN PORTION
OF THE CWA THIS EVENING...AND ACROSS THE EAST TONIGHT. HAVE
FOCUSED HIGHER POPS AND SEVERE MENTION TO THOSE AREAS...THOUGH
THAT MAY NEED TO BE ADJUSTED SHOULD ANYTHING BE ABLE TO DEVELOP
FURTHER SOUTH.

PRECIPITATION CHANCES LOOK TO CONTINUE THROUGH MUCH OF THE SHORT
TERM PERIOD AS AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH PUSHES ENERGY ACROSS THE
NORTHERN PLAINS THROUGH THE END OF THE PERIOD. THE MODELS ARE IN
GOOD AGREEMENT THAT A LINE OF PRECIPITATION WILL DEVELOP FROM
MINNESOTA TO KANSAS WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT. SOME OF THIS
MAY CLIP THE SOUTHEASTERN CWA...BUT OTHERWISE SHOULD REMAIN OUT OF
THE CWA.

SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED ON
WEDNESDAY...THEN WILL SEE JUST A TOUCH OF A COOL DOWN ON THURSDAY
WITH MORE CLOUD COVER EXPECTED.

.LONG TERM...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY
MAIN ISSUE DURING THE LONG TERM WILL BE DETERMINING TRACK AND
SPEED OF THE SURFACE LOW EXPECTED TO MOVE NORTHEAST ACROSS THE
NORTHERN PLAINS THIS WEEKEND. STILL A PRETTY DECENT SHOT FOR
RAINFALL FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY NIGHT AS OVERRUNNING MOISTURE
SETS UP WITH THE SFC WARM FRONT SOUTH OF THE REGION. AS SFC LOW
GETS ORGANIZED SATURDAY NIGHT AND MOVES NORTHEAST THROUGH
SUNDAY...MOISTURE GETS PUSHED NORTHWARD AS THE WARM FRONT SURGES
NORTHWARD AS WELL. 12Z GFS COMING IN LINE WITH PRESENT AND EARLIER
EC RUNS IN SHOWING A QUICKER DEPARTURE TO OVERRUNNING PRECIP.
ALTHOUGH...AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE AREA MODELS ARE
SHOWING THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND
EVENING...MAINLY ACROSS THE FAR EASTERN/SOUTHEASTERN CWA AND
POINTS EAST. 12Z EC SLIGHTLY SLOWER WITH THE PROGRESSION OF THE
COLD FRONT AND THUS HAS CONVECTION DEVELOPING A BIT FURTHER WEST
INTO THE CWA. MANY DETAILS TO IRON OUT CONCERNING THIS SYSTEM BUT
IT DOES APPEAR RAINFALL WILL BE A FAIRLY GOOD BET FRIDAY NIGHT
THROUGH SATURDAY...WITH MORE UNCERTAINTY SUNDAY INTO MONDAY ON
PROGRESSION OF COLD FRONT AND EVENTUAL TRACK OF SURFACE LOW.

&&

.AVIATION...
00Z TAFS FOR THE KABR...KATY...KPIR AND KMBG TERMINALS

STRONG SOUTH WINDS THROUGH THE EVENING AND EARLY OVERNIGHT
HOURS...HOWEVER A WIND SHIFT BEHIND A COLD FRONT WILL COME IN FROM
THE WEST...FINALLY PASSING THROUGH KATY BY EARLY MORNING. THE
WINDS OUT OF THE NORTHWEST WILL BE SIGNIFICANTLY LIGHTER...HOWEVER
STILL BREEZY. VISBY/CIGS SHOULD BE VFR ALTHOUGH CANT RULE OUT
THUNDERSTORMS MOVING ACROSS THE TAF SITES OVERNIGHT.
