AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ABERDEEN SD
1058 PM CDT WED JUN 13 2012

.UPDATE...
EXTENDED THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH EASTWARD. AS THE JET
INCREASES...WITH STEEP LAPSE RATES IN PLACE EXPECT SOME STORMS
WITH STRONG WINDS TO PROPAGATE EAST OVERNIGHT.

&&
.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING

MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGE WILL BE THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE STORMS
THIS EVENING AND INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.

WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS A SHORTWAVE OVER WESTERN MONTANA...MAKING
ITS WAY NORTHEAST INTO NORTH DAKOTA. SURFACE OBS ARE SHOWING
PRESSURE FALLS AHEAD OF THE SURFACE TROUGH WHICH IS CURRENTLY
SITUATED ACROSS EASTERN MONTANA AND WYOMING. THIS TROUGH/COLD
FRONT WILL MAKE ITS WAY EAST...ENTERING WESTERN SOUTH DAKOTA BY
00Z. DEWPOINTS ARE SLOW TO RESPOND THIS AFTERNOON...BUT MODELS
STILL INDICATE INCREASING MOISTURE AHEAD OF THE FRONT...ENOUGH TO
HELP DESTABILIZE THE ENVIRONMENT TONIGHT. NAM ML CAPE VALUES ARE
STILL PROGGED TO BE IN THE 1000-1500 J/KG RANGE...ALONG WITH MID
LEVEL LAPSE RATES RANGING FROM 7 TO 9 C/KM ACROSS THE REGION. THIS
INSTABILITY WILL COME TOGETHER WITH A STRONG 50 KT LLJ TO FOCUS
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT. THE MAIN THREATS WILL BE HAIL AND
WIND...WITH AN EMPHASIS ON THE WIND...SINCE MODEL 0-6 KM BULK
SHEAR VALUES WILL BE IN THE 50-60 KT RANGE AND 0-3 KM BULK SHEAR
IN THE 40-50 KT RANGE. A HIGH SHEAR...HIGH CAPE ENVIRONMENT WOULD
BE INDICATIVE OF A BOWING LINE OF STORMS...HOWEVER THE LIMITING
FACTOR TONIGHT MAY BE THE CAPE...WHICH IS ON THE WEAKER END.

BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON THE FRONT WILL BE EXITING THE CWA...WITH
PERHAPS A FEW LINGERING SHOWERS IN THE EAST. WEST TO NORTHWEST
WINDS WILL BE GUSTY ACROSS THE WESTERN CWA BEFORE HIGH PRESSURE MOVES
IN THURSDAY NIGHT.

ANOTHER SHORTWAVE WILL INFLUENCE THE REGION FRIDAY. MODEL TIMING
DIFFERENCES STILL EXIST WITH THIS SYSTEM...BUT IT LOOKS AS THOUGH
IT MAY BE ANOTHER NOCTURNAL SYSTEM.

.LONG TERM...SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY

A PROGRESSIVE MID LEVEL PATTERN LOOKS TO PERSIST THROUGH THE LONG
RANGE...BUT MODEL AGREEMENT ON THE TIMING OF WAVES/VORTS IS
MIDDLING AT BEST. THEREFORE TOOK MORE OF A GFS ENSEMBLE APPROACH
TO POPS/WX AND TRIED TO MINIMIZE MENTION WHERE THERE IS SOME
AGREEMENT ON DRY CONDITIONS BETWEEN THE GFS/ECMWF. THAT SAID MOST
PERIODS STILL HAVE AT LEAST A SLIGHT CHANCE MENTION DUE TO
FORECAST UNCERTAINTY. AS FOR TEMPERATURES THE MODEL BLEND LOOKED
FINE FOR THE MOST PART.

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

VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH TONIGHT. HOWEVER A COMPLEX OF
STORMS IS EXPECTED TO TRAVEL IN THE VCNTY OF THE ND/SD BORDER LATE
TNT. THESE STORMS COULD BE SEVERE AND COULD CAUSE AT LEAST A
PERIOD OF IFR CONDITIONS AT BOTH KMBG/KABR TERMINALS. PATCHY MVFR
CIGS COULD FOLLOW ANY PCPN/STORMS. WILL LEAVE OUT OF THE TAFS FOR
NOW BUT WILL UPDATE AS NEEDED.
