AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION FOR SOUTHEAST SD/SOUTHWEST MN/NORTHWEST IA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SIOUX FALLS SD
725 PM CDT MON JUN 18 2012

.DISCUSSION...
HAVE UPDATED THE FORECAST TO SPEED UP TIMING OF THUNDERSTORM
POTENTIAL.  BATCH OF ALTOCUMULUS BEGINNING TO SPREAD ACROSS WESTERN
NEBRASKA INTO SOUTHWESTERN SOUTH DAKOTA IN RESPONSE TO SUBTLE UPPER
WAVE MOVING ACROSS THE AREA. AS LOW LEVEL JET INCREASES THIS
EVENING...MOISTURE TRANSPORT IS EXPECTED TO RAPIDLY INCREASE
INITIATING ELEVATED STORMS.  LAPSE RATES ARE DRY ADIABATIC FROM
700-550 MB CREATING THE POTENTIAL FOR LARGE HAIL.  THIS IS COVERED
WELL IN THE HWO...WILL JUST MOVE TIMING UP SLIGHTLY. LOWS LOOK
REASONABLE GIVEN STRONG LOW LEVEL JET DEVELOPING AS WARM FRONT LIFTS
BACK TO THE NORTH ACROSS THE AREA.

&&
.AVIATION.../FOR THE 00Z TAF ISSUANCE/
THE MAIN CONCERN FOR AVIATION THE NEXT 24 H WILL BE CONVECTION
OVERNIGHT AND WINDS LATER TONIGHT AND TUESDAY. IN GENERAL...VFR
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH 00Z WED.
HOWEVER...THERE WILL BE PERIODS OF MVFR AND EVEN BRIEFLY IFR
CONDITIONS IN STRONGER THUNDERSTORMS OVERNIGHT. FOR TAF SITES...KHON
IS WHERE THE BEST CHANCE FOR STORMS LOOKS TO BE FROM 04Z TO 07Z. BUT
THE CHANCE WILL EXIST NORTH OF I-90...ESPECIALLY TOWARD HWY 14 FROM
KHON TO KMML. TOWARD I-90...THERE IS A SLIGHT CHANCE OF A STORM BUT
THE PROBABILITY IS TOO LOW TO INCLUDE IN THE KFSD TAF AT THIS TIME.
AS FOR WINDS...THE LOW LEVEL JET WILL REALLY INCREASE OVERNIGHT. AT
KFSD AND KSUX...THE WARM FRONT IS WILL MOVE THROUGH AROUND 00Z AND
06Z RESPECTIVELY.  BUT EVEN AFTER FROPA...WITH WINDS ALOFT FROM 40
KTS NEAR KFSD TO 50 KTS AT KSUX...LLWS WILL EXIST FOR A TIME LATE
TONIGHT INTO EARLY TUESDAY MORNING. AS IT MIXES OUT EARLY TOMORROW
WINDS WILL GO S AND GRADUALLY SSW WITH GUSTS TO 30 KTS. THE COLD
FRONT WILL GO THROUGH KHON EARLY IN THE AFTERNOON AND APPROACHING
KFSD BY 00Z. WHILE THERE IS AGAIN A LOW CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS IN
THE LATE AFTERNOON...THE BETTER CHANCE WILL BE AFTER 00Z SO THEY ARE
NOT INCLUDED IN TAFS AT THIS TIME./SCHUMACHER

&&
.PREV DISCUSSION.../ISSUED AT 350 PM CDT/
WARM FRONTAL BOUNDARY REMAINS VIRTUALLY STATIONARY ACROSS OUR
SOUTHEAST...FROM NEAR VERMILLION SOUTH DAKOTA TO NEAR ESTHERVILLE
IOWA. VERY WARM MID LEVEL TEMPERATURES ARE KEEPING THE BOUNDARY
LAYER WELL CAPPED...AND ASIDE FROM SOME SCATTERED CUMULUS CLOUDS
THIS EVENING...DO NOT EXPECT ACTIVE WEATHER NEAR THIS BOUNDARY. LATE
THIS EVENING...THE LOWER LEVEL JET IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN INCREASING
ACROSS THE EASTERN TWO THIRDS OF THE FORECAST AREA WHILE THE WARM
FRONT LIFTS NORTHWARD AND A MID LEVEL WAVE EJECTS FROM THE ROCKIES
INTO THE HIGH PLAINS. ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE INTO OUR
FAR WESTERN COUNTIES LATE THIS EVENING AND COULD SPREAD
NORTHEASTWARD AND INCREASE AFTER MIDNIGHT. NAM FORECAST SOUNDINGS
PAINT MUCAPE AROUND 2000 J/KG INTO THE EARLY MORNING WHILE EFFECTIVE
SHEAR INCREASES TO AROUND 40 TO 60 KT ACROSS OUR FAR WEST. THE BEST
POTENTIAL FOR THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE INTO THE HIGHWAY 14 CORRIDOR
WITH LESSER CHANCES AS FAR SOUTH AS INTERSTATE 90. ACTIVITY SHOULD
DIMINISH AND MOVE OUT OF THE AREA AROUND DAYBREAK TUESDAY. LOWS
TONIGHT WILL BE QUITE MILD WITH MOST LOCATIONS IN THE 70S.

DIFFICULT FORECAST FOR TUESDAY WITH THE MAIN QUESTION BEING THE
TIMING OF THE FRONT DROPPING SOUTHEASTWARD AS A COLD FRONT. AHEAD OF
THE FRONT...TEMPERATURES WILL BE QUITE HOT AS WINDS TURN SOUTHWARD
AND BECOME WINDY. MODELS ARE STILL SOMEWHAT UNCERTAIN ABOUT THE
TIMING OF THE FRONT...WHICH COULD SPELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HIGHS
IN THE 80S OR CLOSE TO THE CENTURY MARK. IT LOOKS LIKE OUR FAR WEST
WILL SEE A PASSAGE AROUND MID DAY WITH TEMPERATURES ON THE COOLER
SIDE. WENT AHEAD A BUMPED UP HIGHS INTO THE MID TO UPPER 90S ACROSS
OUR SOUTHEAST WHERE SKIES ARE MORE LIKELY TO REMAIN MOSTLY SUNNY
WITH SOUTHERLY WINDS THROUGH THE DAY. ISOLATED STORMS WILL BE
POSSIBLE ALONG THE FRONT LATE IN THE AFTERNOON WHICH WOULD POSE
ANOTHER SEVERE THREAT IF ANYTHING MANAGES TO GET GOING. BUT
AGAIN...THE TIMING AND LOCATION OF THE FRONT MAKE THINGS DIFFICULT
TO PINPOINT AT THIS TIME. /

THE COLD FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE ACROSS THE CWA TUESDAY EVENING
INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. STILL TIMING DIFFERENCES...WITH THE ECMWF
SLOWER THAN THE NAM...GFS AND SREF SOLUTIONS. CONVECTION CHANCES
ALSO UNCERTAIN OUT AHEAD OF THE FRONT. CONVERGENCE ALONG THE FRONT
COMBINED WITH CONTINUED HEATING AND THE APPROACH OF THE UPPER LEVEL
TROUGH...MAY BE ENOUGH TO BREAK THE CAP. MLCAPE EXPECTED TO BE
AROUND 2500 J/KG OUT AHEAD OF THE FRONT. DEEP LAYER SHEAR EXPECTED
TO BE AROUND 30 KTS AHEAD OF IT AS WELL...WHICH WHILE NOT
EXTREME...SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO ALLOW FOR SOME STORM ORGANIZATION.
THIS COMBINED WITH THE HIGH INSTABILITY...WILL LEAD TO A SEVERE
THREAT INTO THE EVENING HOURS IF STORMS FORM. BUT A STRONG AND
RELATIVELY DEEP CAP AHEAD OF THE FRONT MAY NOT ALLOW STORMS TO
FORM...SO WILL HAVE TO WATCH FUTURE TRENDS. WITH TIMING DIFFERENCES
IN THE FRONT...THE LOCATION OF THIS POSSIBLE CONVECTION IS EVEN
UNCERTAIN...WITH A CHANCE PROBABLY ANYWHERE FROM THE JAMES RIVER
EASTWARD. LOOKS MORE CERTAIN THAT SHOWERS AND STORMS FORM IN THE
POST FRONTAL ENVIRONMENT INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AS UPPER LEVEL
FORCING INCREASES. THESE STORMS SHOULD NOT BE SEVERE...BUT WITH
STORM MOTION PARALLEL TO THE FRONT COULD SEE SOME HEAVY RAIN. AGAIN
LOCATION OF THE HEAVIEST RAIN STILL UNCERTAIN AND DEPENDENT ON WHERE
850MB FRONT SETS UP.

WEDNESDAY WILL LIKELY SEE SHOWERS AND STORMS LINGERING IN THE
EAST...WITH CLEARING FROM WEST TO EAST THROUGH THE DAY. THE STORMS
MAY LINGER IN OUR FAR EAST INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS. THESE
STORMS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO BE SEVERE. HIGHS WEDNESDAY WILL GENERALLY
BE IN THE 70S TO AROUND 80. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVERHEAD WEDNESDAY
NIGHT INTO THURSDAY MORNING...ALLOWING LOWS TO DROP INTO THE 50S
OVER MUCH OF THE AREA. THURSDAY LOOKS DRY AND WARMER AS THE RIDGE
BUILDS BACK IN...WITH HIGHS MAINLY IN THE LOWER 80S.

ON FRIDAY THE WARM FRONT BEGINS TO LIFT BACK NORTH AS A SHORTWAVE
PUSHES EAST OVER THE RIDGE. MUCH OF FRIDAY WILL REMAIN
DRY...ALTHOUGH WILL BE EVEN WARMER...HIGHS IN THE 80S...WITH
READINGS AROUND 90 WEST OF THE JAMES RIVER. OUR NEXT ACTIVE WEATHER
LOOKS TO OCCUR FRIDAY EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. AS THE LOW
LEVEL JET KICKS IN...WE WILL SEE ANOTHER ROUND OF IMPRESSIVE LOW
LEVEL THETAE ADVECTION UP OVER THE WARM FRONT. THUS EXPECTING
ELEVATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO FORM NORTH OF THE FRONT FRIDAY
EVENING AND CONTINUE INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. THE CHANCE FOR THESE
STORMS EXISTS OVER THE WHOLE CWA...ALTHOUGH THE GREATEST THREAT
CURRENTLY LOOKS TO BE FROM STORM LAKE..TO SIOUX FALLS...TO
CHAMBERLAIN...AND POINTS NORTH AND EAST. WITH DECENT ELEVATED CAPE
AND SHEAR AGAIN EXPECTED...THESE STORMS MAY POSE A SEVERE HAIL
THREAT.

WINDS LIKELY TURN NORTHEASTERLY BEHIND THIS WAVE AS THE BOUNDARY
PUSHES BACK SOUTH. SATURDAYS TEMPERATURES DEPENDENT ON HOW QUICK
THIS BOUNDARY PUSHES ACROSS...SO STAYED WITH MODEL CONSENSUS VALUES
FOR NOW. RIDGE BEGINS TO BUILD BACK IN SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. BOTH DAYS
LOOK DRY FOR NOW WITH TEMPERATURES WARMING BACK TO ABOVE NORMAL
LEVELS...GENERALLY 80S...WITH 90S POSSIBLE WEST OF THE JAMES BY
MONDAY. /CHENARD
