...FLASH FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR EASTERN SIOUX COUNTY
UNTIL 300 AM CDT...

AT 958 PM CDT...LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS REPORTED 
THUNDERSTORMS WITH VERY HEAVY RAIN ACROSS THE WARNED AREA. RADAR 
INDICATES UP TO FOUR INCHES OF RAIN HAS FALLEN BETWEEN SELFRIDGE AND 
BREIEN. LAW ENFORCEMENT REPORTED THAT STATE HIGHWAY 6 WAS CLOSED 
NEAR MILE MARKER 18 DUE TO WATER UP TO A FOOT DEEP FLOWING OVER THE 
HIGHWAY. DITCHES IN THE AREA WERE FULL OF WATER. 

RUNOFF FROM THIS EXCESSIVE RAINFALL WILL CAUSE FLASH FLOODING TO 
OCCUR OVER MAINLY RURAL AREAS OF EASTERN SIOUX COUNTY...INCLUDING 
THE TOWNS OF SELFRIDGE AND SOLEN.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

ADDITIONAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF ONE TO TWO INCHES ARE POSSIBLE IN THE 
WARNED AREA.

BE ESPECIALLY CAUTIOUS AT NIGHT WHEN IT IS HARDER TO RECOGNIZE THE
DANGERS OF FLOODING. IF FLOODING IS OBSERVED...ACT QUICKLY. DO NOT
ENTER THE WATER. TURN AROUND AND MOVE UP TO HIGHER GROUND. DO NOT
STAY IN AREAS SUBJECT TO FLOODING WHEN WATER BEGINS RISING.

DO NOT DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO AREAS WHERE THE WATER COVERS THE
ROADWAY. THE WATER DEPTH MAY BE TOO GREAT TO ALLOW YOUR CAR TO CROSS
SAFELY.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 232 PM CDT SAT MAY 25 2013

MAIN FORECAST PROBLEM IN THE SHORT TERM WILL BE THUNDERSTORM
ACTIVITY TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY. CURRENT CONVECTION CONTINUES OVER
WESTERN NORTH DAKOTA...NORTH OF A FRONTAL BOUNDARY IN A GOOD SHEAR
ENVIRONMENT AND INCREASING MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES. THIS CONVECTION
HAS BEEN STRONG TO AT TIMES MARGINALLY SEVERE THROUGH THE MORNING
AND INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON. EXPECT THIS TREND TO CONTINUE MAINLY
WEST OF THE HIGHWAY 83 CORRIDOR THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY
EVENING.

NEXT AREA OF CONCERN WILL BE SOUTHEAST MONTANA INTO THE WESTERN
DAKOTAS LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. UPPER LEVEL IMPULSE LIFTING
ACROSS THE NORTHERN ROCKIES WILL ERODE CINH. THIS...COMBINED WITH
DAYTIME HEATING WILL BE ENOUGH TO FIRE A FEW STORMS OVER THE HIGH
PLAINS. WITH STRONG DEEP LAYER SHEAR AND A STEEP EML...SOME
THUNDERSTORMS LIKELY BECOME SEVERE WITH LARGE HAIL THE MAIN THREAT.
ALTHOUGH WITH A GOOD SHEAR PROFILE AND LARGE CAPE VALUES...SOME OF
THE STORMS COULD PRODUCE TORNADOES. THINK THAT OVER TIME THIS
EVENING...CONVECTION WILL TRANSITION FROM DISCRETE CELLS TO A AN
MCS.

ON SUNDAY...NOT A LOT WILL CHANGE AS QUASI-STATIONARY LOW WILL
REMAIN OVER THE MONDAK REGION WITH A SOUTHWEST UPPER LEVEL FLOW.
WILL ADD A MENTION OF SEVERE STORMS TO THE WEST SUNDAY AFTERNOON.

.LONG TERM...(SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 232 PM CDT SAT MAY 25 2013

UNSETTLED WEATHER WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MOST OF THE EXTENDED
PERIOD. THE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN WILL INITIALLY CONSIST OF A TROUGH
ALONG THE WEST COAST AND RIDGING OVER THE GREAT LAKES REGION
LEAVING THE NORTHERN PLAINS IN A SOUTHWEST FLOW. SPC CONTINUES TO
HIGHLIGHT A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER FOR SOUTHWESTERN ND ON
MONDAY WITH THE GFS SHOWING 1000-2000 J/KG CAPE ACROSS MUCH OF THE
WESTERN HALF OF ND WITH A DEEPENING SURFACE LOW APPROACHING. BY
MIDWEEK GFS/ECMWF BRING THE TROUGH EASTWARD WHILE DEEPENING
IT...RESULTING IN A CONTINUED CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION ACROSS ND
THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK.
