AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SIOUX FALLS SD
701 AM CDT SAT JUN 22 2013

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 400 AM CDT SAT JUN 22 2013

OVERNIGHT MCS CONTINUES TO WEAKEN AS IT BECOMES MORE ELEVATED.
SHOULD SEE A BREAK IN THE ACTIVITY LATER THIS MORNING WITH SHORT
WAVE LIFTING TO THE NORTHEAST OF THE AREA. MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGE
IS LOCATION OF LOW LEVEL/SURFACE BOUNDARY FOR THE EXPECTED
REDEVELOPMENT THIS AFTERNOON. WITH ALL THE CONVECTION AND
CONVECTIVE OUTFLOW...SURFACE WINDS DO NOT SHOW THE BOUNDARY WELL.
MODELS HAVE BEEN SHOWING BOUNDARY LIFTING NORTH ACROSS SE SODAK
FROM ABOUT BROOKINGS THROUGH CHARLES MIX COUNTY BY 21Z SATURDAY.
THE AMOUNT OF PROGRESS NORTHWARD WILL DEPEND ON THE AMOUNT OF
SURFACE HEATING AS THE CONVECTIVE DEBRIS EXITS THE REGION. A
COUPLE OF THE HI-RES MODELS AND NOW THE 06Z NAM ARE KEEPING THE
BOUNDARY FARTHER SOUTH ACROSS NEBRASKA BORDER AND NORTHWEST
IOWA...BUT THAT MAY BE A RESULT OF THE CONVECTIVE OUTPUT. WILL
COMPROMISE WITH EXPECTED BOUNDARY SET UP JUST NORTH OF FSD AND
FROM NEAR MARSHALL TO CHARLES MIX COUNTY. AS ANOTHER SHORT WAVE
EJECTS NORTHEAST FROM LONGER WAVE TROUGH ACROSS THE
PACNW...CONVECTIVE INITIATION IS EXPECTED ALONG AND NORTH OF THE
BOUNDARY. THERE IS CERTAINLY HIGH INSTABILITY EXPECTED WITH
MLCAPES ALONG AND JUST SOUTH OF THE BOUNDARY OF 2500-3500 J/KG.
PERSISTENT AND STRENGTHENING LLJ ALSO WILL CONTINUE STRONG LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE ADVECTION FLUX AIDING TO THE DESTABILIZATION
THROUGH THE DAY. ORGANIZED STRONG TO SEVERE CONVECTION LOOKS
LIKELY AS DEEP LAYER SHEAR IS 35-50KT WITH LARGE HAIL TO AROUND
GOLF BALL SIZE AND DAMAGING WINDS TO 70 MPH THE MAIN THREATS. GOOD
LOW LEVEL MOISTURE...0-3KM CAPES OVER 100 J/KG...AND HIGH HELICITY
ALONG THE BOUNDARY WILL MAKE TORNADOES A POSSIBILITY MAINLY DURING
THE AFTERNOON. CONVECTION THAT INITIATES OVER THE HIGH PLAINS IS
THEN EXPECTED TO PUSH INTO THE REGION FOR THE LATE EVENING AND
INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. THIS WILL CONTINUE THE THREAT OF LARGE
HAIL...AND MORE LIKELY DAMAGING WINDS AS AN ORGANIZED MCS IS
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AND PUSH ENE ACROSS THE FSD CWA. WITH PWATS
CONTINUING AT 1.5 TO 2.0 INCHES...WILL ISSUE ANOTHER FLASH FLOOD
WATCH FOR THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH TONIGHT. ON SUNDAY...THE SHORT
WAVE LIFTS ACROSS NORTH DAKOTA...WHICH SHOULD PUSH THE LOW LEVEL
BOUNDARY FARTHER SOUTHEAST. THE MAIN THREAT FOR SEVERE STORMS WILL
ALSO THEN SHIFT SOUTHEAST ACROSS MAINLY THE NORTHWEST IOWA
COUNTIES IN THE FSD FORECAST AREA. AGAIN...EXPECTING AFTERNOON
SEVERE DEVELOPMENT ALONG AND NORTH OF THE BOUNDARY.

SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY...SUBSIDENCE AND A BREAK IN THE ACTIVITY IS
EXPECTED. MODELS ARE THEN SHOWING A SHORT WAVE IN WEAK RIDGING ALOFT
THAT COULD INITIATE CONVECTION MONDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING ACROSS THE
HIGH PLAINS WHICH THEN MOVES ACROSS THE TRI-STATE AREA.
CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH AS MODEL PLACEMENT IS NOT CONSISTENT.

.LONG TERM...(SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 400 AM CDT SAT JUN 22 2013

RELATIVELY QUIET WEATHER EXPECTED IN THE EXTENDED AS A BROAD UPPER
LEVEL RIDGE ESTABLISHES ITSELF OVER THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST AND HIGH
PLAINS. MODELS BRING A TROUGH ALONG THE CANADIAN BORDER MID
WEEK...BREAKING DOWN THE RIDGE SLIGHTLY...BEFORE DIGGING FURTHER
SOUTH OVER THE GREAT LAKES LATE WEEK. AS A RESULT...FLOW TURNS MORE
NORTHWESTERLY WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND BEYOND AND OPENS THE POTENTIAL FOR
SOME THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY IN OUR FAR NORTHEASTERN COUNTIES. WITH
PRETTY MEAGER MOISTURE AND DYNAMICS...LEFT OUT MENTION OF
PRECIPITATION FOR NOW. TEMPERATURES WILL BE QUITE WARM MID
WEEK...WITH HIGHS IN THE 90S WEST AND SOUTH ON TUESDAY AND
WEDNESDAY...BUT WILL LIKELY COOL BACK INTO THE 80S LATE WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SUNDAY MORNING)
ISSUED AT 643 AM CDT SAT JUN 22 2013

SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX TRACKING EAST ACROSS FAR SOUTHEAST SD
AND NORTHWEST IOWA THIS MORNING WILL CONTINUE TO DIMINISH AS IT EXITS
THE AREA THIS MORNING. ACTIVITY SHOULD TAPER OFF BY AROUND
16Z...HOWEVER GENERALLY VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED WITH THIS
ACTIVITY WITH WIND GUSTS 25 KT OR LESS. THIS AFTERNOON SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS WILL ONCE AGAIN DEVELOP FROM SOUTH CENTRAL THROUGH EAST
CENTRAL SD AND SPREAD EAST ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH THE
EVENING. ACTIVITY WILL INITATE AFTER 20Z AND WILL BECOME MORE
WIDESPREAD AFTER 00Z. BEST POTENTIAL WILL BE ACROSS SD AND MN
COUNTIES. SEVERE WEATHER WILL AGAIN BE POSSIBLE WITH LARGE HAIL AND
WIND SQUALLS. STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO PERSIST OVERNIGHT. PRECISE
TIMING AND LOCATION OF THIS ACTIVITY IS A BIT UNCERTAIN AT THIS
POINT...SO WILL LEAVE TEMPO WORDING FOR THUNDERSTORMS AT ALL 3 TAF
SITES. EXPECT REDUCED CONDITIONS WITH IFR AND MVFR CEILINGS AND
VISIBILITY IN STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS.
