AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SIOUX FALLS SD
559 PM CDT WED MAY 29 2013

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 404 PM CDT WED MAY 29 2013

COMPLEX SCENARIO TONIGHT BUT THE OVERALL MESSAGE LOOKS TO BE A LOW
END THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITH A BETTER THREAT FOR
LOCALIZED HEAVY RAINFALL. CONVECTION CONTINUES TO SKIRT ALONG THE
WESTERN AND EASTERN EDGES OF THE CWA AS CONVECTION IN NEBRASKA
CONTINUES TO WEAKEN AS IT MOVES NORTH. SHEAR VALUES ARE MINIMALLY
SUPPORTIVE OF SEVERE CONVECTION WHILE CAPE VALUES ARE AROUND 1000 TO
1500 J/KG BUT OF THE VERY SKINNY VARIETY. THUS STARTING TO TREND
THINKING TOWARDS THE CONSISTENT HRRR WHICH FOR 5 RUNS IN A ROW HAS
PRODUCED A LARGE MCS WHICH CONGEALS FROM THE CONVECTION THAT IS
CURRENTLY DEVELOPING OVER THE WESTERN HIGH PLAINS. WILL RUN A BLEND
OF HPC/LOW RESOLUTION MODELS ALONG WITH THE HRRR AND RAP OUTPUT.
THE MAIN TAKE FROM THIS IS THAT THERE STILL APPEARS TO BE THE THREAT
FOR STORMS TO PRODUCE LOCALIZED RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 3 TO 4 INCHES
WITH SLOW STORM MOVEMENT. WITH MOST LOCATIONS FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE
RIGHT AROUND AN INCH AND A HALF OR A LITTLE MORE FLASH FLOODING WILL
BE A THREAT. THERE IS LIKELY TO BE A LULL IN CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY
LATE TONIGHT INTO TOMORROW MORNING THEN THE POTENTIAL FOR MORE
THUNDERSTORMS TOMORROW AFTERNOON...ESPECIALLY IN NORTHWEST IOWA AND
MAINLY SOUTHEAST PARTS OF SOUTHWEST MINNESOTA. CAPE VALUES JUST A
BIT MORE STOUT TOMORROW AND WIND SHEAR JUST A TOUCH BETTER SO AGAIN
NOT A WIDESPREAD THREAT BUT A THREAT NONETHELESS. LOWS TONIGHT
MAINLY 60 TO 65 WITH HIGHS ON THURSDAY IN THE MID 70S.

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 404 PM CDT WED MAY 29 2013

LINGERING CONVECTION FROM DEVELOPMENT ON THURSDAY AFTERNOON WILL BE
SWINGING FAIRLY RAPIDLY THROUGH WITH STRONG PV LOBE LIFTING TO THE
NORTHEAST. MAIN UPPER WAVE WILL BE FAIRLY SLOW TO WOBBLE THROUGH THE
DAKOTAS THROUGH EARLY IN THE WEEKEND...BUT FIRST PART OF THIS PERIOD
WILL INTRODUCE A DRY SLOT AHEAD OF UPPER CIRCULATION THURSDAY NIGHT
INTO EARLY FRIDAY. AREA OF DIV Q BRUSHES UP AGAINST THE FAR
SOUTHEAST LATE AND WHILE BEST CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION WILL CONTINUE
WELL SOUTHEAST...DID NUDGE A SMALL CHANCE FOR A LIGHT SHOWER INTO
THE FAR SOUTHEAST FOR A FEW HOURS AROUND DAYBREAK ON FRIDAY. IN
GENERAL...THE DRIER AIR WILL WORK THROUGH AREAS SOUTH OF THE UPPER
LOW AND WITH DIMINISHING WINDS ON THURSDAY NIGHT...WILL FIND LOWS
BACK IN THE UPPER 40S TO LOWER 50S FOR MOST.

SEVERAL DETERMINISTIC MODELS INDICATE A WEAK CONVERGENCE BOUNDARY
SLIDING THROUGH THE AREA ON LATER FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND FRIDAY
EVENING. AIRMASS DOES GET SOMEWHAT UNSTABLE...AND APPEARS TO BE
SETUP FOR DECENT MIXING WITH THE WEST TO SOUTHWEST FLOW COMPONENT AT
LOWER LEVELS THROUGH THE DAY. NET EFFECT WILL LIKELY BE AN ALMOST
UNCAPPED PROFILE WITH 400-700 J/KG INSTABILITY AND UNIMPRESSIVE
SHEAR. LIKELY WILL BE THE UNFAVORABLE AND WEAKLY SUBSIDENT LARGER
SCALE THAT WILL KEEP ACTION AT BAY UNTIL LATER INTO THE DIURNAL
CYCLE...WHEN PERHAPS SOME WEAK LOW LEVEL MOISTURE POOLING DUE TO
INDUCING SOMEWHAT STRONGER CONVERGENCE THAN MODEL INDICATED. STILL
WILL BE FAIRLY ISOLATED TO SCATTERED EVEN IT DOES DEVELOP WITH
MOISTURE LIMITATIONS.

AFTER VERY SHORT TERM...LOOKS LIKE LATER FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY
WILL BE THE BEST CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE AREA...ALBEIT
MUCH LIGHTER THAN SHORTEST RANGE PRECIPITATION. UPPER TROUGH SWINGS
PAST WITH VERY COOL TEMPERATURES ALOFT. SHOULD BE PLENTY OF LOWER
LEVEL SHOWERS EVEN BEHIND PASSAGE OF UPPER WAVE ON SATURDAY
AFTERNOON WHICH CONTINUE TO ROTATE THROUGH NORTHEASTERN CWA.
BLUSTERY AND COOL DAY...WITH HIGHS UPPER 50S TO MID 60S. GFS
ENSEMBLE TEMPERATURE GUIDANCE STRONGLY SUGGESTS THAT COOLER IS
BETTER FOR SATURDAY. WINDS WILL DIMINISH...BUT A COOL NIGHT ON
SATURDAY NIGHT AS CLEARING PUSHES INTO THE WEST HALF.

FOR THE EXTENDED RANGE /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/ A FAIRLY QUIET
START WITH BRIEF RIDGING IN PLACE. STRETCHED OUT THE DIURNAL RANGE A
BIT FROM INITIALIZATION...AS EVEN WITH WET GROUND SHOULD BE ABLE TO
GET TOWARD FULL 850 HPA MIXING ON SUNDAY. DEVELOPMENT OF RETURN FLOW
FROM WEST TO EAST ON SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY MORNING. GFS/ECMWF
SHOWING SOME WEAK ELEVATED INSTABILITY/MOISTURE RETURN BY LATER
MONDAY...AND RELUCTANTLY INTRODUCED A LOW CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS.
ANOTHER UPPER TROUGH WILL SETTLE INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS TUESDAY
INTO WEDNESDAY...BUT THIS SOURCE WILL BE WITHIN LARGER SCALE
NORTHWEST FLOW AND IS SOMEWHAT MORE PROGRESSIVE THAN SHORT TERM
SYSTEM. SOME UNCERTAINTY IN TIMING AS BOUNDARY PUSHES THROUGH THE
AREA BUT HIGHEST CHANCES APPEAR CURRENTLY TO WORK THROUGH DURING THE
MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT PERIOD. GENERALLY...TEMPERATURES
WILL BE WORKING SLOWLY UPWARD THROUGH TUESDAY...THEN SLIPPING BACK A
TOUCH WITH BOUNDARY PASSAGE AND PRECIPITATION LATER TUESDAY INTO
WEDNESDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z THURSDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 559 PM CDT WED MAY 29 2013

A MORE ORGANIZED ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL PUSH SSW TO NNE
ACROSS THE AREA THIS MID TO LATE EVENING...AFFECTING THE
HON/FSD/SUX TAF SITES. MVFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED WITH THESE
STORMS...AND SOME WILL CONTAIN LARGE HAIL AND VERY STRONG WIND
GUSTS TO 50+ KTS. A MOIST AIRMASS WILL SETTLE OVER THE REGION
AGAIN LATE TONIGHT/EARLY THURSDAY WITH WIDESPREAD IFR CONDITIONS
LOOKING LIKELY.
