AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ABERDEEN SD
644 AM CDT WED JUN 18 2014

.UPDATE...
SEE THE UPDATED AVIATION DISCUSSION BELOW.

&&
.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY
A BOWING LINE SEGMENT IS CURRENTLY WORKING ITS WAY ACROSS THE
WESTERN CWA THIS MORNING. PLENTY OF ELEVATED CAPE AND EFFECTIVE
SHEAR TO KEEP THIS THING GOING. LIMITED OBS...SO NO REPORTS OF
SEVERE WINDS OR HAIL AT THE TIME OF THE DISCUSSION. IF IT HOLDS
TOGETHER IT WILL LIKELY TRACK NORTHEAST INTO NORTH DAKOTA IN THE
NEXT FEW HOURS.

THE MAIN UPPER LOW /DISTINCTLY VISIBLE ON WATER VAPOR IMAGERY/
IS NOW OVER THE NORTHERN INTER-MOUNTAIN REGION...AND WILL LIFT
NORTHEAST TODAY. A PRETTY DECENT CAP WILL BE IN PLACE BEFORE THE
UPPER LOW APPROACHES AND HEIGHTS BEING TO FALL. IN
FACT...INITIALLY 700 TEMPS WILL BE IN THE +10 TO +14 C RANGE
ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN CWA. GIVEN THIS...IT APPEARS THAT
STORM DEVELOPMENT WILL BE ALONG THE SURFACE INVERTED
THROUGH...TIED CLOSELY TO THE MAIN UPPER TROUGH AND HEIGHT FALLS.
THE DEEP LAYER FLOW WILL BE AT ABOUT A 45 DEGREE ANGLE TO THE
SURFACE BOUNDARY...SO DISCRETE CELLS ARE POSSIBLE...MAYBE
DEVELOPING INTO A LINE OF STORMS. STORMS WILL FORM OVER CENTRAL
SOUTH DAKOTA THIS AFTERNOON AND MOVE EAST...INTERACTING WITH CAPE
VALUES IN THE 2000-3000 J/KG RANGE AS WELL AS 30 TO 40 KTS OF 0-6
KM SHEAR. OVERALL...HAIL AND WIND ARE THE MAIN THREATS.
HOWEVER...AS THE SYSTEM INTENSIFIES A CLOSED LOW CIRCULATION WILL
MOVE INTO SOUTH CENTRAL SOUTH DAKOTA AND LIFT NORTHEAST. IF STORMS
CAN FORM ALONG THE WARM FRONT...OR NEAR THE TRIPLE POINT OF THE
SURFACE LOW...PLENTY OF LOW LEVEL ROTATIONAL SHEAR WILL BE
PRESENT...AND ISOLATED TORNADOES ARE CERTAINLY NOT OUT OF THE
QUESTION. OVERALL IT LOOKS LIKE A VERY GOOD SET UP FOR SEVERE
STORMS...EVEN IF SURFACE HEATING IS INHIBITED BY CLOUD COVER FOR
MUCH OF THE DAY. APPROPRIATE SEVERE WORDING HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE
FORECAST.

BY THURSDAY WESTERLY WINDS SHOULD BE TRANSPORTING DRIER AIR INTO
THE REGION...AND BEYOND SOME LINGERING PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE
FAR NORTHEAST CWA...CONDITIONS SHOULD CLEAR OUT...AND A COUPLE OF
DRY DAYS ARE EXPECTED.

.LONG TERM...FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY
NOT A WHOLE LOT HAS CHANGED IN THE EXTENDED MODELS THIS GO ROUND.
STILL LOOKS LIKE THE FLOW PATTERN TAKES ON MORE OF A FLAT RIDGE
ALOFT WITH A COUPLE OF EMBEDDED SHORTWAVES WORKING THROUGH. THE
FRONT END OF THE EXTENDED APPEARS TO BE DRY. HOWEVER...EVENTUALLY
LATER IN THE PERIOD...MODEST LLM/INSTABILITY RETURNS AND
PRECIPITATION CHANCES SHOW UP AGAIN /ESPECIALLY BY SUNDAY/.
TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE RUNNING GENERALLY AROUND NORMAL THROUGHOUT
THE EXTENDED FORECAST PERIOD...HEADING OFFICIALLY INTO THE SUMMER
SEASON.

.AVIATION...
12Z TAFS FOR THE KABR...KATY...KPIR AND KMBG TERMINALS

A LINE OF STORMS IS TRACKING ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL SOUTH DAKOTA
THIS MORNING...BUT IS NOT CURRENTLY INFLUENCING TAF SITES. CONFIDENCE
IS LOW THAT STORMS WILL PERSIST ALL THE WAY TO THE KABR TAF
SITE...BUT IF THEY DO THUNDER CAN BE EXPECTED AT KABR AROUND 14Z.
ONLY KEPT A VICINITY MENTION IN THE TAF AT THIS TIME DUE TO
UNCERTAINTY. ANOTHER LINE OF STORMS IS ALSO ONGOING ACROSS WESTERN
SOUTH DAKOTA...AND WILL BE MONITORED.

MVFR STRATUS IS EXPECTED TO OVERSPREAD MUCH OF THE REGION LATER
THIS MORNING AND THIS AFTERNOON. ADDITIONALLY...STORMS ARE
EXPECTED TO REDEVELOP AND TRACK FROM WEST TO EAST ACROSS THE
REGION. TIMING IS STILL IN QUESTION...HOWEVER AT THIS POINT A
ROUGH GUESS WOULD BE KPIR/KMBG AROUND 19Z-21Z...KABR BETWEEN 22Z-
00Z...AND KATY BY 00Z-02Z. ANY THUNDERSTORMS THAT DO DEVELOP WILL
LIKELY BE SEVERE AND CAPABLE OF PRODUCING LARGE HAIL...GUSTY
WINDS...HEAVY RAIN..AND POSSIBLY EVEN A TORNADO.
