AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SIOUX FALLS SD
248 PM CDT SAT JUN 14 2014

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 247 PM CDT SAT JUN 14 2014

ALL EYES ON THE POTENTIAL FOR CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT THIS AFTERNOON
AND EVENING. SURFACE LOW PRESSURE CONTINUES TO STRENGTHEN ACROSS
SOUTHWESTERN NEBRASKA WITH A SECONDARY AREA OF LOW PRESSURE
EXTENDING NORTHWARD ACROSS CENTRAL SOUTH DAKOTA INTO SOUTH CENTRAL
NORTH DAKOTA. COLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY CONNECTING THESE TWO FEATURES IS
SHOWING VERY LITTLE MOVEMENT SO FAR TODAY...HOWEVER WITH THE ARRIVAL
OF A MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE...SEVERE CONVECTION HAS FIRED IN SOUTH
CENTRAL SOUTH DAKOTA. TO OUR EAST...ONGOING HIGH BASED THUNDERSTORM
COMPLEX IS SLOWLY EXITING OUR EASTERN BORDER AFTER DUMPING AS MUCH
AS 5 OR 6 INCHES OF RAINFALL ACROSS NORTHWEST IOWA INTO FAR
SOUTHEAST SOUTH DAKOTA. OBSERVATIONS TO THE SOUTH OF THE FORECAST
AREA HAVE HEATED NICELY INTO THE MID 80S WITH DEWPOINTS IN LOW 60S
IN EASTERN NEBRASKA...AND THIS HEATING IS NOSING INTO OUR SOUTHERN
BORDER WHERE THERE ARE A FEW MORE BREAKS IN THE CLOUD COVER. ALSO
WATCHING AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY FROM EARLIER CONVECTION WHICH HAS SET
UP NEAR ORANGE CITY IOWA INTO THE YANKTON SOUTH DAKOTA AREA. WITH A
PRETTY HEFTY CAP AROUND 750 MB...CONVECTION SHOULD HOLD OFF HERE
UNTIL LATER THIS AFTERNOON WHEN SURFACE HEATING PEAKS. FURTHER
NORTH...HEATING HAS BEEN HAMPERED BY EARLIER CONVECTION AND CLOUD
COVERAGE...YIELDING A MORE STABLE ATMOSPHERE. DEEP LAYER SHEAR IS
PRETTY STRONG ACROSS THE AREA AT AROUND 35 TO 40 KT...DECREASING
SLIGHTLY NEAR THE MISSOURI VALLEY...BUT STILL SHOWING A GOOD VEERING
PROFILE.

INITIALLY...EXPECT SOME STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS TO PUSH INTO OUR
WESTERN FORECAST AREA ALONG THE COLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY WHICH SHOULD
BEGIN ADVANCING SLOWLY EASTWARD. THE MAIN THREAT WILL BE LARGE HAIL
TO GOLF BALL SIZE AND DAMAGING WINDS TO 70 MPH...WITH A SMALL
POTENTIAL FOR A TORNADO. THIS POTENTIAL WILL CONTINUE WITH ANY
DEVELOPMENT THAT HOLDS TOGETHER AS THE FRONT PUSHES EASTWARD THROUGH
THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. HOWEVER...THE GREATEST SEVERE THREAT
APPEARS TO BE ACROSS FAR SOUTHEAST SOUTH DAKOTA INTO NORTHWEST IOWA
NEAR THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY...AND COINCIDENT VERY STEEP LAPSE RATES
AND THE AREA OF MOISTURE CONVERGENCE. IF THE CAP CAN MANAGE TO BREAK
IN THIS AREA LATE AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING...THERE A STRONG
POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER - INCLUDING DISCRETE SUPERCELL
STRUCTURES. WITH THE ADVANCING FRONT MOVING INTO THE REGION AS
WELL...SHEAR IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE IN THIS AREA AS WELL. IF THE
OUTFLOW BOUNDARY REMAINS INTACT...THIS WILL ALSO HELP TO CREATE MORE
SHEAR FOR SUPERCELLS...ESPECIALLY IN THE LOW LEVELS. EXPECT VERY
LARGE HAIL TO THE SIZE OF TENNIS BALLS AND DAMAGING WINDS TO 70 MPH
IN ADDITION TO VERY HEAVY RAINFALL. LOW LEVEL SHEAR WOULD BE
CONDUCIVE TO ONE OR TWO TORNADIC SUPERCELLS AS WELL...MAINLY LATE
AFTERNOON INTO MID EVENING. MID EVENING INTO THE EARLY
MORNING...EXPECT STORMS TO BECOME MORE LINEAR AND THE SEVERE THREAT
SHIFTING TO DAMAGING WINDS.

THE LOW LEVEL JET INCREASES AGAIN TONIGHT...SHIFTING FURTHER EAST
ACROSS NORTHWEST IOWA. EXPECT THUNDERSTORMS TO LIKELY TRAIN OVER
THIS AREA FOR SEVERAL HOURS LATE EVENING AND TONIGHT ALONG AND AHEAD
OF THE FRONT. GIVEN THE HEAVY RAINFALL FROM LAST NIGHT INTO THIS
MORNING AND PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES INCREASING AS HIGH AS 1.75
INCHES...FLASH FLOODING MAY BECOME A PROBLEM IN FAR SE SD...FAR SW
MN AND NW IA WITH AN ADDITIONAL 2 TO 3 INCHES OF RAINFALL POSSIBLE
IN THESE AREAS. WILL ISSUE A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR THE AREAS THAT
RECEIVED THE MOST RAINFALL IN THE PAST 24 HOURS.

ACTIVITY WILL TAPER OFF LATE TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING. WESTERLY
FLOW WITH MODEST DRYING WILL ALLOW SKIES TO CLEAR FROM SOUTHWEST TO
NORTHEAST THROUGH THE DAY. SHOULD YIELD A MILD BUT BREEZY DAY ACROSS
THE FORECAST AREA WITH HIGHS MAINLY IN THE 70S.

.LONG TERM...(SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 247 PM CDT SAT JUN 14 2014

MONDAY STILL SHOWING A STRONG POTENTIAL FOR SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WITH A VERY GOOD CHANCE FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IF
THE INGREDIENTS CAN COME TOGETHER AT THE CORRECT TIME. MODELS ALL
INDICATING 4000 TO 5000 J/KG DEVELOPING BY AFTERNOON AND ARE NOT
INDICATING AN INSURMOUNTABLE CAP. AS WITH MOST OF THE POTENTIAL
SEVERE WEATHER OUTBREAKS IN THE NORTHERN PLAINS THERE IS LIKELY TO
BE SOME FORM OF MORNING MCS...BUT MODELS NOT VERY AGREEABLE UPON
THIS. THERE DOES APPEAR TO BE ENOUGH OF A MID LEVEL
WAVE/INSTABILITY TO ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN SO WILL HAVE SOME POPS IN
MOST AREAS THROUGH THE DAY BUT FOCUS THE HIGHER POPS AND THREAT FOR
SEVERE DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. DID TAPER HIGHS BACK A BIT
IN THE NORTH BUT RAISED IN THE SOUTH WHERE THERE WILL BE A BETTER
CHANCE OF HEATING OUT.

TUESDAY INTO TUESDAY NIGHT WILL SEE LESS OF A CHANCE AS WEAK UPPER
LEVEL RIDGING MOVES THROUGH AND THE TROUGH TO THE WEST SHIFTS EAST
AND DIGS A BIT. SHOULD BE A VERY WARM DAY HOWEVER AND WITH A WARM
FRONT POTENTIALLY CLOSE POPS WILL HAVE SOME LOWER POPS IN THE NORTH
DURING THE DAY AND SOME LOW TO MID POPS IN AT NIGHT. HIGHS MAINLY
80S.

IN THE OUTER PERIODS(WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY)...AN UNSETTLED
WEATHER PATTERN CONTINUES AS WE CONTINUE TO MAKE UP FOR LOST
PRECIPITATION FROM THE FIRST 5 MONTHS OF THE YEAR. WEDNESDAY LOOKS
LIKE THE WARMEST DAY OF THE PERIOD AS A STRONG TROUGH OF LOW
PRESSURE DIGS OVER THE WEST COAST. THIS TROUGH IS PROGGED BY ALL
MODELS TO SWING NEGATIVELY ONTO THE PLAINS THROUGH THE END OF THE
WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND. THIS WILL KEEP A GOOD CHANCE FOR RAIN AND
THUNDERSTORMS IN THROUGH AT LEAST FRIDAY WITH WHAT LOOKS TO BE A
DECREASING THREAT THROUGH THE WEEKEND. ONE CAVEAT IS THAT THE MODELS
ARE ALSO HINTING THIS UPPER LEVEL LOW COULD CUT OFF WHICH MAKES
FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY A BIT LESS CONFIDENT AS THE MODELS ARE
NOTORIOUS FOR HAVING MAJOR PROBLEMS PLACING CUT OFF LOWS IN THE
OUTER PERIODS.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SUNDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1227 PM CDT SAT JUN 14 2014

ACTIVE WEATHER IS EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. ONGOING
CONVECTION ACROSS SOUTHWEST MINNESOTA WILL TRACK NORTHEAST THROUGH
THE NEXT FEW HOURS. ALL EYES FOCUS ON CONVECTION THREAT REDEVELOPING
MID TO LATE AFTERNOON AND PUSHING ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH
THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. EXPECT THE BEST CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS
ACROSS THE EASTERN TWO THIRDS OF THE FORECAST AREA...MAINLY TO THE
EAST OF THE JAMES RIVER AFTER 21Z. STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS WILL BE
POSSIBLE WITH FREQUENT LIGHTNING...HEAVY RAINFALL...LARGE HAIL AND
STRONG WIND GUSTS...ESPECIALLY SOUTH OF I-90 AND ALONG AND EAST OF
I29. EXPECT MVFR AND IFR CONDITIONS IN STORMS AND STRONG VARIABLE
WINDS. ACTIVITY WILL TAPER OFF AFTER 06Z. ALSO LOOKING AT SCATTERED
MVFR STRATUS WORKING INTO THE WESTERN FORECAST AREA THIS AFTERNOON.
