AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SIOUX FALLS SD
427 PM CDT TUE JUN 17 2014

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 315 PM CDT TUE JUN 17 2014

WE HAVE AN ENVIRONMENT OVER THE AREA PARTIALLY SUITABLE FOR STORM
DEVELOPMENT EXCEPT FOR THE CAP...WHICH WILL BE SLOW TO BE BROKEN
OUTSIDE OF THE SOUTHERN EDGE OF THE AREA...AND THAT AREA SEEMS TOO
FAR SOUTH TO GET MUCH. IN FACT...WITH STORM INITIATION DELAYED...
POSSIBLY UNTIL CLOSE TO 00Z/7 PM CDT...BOTH STORM COVERAGE AND THE
TIME DURATION OF THE THREAT WILL BE LIMITED. MOST OF THE THREAT
SHOULD BE OVER AROUND 1 AM AS DISTINCT SHORT WAVE PULLS EAST
NORTHEAST OF THE AREA. THIS SHORT WAVE SEEMS TO BE THE MAIN REASON
WE WILL GET ENOUGH LIFT ANYWHERE TO BREAK THE CAP. POPS WILL BE
MAXIMIZED AT HIGH CHANCE EAST CENTRAL...OR IN THE EASTERN PART OF
THE AREA NEAR THE MN/IA BORDER.

ALL THIS SAID...THE CONDITIONAL PROBABILITY OF SEVERE STORMS IS
PRETTY HIGH...AND THE RISK OF HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS...AND EVEN A
TORNADO WITH STORMS THAT DO DEVELOP WILL STILL EXIST. LOCAL HEAVY
RAIN IS STILL A THREAT...BUT GIVEN THE EXPECTED LIMITED
COVERAGE...MODEST MOVEMENT OF CELLS...AND THE LIMITED TIME...DO NOT
PLAN ON A FLASH FLOOD WATCH DESPITE THE OBVIOUS RECORD SOGGINESS.
THE WARM AND HUMID INFLOW WILL CONTINUE...AND LOW TEMPERATURES
SHOULD BE IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S.

WEDNESDAY SHOULD START RAIN FREE FOR THE MORNING INTO THE START OF
THE AFTERNOON...WILL NOT SAY DRY SINCE IT WILL BE SO HUMID. THE
APPROACHING MAJOR TROUGH AND SURFACE SYSTEM WILL BEGIN TO TRIGGER
STORMS PROBABLY AROUND MID AFTERNOON...WITH STORMS SLOWLY EXPANDING
IN COVERAGE AT THE END OF THE DAY. DESPITE THE LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE...STRONG WARMING AND HEATING SHOULD KEEP LOW CLOUDS TO LESS
THAN TODAY AND ALLOW FOR HEATING TO THE 80S WEST AND NORTH TO THE
LOWER 90S SOUTHEAST.

.LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 315 PM CDT TUE JUN 17 2014

STILL QUITE A BIT OF UNCERTAINTY ON HOW THE PRECIPITATION WILL
UNFOLD MOVING INTO WEDNESDAY EVENING AND NIGHT. FAIRLY STRONG WAVE
ROTATES THROUGH THE AREA FROM THE MAIN UPPER LOW OVER THE NORTHERN
ROCKIES. SURFACE LOW LIFTS NORTHEAST ACROSS OUR WESTERN FORECAST
AREA WITH ATTENDANT COLD FRONT GRADUALLY SHIFTING EASTWARD THROUGH
THE FORECAST AREA INTO THURSDAY MORNING. THE MAIN QUESTION IS WHERE
THIS BOUNDARY SETS UP AND HOW FAR EAST IT ADVANCES THROUGH THURSDAY.
THUNDERSTORMS BECOME LIKELY LATE WEDNESDAY EVENING INTO THE EARLY
MORNING HOURS. THE AREA APPEARS TO BE WELL CAPPED EVEN WITH HOT
SURFACE TEMPERATURES...BUT THINK THAT THIS SHOULD BE OVERCOME BY THE
STRONG WAVE AND FRONTAL BOUNDARIES. STORMS THAT DO DEVELOP SHOULD GO
SEVERE WITH VERY HIGH INSTABILITY AND STEEP LAPSE RATES...HOWEVER
SHEAR INITIALLY IS MARGINAL. BETTER DIRECTIONAL SHEAR DEVELOPS LATE
EVENING AND EARLY MORNING BUT THE LOW LEVEL JET NEVER REALLY REVS UP
OVER OUR AREA. EXPECT VERY LARGE HAIL...STRONG WINDS AS THE MAIN
THREAT WITH A SMALL THREAT FOR TORNADOES EARLY IN THE EVENING.
AROUND MIDNIGHT AND INTO THE EARLY MORNING...THE THREAT WILL
TRANSITION MORE TO STRONG WINDS. HEAVY RAINFALL WILL AGAIN BE A
CONCERN AND WILL NEED TO BE WATCHED CLOSELY GIVEN THE RECENT
FLOODING ISSUES AND PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES UP ABOVE 1.5 ONCE
AGAIN. WILL HOLD OFF ON ANY ADDITIONAL HEADLINES UNTIL THERE IS A
BIT MORE CERTAINTY.

FURTHER OUT CERTAINTY REMAINS QUITE LOW. A SLOW MOVING UPPER LOW
GRADUALLY MEANDERS ALONG THE CANADIAN BORDER THROUGH THE REMAINDER
OF THE WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND. THIS WILL KEEP THE PATTERN FAIRLY
ACTIVE WITH QUASI-ZONAL FLOW LOCKED OVER THE REGION AND SEVERAL
WAVES TRACKING ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS. DID NOT ALTER THE
ALLBLEND POPS WHICH BRING IN LOW END CHANCES OF PRECIPITATION TO
SOME PART OF THE FORECAST AREA NEARLY EVERY PERIOD. TEMPERATURES
COOL A BIT BEHIND THE FRONT ON THURSDAY AND HOLD NEAR OR JUST ABOVE
AVERAGE INTO THE EXTENDED.
