AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SIOUX FALLS SD
1241 PM CDT MON JUN 16 2014

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 1241 PM CDT MON JUN 16 2014

HAVE ADJUSTED FOR THE TENDENCY FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS TO BECOME
CONCENTRATED NORTH AND EAST WITH TIME...IN ADDITION TO THE SEVERE
STORM/TORNADO WATCH CHANGES. ALSO TEMPERATURES WILL FAIL TO WARM
TO EARLIER EXPECTATIONS UNDER THE RAIN AND CLOUD COVER.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 433 AM CDT MON JUN 16 2014

CONTINUED ACTIVE FORECAST ACROSS THE AREA WITH WARM FRONT LIFTING
NORTH THROUGHOUT THE DAY.  AS OF 09Z...SATELLITE SHOWED AN AREA OF
MID LEVEL CLOUDS DEVELOPING ACROSS CENTRAL NEBRASKA ON THE NORTHERN
EDGE OF THE LOW LEVEL JET ACROSS THE PLAINS.  THE LOW LEVEL JET WILL
EFFICIENTLY TRANSPORT MOISTURE NORTHWARD WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER
VALUES JUMPING FROM AROUND 0.7-1 INCH THIS MORNING TO AROUND AN INCH
AND A HALF AS THE WARM FRONT LIFTS NORTH.

SHORT TERM HI RES MODELS SHOW AREA OF CONVECTION DEVELOPING ACROSS
NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA THEN LIFTING NORTHEAST THROUGHOUT THE DAY.
EXPECTATION IS THAT STORMS WOULD BE ELEVATED INITIALLY...BUT WOULD
HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BECOME INCREASINGLY SURFACE BASED AS
TEMPERATURES WARM INTO THE MID AND UPPER 70S.  MODEL SOUNDING SHOW
MODEST SPEED SHEAR IN THE LOW LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE...WITH STRONG
SPEED AND DIRECTIONAL SHEAR ALOFT. 0-6KM BULK SHEAR IS SOMEWHERE IN
THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF 50-60 KNOTS...AND WITH WARM FRONT LIFTING NORTH
THROUGH THE DAY...ALL FORMS OF SEVERE WEATHER ARE POSSIBLE TODAY.

STILL SOME QUESTIONS AS TO HOW DAY WILL EVOLVE...BUT THINK THE BEST
CHANCE FOR TORNADOES WILL BE THIS AFTERNOON ALONG THE WARM FRONT.
SOME OF THE HI RES MODELS SHOW FAVORED AREA OF DEVELOPMENT WILL BE
ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE COMPLEX OF STORMS AS IT LIFTS TO THE
NORTHEAST...WHILE OTHERS SUGGEST MULTIPLE WAVES OF CONVECTION
DEVELOPING TODAY. HARD TO DECIDE WHICH IS CORRECT...AS ATMOSPHERE
WILL ONLY BE WEAKLY CAPPED FROM MID MORNING ON.  MODELS SUGGEST THAT
WARM FRONT WILL BE LOCATED WITHIN THE VICINITY OF I-90 AT 18Z.  IF
THE BOUNDARY IS ABLE TO MAKE IT THIS FAR NORTH THIS MORNING...THE
POTENTIAL FOR TORNADOES WOULD BE HIGHEST WITH ANY SURFACE BASED
CONVECTION ALONG THIS BOUNDARY AS IT CONTINUES TO WORK NORTH.  WITH
THIS IN MIND...ADDED MENTION OF TORNADOES TO THE ZFP IN PORTIONS OF
SOUTHWEST MINNESOTA THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS.

WITH RECENT RAINS ACROSS THE AREA...FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE IS QUITE
LOW ACROSS EASTERN CWA.  WITH PWAT VALUES APPROACHING 2 STANDARD
DEVIATIONS...SOUTH OF THE WARM FRONT...WENT AHEAD AND ISSUED FLASH
FLOOD WATCH FOR EASTERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH TONIGHT.

IN TERMS OF TEMPERATURES...HAVE LOWERED FORECAST HIGHS IN THE I-29
CORRIDOR WITH THE EXPECTATION OF CONVECTION AROUND. WITH MUGGY
AIRMASS LINGERING ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT...WILL LIKELY SEE SLOW
DIURNAL FALL IN TEMPERATURES OVERNIGHT.

.LONG TERM...(TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 433 AM CDT MON JUN 16 2014

UNSETTLED PATTERN CONTINUES THROUGH MIDWEEK ACROSS THE NORTHERN
PLAINS...THOUGH LOCATION OF BETTER THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WILL BE
SOMEWHAT DEPENDENT ON LOCATION OF BOUNDARIES AND ABILITY TO OVERCOME
FORMIDABLE CAPPING INVERSION WHICH DEVELOPS IN INCREASINGLY WARM AND
HUMID AIR MASS. FOR TUESDAY...MODELS HINTING AT WARM FRONT LOCATED
ACROSS OUR FAR NORTHEAST CWA BY LATE AFTERNOON WITH WEAK MID LEVEL
WAVE LIFTING NORTHEAST ACROSS THE BOUNDARY BY 00Z. WILL KEEP LOW TO
MID CHANCE POPS CONCENTRATED ACROSS THE FAR NORTHEAST CWA IN THE
LATE AFTERNOON/EVENING...THOUGH WITH A LITTLE UNCERTAINTY REGARDING
THE BOUNDARY LOCATION...WILL CARRY A SLIGHT CHANCE AS FAR SOUTH AS
I-90 IN SD...AND KSHL/KSLB LINE IN NORTHWEST IOWA. INSTABILITY IS
STRONG AS TEMPERATURES RISE INTO THE MID 80S TO LOWER 90S...AND DEW
POINTS CLIMB INTO THE LOWER 70S. THIS SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO SUPPORT A
FEW SEVERE STORMS DESPITE RELATIVELY WEAK DEEP LAYER SHEAR...THOUGH
SHEAR WOULD BE LOCALLY ENHANCED NEAR THE BOUNDARY. AGAIN ALL OF THIS
CONTINGENT ON BREAKING THE CAP...SO CONFIDENCE IN SEVERE COVERAGE ON
TUESDAY IS RELATIVELY LOW.

EXPECT ANY EVENING ACTIVITY TO EXIT BY AROUND MIDNIGHT...LEAVING
MOSTLY DRY CONDITIONS LATER TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING AND
GIVING ATMOSPHERE A CHANCE TO RECHARGE FOR WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON/NIGHT
AS STRONGER UPPER TROUGH MOVES FARTHER EASTWARD AND SURFACE WAVE
SHIFTS INTO THE EASTERN DAKOTAS. DAYTIME HOURS MAY AGAIN REMAIN
CAPPED...ESPECIALLY ACROSS OUR SOUTHERN AREAS WITH WARM FRONT MORE
LIKELY STILL POSITIONED NEAR/NORTH OF HIGHWAY 14. PRECIP CHANCES
INCREASE WEDNESDAY NIGHT WITH UPPER TROUGH SWINGING NORTHEASTWARD
INTO THE REGION. AS DEEP LAYER FLOW BECOMES MORE UNIDIRECTIONAL IN
AREAS EAST OF THE SLOW MOVING LOW LEVEL BOUNDARY...THERE IS CONCERN
THAT EASTERN PARTS OF OUR AREA COULD AGAIN SEE SOME LOCALLY HEAVY
RAINFALL AMOUNTS...ESPECIALLY WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES STILL
FORECAST IN THE 1.5+ INCH RANGE.

TUESDAY/WEDNESDAY SHOULD BE THE WARMEST DAYS OF THE WEEK...WITH THE
EXPECTED LACK OF DAYTIME CONVECTION ALLOWING TEMPERATURES TO CLIMB
INTO THE MID 80S TO LOWER 90S BOTH DAYS. COLD FRONT MAKES A PUSH
EAST THROUGH THE AREA THURSDAY...AND WILL SEE A LINGERING CHANCE OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DURING THE DAY...DECREASING BY THURSDAY
NIGHT AS THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY LIFTS NORTHEAST. SOME DISCREPANCIES
AMONG THE MODELS REGARDING EVOLUTION OF UPPER LOW THROUGH THE LATTER
PORTIONS OF THE WEEK. GFS/GEM HOLD ONTO THE CLOSED UPPER LOW ACROSS
THE NORTHERN PLAINS...WHILE ECMWF KICKS IT EAST AND SLOWLY BUILDS A
RIDGE BAND INTO THE PLAINS. DESPITE THE DIFFERENCES...BOTH GFS AND
ECMWF POINT TOWARD A LESS ACTIVE PATTERN FOR OUR REGION THURSDAY
NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY...WITH TEMPERATURES COOLER THAN MIDWEEK...BUT
FAIRLY CLOSE TO SEASONAL NORMALS.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z TUESDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1241 PM CDT MON JUN 16 2014

VFR CONDITIONS WILL LOWER LOCALLY TO CEILINGS 2-3K FEET AND
VISIBILITIES 3-5SM IN SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHRA/TSRA THROUGH
ABOUT 17/03Z. CONVECTION SHOULD END 03Z-06Z BUT AREAS OF CEILINGS
1-3K FEET AND VISIBILITIES 3-5SM/BR ARE EXPECTED AFTER 17/06Z TO
AROUND 17/15Z...THEN VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD BECOME WIDESPREAD.
