AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SIOUX FALLS SD
1131 AM CST THU JAN 16 2014

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 1033 AM CST THU JAN 16 2014

SNOW DEVELOPMENT HAD EXPANDED...OBVIOUSLY TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE
MOIST VERY UNSTABLE LOW LEVEL AIR ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE
APPROACHING ARCTIC FRONT...THIS WE HAVE BEEN WATCHING SINCE
YESTERDAY. THE LIFT IS BEING PROVIDED BY THE STRONG SHORT WAVE
THE FRONT IS ASSOCIATED WITH. ALSO...WINDS WHICH HAVE SLACKED OFF
A LITTLE IN THE NORTHEAST HALF WILL PICK UP AGAIN WITH AND BEHIND
THE FRONT. THIS MEANS MORE NEW SNOW THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON WITH
THE STRONG WINDS TO BLOW IT...AND A NEED TO EXPAND THE BLIZZARD
WARNING SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH...WITH HURON TO SIOUX FALLS TO SPENCER
IA NOW INCLUDED. THE REST OF THE HIGH WIND WARNING STILL LOOKS
GOOD.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 458 AM CST THU JAN 16 2014

MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS FOR TODAY CONTINUE TO BE HIGH WINDS AND
BLIZZARD CONDITIONS OVER PORTIONS OF THE AREA. AS OF 4 AM ARCTIC
FRONT IS MAKING ITS WAY SOUTH OVER EASTERN NORTH DAKOTA AND WEST
CENTRAL MINNESOTA. AS EXPECTED SEEING AN AREA OF SNOW SHOWERS AND
ENHANCED MIXING ALONG AND BEHIND THIS FRONT...WITH BOTH FARGO AND
GRAND FORKS SEEING VISIBILITIES DROP DOWN TO UNDER A MILE WITH WIND
GUSTS AROUND 50 KTS. VAD WIND PROFILES SHOW AROUND 50 TO 60 KTS AT
1500 FEET OFF THE SURFACE. BUT AT THIS TIME THE LACK OF COLD AIR
ADVECTION IS KEEPING THE NEAR SURFACE LAYER STABLE ENOUGH TO PREVENT
MUCH OF THIS FROM MIXING TO THE SURFACE. ALTHOUGH WE ARE STARTING TO
SEE PERIODIC GUSTS BETWEEN 40 AND 50 MPH OUT THERE. AM WORRIED ABOUT
A PERIOD OF ENHANCED MIXING THIS MORNING THOUGH. THIS HAS HAPPENED
UPSTREAM WITH GUSTS OF 60 TO 70 MPH ACROSS PORTIONS OF CENTRAL NORTH
DAKOTA AND AT ABERDEEN. TOUGH TO PIN DOWN EXACTLY WHY THIS BURST OF
WINDS IS OCCURRING...BUT IF IT CONTINUES TO SURGE SOUTHEASTWARD...WE
COULD SEE VERY STRONG GUSTS ACROSS PORTIONS OF OUR CWA EARLY TO MID
MORNING. SUNRISE MAY ALSO HELP US BEGIN TO MIX INTO THESE STRONGER
WINDS ALOFT. ARCTIC FRONT IS PROJECTED TO MOVE INTO SOUTHWEST
MINNESOTA BY 14 TO 16Z...APPROACH INTERSTATE 29 BY AROUND 16 TO
17Z...AND THE MISSOURI RIVER BY 18Z. EXPECT ANOTHER BURST OF
STRONGER WINDS BEHIND THIS FRONT AS WELL. THUS IN GENERAL SUSTAINED
NORTHWESTERLY WINDS OF 30 TO 45 MPH CAN BE EXPECTED FOR MUCH OF THE
DAY...WITH GUSTS OF 50 TO 60 MPH. A FEW GUSTS AROUND 65 MPH SEEM
POSSIBLE AS WELL BOTH AHEAD OF AND BEHIND THE ARCTIC FRONT.

SECOND CONCERN IS SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW. ONE AREA OF LIGHT SNOW IS
CURRENTLY ENTERING OUR NORTHERN CWA. FOR THE MOST PART UPSTREAM
VISIBILITIES HAVE NOT BEEN TOO BAD WITH THIS FIRST BURST OF
SNOW...ALTHOUGH WATERTOWN HAS BEEN BELOW A MILE. THUS NOT THINKING
WIDESPREAD WHITEOUT CONDITIONS WITH THIS FIRST BATCH THIS
MORNING...ALTHOUGH THERE CERTAINLY COULD BE AREAS WHERE VISIBILITIES
DROP BELOW A MILE...WITH BRIEF NEAR WHITEOUT CONDITIONS. SHOULD SEE
ANOTHER AREA OF SNOW SHOWERS MOVE ACROSS THE CWA WITH THE ARCTIC
FRONT PASSAGE. THE BOUNDARY LAYER ACTUALLY BECOMES UNSTABLE WITH
STEEP LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES ASSOCIATED WITH THE COLD AIR INTRUSION.
THIS IS USUALLY A GOOD SIGN FOR SNOW SHOWERS...AND A FEW BRIEFLY
HEAVIER SNOW SQUALLS. LOOKS LIKE JUST ABOUT THE WHOLE
CWA...ESPECIALLY ALONG AND EAST OF THE JAMES RIVER...ARE OPEN TO
THIS POSSIBILITY. THUS THERE COULD BE PERIODS OF VISIBILITY BELOW A
MILE...WITH BRIEF NEAR WHITEOUT CONDITIONS...JUST ABOUT ANYWHERE
FROM ABOUT MID MORNING INTO EARLY AFTERNOON.

THE BIGGER QUESTION MARK IS WHAT HAPPENS DURING THE
AFTERNOON BEHIND THE ARCTIC FRONT. SUBSIDENCE AND DRYING SLOWLY
WORKS IN FROM THE TOP DOWN IN THE PROFILE. THE DEEPEST COLD AIR AND
MOISTURE IS DEFINITELY IN OUR EAST CLOSER TO THE UPPER LOW. THUS
THIS AREA HAS THE BEST OPPORTUNITY OF SEEING INSTABILITY SNOW
SHOWERS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS. AS MENTIONED ABOVE...ANY
HEAVIER SNOW SHOWERS WILL RESULT IN NEAR WHITEOUT CONDITIONS GIVEN
THE VERY STRONG WINDS. IT IS JUST A MATTER OF WHERE THE SNOW SHOWERS
ARE PERSISTENT ENOUGH TO RESULT IN WIDESPREAD BLIZZARD CONDITIONS.
DID REMOVE HURON FROM THE BLIZZARD WARNING...AS BELIEVE THE SNOW
SHOWERS WILL BE ISOLATED ENOUGH TO PREVENT THESE WIDESPREAD WHITEOUT
CONDITIONS. UNCERTAIN FURTHER EAST TOO...BUT WILL KEEP THE BLIZZARD
WARNING...AND THE DAY SHIFT CAN MONITOR TRENDS. THE BLIZZARD WARNING
AREA DEFINITELY HAS THE BEST CHANCE OF SEEING PERSISTENT ENOUGH SNOW
SHOWERS TO RESULT IN VERY POOR VISIBILITY. AND IF WE DO GET AROUND
AN INCH OF NEW SNOW...WHICH IS VERY POSSIBLE...GIVEN THE GLACIATED
SNOW COVER...THIS SNOW WILL IMMEDIATELY BE LOFTED AND BLOW.

TEMPERATURES WILL BE AT THERE WARMEST THIS MORNING...GENERALLY 30S.
THEY WILL CRASH FROM NORTH TO SOUTH THROUGH THE DAY...DROPPING INTO
THE SINGLE DIGITS AND TEENS BY EVENING EAST OF THE JAMES RIVER. LOWS
TONIGHT WILL BE BELOW ZERO OVER THE NORTHEAST HALF OF THE AREA...AND
THE SINGLE DIGITS AND TEENS WEST OF THE JAMES RIVER. WINDS WILL
SLOWLY SUBSIDE THROUGH THE NIGHT. ALTHOUGH WIND CHILL VALUES ARE
EXPECTED TO DROP TO AROUND 25 BELOW ZERO ALONG AND EATS OF A
BROOKINGS TO SPENCER LINE. THE DAY SHIFT MAY NEED TO CONSIDER A WIND
CHILL ADVISORY AFTER THE HIGH WIND WARNING EXPIRES.

.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 458 AM CST THU JAN 16 2014

FRIDAY WILL BE ANOTHER COOL DAY ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF OF THE
REGION AS THE SURFACE RIDGE EXPANDS EASTWARD ACROSS THE NORTHERN
PLAINS...LEAVING NORTHERLY FLOW IN PLACE FOR MUCH OF THE DAY FOR
AREAS EAST OF I29. TO THE WEST...LIGHT RETURN FLOW GRADUALLY
DEVELOPS IN SOUTH CENTRAL SD IN THE AFTERNOON...AND SHOULD HELP
BOOST HIGHS INTO THE 30S WEST OF THE JAMES RIVER. MID LEVEL WARM AIR
ADVECTION SLOWLY BUILDS EASTWARD FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING WHILE
A FAIRLY POTENT CLIPPER WAVE DIVES SOUTH SOUTHEAST THROUGH MINNESOTA
FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING. WHILE THIS WAVE DOES APPEAR
TO BE TRENDING STRONGER WITH EACH RUN...THE FORECAST TRACK HAS BEEN
NUDGING SLIGHTLY TO THE EAST. THE MAIN IMPACT TO OUR FORECAST AREA
WILL BE ANOTHER ROUND OF WINDY CONDITIONS...ALBEIT NOT NEARLY AS
EXTREME AS WHAT WE WILL BE SEEING TODAY. STILL...LOOKS LIKE SOLID
WIND ADVISORY CONDITIONS FOR THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA ON SATURDAY.
OTHERWISE...THERE IS A LOW CHANCE FOR SOME LIGHT SNOW MAINLY NEAR
THE BUFFALO RIDGE FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY MORNING...BUT ANY
ACCUMULATION WOULD BE WELL UNDER AN INCH IF SNOW DOES OCCUR.

THE UPCOMING WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK OVERALL LOOKS DRY WITH
PREDOMINANT NORTHWEST UPPER LEVEL FLOW. TEMPERATURES WARM SATURDAY
AND SUNDAY...POTENTIALLY REACHING THE 40S FOR MOST OF THE FORECAST
AREA AND EVEN SOME LOW 50S IN SOUTH CENTRAL. MODELS SHOWING BETTER
CONSENSUS ON BRINGING COOLER TEMPERATURES INTO THE AREA MONDAY AND
TUESDAY WITH THE ARRIVAL OF THE NEXT WAVE. CLIPPER WAVE AROUND THE
TUESDAY/TUESDAY NIGHT TIME FRAME COULD BRING SOME LIGHT SNOW TO THE
BUFFALO RIDGE ONCE AGAIN...BUT WILL LEAVE OUT MENTION FOR NOW WITH
TIMING AND RUN TO RUN INCONSISTENCIES.
