AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ABERDEEN SD
1126 AM CST THU JAN 8 2015

.UPDATE...
FOR NOW WILL STICK WITH CURRENT HEADLINES AS WORST VSBY SEEMS
CONFINED TO SNOW SHOWERS WHICH ARE SOMEWHAT TRANSIENT. UPDATES
ALREADY ISSUED.

18Z TAF UPDATE BELOW...

&&
.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY

MAIN ISSUE THIS MORNING WAS DETERMINING APPROPRIATE HEADLINES FOR
TODAY. EVERYTHING STILL IN LINE FOR STRONG WINDS DEVELOPING TODAY
BUT THE BIG QUESTION IS JUST HOW WIDESPREAD AND LOW WILL THE
VISIBILITIES BE TODAY. OPTED FOR A WINTER WX ADVISORY BUT FEEL IT
WILL BE BORDERLINE GROUND BLIZZARD FOR SOME LOCATIONS. UPGRADES
MAY BE NECESSARY LATER THIS MORNING. BSII INDEX WAS SHOWING ABOUT
1 TO 1.5...ALTHOUGH NOT SEEING ANY MUCAPE IN THE MIXED LAYER TO
HELP LOFT SNOW. BUT...WIND SPEEDS ALONE WILL BE ENOUGH TO
CREATE PROBLEMS...JUST DO NOT HAVE A GOOD FEEL IF IT WILL BE
SEVERE ENOUGH FOR WIDESPREAD ONE-QUARTER MILE OR LESS VSBY. FEEL
IT WOULD BE MORE OF A SLAM DUNK CASE TOO IF THERE WAS FALLING SNOW
AS WELL...BUT IT WILL BE MOSTLY FROM EVERYTHING THAT IS CURRENTLY
ON THE GROUND...SO AREAS THAT HAVE A DEEPER AND FLUFFIER SNOW
COVER WILL SEE THE WORST CONDITIONS...WHEREAS AREAS OVER THE FAR
NORTHEAST CWA WITH LESSER SNOW WILL PROBABLY SEE MINIMAL ISSUES
TODAY. BUT THIS NEEDS TO BE WATCHED AS WELL AS THE FAR NORTHEAST
MAY BE IMPACTED BY FALLING SNOW THIS MORNING BEFORE THE STRONGEST
WINDS MOVE IN. AMOUNTS WILL ONLY BE A FEW TENTHS AT BEST THOUGH.
JUST WENT WITH A BLANKETED APPROACH FOR A WINTER WX ADVISORY AS
ONE WOULD ALMOST HAVE TO ISSUE A BLIZZARD WARNING FOR THE ENTIRE
AREA WEST OF I-29 IF ONE WERE TO GO THAT ROUTE. FEEL CENTRAL SOUTH
DAKOTA MAY ACTUALLY HAVE THE WORST CONDITIONS TODAY AS WINDS ARE
TYPICALLY STRONGER OUT THERE...AND PIERRE IS REPORTING A 4 INCH
SNOW DEPTH...1 INCH OF THAT HAVING FALLEN IN JANUARY. MOBRIDGE IS
REPORTING 4 INCH SNOW DEPTH...BUT WITH A FRESH 2.6 THE OTHER DAY.
WIND CHILL ADVISORY WILL BE NEEDED TONIGHT AFTER THE BLOWING SNOW
HEADLINES BUT WILL LET DAY SHIFT SORT THAT OUT.

.LONG TERM...SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY

MODELS CONTINUE TO INDICATE DRY WEATHER IN THE EXTENDED. ZONAL
FLOW ALOFT AT THE START OF THE PERIOD WILL TRANSLATE TO A BUILDING
RIDGE BY MID WEEK. TEMPERATURES WILL MODERATE UNDER THIS RIDGE TO
NEAR OR EVEN ABOVE AVERAGE BY TUESDAY OR WEDNESDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...
18Z TAFS FOR THE KABR...KATY...KPIR AND KMBG TERMINALS

STRONG NORTHWEST WINDS AND LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS RESULTING IN BLOWING
SNOW FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS...RESULTING IN IFR/MVFR VISBY. CIGS
ARE ALSO AROUND THE MVFR/VFR. IMPROVING CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED BY
THE LATE AFTERNOON AS WINDS SLOWLY SUBSIDE.
