Area forecast discussion, Aug 6, 6:59 PM CDT, 27 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SIOUX FALLS SD
659 PM CDT THU AUG 6 2015

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 659 PM CDT THU AUG 6 2015

THREAT FOR STORMS APPEARS TO BE FAIRLY ISOLATED SOUTH OF THE
SUPERCELL ALONG HIGHWAY 14...WITH SURFACE BOUNDARY NOW EXTENDING
FROM EAST OF DE SMET TO AROUND PICKSTOWN. WILL BE LOWERING POPS
MOST AREAS OUTSIDE THE NORTH/NORTHEASTERN CWA. SEVERE THREAT
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE...ESPECIALLY NEAR OUTFLOW BOUNDARY WHERE
SUPERCELL IS TRAVERSING EAST SOUTHEAST FOR NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 244 PM CDT THU AUG 6 2015

LOW PRESSURE MOVING THROUGH NORTHEAST SOUTH DAKOTA IN CENTRAL
MINNESOTA THIS AFTERNOON. ALONG AND AHEAD OF THIS LOW PRESSURE A
WARM FRONT HAS LIFTED NORTHEAST OF THE CWA WHILE TO THE SOUTHWEST OF
THE LOW A BOUNDARY WAS SHIFTING EAST THROUGH CENTRAL SD AN INTO THE
WESTERN CWA. ALONG AND AHEAD OF THIS FRONT SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS
ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP. WITH CAPE VALUES AROUND 1500 J/KG TO 2000
J/KG AND 30 TO 35 KNOTS OF DEEP LAYER BULK SHEAR ISOLATED SEVERE
STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE. HAIL TO THE SIZE OF HALF DOLLARS AND WIND
GUSTS TO 70 MPH WILL BE POSSIBLE. AN ISOLATED TORNADO NOT IMPOSSIBLE
WITH MARGINAL SURFACE TO 1KM WIND SHEAR BUT LFC AND LCL HEIGHTS
LITTLE HIGH SO NOT OVERLY FAVORABLE. THE THREAT FOR THUNDERSTORMS
WILL QUICKLY SHIFT EAST AND SHOULD BE OUT OF THE CWA BY MIDNIGHT.
WINDS BEHIND THE THUNDERSTORMS WILL NOT BE REAL STRONG BUT WEST TO
NORTHWEST ABOUT 10 MPH. LOWS WILL MAINLY BE IN THE 60S.

FRIDAY SHOULD BE A PRETTY NICE DAY WITH WINDS GENERALLY UNDER 15 MPH
AND SEASONAL HUMIDITY WITH DEW POINTS IN THE LOWER TO MID 60S. HIGH
TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE IN THE 80S.

.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 244 PM CDT THU AUG 6 2015

MOST ACTIVE WEATHER IN THE MEDIUM AND EXTENDED PORTIONS OF THE
FORECAST IS FOUND WITH THE FIRST 48 HOURS...FROM FRIDAY NIGHT
THROUGH SUNDAY EVENING. A SUPPRESSED MID-LVL RIDGE WILL CONTINUE TO
PROVIDE RATHER PROGRESSIVE WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT THROUGH THE REGION
INTO THE UPCOMING WEEKEND...WITH THE UPPER RIDGE BEGINNING TO
AMPLIFY BY EARLY NEXT WEEK.

RAIN CHANCES WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE FRIDAY NIGHT INTO
SATURDAY...AS MODELS SUGGEST A WEAK SHORTWAVE PASSING THROUGH THE
REGION OVERNIGHT. FOCUS OF THE LLJ ALONG AN ELEVATED BOUNDARY
PUSHES THE HIGHEST POPS ALONG THE SOUTHERN CORRIDOR OF THE CWA AND
AREAS FURTHER SOUTH INTO IOWA AND NEBRASKA.

BY SATURDAY...A WEAK SFC FRONT WILL FORM NEAR OR NORTH OF THE CWA BY
THE AFTERNOON HOURS. DEPENDING ON THE TIMING OF THIS
BOUNDARY...CONVECTION SHOULD DEVELOP NEAR AND NORTH OF THE BOUNDARY
IN THE EVENING OR OVERNIGHT AS YET ANOTHER WAVE OF ENERGY EJECTS
NORTHEAST OUT OF THE NORTHERN ROCKIES. THIS CONVECTION COULD SAG
SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE NIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING...OR AT THE VERY
LEAST...PUSH A WEAK CONVERGENCE ZONE SOUTHWARD INTO THE CWA ON
SUNDAY. WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE A FEW STRONGER STORMS EARLY
SUNDAY MORNING.  PERHAPS THE NEXT MORE REASONABLE RISK FOR SEVERE
STORMS WILL ARRIVE SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING WITH MODEST
INSTABILITY GROWING ALONG AND NEAR THIS BOUNDARY.  WITH AN INCREASE
IN MID-UPR LVL SPEED SHEAR...STORM ORGANIZATION IS POSSIBLE. RATHER
UNCERTAIN FORECAST GIVEN MANY VARIABLES AT THE MESOSCALE LVL THAT
WILL BE DETERMINED OVERNIGHT.

BY NEXT WEEK...MID-LVL RIDGE OVER THE CENTRAL US WILL BEGIN TO
AMPLIFY SHARPLY. THIS SHOULD PROVIDE A SPELL OF DRIER WEATHER...WITH
TEMPERATURE RUNNING NEAR OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL BY THE MIDDLE AND
END OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z FRIDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 659 PM CDT THU AUG 6 2015

CONVECTIVE THREAT AT TAF LOCATIONS IS LOW ENOUGH TO PRECLUDE ANY
MENTION AT THIS POINT...BUT EVER SO SLIGHTLY MORE PROBABLE FOR
KFSD UNTIL THE PASSAGE OF SURFACE BOUNDARY LATER THIS EVENING.
A FLOW WEAKENS POST FRONTAL LATE EVENING...MAY SEE A LITTLE LIGHT
FOG AROUND KSUX INTO THE EARLY MORNING.
