Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Aberdeen SD
425 AM CST Thu Dec 22 2016

.SHORT TERM...(Today through Saturday Afternoon)
Issued at 420 AM CST Thu Dec 22 2016

Models continue to advertise cooler temperatures today with highs
in the upper 20s, to the mid 30s. A strong inversion over much to
the CWA today is the cause for the cooler temps. It appears as
though the warmest temperatures today will occur over our higher
terrain areas, while valleys are a few degrees cooler. Have
increased highs on the western edge of the James River Valley, and
lowered highs in the James.

A weak shortwave and surface front will cross the region later
tonight into Friday morning with light snow possible in the eastern
CWA. While QPF is rather low, there is the potential for higher
amounts. This system will have good integrated water transport via
strong 850 mb winds. PWATS are shown to increase above a half inch,
which is above the 90th percentile. With good moisture, would not be
surprised if some area receive an inch or two of snow by Friday
morning. Drier and cooler temperatures will move into the region for
Friday night and Saturday.

.LONG TERM...(Saturday Evening through Wednesday)
Issued at 420 AM CST Thu Dec 22 2016

Very good agreement and consistency now with the models and GEFS
ensembles with an impending winter storm to affect the region for
Christmas into Monday. Indications still show the best deep layer
lift and resultant precipitation will move into the region on Sunday
continuing into Monday morning. The issue still will be the
precipitation type with the surface air temperatures, snow cover
influence, along with road temperature questions. The models all
show a surface low pressure area in northeast Colorado Sunday
morning lifting northeast across Nebraska, eastern South Dakota into
northeast Minnesota by 12z Monday morning. The track will be very
important on the dividing line between rain/mixed precip/snow. Have
not changed this zone much from the previous forecast. The models
all indicate a good warm surge in advance of the surface low
pressure area on Sunday. Believe the temperatures will be warm
enough in the southeast CWA for rain with freezing on the roads
until the roads warm up. As you move northwest and west, the colder
air at the surface will dominate with temperatures at or below
freezing with warm air aloft riding over. This will be the
transition zone with freezing rain/sleet/snow. Areas mainly west of
the Missouri river are expected to be snow and heavy at times. There
could be some significant icing with this system along with heavy
snow. Based on the strong winds off the surface of 40 to 50 knots
mixing down along with a tight surface pressure gradient, expect
widespread blowing snow to develop out west Sunday afternoon. This
will spread east as much colder air moves into the region Sunday
night and the precipitation changes to all snow. Thus, increased
superblend winds quite a bit for this time and increased the blowing
snow coverage area.

With the increased certainty, will issue a blizzard watch for north
central SD and for Jones and Stanley in central SD. Also, with
the increased likelihood of mixed precipitation, especially along
and west of the James Valley along with the change over to snow
and very strong winds, will issue a Winter Storm Watch. Will hold
off across the east as difficult to determine the amount
rain/freezing rain and subsequent icing at this time. The snow
will end and winds will decrease on Monday with continued areas of
blowing snow.

The rest of the long term looks to be mainly dry with west to west
northwest flow aloft with weak short waves coming over with a
stronger one Wednesday. Have it dry at this time with highs mostly
in the 20s.
