Area forecast discussion, Jul 16, 2:09 PM MDT, 1 hour 2 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Aberdeen SD 309 PM CDT SAT JUL 16 2016 .SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Monday Night) Issued at 304 PM CDT SAT JUL 16 2016 The potential for severe storms from now through 9Z will be the main forecast challenge. Currently, a fairly impressive upper level jet streak is moving across the region. This jet, combined with a shortwave over North Dakota is producing convection along Highway 212 in central SD. These storms have been marginally severe at times with gusty winds and small hail possible. These storms should progress eastward through late this afternoon, possibly becoming stronger. Additional storms have been ongoing all day over western North Dakota. Several CAMS suggest these storms will eventually track southeastward across northeast SD and western MN later tonight. Damaging winds will be the main threat with these storms. There is the potential for additional thunderstorms between 3-9Z south of Highway 212 or closer to Highway 14. Current water vapor suggests a shortwave is currently crossing Wyoming. This shortwave should reach SD after 0Z, which should initiate elevated convection. DCAPE is fairly high, based on the NAM, which suggests damaging winds. The rest of the short term looks dry with seasonal temperatures thanks to a surface high pressure. .LONG TERM...(Tuesday through Saturday) Issued at 304 PM CDT SAT JUL 16 2016 The extended is still looking warm, at least at the start, with scattered chances for showers and thunderstorms. A ridge over the region on Tuesday will build further on Wednesday. Tuesday and Wednesday will also see good mixing at the sfc ahead of a sfc low moving off the Rockies. For this reason, bumped temps up above Superblend on Wednesday. The current forecast calls for temps 100 or in the southwestern cwa near Pierre. It is possible areas as far east as the James River could see temps soar to 100 on Wednesday. On Thursday, decided to stick with slightly cooler temps in the 90s. An upper low will be moving through North Dakota through the day. This system, coupled with a sfc low over South Dakota that will keep winds from mixing efficietly, could result in suppressed upper level temps and clouds especially across the northern tier counties of SD. Temps will cool into the 80s to lower 90s for the end of the week as the upper trough trails to the east. There is no definitive period for tstorms. Best chances may come across eastern SD and west central MN as the upper trough shifts east Thu night. Another weak sfc low may bring additional chances across the I-90 corridor Saturday night. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Sunday Afternoon) Issued at 1227 PM CDT SAT JUL 16 2016 VFR conditions are expected through the period except in or near thunderstorms. The storm forecast is still uncertain at this time. Only have a VCTS mention at KATY this evening for now. May need to add a mention in at either KMBG or KABR by the 0z TAF issuance for storms occurring between 0z and 9z. && .ABR Watches/Warnings/Advisories... SD...NONE.
