WISEWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Aberdeen, SD wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Aug 1, 6:27 PM CDT, 4 hours 6 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Aug 1, 6:27 PM CDT, 4 hours 6 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Aberdeen SD 627 PM CDT MON AUG 1 2016 .UPDATE... Issued at 623 PM CDT MON AUG 1 2016 The Severe Thunderstorm Watch remains in effect this evening, though so far the activity has been confined to North Dakota. The expectation is that the potential for storms developing across eastern SD will increase around or just after sunset. Made a few adjustments to pops in the meantime. Also increased cloud cover from Watertown south as an area of stratus is advecting north. && .SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Wednesday Night) Issued at 413 PM CDT MON AUG 1 2016 Latest sat pics and 88D data indicate storms forming over sc North Dakota currently. This is where the SPC meso page indicates the best overlay of supportive convective parameters with decent deep layer/ll shear as well as plenty of ml cape. Expect this area of storms to gradually grow into some sort of MCS, and then potentially move southeast over ne South Dakota this evening. However, confidence in the exact evolution of convection this evening is not particularly high given varying CAM solutions. Nonetheless there will be a threat for hail/wind and perhaps even a brief tornado if any storm can get anchored on the outflow boundary/warm front headed toward southern ND to the east of the north central SD sfc low. The rest of the short range looks mostly dry until late Wednesday as another front moves across the region. The models continue to indicate a fairly decent EML over top that front and thus convection may be limited until Wednesday night when some cooling aloft spreads across the forecast area as strong trof heads across southern Canada. Temperatures overall should be near to above normal through Wednesday. Cooler temperatures are expected later in the week. .LONG TERM...(Thursday through Monday) Issued at 413 PM CDT MON AUG 1 2016 Cold front will be moving out of the area on Thursday and into MN. Any lingering precip over the eastern CWA Thursday morning should be out of the area by afternoon. Cooler and drier air will be moving in on Thursday. After highs in the 90s for many areas on Wednesday, Thursday will drop back down into the low to mid 80s for most areas. Dewpoints will also drop down into the 50s which will feel comfortable. Surface high pressure will move in Thursday night and stick around through the day Friday. This will bring dry conditions, light winds, and pleasant temperatures. The rest of the period sees a small increase in precip chances as models suggest weak embedded waves within mid level flow will cross the region. Did not stray too far from SuperBlend pops at this time based on timing and uncertainty. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Tuesday Evening) Issued at 623 PM CDT MON AUG 1 2016 An area of MVFR stratus is pushing up into KATY this evening and will likely linger then fall to IFR toward morning. Otherwise all sites are VFR. Thunderstorm activity has been confined to ND so far this evening, but there is starting to be some development just west of KABR on some outflow boundaries and also with the front near Corson county which may affect KMBG. && .ABR Watches/Warnings/Advisories...
