Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Aberdeen SD 859 PM CDT MON AUG 8 2016 .UPDATE... Issued at 859 PM CDT MON AUG 8 2016 Line of storms in southwest SD heading east this evening towards our western cwa. Some warnings have been issued with this line. It looks like they will weaken as they move into our western cwa. Increased pops some for the rest of the evening and may have to increase them a little more. Updated forecast. UPDATE Issued at 647 PM CDT MON AUG 8 2016 00z aviation discussion updated below. && .SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Wednesday Night) Issued at 321 PM CDT MON AUG 8 2016 Conditions are setting up for a more active pattern across the area over the next couple of days. The CWA is currently situated between high pressure to the east and low pressure to the west, with southerly flow bringing in more moisture and warmer air. The low to the west will become more southwest to northeast oriented on Tuesday, with the associated warm front stretching across the state through late Wednesday. With this boundary in the area, will see precipitation chances increase by Tuesday night, with best chances likely to occur Tuesday night across the entire area, then Wednesday night across the east as a fairly hefty cap builds over the west. A low level jet and stronger instability look to focus across the west Tuesday night and more to the east Wednesday night as well. Therefore, will keep a schc pop going tonight into Tuesday, with an increase in pops through the rest of the period. Very warm temperatures expected the next few days, with highs in the upper 80s to upper 90s. Overnight lows in the 60s will be common tonight, then look for upper 60s to lower 70s for lows Tuesday night and Wednesday night. .LONG TERM...(Thursday through Monday) Issued at 321 PM CDT MON AUG 8 2016 The sfc low should be directly overhead at 12Z Thursday, and slowly sink to our southeast by mid afternoon, making it to southern MN and central IA by the end of the day. The result will be a return to more normal high temperatures on Thursday. The unsettled weather will not be completely gone though as the sfc high will be slow to move overhead late Saturday into Sunday morning. The 500MB trough over the western half of the nation Thursday morning will only slowly shift eastward to the Northern and Central Plains Friday. The back side of this trough will be oriented east to west from the parent low across western Ontario to northern ND-MT Saturday afternoon. This wave should cross our area Saturday night into early Sunday. Behind that, a high amplitude 500MB ridge will then build across the central portions of the nation Sunday afternoon through at least Monday. The pressure gradient will increase Monday, in advance of the next low over eastern MT-WY. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Tuesday Evening) Issued at 647 PM CDT MON AUG 8 2016 Vfr conditions are expected at all locations through tonight and Tuesday. && .ABR Watches/Warnings/Advisories...
