LUECKWhat 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 14, 5:41 PM MDT, 1 hour 36 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Aug 14, 5:41 PM MDT, 1 hour 36 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Aberdeen SD 641 PM CDT SUN AUG 14 2016 .UPDATE... Issued at 633 PM CDT SUN AUG 14 2016 A Severe Thunderstorm Watch has been issued. With a developing moderate jet across central SD, some severe storms have already formed this evening. Large hail and strong winds will be the main threats. Current forecast pops cover the storm potential well. && .SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Tuesday Night) Issued at 303 PM CDT SUN AUG 14 2016 A surface high pressure is shifting east of the region this afternoon with return flow developing west river. While surface moisture within the return flow is unimpressive, moisture is increasing at 850 mb. The moisture, along with a weak upper level shortwave currently over Montana, will contribute to convection near the Black Hills this afternoon. As the shortwave progresses eastward tonight, showers and thunderstorms should move across this CWA. Some thunderstorms in south central SD later this evening could become strong with small hail and gusty winds possible. Based on a slow storm motion, locally heavy rainfall will also be possible. Instability diminishes east of the Missouri River with strong storms unlikely. The threat for strong to severe storms on Monday is a little more unclear. A shortwave will be located over the Northern Plains with surface low over central SD. Warm, moist air looks possible ahead of a low pressure system with MU-CAPE values around 2K J/KG. Depending on which model used, 0-6 KM bulk shear values should average between 25 to 35 knots. This setup should be efficient enough for iso/sct severe storms. However moisture return is questionable, as the the position of the surface low. The surface low and upper level shortwave will progress east of the region on Tuesday with conditions drying out. .LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Sunday) Issued at 303 PM CDT SUN AUG 14 2016 The medium range forecast models are coming into better agreement regarding the upcoming pattern change that will occur on Thursday night. Very warm/hot temps with dewpoints in the 60s will occur on Wednesday and Thursday. Thunderstorm chances will increase on Thursday and Thursday night as a strong trough of low pressure brings a potent cold front to the region. The best chances for storms appear to be Thursday evening. After the front moves through, temps will see a considerable cooldown with highs only the low to mid 70s by Saturday and Sunday. Chances of thunderstorms will decrease fairly quickly as the front moves through Friday morning, leaving a cooler and mostly dry weekend. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Monday Evening) Issued at 633 PM CDT SUN AUG 14 2016 VFR conditions are expected through the period except in the vicinity of thunderstorms. An area of storms has developed across western SD and is moving into central SD this evening. Some of these storms may be severe and could impact KMBG or KPIR by 2z. The storms will continue to move east overnight and through the early morning hours, though severe potential is expected to diminish in the east. && .ABR Watches/Warnings/Advisories... SD...NONE.
