Area Forecast Discussion

.SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Friday Night)
Issued at 328 PM CDT WED AUG 10 2016

The first round of convection quickly getting going on the WAA along
the ND/SD border has mainly stayed to the north, and been limited
across SD through 1945Z. Will continue to monitor as several
boundaries are now set up across the CWA. This primes us for later
this afternoon. Continue to have Severe Thunderstorm watch 439 in
effect until 8pm CDT this evening. Starting to see more cells
rapidly pop up east of ABR just before 20Z as the heat index values
rise above 100 across much of the area, with the dewpoint already up
to 75 at ABR. Small scale models have been of little help this
afternoon. The HiRes-ARW was one of the most promising solutions,
but had a bowing feature over northeastern SD at this time. Will
continue to monitor the current trends.

The second round of convection should be centered closer to the sfc
low southwest of PIR. Timing is still a concern with the evening
convection, but wind and hail look to be the main threats. Much of
the area also remains in the 5% tornado area, or probability of a
tornado within 25 miles of a point. Good shear and an intensifying
LLJ will be the story tonight. DCAPE values will be over 1000j/kg.
Am also concerned about the heavy rain potential with any stronger
storms as PW values are closer to 2-2.25in along northern SD and
eastern SD/west central MN through around 09Z. Consensus is to have
the thunderstorm activity restricted to the eastern third of the CWA
after 06Z Thursday, as the low slow moving sfc low slides to our
southeast counties by daybreak Thursday. Still have slow chance pops
going through the day over eastern SD and west central MN, but
severe potential will be off to our southeast during the day
Thursday.

Otherwise through Friday night, the trend will be slowly increasing
pressure with temperatures returning to near normal values Thursday
and Friday afternoon on northerly winds on the back side of the low.

.LONG TERM...(Saturday through Wednesday)
Issued at 328 PM CDT WED AUG 10 2016

An upper trough will finish exiting to the northeast on Saturday. A
broad ridge will build in for the start of next week. However, by
Monday night weak sfc low pressure and a few weak shortwaves will
traverse the Dakotas. At the moment, the energy does not seem
sufficient to overcome drier air near the sfc so pops remain low in
the forecast. Cannot completely rule out a shower or two Mon through
Wednesday. Temperatures will rise into the upper 80s to lower 90s
under the ridge.

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Thursday Afternoon)
Issued at 1238 PM CDT WED AUG 10 2016

An area of low pressure will be affecting the region today and
tonight. There will be two rounds of storms. The first round
associated with a warm front will mainly affect KABR and possibly
KATY this afternoon. The second round will begin this evening as
the cold front sweeps through and will impact all sites from west
to east between 23z and 12z. VFR conditions are expected at all
sites with the exception of KATY which is struggling to clear out
some patchy stratus. VSBY and cigs may fall to MVFR/IFR in
stronger thunderstorms.
