1113 AM CST Sun Dec 18 2016
.UPDATE...
Issued at 1025 AM CST Sun Dec 18 2016
Temperatures and wind chills are still bitterly cold this morning,
but conditions are slowly improving. South to southwest are
picking up while temps slowly rise, but wind chill readings are
still in the 25 below zero to 45 below zero range for most areas.
Wind Chill Warning remains in effect until 18Z. Otherwise, will
see some mid and high level clouds moving through today as highs
struggle to reach the single digits and teens. Some areas across
the eastern CWA may fail to reach zero today.
&&
.SHORT TERM...(Today through Tuesday Afternoon)
Issued at 320 AM CST Sun Dec 18 2016
Records have fallen for December 17th minimum temperatures, and
again for December 18th. It's been -37 at ABR, shattering the 1951
record of -28 for December 18th. Even Watertown has fallen into the
-30 range, breaking the 1983 record of -24.
All this cold air should help freeze more of the Missouri River/Lake
Oahe. Other than a 2 hour break from SCT-BKN clouds at PIR between
14 and 17Z Saturday, and now since 06Z, they had been stuck in
clouds for well over a day and a half. Wind shifts have made all
the difference, currently bringing the clouds to western Potter and
Sully Counties.
The sfc high centered across NE and western KS early this morning,
extends a ridge across eastern SD. With winds of 3-10kts, wind chill
readings have fallen into the 30 to 50F range across most sites. It
will take until closer to 18Z before most sites rise above -25 wind
chill. Will keep the current Wind Chill Warning headlines in place
as is.
Warm air advection will increase this afternoon, as the sfc ridge
shifts into eastern MN and deeper low pressure slides northern
Alberta. Expect temps to rise into the single digits above zero
across much of the area today on increasing south-southwesterly
winds. These winds will be most pronounced over the Coteau region of
eastern SD, as 925 mb winds of 40 to 45 knots develop with a
strengthening inversion. Blowing snow will be a concern with these
winds. Will need to monitor observations later tonight into early
Monday morning. Winds may temporarily decrease to around 20kts or
less Monday afternoon, before increasing again in the same area
Monday night.
Temperatures may top out in the 30s on Tuesday, a 60 degree change
from our current conditions.
.LONG TERM...(Tuesday Evening through Saturday)
Issued at 320 AM CST Sun Dec 18 2016
The models and gefs ensembles all indicate that the Tuesday
night/Wednesday short wave trough coming across the region may be
more significant than previously shown with better chances of snow.
With highs in the upper 20s to the mid 30s, there may be the
possibility of a mix in central sd. Thus, increased pops a little
with this system. Otherwise, the upper level flow continues from the
west to northwest through the period. The models show another short
wave trough coming across the region Thursday night through Friday
night. The GFS and EC both showed indications of light qpf with this
system along with a cold front dropping in behind Friday night.
Superblend had it dry at this time and suspect it will be adding
something in next time around if models continue to be consistent.
Temperatures from Wednesday through Friday look to be above normal
in the mid 20s to the mid 30s with a cool down for Saturday with
highs back into the teens and lower 20s.

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Monday Afternoon)

VFR conditions for all terminals. Could see wind shear conditions
overnight with a wind out of the southwest at around 35kts just
off the surface.

IRIS SYSTEMSpecial weather statement, Dec 18, 11:32 AM CST, 22 minutes before
Special Weather Statement National Weather Service Aberdeen SD 1132 AM CST Sun Dec 18 2016 SDZ008-021-190300- Roberts-Grant- Including the cities of...Sisseton...Milbank 1132 AM CST Sun Dec 18 2016 Locally strong and gusty winds are expected along the eastern slopes of the Sisseton Hills today and tonight. Westerly winds of 25 to 35 mph with occasional gusts over 50 mph are likely through the afternoon and evening. Winds will increase tonight with gusts over 60 mph possible. The locations most affected will be the higher terrain areas of the Sisseton Hills as well as up to 15 miles east of the hills. This includes Interstate 29 between Summit and Peever...or between mile markers 210 and 225. U.S. Highway 12 from Summit to Milbank may also experience strong winds. The strong winds will promote blowing and drifting snow...along with very low visibility and possible white out conditions. Anyone with travel plans across far northeast South Dakota should be prepared for inclement weather and are urged to slow down and allow for extra distance between vehicles if need be. Connelly
