AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SIOUX FALLS SD
1000 PM CST SAT JAN 30 2016

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 428 PM CST SAT JAN 30 2016

A PAIR OF SHORTWAVE TROUGHS WILL IMPACT THE AREA THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS TONIGHT. THE NORTHERN WAVE IS MOVING THROUGH THE
NORTHERN FORECAST AREA THIS AFTERNOON. WEAK LIFT AND ABUNDANT MID
AND HIGH CLOUDS BLANKET THE AREA...HOWEVER THE LOW/MID LEVELS REMAIN
QUITE DRY THUS FAR BETWEEN 850 AND 700 MB. A FEW WEAK RADAR ECHOES
HAVE DEVELOPED THIS AFTERNOON...VERY LITTLE TO NO PRECIPITATION HAS
FALLEN. WILL LEAVE MENTION OF A FEW SPRINKLES IN THE FORECAST
THROUGH 6 PM.

BY EARLY EVENING HOWEVER...MID LEVEL FRONTOGENESIS INCREASES ACROSS
THE SOUTHERN BORDER OF OUR CWA...LIFTS SLIGHTLY NORTHWARD THEN
SHIFTS EASTWARD LATE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. WITH THE RIGHT ENTRANCE
REGION OF THE JET MOVING INTO THIS AREA THIS EVENING...THERE SHOULD
BE ENOUGH SUPPORT FOR A NARROW BAND OF LIGHT PRECIPITATION BEGINNING
EARLY EVENING. INITIALLY TEMPERATURE PROFILES SUGGEST THAT THE
PRECIPITATION WILL FALL AS RAIN...BUT AS COOLER TEMPERATURES FILTER
IN FROM THE NORTHWEST OVERNIGHT...WE MIGHT SEE SOME SNOW MIX WITH
THE RAIN. IF PRECIPITATION RATES ARE DECENT ENOUGH...WE COULD EVEN
SEE A CHANGE OVER TO ENTIRELY SNOWFALL AS TEMPERATURES WET BULB.
MODEL SOUNDINGS WOULD TEND TO SUGGEST THAT THE COOLER AIR IS A
LITTLE DELAYED...ARRIVING AS THE PRECIPITATION EXITS THE AREA. NOT A
GREAT DEAL OF CONFIDENCE IN THE SNOW POTENTIAL...BUT COULD SEE A FEW
TENTHS ACROSS NORTHWEST IOWA LATE TONIGHT. BEST POTENTIAL FOR SEEING
MEASURABLE PRECIPITATION IS ACROSS FAR SOUTHEAST SD INTO NORTHWEST
IOWA AND THE I90 CORRIDOR OF SOUTHWEST MINNESOTA.

LIGHT PRECIPITATION MAY LINGER ACROSS OUR FAR SOUTHEAST THROUGH
AROUND MID MORNING. WITH NORTHWEST WINDS AND A LITTLE COLD AIR
ADVECTION EXPECTED BEHIND THIS SYSTEM ON SUNDAY...DO NOT THINK SKIES
WILL COMPLETELY CLEAR OUT. EXPECT AT LEAST SOME STRATOCUMULUS TO
DEVELOP ACROSS THE REGION. WILL GO WITH PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY
SKIES THROUGH THE DAY. TEMPERATURES WILL BE COOLER THAN TODAY...BUT
STILL ABOVE NORMAL IN THE 30S.

.LONG TERM...(SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 428 PM CST SAT JAN 30 2016

PERHAPS A LITTLE STRATOCUMULUS AS SLIGHT COOLING ALOFT OCCURS ON
SUNDAY EVENING...AND WEAK RIDGE ACTS TO DECOUPLE WINDS TO SOME
DEGREE. IDEALLY COULD GET A FEW RANDOM WINDOWS OF BETTER RADIATIONAL
COOLING POTENTIAL...BUT WITH SNOWMELT OF PAST FEW DAYS AND AT LEAST
SOME CLOUD OR WIND...HAVE NOT TAKEN TEMPS AS COOL AS OTHERWISE MIGHT.
QUIET CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE INTO MONDAY...AS FALLING PRESSURES IN
THE SOUTHERN PLAINS WILL START A COOLER AGEOSTROPHIC FEED. THICKENING
HIGH CLOUDS WILL SPREAD NORTHEAST...AND WITH LIGHT WIND AND COOL
ADVECTION REGIME...WILL PROBABLY STRUGGLE A BIT ON THE WARMING SIDE
COMPARED TO RECENT DAYS...WITH MAINLY TEMPS IN THE UPPER 20S TO
LOWER 30S.

MOST SIGNIFICANT FOCUS FOR THE FORECAST IS THE UPCOMING WINTER STORM
SYSTEM. THERE REMAINS A FAIR DEGREE OF UNCERTAINTY IN TRACK OF THE
SURFACE AND UPPER SYSTEM...WHICH IS STILL 25 DEGREES LONGITUDE OFF
THE PACIFIC COAST.  OPERATIONAL GFS IS FAST BUT WELL WITHIN ITS
ENSEMBLE...AND JUST A BIT NORTH OF THE ECMWF. GFS ENSEMBLES HAVE
TERRIFIC SPREADS IN QPF...DISTRIBUTED EVENLY OVER ABOUT AN INCH
RANGE...AND THIS IS AFTER THROWING OUT THE MAX AND MIN VALUES.
NAM IS HORRIFIC SOUTHERLY OUTLIER GIVING ALMOST NO QPF TO THE CWA.
DIFFERENCES SUCH AS THESE ARE LIKELY TO CONTINUE UNTIL SYSTEM
APPROACHES THE MORE DENSE DATA NET OF THE CONUS LATER TOMORROW.
OTHER WILD CARD IS CERTAINLY CONVECTION WITH THE SYSTEM. PLENTY OF
ELEVATED INSTABILITY SOUTH OF THE WAVE TRACK...AND MODELS ARE TRYING
TO PICK UP ON SOME CONVECTIVE PRECIPITATION FROM EASTERN KS TOWARD
SE IA. DEPENDING ON TIMING AND EXTENT...THIS COULD ACT TO DIVERT THE
INFLOW INTO FRONTAL BAND FOR AT LEAST PART OF THE TIME ON
TUESDAY...AND WOULD IMPACT AMOUNTS NEGATIVELY...ESPECIALLY HEADING
NORTH AND WEST AWAY FROM THE HEAVIEST BAND LOCATION. CONSENSUS OF
REGIONAL FORECASTERS WAS TO ALIGN FOR THE TIME TOWARD AN
ECMWF/SLOWER THAN GFS CONSENSUS. THIS WILL LOOK TO TRACK THE BEST
FRONTAL FORCING FROM SOUTHERN NEBRASKA TO NORTHEAST IOWA...CLIPPING
THE FAR SOUTHEASTERN CWA WITH A HEAVY SNOW POTENTIAL ON TUESDAY.

SNOWFALL SHOULD HOLD OFF WITH DRY LOWER LAYERS THROUGH MONDAY
EVENING...THEN WILL SEE A SLOW ENCROACHMENT OF DYNAMIC LIFT AND
DEEPENING MOISTURE PROFILES LATER MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH THE SOUTHERN
CWA. HAVE SLOWED UP THE APPROACH OF PRECIP A BIT FROM EARLIER
FORECAST. AS UPPER WAVE LIFTS FROM KANSAS TO IOWA ON TUESDAY...BAND
OF INTENSE MID LEVEL FRONTOGENESIS DEVELOPS...WITH BEST OF THE 750-
650 HPA FRONTOGENETIC FORCING ALONG THE NORTHWEST FLANK OF DRY SLOT
ACROSS MID IOWA...HUGGING THE SOUTHEASTERN CWA FOR MUCH OF THE LATE
MORNING/AFTERNOON ON TUESDAY. NO SIGNAL OF INSTABILITY OF GREAT
DEGREE ABOVE OUR LOCATION OF THE FRONTAL ZONE...WHICH BRINGS INTO
SOME QUESTION JUST HOW HEAVY OF SNOWFALL COULD OCCUR AS PEAK OF
FORCING SETTLES IN FROM LATE MORNING TUESDAY THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.
LIFT IF FAIRLY HIGH IN THE PROFILE AND ALIGNS WELL WITH THE
DENDRITIC GROWTH ZONE. WITH STRONG AND BACKING WINDS IN THE LOWER
LEVEL PROFILE...CONCERN OF FRACTURING AND IMPACT ON SNOW RATIO.
FOR NOW...THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS SUGGEST SOMEWHERE IN THE 14-17/1
RANGE AT PEAK PERFORMANCE. END RESULT OF FRONTAL AND UPPER DYNAMICS
ALONG WITH MOISTURE AND SNOW RATIO YIELDS A BAND OF 6 TO 10 INCHES
SOUTHEAST OF PONCA NEBRASKA TO ESTHERVILLE IOWA LINE. FORECAST MAY
BE A BIT ON THE HEAVIER SIDE TO NORTHWEST OF BAND...BUT ENOUGH
UNCERTAINTY TO NOT DWELL ON DETAILS YET.

SEVERAL TIMES THIS YEAR...MODELS HAVE GROSSLY OVERESTIMATED WINDS
WITH THESE SOUTHERN STREAM SYSTEMS. HOWEVER...THERE IS INDICATION
THIS TIME OF ENOUGH OF A COLDER LOW LEVEL SURGE TO ENHANCE MIXING OF
THE STRONGER OFF SURFACE GRADIENT...SO EXPECT THAT WINDS WILL EASILY
MAKE THE GUSTY 25 TO 40 MPH RANGE DURING THE DAYTIME AND EVENING
HOURS ON TUESDAY...ESPECIALLY ACROSS AREAS SOUTH/EAST OF A KMML TO
KYKN LINE.  CORRESPONDING TO THE TIMING OF SOME HEAVIER SNOWFALL
/LATER MORNING TO EARLY EVENING/ ACROSS NORTHWEST IOWA...
VISIBILITIES LIKELY TO BE SEVERELY DEGRADED.

UNCERTAINTY DOES DICTATE HOLDING OFF ON HIGHLIGHTS FOR AT LEAST
ANOTHER FORECAST CYCLE...BUT IF THINGS DO NOT CHANGE MUCH...WOULD BE
LOOKING CERTAINLY AT A WATCH IN AND AROUND NORTHWEST IOWA...AND
WOULD POTENTIALLY BE LOOKING AT BLIZZARD/NEAR BLIZZARD CONDITIONS.
MAKE NO MISTAKE...EVEN LESS SNOWFALL WITH THE EXPECTED WINDS WILL BE
A VERY HIGH IMPACT EVENT.

SNOW WILL HAVE ENDED BY WEDNESDAY IN THE EAST...BUT 20 TO 30 MPH
GUSTY WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE SOME PATCHY BLOWING SNOW
THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS.  SIGNIFICANT WEATHER WILL THEN BE LACKING
FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE EXTENDED RANGE THROUGH SATURDAY. NUMEROUS
WEAK IMPULSES IN NORTHWEST FLOW WILL CREATE SOME CHAOS IN TIMING OF
WIND TRANSITIONS AND CLOUD INCREASES THROUGH THE PERIOD...WHICH
PRECLUDES LATCHING ON TO ANY PARTICULAR SOLUTION AND RIDING ALONG
WITH ANY MUCH WARMER OR COOLER SUGGESTIONS...WHICH WILL LIKELY OCCUR
BUT ARE NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO TIME.  HOWEVER...AFTER THE TIME WHEN
THE STRONGER REINFORCING NORTHWEST FLOW WAVE PUSHES ACROSS THE
REGION...SOMEWHERE IN THE FRIDAY TO SATURDAY WINDOW...IT WILL BE
FOLLOWED BY A STRONG PUSH OF COLDER AIR AND A BREEZY AND WHAT LOOKS
TO BE AN EVEN COLDER WEEKEND AHEAD.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z SUNDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 1000 PM CST SAT JAN 30 2016

AREA OF LIGHT RAIN BETWEEN KFSD AND KSUX AT 03Z WILL MOVE EAST
THROUGH THE EARLY OVERNIGHT HOURS. TEMPERATURES AND DEWPOINTS
SUGGEST ANY PRECIPITATION WILL STAY PRIMARILY AS LIQUID, AND WILL BE
VERY LIGHT AT THE TAF LOCATIONS WITH A LITTLE HEAVIER RAIN BETWEEN
AND TO THE EAST. CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES WILL STAY VFR FOR ALL
SITES THROUGH THE PERIOD. COULD SEE SOME BRIEF MVFR CEILINGS IN THE
HEAVIER RAIN AREAS THROUGH ABOUT 08Z.
