AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SIOUX FALLS SD
315 PM CDT MON MAY 9 2016

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 315 PM CDT MON MAY 9 2016

CHALLENGING FORECAST FOR THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON AND NIGHT. LOTS
OF PARAMETERS IN THE MARGINAL CATEGORY WHICH MAKES TIMING OF THE
ACTIVITY VERY DIFFICULT. TWO AREAS OF UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT...ONE
SWINGING NORTH THROUGH FAR EASTERN SOUTH DAKOTA AND A BROADER
CIRCULATION CENTERED ACROSS SOUTHWEST SOUTH DAKOTA. EXPECT
CONVECTION NEAR INTERSTATE 29 TO GRADUALLY SHIFT EAST AND NORTH INTO
THE EVENING AS A FAIRLY STOUT JET MAX PUSHES NORTH. ANOTHER AREA OF
CONCERN WILL BE IN CENTRAL SOUTH DAKOTA CLOSER TO THE UPPER LEVEL
LOW. NEITHER AREA HAS QUITE ENOUGH INSTABILITY OR SHEAR TO SUPPORT
SEVERE HAIL SO SUSPECT THAT THE STRONGER STORMS WILL LIKELY SUPPORT
HAIL UP TO ABOUT THE SIZE OF DIMES. NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO GET A ROUGE
SEVERE STORM BUT ALSO NOT LIKELY.

THE CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS WILL DWINDLE A BIT THROUGH THE LATE
NIGHT HOURS...BUT CHANCES WILL REMAIN OVER PARTS OF SOUTHWEST
MINNESOTA. WHILE MUCH OF THE DAY SHOULD BE DRY...BY MID AFTERNOON A
FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE WEST AND WITH CONVECTIVE TEMPERATURES
IN THE LOW TO MID 70S WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO BREAK THE CAP IN A FEW
SPOTS. AT THIS TIME NOT EXPECTING WIDESPREAD ACTIVITY BUT SHOULD SEE
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS. TOUGH ALL ON SEVERE THREAT AGAIN AS BOTH
INSTABILITY AND SHEAR ARE DECENT...BUT MARGINAL. THE NAM HINTING AT
MAYBE 1000 TO 1500 J/KG SO SUSPECT ENOUGH TO PRODUCE UPDRAFTS
CAPABLE OF HAIL UP TO NICKELS OR SO...ESPECIALLY WITH FREEZING LEVEL
ABOUT 9000 FEET. BETTER CHANCES WILL BE LATE AFTERNOON INTO THE
EVENING AND NORTH OF INTERSTATE 90.

.LONG TERM...(TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 315 PM CDT MON MAY 9 2016

WILL KEEP EXTENDED DISCUSSION BRIEF WITH ONGOING CONVECTION. SECOND
UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO ROTATE INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS ON
WEDNESDAY. WHILE THE SYSTEM WILL BE CENTERED TO THE NORTH...CHANCE
FOR SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM ALONG THE COLD FRONT AS IT
SHIFTS EAST.  BEHIND THE FRONT...EXPECT BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES TO
PERSIST THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK BEHIND THE FRONT.  WITH
ONGOING WEATHER...LEFT GUIDANCE AS IS.  EARLY NEXT WEEK...THERE IS A
