Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Sioux Falls SD
820 PM CDT SAT JUL 16 2016

.UPDATE...
Issued at 807 PM CDT Sat Jul 16 2016

Concerns this evening continue to focused on convection. LBF VWP
showing a rapidly increasing LLJ approaching 40 knots at 8pm. This
has helped reinvigorate storms just north of the CWA along a
stalled outflow boundary, quasi-warm front. The current
expectations of this cluster will be the lead cell over Chippewa
county gradually turning southeast along the edge of a very stout
2000 J/KG MLCAPE gradient into southwestern Minnesota. Cells
further west will likely begin to trail this cluster and move
southeast along a line from Brookings to Worthington to Spencer
through midnight. Left moving shear vectors doing a great job
indicating numerous feeder cells moving into the prevailing
easterly-southeasterly cluster progression.

The other concern is focused on a cluster of storms in western SD
driving quickly eastward as a 500 mb jet streak enters the region.
Very health MLCAPE values are feeding these storms, which are
steadily moving eastward. However, LBF sounding indicated a stout
capping inversion around 700 mb. CAMs continue to struggle with
the eastward trajectory of these storms, but feel that given the
development of an increasing LLJ and well mixed boundary layer,
these storms should be able to press eastward, potentially looking
as if they may weaken, but then quickly restrengthen as the move
towards the James River valley.

The biggest threat with this activity is damaging winds. DCAPE
values around 1500-1800 J/KG are present over central SD and will
advect eastward through the night. HRRR soundings show a continual
lowering of the LLJ through the night, which is suggesting that
this capping inversion could be mitigated as it tries to move
eastward through SD and especially east of the MO river. RAP
already indicating a much less stable atmosphere east of the MO
river.

A secondary concern tonight will be with increasing 0-1 KM
helicity as the LLJ increases. 0-2KM shear vectors around 35 to 40
knots are aligning themselves perpendicular to the potential
bowing line. This could enhance the potential for mesovortices on
the line. This LLJ increase will also bump up helicity in the
storm clusters in eastern SD and SW MN, and a conditional tornadic
threat is possible, especially in discrete supercells.

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Sunday)
Issued at 416 PM CDT Sat Jul 16 2016

Leading short wave is moving eastward at this time, and will extend
right along I 29 by 00Z Sunday early this evening. 70 knot jet
streak is nudging into our forecast area this evening and overnight,
coupled with an increasing low level jet of 40 knots. Therefore both
speed and directional wind shear is strong, with 0-3km bulk shear
vectors following suit averaging 30 to 40 knots tonight before
tapering off rapidly late tonight, and 0-6km bulk shear vectors
averaging 45 to 55 knots.

It is quite a challenge in how all of this will morph together
however. The current wave is largely not impacting our forecast
area, so we will likely have to wait for the second and stronger
short wave to impact our area. This wave will likely fire off
convection early this evening in southern ND, possibly merging with
western plains convection which is trying to develop currently in
eastern MT and north central WY. If this all comes together, then
yes our forecast area will be pretty active after evening and late
tonight, especially if its moves as far south as the HRRR and
experimental HRRR is trying to show. Now the ARW and NMM have been
hedging a bit further north tonight, mainly picking on our areas
along and north of I 90 closer to the upper wave dynamics noted by
upper QG forcing moving through ND and northern SD. Unfortunately
that scenario is plausible too, and is backed up by a fairly weak
nested NAM. So for pops, blended the two HRRR models as well as the
ARW and NMM. This all congeals to low end likely pops for a lot of
the forecast area except lower pops in our southwest zones. This is
your typical mid summer tricky convective forecast, in that we
likely have a handle on the big picture, but the devil is in the
details.

Severe chances are probably confined mainly to wind chances due to
the time of day. In addition most times, if the TSRA complex
develops quite a distance from our forecast area which is likely to
do in this case, large hail becomes less of a threat. But the wind
threat can last for some times, probably into the pre dawn hours
across our eastern zones. With the strong mid level winds, cannot
rule out some 60 to 70 mph convective gust, maybe even some isolated
75 mph wind gusts. Concerning temperatures, Sunday will be a
seasonable day with a wind shift coming through, with highs in the
80s. Some scattered convection could be lingering early in the
morning across northwest Iowa, with some redevelopment possible in
the mid and late afternoon in our far southeast zones.

.LONG TERM...(Sunday night through Saturday)
Issued at 416 PM CDT Sat Jul 16 2016

With the frontal zone pushed south of the area by early Sunday
evening, likely that only a short risk for a spotty post-frontal
elevated thunderstorms will exist across southern portions of
northwest Iowa before larger-scale subsidence ends the threat.
Remainder of the night will feature a drop in moisture as high
pressure settles along the eastern South Dakota border.  Monday a
fine day as well with lower humidity, but as surface ridge shifts to
the east, will see southeast winds become a bit breezy from the
James valley westward.  Fairly seasonable temps expected, mainly
lows upper 50s to lower 60s, and highs in the 80s to near 90.

Upper ridge will build through mid to late week through the northern
plains, but a compact wave will rotate through on Monday night. Main
low level baroclinicity is tied up a bit to the south across
Nebraska which will provide a likely focus for the most significant
coverage of thunderstorms to glance through the Missouri river
valley overnight and early Tuesday. However, advancement of the
elevated mixed layer will present a chance somewhat to the north of
this area during the night. Effective shear fcst CONSShort
16.20Zs quite a bit lacking, but enough potential instability that
perhaps could scare up a bit of hail with stronger storms toward
Missouri river valley.

Transition to uncomfortable warmth will begin Tuesday, primarily due
to increase in low-level moisture as stronger capping inversion
develops across the area. While temps will start to warm into the
90s from the James valley westward, residual clouds and some
lingering precipitation threat on gradient of steeper mid-level
lapse rates mainly east of I-29 by afternoon will keep readings in
the 80s.  Another perhaps weaker wave will rotate along the
periphery of building ridge Tuesday night into early Wednesday, and
have kept a lower chance for thunderstorms to accompany the feature.

The period of Wednesday and Thursday will be the warmest across the
area, especially Thursday as wave begins to flatten ridge and
induces a bit more westerly component, especially for locations in
the lower Brule to lower James valley. Taking model solutions
literally would push for potential 105-110 degree readings, but for
now have settled for quite a few 100-105 degree readings west, and
mid to upper 90s east. Likely that the combination of heat/moisture
produce heat index readings from 100 to 110 for much of the area
midweek.

Wave flattening ridge Thursday night will drive frontal boundary
southward. However, with warm temps aloft have kept precipitation
out of the forecast until around Friday night, when there is
consensus of perhaps another wave riding along the ridge and
increasing low level jet across boundary at night. Temps will
moderate back to the mid 80s to lower 90s by the end of the
week, still above normal, but should see a little drop in humidity.

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Sunday evening)
Issued at 628 PM CDT Sat Jul 16 2016

Will be monitoring two areas tonight for convection. Ongoing
cluster of storms moving into Minnesota may begin to grow upscale,
with additional convection forming along a ACCAS line trailing
westwards near a stationary warm front towards central SD. A
second wave of energy is moving into western SD this evening, and
eventually as the LLJ increases convection should begin to blossom
this evening.

Highest thunderstorm risks in KHON will be between 02-06Z, KFSD
from 03z- 07Z, and KSUX from 04z to 08Z. Will include a tempo
group in these periods. Strong winds will be the main risk with
this activity. Localized MVFR to IFR conditions will be possible
in thunderstorms.

Once convection passes by daybreak, Sunday will be VFR with a
light westerly wind.
