Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Sioux Falls SD
533 PM CDT WED MAY 25 2016

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Thursday)
Issued at 351 PM CDT Wed May 25 2016

Instability still looks sufficient for severe storms late this
afternoon and evening with modest 1500 or so CAPE, but shear is
looking a little less supportive than it did earlier with
directional wind profiles dampened by veering of lower level winds.
Of course the doubt remains in both initiation and coverage of
storms with heating dampened somewhat by lingering low level
moisture and clouds, apparently partly related to the storms that
west through in the early morning, and somewhat of a cap to be
broken. It seems best to keep coverage isolated. The HRRR has been
tracking a few storms across the area during the coming evening
hours, with the strongest activity south of Interstate 90. This
activity may be a reflection of an impulse that seems apparent in
current activity over western nebraska. The HRRR also brings a
couple cells across further north. Will keep pops low given the
unfavorable parameters for convection to become even remotely
widespread.

As the low level flow brings in more stable air, and with nocturnal
cooling, any activity should die off later tonight without a decent
low level jet to support our patented nocturnal storms. Skies should
be clear to partly cloudy with lows in the mid 50s to low 60s.

The quiet weather should continue well into Thursday, until the
backing of the upper flow ahead of an approaching southern plains
wave induces an increase in low level moisture and overall
instability from the south and southeast. This will bring a threat
of storms to the southeast half of the area in the afternoon,
mainly in northwest Iowa and extreme northeast Nebraska, with some
severe threat. Temperatures should warm into the lower 80s east and
the upper 70s west.

.LONG TERM...(Thursday night through Wednesday)
Issued at 351 PM CDT Wed May 25 2016

A very active and wet pattern persists into early next week as a
series of shortwaves lift northeast through Great Plains. Upper
level trough over the central and southern Rockies arrives in the
high plains Thursday night, and slowly wobbles north northeast
across our forecast area through Saturday night. With low level
moisture continuing to tap into gulf moisture and several impulses
traversing the mid level flow, showers and thunderstorms will remain
likely each forecast period through Saturday. There is a low chance
for severe weather Thursday evening into the overnight hours, with
moderate instability and marginal shear values as the warm front
noses into central or northern Nebraska. Friday's severe chances
will hinge on how overnight convection will impact the airmass and
where any boundaries set up across the region. Shear is a little
less favorable on Friday and cloud cover may impede instability
development.

The upper low lifts out of the region Saturday night, with weak
ridging/subsidence keeping shower and thunderstorm chances to a
minimum on Sunday. The drier conditions are short lived as the upper
level southwest flow directs yet another series of shortwaves into
the central Plains. Models still a bit uncertain in the timing of
waves, but high chance pops Monday into Wednesday seem warranted for
now.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Thursday evening)
Issued at 524 PM CDT Wed May 25 2016

Continuing to watch upward wave track out of the Western Plains
late this afternoon. Widely scattered convection has formed along
an advancing frontal boundary over central SD/NE and will continue
to march eastward this evening. Real questions continue on the
potential for additional upscale growth once mid-lvl jet noses
into the Plains later this evening. However, at this time, will
only mention a VCTS at the three terminals for a period this
evening and early overnight.

The influence of this wave should slide east of the area shortly
after 06Z.

VFR conditions are anticipated for Thursday, but will need to
monitor for convection along the MO river late in the day.
