Area forecast discussion, Dec 13, 10:35 PM CST, 5 hours before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Sioux Falls SD 1035 PM CST Tue Dec 13 2016 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Wednesday) Issued at 344 PM CST Tue Dec 13 2016 For this evening, wind directions are favorable in keeping the temperatures from falling through about midnight with a west to southwest flow in place. High pressure moves slightly eastward and is southeast of our area this evening, however a reinforcing shot of arctic air will then begin to infiltrate our region late tonight. Therefore high pressure to the northwest takes over, with a marked wind shift from the west to a northwesterly direction after midnight tonight. Lows tonight will likely be realized not until early to mid morning Wednesday. With the wind in place of 10 to 15 mph late tonight and early Wednesday, preferred the non bias corrected GEM Regional temperatures as the basis for lows, with some mix of the all blend solution which is only slightly warmer by about a category. The winds will increase into the 20 to 30 mph range as the day progresses on Wednesday given the strength of winds in the mixed layer. We do touch wind chill advisory criteria for a brief time in southwest MN and around the Brookings area of -20F in the mid and late morning on Wednesday. However opted to not issue a headline at this time due to the wind chill advisory criteria only lasting a few hours and it being a bit borderline anyway. Lows tonight will range from around zero in our far north, to close to 7 above in Sioux City. Temperatures will be slow to move on Wednesday, but should vary from near 5 above in Brookings and Marshall, to about 17 or 18 degrees in Sioux City. Given the 925- 900mb temperatures Wednesday afternoon, a blend of the all blend and bias corrected ECMWF temperatures looked really good. One final thought with regards to temperatures on Wednesday, the GFS continues to show a high degree of stratus from 900-850mb especially in our eastern zones by midday Wednesday and through the afternoon. Cannot find any support from other solutions to warrant this kind of cloud cover. This high RH may be an artifact of cold air. .LONG TERM...(Wednesday night through Tuesday) Issued at 344 PM CST Tue Dec 13 2016 Will see clouds increase Wednesday night into Thursday as a warm front approaches. Isentropic lift on the 285-290K surface increases markedly throughout the day. With atmosphere fairly saturated, will likely see light snow develop and have raised pops accordingly. This snow will likely end Thursday evening into early Friday morning. 700 mb frontogenetic band of snow is expected to develop on Friday as trough moves from northern California coast into the plains. With highly dendritic environment across the northern 2/3 of the forecast area, have raised snow liquid ratios to a NAM/GFS blend. While Qpf may be a little on the light side, still resulted in a band of 5-8" of snow along and north of I-90 through Saturday morning. Strong northwest winds develop on the backside of this system Friday night into Saturday as frontogenetic band shifts east. With 30 knots at 925 hpa and strong cold air advection, expect winds to be gusty throughout the day on Saturday. Great radiative conditions along with a fresh blanket of snow Saturday night will result in near record lows across eastern South Dakota. Have blended lows with CONS_RAW to adjust lows down. While southwest flow develops on Sunday and temperatures warm some, do not think temperatures will rebound near as much as forecast builder suggests, and have blended highs with CONS_RAW. Did not make any adjustments beyond Sunday, but appears to be a fairly significant warm up headed into next week as upper ridge across the west noses into the plains. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Wednesday night) Issued at 1033 PM CST Tue Dec 13 2016 VFR conditions expected through the TAF period. Northwesterly winds will pick up late morning on Wednesday with gusts to around 25 kts by afternoon. && .FSD WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... SD...None. MN...None. IA...None.
