What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this high wind watch went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Aberdeen, SD wrote its last area forecast discussion before this high wind watch went out at Mar 5, 11:27 AM CST, 3 hours 58 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Mar 5, 11:27 AM CST, 3 hours 58 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Aberdeen SD
1127 AM CST Sun Mar 5 2017

.UPDATE...
Issued at 1124 AM CST Sun Mar 5 2017

See updated aviation discussion below.

UPDATE Issued at 1030 AM CST Sun Mar 5 2017

No changes to Temps/Dpts or winds and associated fire weather
headlines. Winds will be marginal with 1/2km winds only around
25kts but given dry antecedent conditions will leave headlines
in place.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Today through Tuesday Afternoon)
Issued at 454 AM CST Sun Mar 5 2017

Pretty active and interesting short term setting up with fire
danger, winds and warm temperatures being the main highlights. For
today, warm and dry air will surge northward into western and
central SD. After seeing what happened yesterday across the
southwest CWA with the RH tanking into the teens and highs in the
70s, have decided to drop dewpoints considerably and raise highs
several degrees from previous forecast. Soundings are supportive of
this, and 925mb temps are even a few degrees warmer than what they
were on Saturday. Skies look to be mostly sunny as well, only fly in
the ointment could be any thick cirrus that would develop. But, as
of right now, satellite imagery upstream does not show anything on a
trajectory into the CWA. Highs will likely reach the mid to upper
70s over the southwest CWA, and would not be surprised to see an 80
degree reading. 60s will be found eastward into the James River
valley as well. The dewpoint forecast was a bit tricky, but the
trend was to use the drier guidance that's out there, combined with
some mix-down tools. This led to an RH forecast into the 10 to 25
percent range over most of the western CWA. Fire danger will be a
concern for sure today over the western counties, but winds are
marginal for Red Flag Warning. Did decide to issue though for zones
267 and 268 based on current forecast wind gusts around 25 mph this
afternoon. Wind gusts look a bit better further west into UNR CWA.
MOS guidance for winds at MBG and PIR don't really show the gusts as
well as it does for D07 and PHP. So, our western fire zones are sort
of in the buffer area. Getting back to highs today, a few sites may
be flirting with records, specifically Pierre and Kennebec.

Attention will then turn to the low pressure system moving northeast
across the Dakotas on Monday, and the strong winds associated with
it. This system still does not appear to be a big precip maker for
us, with the CWA largely being in the dry slot during the day
Monday. There may be a stray shower or even a thundershower Monday
morning over the eastern CWA ahead of the cold front. But, other
than that, we will just see some wrap around precip chances Monday
afternoon into Monday evening. Current forecast keeps hourly temps
warm enough for mainly rain or a rain/snow mix, but if cold air
advection were a bit stronger and temps cooled a bit faster, things
could get interesting. It appears the biggest impact for our area
with this low pressure system will be the strong winds expected
during the day Monday and into Monday night. 0.5km winds on Monday
top out from 55 to 65 knots across central SD with deep uni-
directional flow in what will be a well-mixed atmosphere. Decided to
issue a High Wind Watch for central SD on Monday, and later shifts
will have to examine the potential to expand this further east as
models also show very strong winds in the Coteau region Monday
evening. 06Z MAV MOS guidance shows 37 knots sustained at Sisseton
Monday evening.

Will have to keep fire danger in mind again on Monday as well, even
though we have cooler temps and higher RH. Could be one of these
days where "winds trump RH" since we will be talking about 50 to 60
mph winds with basically a 0 percent green. Min RH values on Monday
bottom out from about 25 to 30 percent over the southwest CWA, so
something to strongly consider - the fact that fire headlines may be
needed on Monday as well even though we don't quite hit the criteria
with RH. The impacts may still be there due to the very strong
winds. Strong winds look to continue into Tuesday as well, and the
trend amongst the offices was to raise speeds above that of
SuperBlend.

.LONG TERM...(Tuesday Evening through Saturday)
Issued at 454 AM CST Sun Mar 5 2017

Pcpn chances and temps are the main challenge in the long term. All
of the models have trended somewhat toward a flat/progressive mid
level flow pattern across the CONUS during the long term. This does
present some issues regarding s/w timing. The Northern Plains will
fall squarely in the mean low/mid level baroclinic zone through the
period. There is fair agreement on a system coming through during
the Thu/Fri time period, with the highest pops during the long term
expected over that time period. Meanwhile, much of the cwa remains
north of the low level thermal boundary, and thus it will probably
be cooler than was previously forecast, particularly for Friday and
Saturday. Did trend down the too warm model blend temps, and may
have to continue that trend with future forecasts. Overall,
concerning temperatures, they should start out above normal, but
then trend toward below normal at the end of the forecast.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Monday Afternoon)
Issued at 1124 AM CST Sun Mar 5 2017

VFR conditions will prevail across the area through midday Monday.
Look for southwesterly winds to increase into the 15 to 30 knot
range during the mid to late morning hours on Monday.

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of west central
Minnesota, central South Dakota, north central South Dakota, and
northeast South Dakota.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Very high fire danger will be across central South Dakota today
due to humidity dropping into the 10 to 20 percent range and wind
gusts around 25 mph. This will be felt mainly west of the Missouri
River.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday

Very strong winds will spread over the region Monday into Monday
evening. Gusts may exceed 60 mph over central South Dakota during
the day Monday, with these strong winds moving east across the
region by Monday evening. The fire danger will also be very high
to perhaps extreme on Monday due to the strong winds. Although the
lowest humidity values in the upper 20s to 30s will be across
central and south central South Dakota where fire danger will be
the biggest concern.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation will not be needed.
