Area forecast discussion, Feb 20, 3:28 PM CST, 2 hours 32 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Aberdeen SD 328 PM CST Mon Feb 20 2017 .SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Tuesday Afternoon) Issued at 328 PM CST Mon Feb 20 2017 Light rain showers continue to quickly diminish east of a line from ABR to HON. There have been some temporary gusts of 20-25kts behind this feature, but overall stronger winds have been pretty limited. The sfc trough that brought us this rain has shifted into western MN. The next trough is set up across MT, and will move over our area during the day Tuesday. Fog will be possible again tonight, mainly over the favored ATY area and across our northeast where precipitation amounts of 0.10-0.20 inches fell. 30s will be common tonight. With a southerly downslope gust picking up late tonight near 8D3, expect temperatures to stay up in the upper 30s. These downslope winds will likely continue through the morning hours Tuesday. Dry weather will be the rule through Tuesday. No more PW values of near 1 inch. .LONG TERM...(Tuesday Evening through Monday) Issued at 328 PM CST Mon Feb 20 2017 One more day of much above normal temperatures on Wednesday with temperatures from 15 to 25 degrees above normal then back to near to below normal for the rest of the long term. A couple short wave troughs coming across the region for Tuesday night into Wednesday evening will bring mainly chances of light rain across the northern CWA. The models continue to have the Thursday through Friday surface low pressure system mainly staying south of our region. The Canadian had the furtherest north and slowest track. The EC was the quickest with the system. Thus, the best chances of precipitation remain across our far southern CWA south of a line from Pierre to Watertown. Cooler northwest flow aloft prevails through the rest of the long term into Monday across the CWA with mainly high pressure at the surface. A few weak upper level troughs and surface fronts coming across the region from the northwest may bring some small chances of light snow. At this time left it dry until Monday. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Tuesday Afternoon) Issued at 1016 AM CST Mon Feb 20 2017 MVFR ceilings/vis are pretty standard. However, ATY is dealing with 1/4sm vis. Expect improving conditions in a couple of hours as the deep moisture exits east and winds increase. Most locations will get gusts of 20-25kts behind the last band of rain that is currently set up near MBG to PIR that is moving northeast around 25kts. No more lightning is anticipated. Expect winds to diminish to under 10kts tonight, before increasing slightly out of the southwest during the day Tuesday. && .ABR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... SD...None.
