319 PM CDT Tue Aug 1 2017

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Wednesday)
Issued at 318 PM CDT Tue Aug 1 2017

Weak wave pressing across central SD early this afternoon, and have
been watching progression of a mini-MCS into areas of west of the
James River in advance of this feature. Instability is actually
fairly decent with MLCAPE on the order of 2000-2500 J/kg, especially
concentrated near the slowly sinking frontal boundary across
southwest MN extending through the KFSD area toward south central
SD. The problem for existing storm structures is that the overall
deep shear is practically non-existent, which means that while
initiation to storms gets a strong updraft going, it does not take
too long for storms to choke themselves off. However, there is also
a healthy amount of DCAPE with around 1000 J/kg, so will have to
watch for a damaging wind threat with any briefly organized storms
through late afternoon.  Should not take long for southward
progressing front and the passage of the wave to limit precipitation
chances through early evening along the Missouri River, with the
remainder of the night likely to feature a light north to northeast
wind.  At this time, looks like should get enough drying to keep fog
from being a widespread threat as winds weaken and start to back
toward the east/southeast again late night as stronger complex wave
moving into the western Dakotas, with the leading wave moving into
western SD and trailing stronger wave into northeast MT.

Attention then turns toward these waves moving into the area during
the day on Wednesday. Leading wave will approach the western CWA
midday, with likely enhancement of clouds, and enough elevated
instability to result in at least a scattering of
showers/thunderstorms.  As one progresses through the day, diurnal
heating will become more challenged, and overall instability will
not be as strong as today, likely maximizing from 1000-1500 J/kg
ahead of the precipitation. Have some concern about clouds/more
spotty precipitation with the leading wave perhaps weakening the
destabilization potential even more. Deep-layer shear is much
greater at 35-45 knots with stronger winds aloft ahead of the
frontal boundary, which puts shear/instability in a much more
favorable parameter space. Would have to believe that there is at
least a lower-end severe weather threat for much of the area,
starting early to mid afternoon toward the James River, and
continuing into the evening hours as the main convective development
pushes eastward. Threat would be primarily wind and some marginal
large hail, the latter limited by instability levels.

Main increase in div Q forcing comes later in the day along with the
approaching jet streak, and should see precipitation become more
widespread west of I-29 through the mid to late afternoon. Some
areas of heavier rainfall will be possible, but amounts again likely
limited by transience of precipitation.

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday night through Tuesday)
Issued at 318 PM CDT Tue Aug 1 2017

Main concerns in the extended period will be rain and thunderstorms
Wednesday night into Thursday morning. Highs on Thursday will also
be fairly close to record cold high temperatures.

Rain and thunderstorms will move through on Wednesday night and
linger into Thursday morning across southwest MN. Shear and
instability are nothing to get excited about but an isolated severe
thunderstorm will be possible in the evening. Some heavy rainfall
will be possible but expecting it to be widespread at this time as
the system appears to be fairly progressive and freezing levels
are somewhat lower around 11000 feet. By Thursday afternoon the
area should be well into the dry slot with pretty chilly air in
place. Will be looking at the potential for some record cold high
temperatures with highs from the mid 60s to mid 70s. Most record
cold highs are in the lower to mid 60s.

While Friday will moderate with highs back into the mid and upper
70s another system will pull onto the Plains with an increased
threat for rain and thunderstorms Friday night into Saturday. Will
maintain the 60 percent to 80 percent chance for rain and
thunderstorms. Not planning on a severe threat at this time.

After this, from Sunday into Tuesday temperatures should rebound
closer to normal with no strong signals for rain and thunderstorms.
Highs generally 75 to 85 with lows 55 to 65.

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Wednesday afternoon)
Issued at 1252 PM CDT Tue Aug 1 2017

Scattered convection will slide through areas mainly west of the
mid-James River valley at early afternoon, and become isolated
with additional development near a slowly southward sinking
frontal boundary by early to mid afternoon mainly near/south of
I-90. Much of the night and morning hours should be quiet. There
is an outside chance with meek flushing of the moist near-surface
air mass that some spotty fog could develop in lower areas near
KSUX. Did not place any convection into the KHON TAF toward the
end of the forecast time with uncertainty in timing, but prospect
for convection will be increasing near the end of the period.
