Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Sioux Falls SD
304 PM CDT Tue Jun 13 2017

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Wednesday)
Issued at 303 PM CDT Tue Jun 13 2017

Current analysis shows a surface low centered over central Nebraska,
with a trough axis/subtle cold front extending northward into
central SD. A warm front is attendant to the surface trough
positioned north of our forecast area where winds turn to the
east/southeast, compared with south to southeast in our area. Aloft,
water vapor imagery clearly shows two vorticity maxima, one located
with the parent upper low in southwest MT, with a secondary maximum
developing right now in southeast WY.

The southeast WY vort max will rotate northeastward into central and
southeast SD by 03Z this evening, then becomes rather sheared off as
it lifts northeastward in southwest MN between 03Z and 06Z. However
another short wave moves into zones just south of our forecast area
after midnight tonight. Speed shear is strong with this short wave,
averaging 40 knots really across the entire forecast area through
the overnight hours. However, directional shear is rather weak.
Therefore thoughts are that discrete cells may develop along the
wind shift and ahead of the drier air in our western zones, from
Huron and Mitchell westward late this afternoon, then morph into a
line of convection as it moves eastward along and east of the James
River valley. ML CAPES are extremely high denoting high instability,
in the range of 2000 to 4000 J/kg this evening, before decreasing
between 03Z and 06Z. Therefore golfball to isolated baseball sized
hail is possible in our western zones during the early evening, with
the threat transitioning to 60 to 70 mph winds between the I 29
corridor and the James River with quarter to walnut sized hail
during the mid evening hours. As it moves eastward into southwest MN
after mid evening and overnight, the primary threat is still the 60
to 70 mph wind potential. Further south in extreme northeast
Nebraska and northwest IA, this area will likely not receive any
discrete cells whatsoever, with the secondary short wave mentioned
above keeping that area rather stirred up all the way through 09Z.
But likewise, the severe weather threat is most prominent in the
evening hours. In fact, 0-3km bulk shear vectors bend to a west/
southwest direction in northwest IA during the mid and late evening
hours suggesting a bow echo, or at the least some bow segments. This
is not the case in the rest of our forecast area, as the 0-3km bulk
shear vectors have a decided south to southwest tilt to them,
suggesting that widespread strong wind is not likely. But the
stronger rotating updrafts in northwest IA could certainly carry
some 60-80mph winds in the mid and late evening, with brief possible
spin up tornadoes, which may be hard to tell the difference between
those and 80 mph winds at any rate.

Things will quiet down after 06Z rather rapidly as the short wave
currently in southwest WY exits. A surface wind shift will follow
suit providing a pleasant day on Wednesday with a dry westerly flow
of air and stable conditions.

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday night through Tuesday)
Issued at 303 PM CDT Tue Jun 13 2017

Much more tranquil pattern expected in the extended with westerly
flow expected for the next several day as upper level low pressure
system works towards and eventually north of the Great Lakes. This
will result in dry conditions though temperatures will remain above
normal with 850 hpa temps remaining in the upper teens.

Surface low will track across the area Friday night creating the
chance for showers and storms mainly east of the James River Valley.
Limited amounts of Gulf moisture appear to work north ahead of this
system, thus limiting the amount of instability.

Fairly strong cold front is expected to work through the region on
Saturday afternoon leading to an additional chance of thunderstorms.
Cooler conditions are expected to reign Sunday through Tuesday with
dry conditions.

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Wednesday afternoon)
Issued at 1226 PM CDT Tue Jun 13 2017

The challenge today are strong thunderstorms. A disturbance will
be moving through this evening and overnight ahead of a surface
wind shift. Timing in the TAFs has been refined to a slightly
later arrival of TSRA for the TAF sites to reflect a degree of
capping which is in place through much of the afternoon hours. At
any given time during the TSRA threat time, some storms could be
severe with large hail and strong erratic winds. In addition,
conditions could be IFR in periods of heavy rainfall. This is
something for the aviation community to keep an eye on. Toward
daybreak Wednesday and into mid morning, indications are there
could be some temporary MVFR ceilings which is common after
rainfall and ahead of the wind shift.
