What forecasters said that day

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

NWS Rapid City, SD wrote its last area forecast discussion before this high wind warning went out at Mar 5, 3:08 PM MST, 6 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Mar 5, 3:08 PM MST, 6 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion For Western SD and Northeastern WY
National Weather Service Rapid City SD
308 PM MST Sun Mar 5 2017

.SHORT TERM...(This Evening Through Monday Night)
Issued at 239 PM MST Sun Mar 5 2017

Band of dense cirrus moving from south to north over the region
had keep temperatures from reaching the full potential for much of
the day but as heating increases in the region of mostly sunny
skies to the south of the cirrus band, temperatures and winds
have been increasing and the RH falling.

Latest upper analysis shows the upper ridge has moved off to the
eastern third of the CONUS as the Pacific upper trough moves
inland over the Pacific Northwest. That system will rapidly cross
the forecast area on Monday followed by strong northwesterly winds
as cooler air flow into the region.

Tonight through Monday afternoon, models remain in good
agreement, showing the upper trough moving into the northern
plains with another closed-off mid-level low developing over
southeastern MT/northwestern SD, moving into ND by 00z Tuesday.
Cyclogenesis strengthens over nwrn SD/swrn ND on Monday. A strong
cold front will cross the forecast area on Monday morning. Jet
streak linked low level frontogenesis will tap into narrow band of
moisture to produce precipitation starting late tonight/early
Monday over northeastern WY, spreading eastward across the
forecast area during the day. Precipitation will quickly
change over to snow across northeastern Wyoming and then struggle
a bit more on the SD plains given precipitation shifting quickly
northeast before low level temperature profiles become conducive
for any significant snow accumulation over the western SD plains.
1-3" of snow possible over parts of northeastern WY and the Black
Hills. 3-6 hour period of upslope enhancement is likely over the
northern Black Hills given 0-2km moisture profile and Froude
numbers. Cold air advection behind front will promote deep mixing
by Monday afternoon. 40-65kt winds noted through boundary layer
with notable subsidence behind upper low. A significant high wind
event is expected, even over parts of northeastern Wyoming. Will
issue a winter weather advisory for parts of northeastern Wyoming
and parts of the Black Hills, which are the areas expecting 1-3"
of snow and poor travel conditions in snow and blowing snow. Will
also issue a high wind warning for Monday over most of the
western South Dakota plains.

On monday night, the sfc pressure gradient will slacken, and
along with partial decoupling of the boundary layer, expect winds
should subside some. Monday highs will likely occur in the
morning...falling during the rest of the day.

.LONG TERM...(Tuesday Through Sunday)
Issued at 239 PM MST Sun Mar 5 2017

Tuesday, northwest flow aloft expected with deep mixing again and
gusty northwest winds. Will likely need at least a wind advisory
on Tuesday. Tuesday will be dry with temperatures near to
slightly warmer than average.

On Wednesday, weak upper ridge brings a decent day with perhaps a
bit of -RASN Wednesday night across the far north as a shortwave
scoots by. Temperatures will be 6-12F above normal.

Thursday through Saturday, latest guidance continues trending
toward progressive flow with moisture-starved systems (early on)
bringing a series of cold fronts, gusty winds, and chances for
precipitation with the expected timing differences given fast
flow. Trend will be toward progressively colder temperatures by
the weekend but westward extent of coldest air still uncertain.
Best chances of snow appear to be later next weekend.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS Through 18Z Monday)
Issued At 1056 AM MST Sun Mar 5 2017

VFR conditions and gusty southwest winds will continue through
this evening. Low level wind shear will occur over much of the
region tonight. As a strong low pressure system approaches, a
band of IFR CIGS/VSBYS will move into northeastern Wyoming late
tonight and into far western South Dakota on Monday morning..
with rain changing to snow.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 239 PM MST Sun Mar 5 2017

For this afternoon, Red Flag warning continues across parts of
northeastern WY and the western SD plains given the combination
of dry fuels, low relative humidities and gusty southwesterly
winds.
