.DISCUSSION...(This Evening Through Tuesday)
Issued at 133 PM MDT Tue Jul 11 2017

Upper level analysis has mainly zonal flow across the northern
Rockies and northern Plains. Skies are clear with the exception of
some cumulus development and towering cumulus over the Black
Hills. At the surface, low pressure was located across southwest
Manitoba, with a cold front running south through central ND and
western SD. Temperatures at 2PM across the forecast area are in
the mid 80s to upper 90s, and winds are breezy northwest behind
the front, and breezy west to southwest ahead.

Tonight into Wednesday...There will be a better chance for
showers and a few storms tonight and early Wednesday as the next
disturbance passes over the area. With instability relatively low
across much of the the area overnight, shower activity should be
on the light side.

Wednesday will be a little cooler behind the front, with highs in
the mid 80s to lower 90s. After morning shower activity tapers
off, there will be a chance for afternoon and evening
thunderstorms across much of the area. A few storms could be on
the strong side, with gusty winds and hail, especially across the
Black Hills and adjacent plains.

The rest of the week and the weekend look to be on the drier side,
with mostly isolated thunderstorm activity expected at times,
especially over the Black Hills. The heat will return as the ridge
and high pressure rebuild over the intermountain west and the
Rockies. Highs will be back in the 90s to around 100 from Thursday
through the weekend, with triple digit highs a good possibility
across much of the plains early next week.

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS Through 18Z Wednesday)
Issued At 133 PM MDT Tue Jul 11 2017

VFR conditions will prevail through much of the period. Another
impulse will bring SCT-ISOLD TS to the area this evening and
overnight. Gusty winds can be expected in/near any TS.
