The local office's own words before this special weather statement 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 special weather statement went out at Jun 10, 5:21 PM MDT, 5 hours 9 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 10, 5:21 PM MDT, 5 hours 9 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion For Western SD and Northeastern WY National Weather Service Rapid City SD 521 PM MDT Sat Jun 10 2017 .DISCUSSION...(This Evening Through Saturday) Issued at 205 PM MDT Sat Jun 10 2017 PAC NW Upper trough continues to support periodic impulses into the region, supporting a wavering frontal boundary over the FA. This will be the case through early next week, at which time the entire upper trough will finally eject over the region and support a vigorous storm system into the FA Monday. A shortwave trough is taking aim on the region and will provide enough forcing in the presence of the departing jet streak entrance region to support elevated convection tonight across the northern 2/3 to half of the fa. Staunch pos theta-e adv (indicated well at h7 with a bubble of +335K air advecting over the region ahead of the mid level trough) coupled with steep mid level lapse rates will support support 1000-2000 J/KG of elevated CAPE. Effective bulk shear numbers in excess of 50 knots coupled with CAPE/forcing parameters will be more than sufficient for a few rotating updrafts, supporting a severe threat, mainly large hail. HRRR UH tracks certainly support this as well. Best chance for storms will be from the central/northern Black Hills northeast out to Dupree. TS will exit the region early Sunday morning with ll flow becoming NE as the impulse forces pressure rises into the region. Generally quiet weather expected Sunday during the day as weak subsidence and ll dry NE flow supports subsidence over the region. However, the main upper low will begin to push toward the region Sunday night, supporting elevated pos theta-e adv over the region esp the western third. This will likely support diurnal convection over central/southern WY which will spread north overnight, esp over the far western third. Low level moisture adv will begin to slowly ramp up Monday as pos theta-e adv continues through Monday ahead of the advancing upper low. This may support a band of elevated convection through most of the FA moving north through morning and possibly into early afternoon. The main show will be Monday evening and overnight hours. Main upper trough will push into the region, supporting strong large scale ascent, with a potent 50-70 knot mid level jet streak. This will support impressive bulk shear values over 50 knots with steepening mid- level lapse rates. The main wild card will be the amount of moisture return back into the FA, which will be the determining factor on the intensity and coverage of expected severe weather. Forecast models have been running a little high on ll moisture advection with the last few systems, esp given the ongoing dry conds. However, given expected moisture pooling along the wavering front coupled with the weak southward surge of the ll frontal boundary Sunday and the proximity of the FA to deeper moisture (SE Nebraska), expect that moisture profiles should not be too far off in current GFS/NAM progs, which should support a good chance of supercell TS with potential upscale growth into a large severe MCS tracking NE across the central FA (just north of the sfc low), esp given LLJ development Monday night. Storms would likely fire in WY (possibly just south of our FA Monday evening) and shift NE and expand over the region Monday night. Large hail, damaging winds, and isolated tornadoes would be possible (given highly curved LL hodographs), with potential QLCS tendencies later Monday night. Cooler but mainly dry conds can be expected after Monday, with perhaps a few diurnal showers under the upper low Tues across NE WY. Upper flow will then trend WNW with subtle impulses in the flow perhaps supporting slight chances for SHRA/TS at times, but nothing to warrant a pop mention attm. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS Through 00Z Sunday Evening) Issued At 519 PM MDT Sat Jun 10 2017 TSRA will develop this evening across northeast WY/Black Hills region and then spread east/northeast overnight. MVFR CIGS/VSBYS will occur with the strongest storms along with hail/gusty winds. Outside of TSRA, VFR conditions will prevail through the period. && .UNR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... SD...None.
