Area forecast discussion, Jun 27, 6:47 AM CDT, 1 hour 26 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Aberdeen SD 647 AM CDT Wed Jun 27 2018 .UPDATE... Issued at 638 AM CDT Wed Jun 27 2018 See the updated aviation discussion below. && .SHORT TERM...(Today and Tonight) Issued at 145 AM CDT Wed Jun 27 2018 Tracking several cells west river and the consensus from SPC and as is indicated by CAMS to become mainly a wind producer as it heads southeast along the gradient of MUCAPE with around 1000j/kg DCAPE. This convection will force a surface front down into south central South Dakota by morning, while dry air filters in from North Dakota into our northern tier. The convective boundary may be a focus for additional convection, however we will see some ridging aloft today, with no waves evident, though 700mb temperatures only begin to see strong warm advection tonight. CAMS hint that any convection will be weak and isolated under the lack of forcing aloft, even though GFS BUFKIT profiles are unstable - so its something to watch but probably won't be an issue. .LONG TERM...(Thursday through Tuesday) Issued at 145 AM CDT Wed Jun 27 2018 Weak ridging will give way to southwest flow aloft on Thursday. Plenty of energy moving through this pattern, and the severe setup is looking quite favorable (3000+ J/KG of CAPE, 40 KTS of 0-6 KM shear, 8 C/KM 700-500 MB lapse rates, 15 KTS of 0-1 KM shear) however, the tricky part of the forecast will be how strong and how far north the CAP sets up and inhibits development. Most models are showing 700 mb temps across the northern CWA anywhere from 13 C to 15 C (up to 17 C across the southern CWA) by 00Z Friday. If storms can develop in our CWA it will likely be across the far north, otherwise, it looks like it is going to be mainly a North Dakota show. Most deterministic models suggest an MCS developing over western ND and tracking east Thursday night into Friday morning. The surface low and associated cold front track across the CWA Friday morning, likely setting up just on the eastern edge of our CWA by Friday afternoon/evening. Models still show surface dewpoints quite high across the far eastern CWA, so it will just be a matter of timing of the front as to weather storms develop in our CWA or east of our CWA. Otherwise, the upper level trough approaches and models are showing post frontal thunderstorm development late Friday through they day Saturday. A zonal flow pattern returns for Sunday and the beginning of the work week. Temperatures rise and moisture returns the region by the Tuesday/Wednesday time frame. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Thursday Morning) Issued at 638 AM CDT Wed Jun 27 2018 An area of showers and thunderstorms continues to track east southeast across parts of central South Dakota this morning. Several rounds of thunderstorms will impact the KPIR terminal through 14Z, including the potential for heavy rain, gusty winds, and small hail. Further east, light rain and fog is reducing VSBY to IFR category in the KATY region. The system is expected to exit the region by this afternoon, and VFR conditions will follow. && .ABR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... SD...None. MN...None. && UPDATE...Serr SHORT TERM...Connelly LONG TERM...Serr AVIATION...Serr
