Area forecast discussion, Jun 5, 8:59 PM MDT, 55 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Aberdeen SD 959 PM CDT Tue Jun 5 2018 .UPDATE... Issued at 959 PM CDT Tue Jun 5 2018 Updated forecast for the severe thunderstorm watch earlier and to increase pops across the cwa. Quite a bit of convection has developed out west and was moving east this evening. UPDATE Issued at 655 PM CDT Tue Jun 5 2018 00z aviation discussion updated below. && .SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Wednesday Afternoon) Issued at 339 PM CDT Tue Jun 5 2018 CAMs have trended just a tad further south into northern SD with their convective activity overnight. Interesting trend recently, but did not quite bite on the higher POPs the ECAM shows. Would like to see a few more hours of agreement before raising POPs. Nonetheless, it does appear as the surface low/frontal boundary crosses the region tonight, scattered showers and thunderstorms will develop within an environment capable of producing hail and gusty winds. Left mention of T+ in the grids overnight as well. For Wednesday, cooler temperatures and breezy north winds will be felt behind the frontal boundary. There may be some leftover morning convection across the eastern CWA, but activity should move out through the morning hours, making way for drying conditions during the day. .LONG TERM...(Wednesday Evening through Tuesday) Issued at 339 PM CDT Tue Jun 5 2018 The main challenge in this period will be chances and timing of precipitation. The pattern really hasn't changed much since the last major forecast issuance. It will feature an upper ridge in place across the central portion of the country. Riding up and over this ridge will be s/w troughs that will work their way through our region. Difficult to pin down timing or placement of any of these disturbances in the outer periods. Surface boundaries or a frontal zone is progged to be positioned in the region during this time, so there will be a focus area for periodic convection to fire across the area. Because of the timing issue, it's challenging this far out to nail down when or if and where convection will take place. By late in the weekend into early next week, the upper ridge is expected to be shoved eastward as a long wave trough/upper low slides across the Pacific Northwest into the Northern High Plains. Temperatures aren't expected to change much with above normal readings expected for the entire period. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Wednesday Evening) Issued at 655 PM CDT Tue Jun 5 2018 VFR conditions are expected at all locations through tonight and Wednesday. A cold front moving through the region tonight will bring thunderstorms along with it. These may affect MBG, ABR, and ATY at or in the vicinity during this time. && .ABR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... SD...None.
