Area forecast discussion, Jul 3, 8:04 PM CDT, 2 hours 27 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Aberdeen SD 804 PM CDT Tue Jul 3 2018 .UPDATE... Issued at 801 PM CDT Tue Jul 3 2018 Allowed heat advisory to expire. Developing thunderstorms are adding to the cloud cover and temperatures are dropping in areas receiving rain. Drier spots across south central SD will slowly cool after sunset. UPDATE Issued at 630 PM CDT Tue Jul 3 2018 Made a few tweaks to evening pops based on latest HRRR and current radar returns. Otherwise, forecast remains on track for the overnight period with two rounds of storms possible. && .SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Wednesday) Issued at 223 PM CDT Tue Jul 3 2018 Convection remains the main challenge in the short range. Instability continues to increase across the region this afternoon as diabatic heating continues. However, deep layer shear is probably slackening as the mid level westerlies retreat to the north this afternoon and evening. Also, heights continue to build across the region with warming temps aloft. Meanwhile, ll shear will remain decent through tonight given continued llj, and its diurnal increase this evening. The CAMS and non-CAMS are at odds concerning convective development in the northeast toward evening. The HRRR is somewhat aggressive, perhaps picking up on outflow boundaries left behind by the morning convection. Non-CAMS favor activity developing further north, or not at all over the northeast this evening. Later in the evening there is fair agreement that an MCS will fire up over the High Plains, and then head northeast overnight. The main threat with the possible early evening convection will be hail and heavy rain, and the late night activity should favor gusty winds. Nonetheless, confidence in how all this will play out is fairly low attm. Temperatures will be above normal through Wednesday. .LONG TERM...(Wednesday Night through Tuesday) Issued at 223 PM CDT Tue Jul 3 2018 Mid level ridge will expand from the eastern conus, back west to the central conus during the period. The ridge does get knocked down some by passing s/w energy late in the weekend, into early next week. That is likely the best opportunity for any meaningful pcpn during the period, since prior to that the strong mid level ridge should provide for general subsidence across the Northern Plains. Meanwhile, temperatures should remain near to above normal through most of the period. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Wednesday Evening) Issued at 630 PM CDT Tue Jul 3 2018 VFR conditions are expected to prevail except in the vicinity of thunderstorms. Strong winds and large hail will be possible with any storms this evening and overnight. && .ABR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... SD...None. MN...None. && UPDATE...Wise SHORT TERM...TDK LONG TERM...TDK AVIATION...Wise
