Area Forecast Discussion

1053 PM CDT Sat Aug 4 2018

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Sunday)
Issued at 334 PM CDT Sat Aug 4 2018

Per water vapor satellite drier air has begun to enter the CWA from
west. At the surface, a weak trough will continue to slide through
the area, bringing the potential for thunderstorms this evening into
the overnight hours. However, with dry air/subsidence already
sweeping through the region, any thunderstorm development looks to
be isolated. In fact, Hi-Res guidance, including HRRR show
minimal activity towards daybreak. That said, kept an isolated
mention this afternoon and evening, and up to a 30 percent chance
in the nighttime, mainly for southwest Minnesota. If storms do
develop, one or two storms could become marginally severe with
gusty winds as the main threat. Lows are expected from the mid to
upper 60s.

Various perturbations will continue to affect the area over the
next few days in a quasi-zonal upper level flow. An upper-level
shortwave trough will move over the central Dakotas on Sunday,
while at the surface a cold front extending from the Upper
Mississippi Valley to the Northern Plains will continue to slide
southward into the CWA. Decent forcing will be in place thanks to
the upper level jet and abundant surface moisture, with dewpoints
in the upper 60s and low 70s ahead of the front. That said,
scattered showers and thunderstorms return in the afternoon hours.
With increasing low to mid level lapse rates and 0-6 km bulk
shear (30-45 knots), strong to severe storms will be possible.

.LONG TERM...(Sunday night through Saturday)
Issued at 334 PM CDT Sat Aug 4 2018

Sunday night will have a better setup for thunderstorms and heavy
rainfall. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will be on the
increase through the overnight hours. Model soundings suggest a deep
saturated layer over northwest Iowa and adjacent areas with PWATs
near to slightly above 2 inches; therefore confidence in periods of
heavy rainfall is increasing. Agreed with WPC in keeping the area
under a slight risk of excessive rainfall.

Several impulses of energy embedded in the flow aloft will continue
to bring chances for showers and storms Monday and Tuesday. It does
not look like a complete washout, but with diurnal heating
isolated storms cannot be ruled out.

Upper-level flow pattern changes by the middle of the week with the
upper ridge building over region from the Pacific Northwest.
Precipitation chances look minimal, though temperatures will trend
slightly upward (near average for August normal) by the end of the
week.

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Sunday night)
Issued at 1041 PM CDT Sat Aug 4 2018

Isolated thunderstorms will be possible across the area
overnight, and could briefly affect TAF sites. There will be
increasing chances across the area on Sunday afternoon and
evening, with the greatest chances at KFSD and KSUX.
