Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Sioux Falls SD
432 AM CDT Tue Jul 3 2018

.SHORT TERM...(Today and Tonight)
Issued at 432 AM CDT Tue Jul 3 2018

Heat and humidity begin their return to the region today, with
temperatures expected to climb into the 90s across western portions
of the forecast area today, and dew points in the lower-mid 70s
building northward into most of the CWA. This will result in heat
index readings of 100 to 105 from the Missouri River, east into the
James River Valley this afternoon, and will issue a heat advisory
for these areas today.

Other concern through tonight is convective chances. Most CAMs are
currently too far north in depicting ongoing convection near the
Highway 14 corridor, so confidence in their evolution is not great.
That said, 00Z NAMNest (which was better than the 06Z run in regard
to current activity), and HRRR have hinted at a southward extension
of isolated-scattered cells from the current Lyon County MN storms,
southwestward toward Yankton/Vermillion during the next 2-3 hours.
Storms have been trying to develop around the Missouri River along
this line, but have difficulty sustaining as they track to the
northeast. Thus, aside from the ongoing storms in our north, will
carry only 20-30 pops into the morning for potential development
along this KTKC-KLYV-KYKN line.

As this activity weakens through midday, expect surface flow to
again become southeast-south, with low level boundary in central
South Dakota becoming a focus for late day/evening convection. Bulk
of the models keep this activity west and north of our forecast area
into the overnight hours, with best convergence of the low level jet
well north of Highway 14. However, a couple of solutions indicate a
potential for a cold pool developing from the northern storms, which
may drive an outflow southward into our northern counties, and bring
a small risk of storms into areas north of I-90. While this is the
less likely solution, cannot rule it out completely and will carry
some low pops in our north tonight.

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Monday)
Issued at 432 AM CDT Tue Jul 3 2018

Another hot and humid day for the 4th of July, and may need another
heat advisory for at least southern parts of the forecast area, but
opting to wait on this 1) to lessen confusion with the advisory in
our west today, and 2) some uncertainty in the extent of the warmer
temperatures as they could be impacted by afternoon convection in
some areas.

Regarding holiday storm chances, many models showing a weakness in
the 850mb thermal ridge ahead of the main front Wednesday afternoon.
This would result in a weaker capping inversion, and possibly allow
scattered convection to develop in areas north of Interstate 90 by
mid-late afternoon. Storm chances would then expand through the
evening as a mid-level shortwave slides across the region and drags
the surface front eastward. Instability averages greater than 2kJ/kg
in the late afternoon, then weakens but holds at 1-2kJ/kg into the
evening. Deep layer shear is rather weak, though, so storms may have
difficulty maintaining organization. Cannot argue with primarily
Marginal Risk from SPC, with the Slight Risk into southwest MN where
shear may be slightly stronger. Unfortunately, given potential for
some late afternoon development, storms may impact local fireworks
displays, so will try to refine timing further in later forecasts.

Beyond the holiday, cold front pushes well southward, toward I-80
and I-70 corridors, keeping a cooler air mass in place across the
northern Plains while the upper ridge builds into the region through
the start of the weekend. This should provide dry conditions with
seasonable, to perhaps even slightly below normal temperatures for
the latter part of the week. GFS tries to break down the ridge by
Saturday night/Sunday, allowing for a threat of storms early next
week, but GEM/ECMWF maintain the strength of ridge and keep this
area dry. Will carry a small pop Sunday/Sunday night to account for
GFS solution, but confidence not high in rain chances at this point.

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Tuesday night)
Issued at 1054 PM CDT Mon Jul 2 2018

Thunderstorms will be a threat for KHON through 08Z, though the
main activity will remain north of the TAF site. Otherwise, a low
level jet across the region will result in low level wind shear at
KHON and KFSD through 12Z. Southeasterly winds will increase a bit
on Tuesday, gusting 20 to 25 kts through the afternoon.
