Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Sioux Falls SD
653 AM CDT Wed Jul 4 2018

.SHORT TERM...(Today and Tonight)
Issued at 412 AM CDT Wed Jul 4 2018

Active forecast in the next 24 hours with a slight risk for severe
weather and excessive rainfall.  On the large scale, low pressure
system moving out of eastern Saskatchewan is expected to lift into
central Manitoba today. Attendant cold front across central South
Dakota this morning is expected to work east through the day and
become the focus for additional convection later today.

This morning, a series of convective complexes rolling across the
plains. With storms remaining elevated, limited shear and
instability will keep severe weather chances to a minimum, with the
exception of wind.  Downdraft CAPE is in the 1200-1500 J/kg range
with inverted V type soundings near the surface. While CAMs have
been making adjustments with each iteration, appears there is a
decent chance of elevated storms moving across the forecast area
through the morning hours.  Thereafter,  there is some question as
to how much clearing will develop, but with very sultry airmass in
place, certainly has the potential to be another warm and muggy day
ahead of the front.  Have coordinated a heat advisory for the
eastern portions of the forecast area. By late in the day, potential
to see heat index values of 100-105 across the advisory area.

With muggy airmass, surface based CAPE values approach 3-4K with a
deteriorating cap.  CAMs are in general agreement that convection
will try to redevelop after 22Z.  Precipitable water values spike to
2-2.5" as models develop convection.  What is concerning is corfidi
vectors shrink to near zero across northwest Iowa through the
evening hours as the front is moving through.  With very moist
environment and deep warm cloud depths, have raised QPF to 1.5-2
inches along the South Dakota/ Nebraska border into northwest Iowa.
With these amounts in the neighborhood of 1-3 hour flash flood
guidance, am concerned about reinvigorating the flooding potential
across northwest Iowa, but confidence in precise location is not
there for a watch at this point.  Will continue to monitor for the
potential for a watch later today.

In terms of severe, shear is very weak, so expect best hail
potential with initial updraft development. Thereafter, main
severe threat to be wind if storms can organize and heavy rain.

.LONG TERM...(Thursday through Tuesday)
Issued at 412 AM CDT Wed Jul 4 2018

Front works south of the area overnight and cooler and drier
conditions are expected to develop across the northern plains.
Relatively quiet weather is expected through the remainder of the
week with a gradual warming trend through Sunday. Have not adjusted
much in the extended with active period in the short term.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Thursday morning)
Issued at 644 AM CDT Wed Jul 4 2018

Band of showers and thunderstorms working east is expected to hold
together working into southwest Minnesota. Also an outflow
boundary will impact Sioux Falls shortly before 13Z, creating
gusty winds for a few hours similar to KHON and KMHE. Expected
ceilings and visibilities to remain VFR through the morning.

Additional convection is expected to develop after 22Z. Some
storms may producing large hail, wind gusts to 60 knots, and very
heavy rain reducing visibility below IFR at times. These storms
are expected to work into central Iowa and Minnesota towards 12Z
Thursday.
