Area Forecast Discussion For Western SD and Northeastern WY
National Weather Service Rapid City SD
1105 AM MDT Fri Jun 1 2018

.DISCUSSION...(Today Through Thursday)
Issued at 310 AM MDT Fri Jun 1 2018

Upper shortwave trough is cross the Pac NW into the northern Rockies
region. Upper ridging over the northern Plains is now shifting into
the upper Midwest. Surface low is centered across central to
northern WY ahead of the approach trough, with a strong LLJ setting
up across the western SD plains. KUDX radar shows last night's storm
activity has pushed off into ND/ncentral SD. However, a few showers
have developed across the Black Hills area and are pushing off to
the NE across the adjacent plains. Another area of weak convection
is across southwest SD. These showers are expected to dissipate
early this morning.

The trough will approach the CWA this morning, with the surface low
crossing the CWA by mid to late morning. As the low crosses the
western Dakotas, a dry line will push through southern portions of
our NE WY zones early this morning, then into SW SD late this
morning. A cold front will then drop into NE WY early this
afternoon, then western SD late this afternoon into the early
evening. These differing air masses across the CWA will lead to
varying results regarding convection today. Over the southern
portions of our NE WY zones into SW SD and plains south of I-
90...not much storm activity is expected as the dry line pushes
through early enough. The air will be too dry for convective
initiation. Across the rest of NE WY, the northern Black Hills area,
and NW SD...better Theta E will remain as the dryline stays to the
south. The cold front will be the main forcing mechanism for
convection to begin. This will begin early this afternoon across NE
WY as the frontal boundary crosses into the CWA, then will be post-
frontal as it pushes into the northern Black Hills/NW SD in the mid
to late afternoon. Shear will not be ideal, but enough mid to upper
level forcing may be present for a few storms to become severe. The
best chance for severe weather will instead be across south central
SD where deep southerly flow will persist through the peak daytime
heating. Deep shear and MLCAPE over 3000 J/kg suggests supercell
development. However. it looks like by the time the line of storms
develop, they will be close to clearing our SCentral SD zones late
this afternoon or early this evening.

Upper ridging will build into the region tonight through the
weekend. Cooler air across the area will result in highs in the 70s
Saturday, then 70s to low 80s Sunday along with plenty of sunshine.
Breezy northwest winds are expected Saturday especially across the
northwest SD plains. Decent chances for storms will return toward
midweek as the upper pattern becomes more active along with above
average temperatures.

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS Through 18Z Saturday)
Issued At 1101 AM MDT Fri Jun 1 2018

An area of MVFR ceilings will persist across portions of
northeast Wyoming through this afternoon. Scattered thunderstorms
will develop across northeast Wyoming early this afternoon...and
over northwest and south central South Dakota by late afternoon.
Some of the thunderstorms may be severe, with large hail and
damaging wind gusts. The thunderstorms will shift east of the area
this evening.
