Area forecast discussion, Jun 1, 2:55 PM MDT, 2 hours 48 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion For Western SD and Northeastern WY National Weather Service Rapid City SD 255 PM MDT Fri Jun 1 2018 .DISCUSSION...(This Evening Through Friday) Issued at 255 PM MDT Fri Jun 1 2018 Current surface analysis shows low pressure over north central SD, with cold front stretching southwest across southwestern SD into southeast WY. Surface trough extends south- southeast from the low into central NE. Upper level analysis shows trough over the Northern Rockies moving quickly east-northeast into the Northern Plains. KUDX radar is now showing storms moving quickly northeast across northeast WY, with storms also developing ahead of the front across south central SD. A severe thunderstorm watch is in place through the late afternoon across northeast WY and much of northwest SD. Another watch has been issued for the rest of northwest SD into south central SD through the early evening. Skies are variably cloudy with temps ranging from some 60s across northeast WY to around 90 over south central SD. Active weather is expected across parts of the area through late afternoon/early evening as front pushes east of the area and trough moves into the Northern Plains. There are two main areas of focus for severe weather potential. One area is across far eastern portions of the forecast area, especially south central SD, as the front moves through. Significant instability, MLCAPE of 2000 to 3000 j/kg, has pooled ahead of the front and surface trough, with strong shear in place ahead of the front as well. Cap is weakening sufficiently to allow storm development. Activity should form quickly into a line as the storms develop into central SD. The main threat there should be through about 01z or so, with large hail and damaging wind gusts the main threats. Cannot rule out an isolated tornado as well across south central SD. Further west, the post frontal trough aloft will continue to bring isolated to scattered showers and storms from mainly northeast WY into northwest SD. Drier airmass developing over southwest SD behind front should limit instability and storm potential there. CAPE values will be lower behind the front, but sufficient for isolated severe storms to continue developing through late afternoon, especially with strong lift and steep lapse rates in place. Environment has been favorable for tornadic storms over northern Campbell and Crook counties. Activity should wind down quickly in both threat areas by early evening as drier air moves in from the west. A few lingering showers and storms are expected through late evening as the trough progresses further east across the plains. Breezy and cooler conditions are expected overnight, with lows in the mid 40s to mid 50s. The weekend will start off seasonably mild and dry, but windy, as tighter pressure gradient remains in place behind the exiting system. Highs on Saturday will mostly be in the mid 60s to mid 70s. Dry weather continues Sunday, with highs back in the mid 70s to mid 80s. Warm weather will continue for next week as high pressure develops and builds over the Southern Plains. This will keep the storm track mostly north and west of the forecast area through much of the week, but stronger disturbances will likely be able to break through the ridging and bring at least isolated storms at times. The better chances for this look to be toward the middle and latter parts of the week. && .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. && .UNR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... SD...None.
