AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Sioux Falls SD
645 AM CDT Wed Jul 17 2019

.SHORT TERM...(Today and Tonight)
Issued at 446 AM CDT Wed Jul 17 2019

Very complicated convective forecast for the next 12-24 hours.
Current complex of storms in south central South Dakota not well
handled by various CAMs as far as specific location, with most too
far north with ongoing activity pushing into our southwest counties
as of 09Z. However, general idea of this main complex pushing east
across our CWA through the morning, exiting by around 16Z, is
similar among the various solutions. Expect to see strong to severe
winds as it pushes across the southern CWA early this morning, but
believe there will be a general weakening trend after mid morning,
as the low level jet begins its diurnal downtrend. Track of this
complex will be key to potential for development later today though,
as it will likely leave one or more well-defined outflow boundaries
in its wake, which may become a focal point for isolated storm
development by mid-late afternoon. With lack of strong consensus on
the track of this complex, there is likewise a lack of consensus on
where the primary boundary will be located later today. RAP/HRRR,
3km NAM and ARW seem to favor early evening development somewhere in
the neighborhood of southwest MN to the Iowa Great Lakes, so will
focus higher pops here for now, but this will likely be adjusted
given the more southern track of the early morning complex.

While confidence is low in the location of potential late afternoon
development, forecast soundings lead to higher confidence that any
storms, particularly those along boundaries, could quickly become
severe, with all modes of severe weather possible. Deep layer shear
in excess of 40-50kt and MUCAPE of 2-3kJ/kg or higher support large
hail and isolated tornadic threat from supercells. This threat looks
to be mainly very late afternoon-mid evening in our area, with
stronger storms pushing east of the forecast area by late evening.

Cannot rule out some lingering showers/storms hanging back into the
area through the overnight, but generally looking for a much calmer
period late tonight through Thursday.

In addition to the convective concerns, will also have to highlight
the heat and humidity which will be with us for this latter half of
the week. Have transitioned Excessive Heat Watch to a Warning from
this afternoon through early Friday evening for our lower Missouri
River Valley counties, and eastward toward Plymouth and Ida counties
in northwest Iowa. This area has greatest likelihood of seeing heat
indices top 100, and potentially above 105 for multiple days. Have
issued a heat advisory bordering the warning for this afternoon, and
left most of the watch in place, but pushed the start time back to
Thursday afternoon.

.LONG TERM...(Thursday through Tuesday)
Issued at 446 AM CDT Wed Jul 17 2019

Time has been limited this morning with focus on near-term severe
convective threat, but mid-long range of the forecast looks to be
trending toward somewhat cooler and drier. Will still see heat
indices in the advisory to warning range across southeast parts of
the area into Friday, this ahead of a cool front pushing across
the region. This could bring enough cooling to western parts of
the existing Excessive Heat Watch by Friday, but with uncertainty
in timing of the front, will leave the watch in place through
Friday as far west as Charles Mix County for now.

.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Thursday morning)
Issued at 644 AM CDT Wed Jul 17 2019

Line of severe storms passing between KFSD and KSUX to start this
TAF period, with broad area of showers and embedded thunder north
of I-90. This activity expected to wind down after 15Z. Scattered
showers/storms will remain possible into the early afternoon, with
greater chance of isolated strong to severe storms developing near
or east of I-29 after 22Z. Location of new development is very
uncertain, but most likely east of KFSD/KSUX, so will not include
any mention of thunder at these locations outside the ongoing
activity early in this period.
