BAWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this river flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Sioux Falls, SD wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Apr 5, 10:30 PM CDT, 4 hours 29 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 5, 10:30 PM CDT, 4 hours 29 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Sioux Falls SD 1030 PM CDT Fri Apr 5 2019 .SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Saturday) Issued at 448 PM CDT Fri Apr 5 2019 Has taken much of the day, but now have largely mixed out the stratus and fog from earlier in the day, with other mid clouds in place over southeast SD/northeast NE into southwest MN/northwest IA. Temps struggling a bit more in the 50s near quadrant north of I-90 and east of I-29 with longer time in the clouds/fog, but as warm as the lower 70s in the Missouri River valley. Southerly flow has strengthened today, with low-level jet developing ahead of weak wave moving into far western SD. Short term concerns largely deal with precipitation trends over the next 36 to 48 hours. Going into tonight, the wave in western SD will traverse across the state riding the broad flat ridge, with increasing theta-e advection into south central by early evening, and shifting to focus mainly near and east of I-29 heading after midnight as nose of low-level. jet veers. A decent higher based MLCAPE evolves this evening, and a lions share of short range guidance indicates that scattered convection should initiate at some point early this evening. While most of this is indicated initially north of I-90, also watching some mid clouds across northeast NE which are shifting east and northeast, and this could become an additional focal point. Should get some additional stratus and fog developing with strong southerly gradient in place, but fog mainly limited to spots north of I-90. Lingering lighter precip east of I-29 should end during the morning, leaving behind quite a few clouds. These clouds could become a significant issue heading into Saturday in terms of warming potential. With lack of stratus, could easily see mainly upper 60s to upper 70s across the area. Most likely area to break out, most quickly as well, would be areas toward south central SD. With a little warmer surge ahead of frontal boundary sagging into the area late day, should see some readings well into the upper 70s. While there looks to remain a cap in place, if temps warm to degree expected out west, does appear as if there is enough potential instability to even squeeze out a marginally strong storm west of the James River during the very late afternoon or early evening. Shear suggests anything would be very pulsy and short-lived, at least in terms of max strength. Otherwise, approach of the main upper level system from the southwest through Nebraska during the later afternoon should push a more disorganized area of elevated showers and isolated thunder toward the lower Missouri River toward evening, as a little more stable air sneaks in toward northwest IA from the south/southeast. .LONG TERM...(Saturday Night through Friday) Issued at 448 PM CDT Fri Apr 5 2019 Core of precipitation with the mid-upper level dynamics looks like it will evolve through areas near/east of I-29 overnight Saturday night, while other precipitation focuses closer to the lower level frontogenetic boundary dropping in from the northwest. Elevated instability suggests that scattered thunder should be present. QPF at any specific site is apt to be heavier, but as an areal average, a good quarter to half inch is likely. A period of more pleasant weather will evolve later Sunday into Monday, once we shake the lingering clouds and some earlier day precipitation on Sunday. Progressive upper pattern will bring a more westerly flow into the area Sunday into Monday, but also keep cold air behind the weekend system from making any significant intrusion. Mainly 60s should occur Sunday, and with another weak wave passing north of the area Monday, a push of warmer air ahead of an advancing front should lead to mostly 70s as stratus should be out of the equation for this warmup. A cold front drops across the area around Monday night with little impact other than to initiate a cooldown early next week. There could be a couple of light showers/sprinkles as the mid level boundary settles in on Monday night, and they will watch as a stronger zone of mid-level frontogenesis evolves near the Missouri River later Tuesday into Wednesday, acting as potential focus for precipitation. Now to address the elephant in the room - the system for the middle portions of next week. Acknowledgement here that most guidance suggests a system in the plains, but the track is highly variable with uncertain influence of the northern stream portion of the wave, even within ensembles of various models. GEFS showing tremendous variability in potential amounts and track of the system, with operational solutions from almost no impact to a significant spring snow storm. Way too uncertain to lock on to any particular solution at this time - and the message is pay less to details in the forecast at this point and more just to keep a watch on how things evolve over the next several days. In general, a cooler and wet view fits the expected pattern by Wednesday and Wednesday night. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Saturday night) Issued at 1026 PM CDT Fri Apr 5 2019 Showers and thunderstorms will work eastward through the night. KHON will likely see the least impact and KSUX should see a glancing blow. The more organized activity will be around KFSD from about 5z through 8z. After the thunderstorms shift east some MVFR and possibly IFR will settle southward. && .FSD WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... SD...NONE. MN...NONE. IA...NONE.
