AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Sioux Falls SD
609 PM CDT Tue Sep 10 2019

.SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Wednesday)
Issued at 303 PM CDT Tue Sep 10 2019

There is likely a very busy night ahead as a deep trough of low
pressure across the Rockies spreads an upper level wave onto the
Plains. This will gradually increase the low and mid level flow and
bring much more unstable air into the area this evening. Severe
weather and heavy rainfall are both expected with this event. There
will be two areas to watch for severe and heavy rainfall potential.
The first will see thunderstorms expand in coverage across southwest
SD and north central NE late this afternoon. This cluster of storms
is expected to become organized and move east and northeast through
the evening and overnight. With deep layer shear, likely close to 50
knots, and moisture ramping up and isolated to scattered
thunderstorms should quickly evolve into a linear system. The
surface to 3 km shear vectors are from about 220 degrees at 30 to 40
knots which is plenty strong to support the potential for QLCS
tornadoes embedded within the main line of storms if a strong linear
system evolves. So any segments of this line moving to the northeast
will need to be watched closely. This severe weather threat appears
most likely from about 2z to 8z tonight and would likely be closest
to the surface to 900 mb boundary, which for now appears to be
roughly along and south of Interstate 90. It looks like the only
thing that could slow this down is if the surface to 900mb layer
remains capped. Will have to watch south central SD from about 23z
to 2z for the potential for a surface based or near surface based
storm ahead of the main line. A storm in that environment would
likely produce a fairly strong supercell but for now most if not all
models indicate capping diminishing this threat.

The other area to watch will be roughly from 2z to 5z in far eastern
SD, southwest MN and northwest IA. The LLJ will quickly increase
this evening and deliver strong convergence and instability to this
area. With the elevated nature of these storms hail will be the main
threat. Deeper shear does support the potential for a couple of
supercells so some larger hail to golf ball size will be possible.

Along with the severe threat is also a heavy rain threat with he
potential for backing winds into Wednesday and additional
development to the west. The best chance for continued heavy
rainfall would be north of Interstate 90 which would be more in line
with the 900 mb to 800 mb layer.

Wednesday morning will see the threat for a few thunderstorms across
southwest MN and west down highway 14. Capping will likely settle
over much of the area from late morning into mid afternoon as weak
ridging aloft moves through between the exiting wave and the next
incoming wave. So for now not expecting much activity from about 14z
through 22z. The next question will be where does the low level to
surface boundary end up settling into. Right now looking like the
925 mb front will be just north of Interstate 90 while the surface
front will be near and possibly just south. The reason that this is
important is that there may be some potential for surface or near
surface convection to develop, and with the expected instability and
shear a few supercells would be likely. The better chances would be
south of Interstate 90 and west of highway 81.

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday Night through Tuesday)
Issued at 303 PM CDT Tue Sep 10 2019

The main wave and cold front aloft swings onto the Plains Wednesday
night into Thursday and should expand coverage of thunderstorms
again on Wednesday night. There will be a continued threat for heavy
rainfall and severe weather.

Southwest MN and northwest IA could see some severe potential on
Thursday but right now it appears that the cooler and drier air will
settle in too quickly.

Friday will be cooler and breezy as deep westerly flow develops in
the wake of this strong wave. Expect some gusts of 35 mph or so.

Temperatures will warm on Saturday and a few thunderstorms will be
possible as a ridge builds to the west. By Sunday upper level
ridging will begins to strengthen overhead and a trough deepens over
the Western United States. This ridge is expected to continue into
mid week so expecting above normal temperatures Saturday through mid
week with mainly dry conditions expected.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Wednesday evening)
Issued at 602 PM CDT Tue Sep 10 2019

Showers and thunderstorms will increase in coverage through the
evening into the overnight hours. Some of the storms will be
severe with heavy rainfall. Later tonight into Wednesday morning
IFR and MVFR ceilings will likely develop along and north of the
surface warm front. More showers and thunderstorms are expected
tommorow night.

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for northwest Iowa, west central
Iowa, southwest Minnesota, northeast Nebraska, central South
Dakota, east central South Dakota, south central South Dakota and
southeast South Dakota.

.DAY ONE...Today and tonight.

Thunderstorms are expected to develop this evening in south central
South Dakota. Initial storms will be capable of hail to the size of
golf balls or a bit larger, winds to 70 mph and isolated tornadoes.
The storms will congeal into bowing segments during the evening
capable of wind gusts to 80 mph, hail of half dollar size and even
an isolated tornadoes moving across southeast South Dakota and into
adjacent sections of northwest Iowa and southwest Minnesota toward
midnight. A few severe storms may also precede the advancing larger
linear storms during the evening hours in northwest Iowa and
southwest Minnesota.

In addition to the severe weather threat, locally heavy rainfall is
possible, as much as 2 to 4 inches in some locations overnight.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday.

Another round of thunderstorms is likely from later Wednesday
afternoon through Wednesday night. Severe storms will be possible,
capable of large hail, damaging wind and tornadoes. Locally heavy
rainfall will again be possible, especially north of Interstate 90.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation will likely be needed between 6 pm and 2 am.
