.SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Monday Night)
Issued at 227 PM CDT Sun Jul 5 2020

Another round of severe weather is likely late this afternoon and
evening across the CWA. Heavy rain is also a possibility. By late
afternoon/early evening, the front should extend from just west
of ABR southwest to just west of PIR. Showers/storms should erupt
along this boundary. The main focus initially may be over the
Missouri valley where a stronger LLJ should focus into the early
evening. After mid-evening, the LLJ seems to lose focus and this
should lead to a downturn in svr probs. However, up to that point
there will be plenty of moisture/instability across the entire
region for any convection to work off of. Deep layer shear will
remain the strongest over portions of north central SD and
possibly as far east as the northern James Valley. Cell movement
is expected to be somewhat slow, and this could lead to some
hefty rain amounts given pwats approaching 1.8 inches. Will need
to keep this in mind, especially over areas that got a lot of rain
last night.

For Monday, expect lingering morning convection over the CWA, but
as the morning wears on expect the pcpn to end as weak frontal
boundary shifts to the southern part of the state. However, WAA
returns to especially the western CWA Monday night with a renewed
chance for overnight convection. Model blend temperatures looks
fine at this time.

.LONG TERM...(Tuesday through Sunday)
Issued at 227 PM CDT Sun Jul 5 2020

Mid 80s to low 90s will continue for highs through the forecast
period. While lows will mainly be in the 60s, low 70s will be likely
Wednesday morning. Off and on showers and thunderstorms will
continue. Dry weather will be more likely Thursday through Friday
morning, and again Saturday night through Sunday night.

By 12Z Tuesday, a 500mb ridge will be over NM up through
NE, with more zonal flow across the Dakotas and MN. Expect the ridge
to briefly build up through the cwa during the day/early evening
hours Tuesday. The next 500mb low across southern
Alberta/Saskatchewan Wednesday morning will cross into southern
Manitoba on Thursday, and exit into Ontario Friday. The result will
be a ridge building back across the Northern Plains from the
southwestern U.S. Friday through Sunday. The only exception to this
ridge looks to be Friday night, with a trough briefly moving in from
the northwest.

Near the surface the area of high pressure over our far northeastern
counties will be exiting the weather picture. We're still looking at
the potential for strong waa with a 40-50 knot LLJ Tuesday night-
Wednesday that could help spark additional storms. At this point the
best chance is along the ND/SD border and north. The cold front look
to cross the eastern counties during the day Wednesday, with the
chance of showers/storms lingering there through Wednesday evening.
