AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Sioux Falls SD
631 PM CDT Sun Aug 30 2020

.SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Monday)
Issued at 247 PM CDT Sun Aug 30 2020

Main focus is on tonight's severe weather risk. Most CAMs and recent
HRRR runs support clustered multicell and supercell (some strong to
severe) storms developing in central SD early this evening. This
occurs just ahead of the approaching cold front moving into central
and eastern SD early this evening. An elevated mixed layer evident
on water vapor imagery across central and eastern SD has prompted
development of very steep mid and low level lapse rates, MLCAPE of
2500-3500 J/kg, and DCAPE of 1000-1600 J/kg over central SD. Surface
observations show low level moisture pooling ahead of the front with
dew points in the mid 60s and temperatures in the 80s, combined with
mainly southeast surface winds. Nice low level curvature is evident
on model hodographs near KHON, aided by low level jet influence.
These combined ingredients favor a threat for large hail exceeding
golf ball size, damaging wind gusts of up to 70 mph, and a tornado
or two being possible with the strongest storms tonight.

Model soundings and cumulus field development suggest storm
initiation as the cap breaks somewhere in the 4-7 pm window roughly
along axis from Aberdeen to Chamberlain. 0-6km bulk shear of 30-40
kts should allow for organized storms to persist, with modest mid
level winds prompting a tendency for storms to cluster together.
Most model guidance supports the main severe weather threat
remaining north of I-90 through around 10 pm tonight and storms
mostly being east of I-29 by midnight. Isolated showers and storms
are still possible along and south of I-90, but are favored to
have lesser coverage.

Along with and behind the front, expect winds to turn northerly and
become gusty. Additional showers and isolated storms are possible
behind the front as well, although severe weather threat is negated
with this activity. Did keep rain chances in overnight for much of
the region for this potential.

Much drier and cooler air moves in immediately behind the front as
an upper longwave trough digs into the region. Expect lows to fall
into the 50s tonight, coolest in central SD further west where skies
begin to clear and the driest air moves in soonest. Dry surface high
pressure moves in for Monday, bringing cooler high temperatures in
the 70s to near 80 degrees and light and variable winds.

.LONG TERM...(Monday Night through Sunday)
Issued at 247 PM CDT Sun Aug 30 2020

Unfortunately little to no relief is ahead for those wanting rain in
the upcoming work week. For Monday night through early Wednesday,
several rain-making disturbances are poised to track south of the
immediate region. With an upper trough axis in the vicinity and
drier northwest flow aloft, drier weather with near seasonal
temperatures prevails during this period.

On Wednesday, a disturbance to our north should bring a period of
warm air advection and warmer weather again with highs approaching
90 degrees. While this disturbance looks to bring a front through
the region by Thursday, Gulf moisture is mostly blocked by a system
to the south yielding mainly dry weather. The bigger impact mid
week, other than a period of hotter summery weather, looks to be
periods of breezy winds from a tighter surface pressure gradient.

Late week, there is little change to the weather pattern with drier
weather and generally seasonal temperatures persisting, but there is
some low confidence chance of more widespread rain with a late
weekend system.

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Monday evening)
Issued at 631 PM CDT Sun Aug 30 2020

Scattered thunderstorms will move east across the forecast area
through the first 1/2 of this TAF period. Have attempted to
pinpoint some favored time frames for impacts of convective
activity at TAF locations, though timing comes with increased
uncertainty as we approach the I-29 corridor late evening into the
overnight hours.

Cold front and associated upper wave triggering the storms will
be followed by gusty north-northwest winds for several hours
during the pre-dawn to mid-morning hours, with gusts occasionally
topping 25kt. Winds gradually subside through the remainder of the
day.
