AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Sioux Falls SD
1248 AM CDT Fri Jun 5 2020

.UPDATE...
Issued at 642 PM CDT Thu Jun 4 2020

Scattered storms continue to develop in the vicinity of a frontal
boundary from Sheldon to Sioux Rapids and locally enhanced
instability. Thus far the main threats with storms in this region
have been small hail, gusty winds, and frequent lightning amidst
weaker mid level lapse rates, but cannot rule out brief large hail
up to 1 inch diameter in a strongly sheared environment in this
small region through sunset.

Further west across central SD, will continue to monitor isolated
severe storms as they track eastward toward the forecast area.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Friday)
Issued at 337 PM CDT Thu Jun 4 2020

The concern in the short term will be the convection chances
overnight.

A weak upper level wave continues to move east and has moved into
northwestern South Dakota per GOES-16 hi-level water vapor image.
Convection has begun to develop along the North and South Dakota
border as well as in the northern Black Hills. Effective shear
remains more than adequate to support supercells with values of
40-50 kts. The problem is the lack of instability due to limited
moisture. As temperatures have approached 90 degrees east of the
James River, dry air just above the surface has mixed out leaving
dew points in the 50s over southwestern Minnesota, east central
South Dakota, and northwestern Iowa. This is combined with 700-500
mb lapse rates that are generally from 6.5 - 7 C/km. As a result
MLCAPES are generally less than 1000 J/kg except in the Missouri
Valley where lapse rates are near 7 C/km and dew points are in the
lower 60s. With limited instability and the lack of any
significant boundary in the area, it is unlikely severe
thunderstorms will develop over the area. Rather, the expectation
is that storms that develop in the vicinity of the Black Hills
will need to propagate into the area following the high MLCAPE
axis from western South Dakota into south-central South Dakota.
For this reason the best chance for severe storms remains in south
central South Dakota where hail up to golf ball size will be
possible with any supercells than can move into the area after
sunset. DCAPE values are less than 1000 J/kg in this area so while
60 mph wind gusts will be possible, wind will be a lesser threat.
Similarly, a weak low level wind field has resulted in 0-1 km
shear of less than 10 kts so that tornadoes appear unlikely. As
these storms move east toward Sioux City, the atmosphere does
become more stable and inflow into the storms will be lacking due
to the absence of any low level jet so that updrafts will slowly
weaken. Maximum hail size should be closer to 1 or 1.25 inches.
The storms are expected to exit the area prior to sunrise on
Friday. That will leave Friday dry with above average
temperatures. While cooler than today, highs will again be from 80
to 85.

.LONG TERM...(Friday Night through Thursday)
Issued at 337 PM CDT Thu Jun 4 2020

The forecast challenge going into the weekend and early next
weekend will be the development and subsequent evolution of a deep
upper trough that will set up over the western US this weekend and
move into the plains early next week.

With the upper trough digging into the western US Friday night,
strong southerly flow will develop across the plains in the
lowest 500 mb of the atmosphere. This will bring very warm air
into South Dakota at and above 700 mb by Saturday morning. The
result will be increasingly steep lapse rates along and west of
the James River toward sunrise. With strong warm air advection at
700 mb and steep lapse rates, there will be a chance for high-
based convection from late Friday night into Saturday morning -
primarily west of the James River although a few cells could
approach I-29. These storms are not expected to be severe. As the
day continues, warmer and more moist air will move in at 850 mb
over much of South Dakota. While the atmosphere will become
increasingly unstable west of I-29, there will be a large cap in
place as 700 mb temps warm to +12 or +14. If the warming aloft is
slower and moisture comes in more quickly around 850 mb, there is
the potential for storms to develop over portions of eastern South
Dakota as a strong upper level short wave/jet streak moves into
the northern High Plains. Should storms develop, effective shear
is around 40 kts so could not rule out some large hail from
elevated supercells. The best chance will be west of the James
River. Any storms that manage to develop should move north of the
area late Saturday night.

On Sunday and Monday, both the NAEFS and ECMWF ensemble are
showing unusually warm air at 700 mb - amongst the warmest seen
for this time of year. The warm anomaly is not as significant at
850 mb. The combination argues that a significant cap is likely to
be in place Sunday and Monday. This will make thunderstorm
development increasingly unlikely as the surface low and front
remain over western South Dakota. Instead, very warm temperatures
in the 90s with dew points climbing well into 60s can be expected.
The surface low and upper trough look to approach the area Monday
night and Tuesday. There remains a lot of uncertainty on the
timing of the frontal passage but when it does go through there
will be a threat of heavy rainfall as there could be training
storms in the deep southerly flow. After the frontal passage,
cooler air with temperature at or even below seasonal averages
can be expected by the middle of next week.

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Friday night)
Issued at 1248 AM CDT Fri Jun 5 2020

Large complex of storms will exit eastern portions of northwest
Iowa through 07-08z, with outflow boundary working southward
through northwest Iowa and far southeast SD with a very brief
period of wind gusts 25 to 30 kts. Otherwise, there could be a
brief period of MVFR visibility around KHON in the near dawn hours
after clearing and with recent precip.
