Area forecast discussion, Oct 23, 11:55 AM CDT, 3 hours 15 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Sioux Falls SD 1155 AM CDT Fri Oct 23 2020 .SHORT TERM...(Today and Tonight) Issued at 320 AM CDT Fri Oct 23 2020 650 mb shortwave continues to move eastward across the forecast area this morning. Under this shortwave, a fairly narrow and transient band of 700 mb frontogenesis persists producing a narrow corridor of light accumulating snowfall. The shortwave will exit to the east of the CWA by 15Z this morning, and snowfall accumulations could reach as much as a half inch in some areas. Today: Clouds may prove quite stubborn today, and this may lead to a slight drop in temperatures. High temperatures in a few areas won't reach the 30s, but won't set coldest high temperature records because of the high being established very early this morning. Tonight: Cloud cover remains the biggest challenge to the forecast. Current have temperatures falling into the teens in most locations, based on an influx of mid and high level cloud cover. However, it's possible to see a faster fall in areas with snow cover this evening resulting in a brief period of single digit lows. .LONG TERM...(Saturday through Thursday) Issued at 320 AM CDT Fri Oct 23 2020 This weekend: All eyes remain focused on a very high risk of accumulating snow across the area. Medium range guidance continues to drop an upper trough into the Northern Rockies on Saturday, and this will induce an extended period of warm advection/isentropic lift across the region beginning as early as Saturday morning. Top- down saturation will take a bit of time on Saturday, but by mid-late afternoon we should see snow spread across most of the CWA. An extended period of light to moderate lift will then become established across much of the forecast area well into Sunday. As mentioned in the previous discussion, there are hints as subtle banding enhancements (focused AOA 700 mb) Saturday night into Sunday as a weak shortwave eject northeast into the area. Right now this area would be focused along and just south of the Missouri River. Soundings in general remain very positive to persistent SLR in the 12-14:1 range during the snowfall, but a 20 mph wind could lead to some fracturing of snow crystals and SLR reduction. That said, the consensus snow forecast falls in the 2" to 6" range, which aligns very well with the 25th to 75th percentiles in the plume distribution for the event. It should be noted though that there are a large amount of individual models spread through that aforementioned range (depending on city of choice), likely indicative of the transient nature of the deeper and stronger lift. Localized higher amounts could be possible, but focused mostly on any banding that develops. All in all, this continues to look like a long duration advisory event. Monday-Tuesday: Thanks to fresh snow cover, some of the coldest air we've ever recorded in late October will be headed our way to start the new week. Strong model consensus supports high temperatures in the lower to middle 20s and low temperatures falling into the single digits Sunday night through Tuesday morning. It's possible we'll challenge the top 5 coldest October highs and lows, and may be colder depending on the degree of fresh snow cover. Dry conditions are likely. Wednesday-Thursday: A continued stretch of dry weather is anticipated through the middle and end of next week. Temperatures are really going to struggle to rise with the fresh snow cover, and we'll likely stay 10 to 15 degrees below normal to finish the work week. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Saturday afternoon) Issued at 1151 AM CDT Fri Oct 23 2020 MVFR stratus will continue to shift off to the east into the evening. Northwesterly winds, occasionally gusty, will become light tonight. Otherwise, VFR conditions expected through the remainder of the TAF period. && .FSD WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... SD...NONE. MN...NONE. IA...NONE. NE...NONE. && SHORT TERM...Dux LONG TERM...Dux AVIATION...JM
