Severe Thunderstorm Warning 39, NWS Rapid City, SD

Area Forecast Discussion For Western SD and Northeastern WY
National Weather Service Rapid City SD
213 PM MDT Sat May 23 2020

.DISCUSSION...(This Evening Through Saturday)
Issued at 212 PM MDT Sat May 23 2020

Upper level analysis has the forecast area in southwest flow,
with an upper low over western Wyoming/eastern Idaho and another low
further north over Canada. Both of these upper lows are creating a
long wave trough down the Rockies, allowing Pacific moisture to
stream up from the southwest. At the surface, a nearly stationary
boundary is draped from north to south from Manitoba, to
northwestern South Dakota, down into northwestern Colorado. Ahead of
this boundary, strong southerly flow is bringing gulf moisture into
the area. Latest radar shows storms firing along boundary and
convergence zone. Expect storms to keep redeveloping along the
boundary and move north throughout the evening. Hi-res models
continue to show training storms, with over an 1-2" QPF through this
evening and with PWs 150% of average, have issued a flash flood
watch. Low level jet develops this evening, leading to continued
convection over west central and south central South Dakota tonight.

Sunday will be breezy and cooler with some showers possible due to
cold advection aloft. Although much of the area will see dry weather
on Monday, there is a chance of showers over the Black Hills, with
showers and possibly a thunderstorm over parts of southwestern into
south central South Dakota. Tuesday and Wednesday will be dry and
warmer, but low chances of showers and storms return for the end of
the week into the weekend.

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS Through 18Z Sunday)
Issued At 1145 AM MDT Sat May 23 2020

Scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue from the Black
Hills into northwestern South Dakota this afternoon with areas of

conditions, especially from the Black Hills into northwest and
west central SD. Thunderstorms are expected to slowly push
eastward overnight, with some storms lingering into Sunday
morning.

.HYDROLOGY...
Issued at 212 PM MDT Sat May 23 2020

Training storms near and along the stationary front, may lead to
flash flooding over the next several hours. Potential rainfall
from hi-res models indicate patchy areas of 1.5 to 3 inch rainfall
amounts. With PWs over 150% of average, will continue flash flood
watch for the Black Hills and northwestern South Dakota through
