Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Aberdeen SD
634 PM CDT Sat Jul 3 2021

.UPDATE...
Issued at 630 PM CDT Sat Jul 3 2021

Cancelled the Red Flag Warning a little early this evening. While
winds remain gusty, the showers and thunderstorms that are moving
through the area are keeping the RH from falling as they have
farther west.

.SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Sunday Night)
Issued at 220 PM CDT Sat Jul 3 2021

Forecast challenges remain TS chances tonight along with
temperatures and fire weather concerns for Sunday.

Currently, under a sunny to mostly sunny sky, temperatures are
warming through the 80s and 90s. Winds are generally from the south
and breezy to windy at times. A surface trof/pseudo warm front is
just about to the western edge of Corson County. MLCIN is continuing
to decrease (down to ~50-75j/kg) while MLCAPE is maintaining around
1500-2000j/kg. And, +12C air at 700hpa has set up across the far
western forecast zones. Still just 20 to 25 knots of deep layer
shear progged for this afternoon/evening.

When the period opens at 00Z this evening, there will probably be a
few thunderstorms ongoing (convective initiation by appx 23Z) per
the latest available CAM and GSM operational solutions, mainly
anchored on the Missouri River valley region of the CWA. As was
mentioned before, ingredients sufficient for strong to severe
organized convection this afternoon/evening are lacking. All of 30
to 40 knots of jet-streak winds aloft will be available to support
weak low level forcing for ascent. DCAPE (strong thunderstorm winds)
is about the only severe-favorable prog running up values up to 1400-
1700j/kg through this evening across the western CWA.

This surface trof/boundary will be overtaken by a cold front later
tonight. The front will continue to work south and east through the
region through the first half of the day on Sunday. Not really much
in the way of low level caa on Sunday while mid/upper level heights
rise Sunday into Sunday night, but dry air advection will be
notable. Another look at wind progs in BUFKIT suggests the potential
for hitting Red Flag wind criteria is not very probable, so no Fire
Weather headlines for Sunday at this time, although, afternoon
relative humidity values are still forecast to fall 15 to 20
percent. Given how warm forecast temperatures are supposed to be on
Sunday, heat indices may top 100 degrees during peak heating Sunday
afternoon. But, at the same time, where the heat index is 100F, the
ambient air temperature is 101F or 102F. So, no considerations at
this time for a heat advisory across the southern half of forecast
zones on Sunday.

.LONG TERM...(Monday through Saturday)
Issued at 220 PM CDT Sat Jul 3 2021

Monday appears to be the warmest day through the long term portion
of the forecast with highs in the 90s, to perhaps around 100
degrees. A storm system crossing the region Monday night through
Tuesday evening will bring the potential for widespread, much needed
rainfall. The GEFS probability of seeing 0.25 inches of QPF has
increased some from yesterday's 12Z model run with the prob now
around 35-60 percent. WPC's Day 3 QPF as most of the CWA receiving
0.50 to 1.75 inches. Hopefully, the area will see this much needed
rainfall. Highs on Tuesday will be significantly cooler due to
widespread cloud cover, showers, and cool low level thermal
profiles. With the NBM on the higher side of other guidances,
have lowered highs a few degrees, with temperatures mostly in the
low to mid 70s. After a dry Wednesday, and mostly dry Thursday,
another storm system could bring showers and thunderstorms back
into the area Friday through Saturday. As of now, the most
significant pcpn may occur over northeastern South Dakota, and
western Minnesota. That said, confidence is low with regards to
impacts with this system.
