.SHORT TERM...(Today through Tuesday Afternoon)
Issued at 335 AM CDT Mon Jul 26 2021
LLJ/outflow boundary showers/storms in the eastern cwa will be
dissipating/moving east into the early morning hours. Otherwise,
waa/accas storms were developing in south central nd/north central
sd early this morning. Believe these will continue to develop/move
southeast through the morning hours. Therefore, made adjustments to
pops for both of these areas of convection this morning. Otherwise,
after these areas of convection end, expect new development mainly
across northeast sd and west central mn this afternoon and evening
on the edge of the warm mid level capping. The outflow boundary from
this mornings convection and llj will result in good ll moisture
convergence across our northeast cwa. With steep mid level lapse
rates with increasing instability and decent deep layer wind shear,
expect storms to redevelop this afternoon/evening and track
southeast across northeast sd and west central mn. There is a
marginal risk of severe weather across our northeast cwa. Otherwise,
with warmer air building in today and Tuesday as the upper level
high pressure area expands and closes off over the central U.S., the
heat will also expand across our cwa. With abundant sunshine and dry
soils, highs in the 90s and 100s still look on track for both today
and Tuesday. With the combination of heat and humidity, will go with
a heat advisory for the James Valley and west today and most of the
cwa on Tuesday.
.LONG TERM...(Tuesday Evening through Sunday)
Issued at 335 AM CDT Mon Jul 26 2021
The period begins on Wednesday with a surface low pressure system
and associated frontal boundary crossing the region. Per the 0Z
ECMWF, 700 mb temps over much of this CWA at 18Z Wednesday could
reach +15 to +18C. The warm temperatures aloft, along the ongoing
drought should create highs from 90 to 110 degrees. The coolest
temperatures will be felt over northeast SD and western MN, or where
the 700 mb cap is the weakest. A few late afternoon/evening
thunderstorms could be possible over the northeast portion of the
CWA on Wednesday. High pressure, along with cooler temperatures
aloft will progress across the NE portion of the region on Thursday
and Friday, with more seasonal high temperatures. Thursday night
through Friday will also support the potential for pcpn, mainly for
central and south central SD. Seasonal temperatures, along with
mostly dry conditions are anticipated for the weekend.

.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Tuesday Morning)
Issued at 655 AM CDT Mon Jul 26 2021
Terminals KABR,KATY,KPIR,KMBG
Showers and storms affecting MBG, ABR, and ATY early this morning
will move away through the morning hours possibly bringing 3 to 5
mile vsbys to these locations. Otherwise, expect VFR conditions
through the rest of the forecast period with storms possibly
reforming close to ABR and ATY late this afternoon and evening.
