Area forecast discussion, Aug 22, 3:03 PM CDT, 37 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Aberdeen SD 303 PM CDT Sun Aug 22 2021 .SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Monday Night) Issued at 303 PM CDT Sun Aug 22 2021 One area of convection was leaving the eastern part of the region this afternoon with the next area yet to develop in central sd. Dryline/surface trough in central sd will be the focus of scattered thunderstorm development yet this afternoon. Satellite was beginning to the show towering cu along this dryline. A narrow ribbon of higher moisture and subsequent better instability was forming in advance of this dry line as it moves east. The surface and ll winds were strong this afternoon with good deep layer shear of over 50 knots. With cooling aloft and mid level lapse rates of up to 8C, scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop and move east across the cwa into the late evening. Some severe storms are expected with large hail and damaging winds. With lower lcls in the slightly cooler air along with good 0-1km winds, a tornado will be possible. Otherwise, this will move quickly east by midnight with clear skies and winds going light tonight. With the light winds, clearing skies, and recent and expected rainfall, patchy to areas of fog are expected to form across the eastern cwa. On Monday, the winds will turn southeast and increase through the day as the next short wave trough comes in from the west. Good waa in advance of this trough will bring back chances of showers and storms to the region Monday night. Monday will be mostly sunny with highs ranging from the mid 80s northeast cwa to the mid 90s southwest. .LONG TERM...(Tuesday through Sunday) Issued at 303 PM CDT Sun Aug 22 2021 Tuesday will likely start off with some leftover pcpn in portions of our eastern zones as a sfc low and upper s/w energy move eastward exiting the forecast area. Weak ridging aloft and sfc high pressure briefly build in late Tuesday into Wednesday. Temperatures are expected to be above normal to start off the period on Tuesday with daytime readings in the 80s to low 90s. We look to cool off behind a departing front on Wednesday with temps closer to average if not just shy of late August norms. The remainder of the forecast that takes us through the end of the upcoming weekend remains relatively unchanged from previous forecast packages. The weather pattern will remain a fairly active one with rounds of pcpn chances sprinkled throughout each day. Successive s/w's of energy aloft in the southwest oriented flow pattern combined with sfc frontal boundaries and/or fropas will lead to maintaining PoPs Thursday through Sunday. Though it remains to be clear this far out if any of these chances will bring any meaningful rainfall to most areas of the CWA. Temperature trends through the end of the week will have readings holding close to if not just a bit below normal for this time of year. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Monday Afternoon) Issued at 1254 PM CDT Sun Aug 22 2021 Terminals KABR,KATY,KPIR,KMBG Showers and storms are expected to affect the ABR and ATY airports at or in the vicinity early this afternoon before more showers and storms develop later this afternoon and evening. This second round of showers/storms could again affect ABR and ATY as the responsible upper level lift and surface trough moves/pushes east. Otherwise, gusty winds from the south southwest at 15 to 30 knots will become west northwest into the early evening and then become light tonight. With the recent rainfall, light winds, and clear skies tonight expect some MVFR fog to form at both ABR and ATY with possible lower IFR vsbys at times. && .ABR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
