Area Forecast Discussion For Western SD and Northeastern WY
National Weather Service Rapid City SD
806 PM MDT Tue Jun 8 2021

.UPDATE...
Issued at 805 PM MDT Tue Jun 8 2021

Red flag warning for Campbell County allowed to expire as RH is
recovering and winds are diminishing.

UPDATE Issued at 703 PM MDT Tue Jun 8 2021

A line of thunderstorms has been developing over northeastern WY
as the stronger upper short-wave trough approaches. Given MLCAPE
of 1000-3000 J/kg over western SD, along with DCAPE of 1500-2000
J/kg, the likelihood of severe wind gusts will increase as the
thunderstorms move into, and across, western SD. The severe watch
may need to be expanded on the eastern side if the storms prove
that they can hold together, but the low-level and deep-layer
shear are not favorable. Otherwise, will allow the red flag
warning to expire at 8 pm for Campbell County.

&&

.DISCUSSION...(This Evening Through Tuesday)
Issued at 335 PM MDT Tue Jun 8 2021

Current surface analysis shows low pressure over far southeast
MT, with warm front extending east-northeast through southern ND
and a cool front to the southwest of the low across northern and
western WY. A dryline has developed to the south of the low across
northeast WY, across eastern Campbell County. Upper level
analysis shows ridge over the MS river valley, with southwest flow
from the Four Corners region to the Northern Plains. Skies are
sunny to partly cloudy at this time with temps in the upper 80s to
mid 90s across the plains, 80s over the Black Hills. A strong
storm has developed in the Philip area in the last hour or so.
Otherwise, regional radars show a cluster of slow moving strong
storms over south central ND that are back building slowly into
far northwest and north central SD near the warm front. with not
much anywhere else at this point. A line of cumulus is starting to
develop along the dryline in northeast WY. Winds are breezy from
the south to southeast across a good portion of the area.
Dewpoints range from the mid to upper 60s toward central SD to the
20s and lower 30s over Campbell County behind the dryline.

A more active pattern can be expected through Thursday, especially
late today/evening and later on Thursday, as disturbances move
through persistent southwest flow across the region. For late today
into tonight, a weak disturbance is noted on water vapor imagery
across southern into central WY, moving north-northeast. South-
southeast winds continue to bring increasing moisture, with MUCAPE
values ranging from 1000 j/kg near the dryline to around 3000 j/kg
across central SD. Steep lapse rates and weakening CIN are noted as
well. Shear is still rather weak across much of the area, but
becomes more favorable over far northwest SD in closer vicinity to
the surface low and warm front. Isolated strong storms will continue
to be possible across most of the area through late afternoon, but
the main action will likely develop along the dryline in northeast
WY very late this afternoon and track east into SD this evening.
Exact timing is still uncertain at this point. Large hail and strong
winds could be dual threats early on, but winds should be the main
concern as the storms move east during the evening. The main areas
of concern will be from far northeast WY into far western SD. Threat
should lessen some further east toward central SD, especially if the
storms are slower to develop. Tornado threat should remain mostly
north of the forecast area, across northeastern MT and western ND.
Activity will move east and eventually taper off overnight.

Wednesday looks to be a mainly dry day across the area as the
frontal boundary settles over the area early and then drifts back to
the north and west. The ridge rebuilds over the region, with upper
level forcing lacking and a stronger cap developing. The best chance
for a storm or two later in the day will be across south central SD
as a weak disturbance crosses the central Plains. Highs will be in
the 90s to near 100 on the plains, 80s and lower 90s over the Black
Hills. Temperatures will be similar on Thursday.

Later Thursday afternoon into the evening looks rather active, with
a similar setup at the surface as today. Low pressure over southeast
MT with a warm front likely stretching into southern ND and a cold
front just to the west of the area. The difference will be a much
stronger shortwave moving across the Northern Rockies into the
Northern Plains later in the day and evening. Dryline will develop
again across northeast WY, possibly reaching near the Black Hills
late in the day. Plenty of instability will build ahead of the front
during the afternoon and shear looks to be more favorable for at
least isolated supercells to develop. As the front eventually gets
pushed through the area by the shortwave during the late day and
evening, a line of storms looks likely to develop, especially over
western into central SD. Strong winds and some large hail will be
the main threats.

A brief cooldown to near average temperatures can be expected for
Friday, but hot conditions will return over the weekend, especially
Sunday and into next week. Chances for storms look rather minimal
through the extended forecast period as ridge gradually builds over
the Rockies and high Plains. Some isolated activity could develop
toward early next week if weak disturbances can move through the
ridge, but will keep forecast dry for now.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS Through 00Z Wednesday Evening)
Issued At 505 PM MDT Tue Jun 8 2021

Ongoing thunderstorms over parts of northwestern SD will pose a
severe threat until early this evening. Elsewhere, thunderstorms
are expected to develop by early evening over northeastern WY, and
then move through the forecast area this evening into the
overnight hours. Strong winds and moderate hail may be possible
with ongoing storms, otherwise VFR conditions are expected through
the TAF period.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued At 335 PM MDT Tue Jun 8 2021

Dry conditions across much of the northeast WY plains over the
last few weeks has dried out fuels sufficiently in many areas,
especially over Campbell County. Breezy south-southwest winds are
in place behind a developing dry line over eastern Campbell
County, bringing very dry air to the west of it. RH has dropped to
8 to 15 percent in much of Campbell County. Red flag or near red
flag conditions will persist into early evening.

Low humidities can be expected again on Wednesday across much of
northeast WY, as low as 10 to 15 percent, but winds look lighter
than today, mostly 10 to 15 mph with some higher gusts in the
afternoon. Thursday looks like a similar setup to today for at least
western portions of northeastern WY: very dry air and breezy south-
southwest winds, along with hot temperatures. At this point,
headlines are looking like they will be needed again across parts of
the northeast WY plains.
