Area Forecast Discussion For Western SD and Northeastern WY
National Weather Service Rapid City SD
1012 AM MST Tue Nov 16 2021
.UPDATE...
Issued at 1004 AM MST Tue Nov 16 2021
Cold front moving across forecast area this morning, just north of
Rapid City at 10 AM. Temperatures are beginning to fall over
northwestern SD and northeastern WY. Very dry air is following
front, with dewpoints into the teens.
&&
.DISCUSSION...(Today Through Monday)
Issued at 152 AM MST Tue Nov 16 2021
Progressive/active NW flow will continue over the region
supporting a windy pattern through much of the period. Rapidly
deepening sfc low continues to push east across southern MB this
morning. Ongoing pressure falls and standing mountain wave
processes has allowed for downslope winds to ensue in the eastern
and northern BH foothills with gusts to around 50 mph expected
through mid morning there. Aforementioned sfc low will shift east
and support a strong cold front into the area later this morning,
with strong NW winds developing in NW SD, with warning level winds
expected through Wed there. However, fcst models have backed off
on the southward extent of warning level wind speeds over west
central and SW SD today as the strongest flow aloft will not time
with peak CAA and pressure rises outside of NW SD. Still expecting
breezy winds today, but not warning levels along and south of
I90. Decided to push off high wind warning on the plains east of
the BH until Wed, opting for a wind adv there instead. Extended
current foothills wind adv through today and added Haakon county.
Extremely dry ll profiles with the main lobe of forcing north of
the area will preclude precip with this system, hence no pops are
in the forecast the next 2 days. Sfc low will shift east overnight
with increasing flow aloft. This will support continued windy
conds Wed with warning level winds continuing across NW and west
central SD. Buffr and BL wind progs indicate the strongest winds
will occur Wed, with high end adv to warning level winds expected
over much of the SD plains. Much colder conds on track for Wed
with many places not making it out of the 30s. Winds will decrease
Wed night, with cold overnight lows in the teens and 20s. Highly
progressive flow will then support temp moderation after Wed with
50s and maybe a few 60s in the lee of the BH returning by Friday.
Another clipper type system looks likely this weekend per
continued model trends. However, the timing, strength, track, and
resultant CAA continues to vary between models and runs. One thing
that does look certain is little to no precip is expected outside
perhaps NE WY and the northern BH into early next week.

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS Through 18Z Wednesday)
Issued At 1009 AM MST Tue Nov 16 2021
VFR conditions are expected through the period. Gusty west to
southwest winds up to 40 kts will persist across much of northeast
WY into parts of the Black Hills early this afternoon, as a cold
front pushes through (as of 1710Z this morning, the cold front is
a few miles north of KRAP). Gusty NW winds will develop behind the
front across western and south-central SD this afternoon and
evening. The strongest winds will be over northwest SD late this
morning into the early evening, with gusts to over 50 kts
expected. Elsewhere, winds will gust 30 to 45 kts behind the front
later today. Winds will decrease some tonight, but it will remain
breezy to windy across much of the area.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued At 152 AM MST Tue Nov 16 2021
A strong cold front will move through the region today. Winds
will shift NW and increase late this morning, with widespread
gusts over 40 mph expected, strongest on the NW SD plains where
gusts over 60 mph are expected. Very dry airmass behind the front
will allow rh’s to drop in the 15-25% range on most of the SD
plains and will support critical fire weather conditions when
combined with the strong winds and dry fuels,
