Area forecast discussion, Jul 5, 8:58 AM MDT, 44 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Aberdeen SD 958 AM CDT Tue Jul 5 2022 .UPDATE... Issued at 947 AM CDT Tue Jul 5 2022 A line of strong to severe thunderstorms,associated with an MCS, from Corson through Dewey counties are continuing to push east this morning. These have a history of producing strong wind gusts, hail, and brief heavy downpours. These storms are pushing east and will move into north and central SD through the morning and afternoon. The main question is if these storms will be able to hold their severe potental as they move further east. We have a very moist low levels, steep lapse rates, and lots of instability to work with but there is still a cap across parts of eastern SD. That should be breaking later on this afternoon as more showers and thunderstorms are expected through the area as well as a continuing severe weather threat. && .SHORT TERM...(Today through Wednesday Afternoon) Issued at 251 AM CDT Tue Jul 5 2022 A mess of weak forcing mechanisms will lead to another couple days of continued chances for showers and thunderstorms. Low pressure sits over the WY/NE border today with a warm front draped near the SD/NE border. North of that sfc boundary, it becomes more difficult to pinpoint any particular area for thunderstorms to develop. There will be a wealth of shortwave energy around, but each model is just a bit different with timing and placement. Weak low pressure tracks west to east through ND and south central SD late tonight. These are all potential areas of development. Given all of the boundaries, bulk shear will be ample today at 40 to 55kts. There is some capping given the warm air aloft under the upper ridge, but the NAM has that breaking this afternoon, especially in the north. While CAPE will still be abundant on Wednesday, shear will diminish...though 30 kts in the afternoon may still be enough to support an isolated severe storm. For initialization, three CAMS still roll through some thunderstorms across the north this morning. The HRRR has backed off on storms until this evening. In other words, confidence is low in timing and placement. Warm and humid conditions will persist through Wednesday. Will need to watch storm movement, if and when they do develop, as any additional heavy rain could prove problematic given antecedent conditions. .LONG TERM...(Wednesday Evening through Monday) Issued at 251 AM CDT Tue Jul 5 2022 For the long term period, the upper level ridge pattern continues. However, around Friday the amplitude starts to decrease and by Saturday, the axis has flattened quite a bit. On Sunday, the ridge intensifies again. Sunday overnight the ridge starts to move out of the area. The EC and GFS show a short lived trough making its way across the region during the day Monday into Monday night. Moisture in the mid levels continues to come and go throughout the period. At the low levels, continuous abundant moisture continues through Friday night, after this, moisture levels rise and fall diurnally through the end of the period. Temperatures look to be around normal but with moisture levels, it will feel warmer. The next chance of showers and storms is early Thursday morning. These storms are not expected to be severe at this time. Chances for evening and overnight showers and storms continue through the end of the period. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Wednesday Morning) Issued at 629 AM CDT Tue Jul 5 2022 Terminals KABR,KATY,KPIR,KMBG Generally, VFR conditions are expected to prevail through this evening. However, some vsby reductions are possible in heavier thunderstorms. Thunderstorms will move near KMBG this morning with KABR and KPIR possibly seeing storms this afternoon. However, confidence is low in exact timing and placement of storms later today. Patchy fog and/or stratus is possible Wednesday morning. && .ABR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... SD...None. MN...None. && UPDATE...MMM SHORT TERM...Wise LONG TERM...KK AVIATION...Wise
