.SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Friday Night)
Issued at 152 PM CDT Thu May 12 2022

Main focus is on the convective potential this afternoon and first
half of the evening.

A 999mb surface low is currently located over south central SD
(western Lyman County) and a warm front stretches northeast into
central Hyde/Hand counties and then eastward along a old outflow
boundary from morning convection eastward across northern Beadle
County and to just south of Brookings. North of the warm front,
skies are mostly cloudy and temperatures are in the mid 60s, but
south of the warm front, temperatures are in the lower 80s with
dewpoints in the upper 60s and lower 70s. As the upper trough in WY
and shortwave in sw NE lift to the northeast this afternoon, expect
both the low and warm front to move north. While things are pretty
stable north of the warm front and old outflow boundary, already
seeing a CU filed stretching from Hyde/Hand counties and south
towards Chamberlain. That area almost seems to be showing a greater
area of convergence and potential hints of reduced CIN on the latest
SPC MesoA data. So may need to watch that area a little more closely
over the next couple hours. Otherwise, expect things to develop
around the Lyman county area around 21Z, close to the surface low
and in the area of clear skies, which is supported pretty well in
the CAM and WoFS output. With ample instability (MLCAPE of 3-3.5k
J/kg at 18Z) and effective shear of 50kts, expect them to quickly
become severe with significant hail (steep mid level LRs and SHIP
values already rising into the 3-4 range), damaging winds and
potentially a few tornadoes. Will need to closely monitor the low
level fields for tornado potential in this initial storms, as latest
trends do show some favorable low level curvature in the hodographs,
especially the closer you get to the warm front. So as any discrete
storms that initial develop push north fairly quickly towards the
front, there will be an increased tornado threat. Right now, that
threat is initially greatest from northern Lyman north to US 83 and
eastward to US 281. With additional development possible eastward
along the warm front, could see the northern storms evolve into more
of a cluster of storms and increasing the wind threat and still a
threat for tornadoes into northeastern SD.  Farther south, expect
additional storms to develop southward along the cold front into
Nebraska. The expectation is for these storms to become linear with
time and move northeastward across southeastern SD. That QLCS will
likely push into the southeastern part of our CWA during the late
afternoon and early evening. Damaging winds, potentially
significant, will be the main threat, but with 0-3km bulk shear
values of 35-40kts to the northeast, will need to monitor for
potential QLCS mesovortexes too. Finally, there remains some concern
for flooding, but with the overall faster movement of the storms,
think the threats will be limited to areas that have already
received ample rain over the last couple of weeks.

With the tight pressure gradient behind the intensifying low (down
to around 990mb by 12Z as it reaches ND/Sask/Manitoba border area),
we'll see some potentially gusty west-southwest winds across much of
the area tonight. Some uncertainty on how deep we'll mix with the
bulk of the strong winds aloft occurring during the overnight hours
(900mb winds to 40kts and 850mb winds to 50-55kts) and limited low
level cold air advection to help steepen the low level lapse rates.
The best opportunity for mixing into the stronger winds aloft
appears to be over north central SD, which has shown some
consistency over the last few model runs. This is tied to a pocket
of colder 925-850mb temperatures helping to increase low level lapse
rates in that area. With the expectations of seeing at least some
advisory level gusts, will issue a wind advisory for parts of north
central SD for tonight into Friday morning. The pressure gradient
will diminish during the late morning into the afternoon on Friday,
as we see the low weaken and lift northeast, and a weak high
pressure ridge from a high in srn MN and IA moves over the eastern
area.

Tomorrow afternoon, wrap around moisture from the surface low in
Canada and a weak shortwave, may lead to some diurnally aided
showers and maybe a few rumbles of thunder tomorrow afternoon.
Instability is pretty limited (a couple hundred J/kg of MUCAPE)
though, so think thunder potential is low overall. Largely kept the
slight chance for showers over central SD, but could see them sneak
a little farther east in the evening before dissipating.

.LONG TERM...(Saturday through Thursday)
Issued at 152 PM CDT Thu May 12 2022

Upper ridge pattern is dominant this period. Weather is expected to
be relatively quiet this weekend. Starting Tuesday, a shortwave
trough will pass through with some precip possible Tuesday night
into Wednesday. Thursday's upper level pattern is more uncertain
with a ridge or a trough possible based on clusters. On to the
specifics!

Saturday upper level pattern looks to transition from a ridge to
more zonal flow as the low over Canada moves across to the north.
Shortwave energy reaches down into the area from this low, since the
region remains relatively dry this energy will most likely go
unused. Clusters for Sunday show the upper level trough and
associated low over Canada moving to the east. An upper level ridge
is moving into the region. Monday the general trend for the clusters
has been an upper level ridge still moving east towards the area.

Tuesday starts to get a little more active. The overall upper level
pattern will be a ridge but pockets of energy move into the area as
an embedded shortwave trough with a surface low make their way
across the region. As this shortwave moves through, moisture
increases. Abundant WAA in the region as a result of southerly mid
level winds will increase the probability of precipitation Tuesday
night into Wednesday. The best WAA in lower levels looks to be
around 06Z Wednesday just ahead of that surface low which passes to
the south. Totals most likely less than 0.1 inches.

For Thursday, uncertain on upper level pattern, could be an upper
level ridge, an upper level trough, or more zonal flow. GFS and
Canadian look to be leaning towards an upper trough.

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Friday Afternoon)
Issued at 1236 PM CDT Thu May 12 2022

Terminals KABR,KATY,KPIR,KMBG

A low pressure system is sitting over south central SD, with a
warm front stretching to the east across east central SD. North
and west of the low and warm front, seeing plenty of low stratus
and expect that to continue for at least a few hours at all of the
TAF sites. As the warm front lifts north, should see some rising
ceilings during the afternoon. Thunderstorms are expected to
develop this afternoon near the Pierre area, then rapidly lift to
the northeast. The storms will depart the area during the early-
mid evening period. Behind the storms, gusty west-southwest winds
are expected for parts of the area, which will continue into
Friday.
