AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Sioux Falls SD
625 PM CDT Thu Apr 28 2022

.SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Friday Night)
Issued at 421 PM CDT Thu Apr 28 2022

Early afternoon satellite imagery shows low/mid level stratus moving
from southeast to northwest, with upper level cirrus streaming
overhead from west to east. Radar is showing scattered showers and
thunderstorms, with most activity occurring north of the I-90
corridor. Have gotten a report of half-dollar sized hail near
Windom, likely due to the low freezing levels, which has now
prompted a severe thunderstorm warning for Jackson County, MN.
Models only show a couple hundred Joules of CAPE available, though
lapse are fairly decent, with the effective shear layer roughly 35
to 40 knots giving the storm enough shear to keep itself organized.
Though this is occurring well north of the warm front, this activity
could remain on going or even back-build a touch given the weak flow
at the mid-levels, but will eventually peel off to our northeast.

Very subtle shortwave under southwesterly flow in the mid-level
could potentially lead to more showers and thunderstorms later this
afternoon into the evening hours, though due to the weak forcing
confidence is not high in this occurring. As a digging trough moves
over the Rockies from the west coast, more favorable conditions
begin to set up across the region. By Friday morning, lee
cyclogenesis will spawn a Colorado low on the eastern slopes, which
will be moving across the central plains throughout the day. Aloft,
frontogenesis ahead of the mid-level low will likely lead to one or
two round or showers and thunderstorms for areas west of I-29
throughout the morning hours. With roughly 500 J/KG of CAPE and deep
layer shear values around 25 knots available, these morning storms
are not expected to be severe, but will instead be the first round
of much-needed rainfall across central South Dakota.

By the afternoon hours, will likely see a lull across eastern
portions of the region (east of I-29) before another round of non-
severe showers and thunderstorms will be likely moving from
southwest to northeast. The thunderstorms to watch for will be the
ones forming across central Nebraska during the late afternoon hours
near the deepening surface low or along the occluded front, as 1000-
2000 J/KG of CAPE will be available along with steep mid-level lapse
rates around 7-8 deg C/km. Though not great, deep layer shear of 30
knots should be enough to allow the storms to remain at least
somewhat organized before growing upscale into bowing line segments
as they move towards the area. Large hail and strong winds remain
the main threats, with the threat trending towards hail as the
boundary layer stabilizes and the storms become elevated.

Due to the close proximity to the surface low, stronger winds return
to the region throughout the afternoon hours, with gusts likely up
to 35 mph. As for temperatures, despite the cloud coverage, surface
warm air advection will keep our afternoon highs in the upper 50s to
lower 60s. Expect scattered showers and thunderstorms to continue
into the overnight hours as the main upper level wave starts to
traverse the region and the surface low lifts up towards the
region.

.LONG TERM...(Saturday through Thursday)
Issued at 421 PM CDT Thu Apr 28 2022

After sunrise on Saturday, majority of the ensemble consensus keeps
the center of the low pressure in the near vicinity of the SD/NE/IA
border. As has been the trend, the EC and NAM continue to favor the
slightly further north trend with the center of the low, while the
GFS and RAP keep it slightly further south. Given the model
consensus of climatologically high PWAT's across the region,
moderate to periods of heavier rainfall remain expected. While all
the solutions point towards the periods of showers and thunderstorms
continuing throughout the day as the surface low tracks eastwards,
the location of the deformation band(s) on the backside of the low
will determine where the heaviest rainfall will fall across the
region. The north to south oriented band will be occurring across
central South Dakota, looking most likely along our western fringes
from Winner to east of Pierre. However, a westwards shift, or even a
second deformation band west of the initial one towards I-29, is not
out of the question. Throughout the afternoon hours, the initial
deformation band in the TROWAL region should decrease, with a newer
deformation band forming along the mid-level frontogenesis
continuing to focus the moderate/heavier rainfall towards the I-29
corridor and into SW MN. All of this to say, rainfall amounts over
an inch are likely across the region, possibly in excess of 2 inches
for areas west of the James, with potential for these higher amounts
spreading eastwards towards the I-29 corridor.

Also of note, strong winds are expected to develop on the western
fringes of the surface low as it strengthens throughout the day on
Saturday. Strongest winds are anticipated for areas west of I-29,
where sustained winds over 30 mph are likely and gusts up to 55 mph
will be possible. There is potential for areas in/near Gregory
county to see wind gusts in excess of 60 mph given strong mid level
flow, which has prompted high wind watches to our south and west,
but with Gregory county on the eastern fringes of where this looks
possible have forgone the high wind watch at this time.

The upper level trough begins to lift by Saturday evening, causing
the surface low to weaken as it moves east-northeastwards into MN
and WI. Cooler air isn't brought into the region until late Sunday,
so afternoon highs will still likely be in the upper 40s and lower
50s. The coldest air arrives Sunday evening, and will lead to
overnight lows into the lower to mid 30s.

Upper level flow remains active into next week, with another weak
trough moving towards the region spawning another Colorado low on
Monday morning. Rain chances look to reach the SD/NE/IA border by
Monday afternoon/evening, though the best instability will likely
remain well off to our south, keeping severe weather at bay. Model
consensus begins to drift after that, though the upper level flow
looks to remain active.

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Friday evening)
Issued at 621 PM CDT Thu Apr 28 2022

Two areas of convection in the area this evening. One over SW
Minnesota being forced by low-lvl convergence will slowly slide
northeast this evening. A second area driven mostly by heating of
the day will gradually diminish or form a cool pool and drop
southeast.

The biggest concerns into Friday morning will be redevelopment of
MVFR to IFR stratus. A bit concerned about models again
overestimating the development of stratus. For now, will raise
ceilings from what model consensus indicates.

Convection will move in from central SD around mid-day, gradually
reaching the I-29 corridor by mid-late afternoon. Visibility
restrictions are likely in convection.
