AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Sioux Falls SD
220 PM CDT Thu May 12 2022

.SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Friday)
Issued at 219 PM CDT Thu May 12 2022

Dealing with another interesting and challenging severe weather
threat for this afternoon and evening. A strong upper level wave in
Wyoming was spreading cooler and drier air aloft into central NE
this afternoon with elevated convection develop in central NE which
was lifting fairly quickly northward. Still some question on
supercell vs. linear development and the last few runs of the HRRR
are leaning a little more towards a supercell/multicell set up vs
the earlier expectation of a strong bowing segment. Still not
completely buying into this but there will be a little concern if
the ACCAS/showers and thunderstorms moving north move through just
before peak heating which might limit the ability to get surface
based storms going and generate a more organized jet and cold pool.
Current WoFS output still suggesting that the storms that move into
areas near and west of the James Valley through 23z will have a good
chance at producing 50 knot or higher wind gusts. With the 0-3km
bulk shear vector running about 35-40 knots from 210 degrees will
need to watch any linear segment that move northeast for possible
QLCS spinups. The other thought is that with the wave and front a
touch slower than it appeared yesterday is that this initial more
cellular activity will wrap north fairly quickly mid to late
afternoon then after about 0-3z this evening a more linear system
will try to develop in north central and eastern NE and lift
northeast as the cooler and drier air aloft punch east with the
upper wave, bringing a bit higher threat for the strongest winds to
areas near and east of Interstate 29.

Deep west to southwest flow will develop tonight into Friday and
bring much drier air to the region and drop temperatures about 15 to
20 degrees. Expecting highs mostly in the lower to mid 70s on Friday
with wind gusts about 20 to 30 mph, likely closer to 40 mph north of
Interstate 90.

.LONG TERM...(Friday Night through Thursday)
Issued at 219 PM CDT Thu May 12 2022

Saturday through Monday low pressure will rotate across central
Canada which will keep a dry westerly flow across the Northern
Plains. This will bring mostly dry conditions with seasonally mild
temperatures as well as seasonally breezy conditions. Morning
lows likely to be from the lower 40s to lower 50s with afternoon
highs from about 65 to 75.

Troughiness over the western United States Tuesday into Thursday
will spread into the Northern Rockies by Thursday and bring a series
of waves into the Northern and Central Plains. Too far out to
determine timing and strength of any storms but for now does not
look like a great set up for heavier rain or severe weather. Overall
temperatures will remain seasonally mild.

.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Friday morning)
Issued at 646 AM CDT Thu May 12 2022

Isolated convection may linger near/north of Hwy 14 early in the
period, but otherwise expecting VFR conditions with increasing
southerly winds through mid afternoon. After 21Z-22Z, expecting
rapid development of thunderstorms into southeast SD, developing
into a line which moves quickly east into northwest Iowa and
southwest Minnesota this evening. Large hail and strong/damaging
winds will be possible with any thunderstorms during the late
afternoon and evening, along with at least brief MVFR-IFR
conditions. Storm timing is somewhat uncertain, but tried to
narrow down a 2-4 hour window of best chances in the TAFs.

After storms move through, a return to VFR conditions is expected.
