What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this wind advisory went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Sioux Falls, SD wrote its last area forecast discussion before this wind advisory went out at Apr 12, 10:36 PM CDT, 6 hours 17 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 12, 10:36 PM CDT, 6 hours 17 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Sioux Falls SD
1036 PM CDT Tue Apr 12 2022

.SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Thursday Afternoon)
Issued at 328 PM CDT Tue Apr 12 2022

From about 13/06Z onward, focus for this forecast will be on
strong west-northwest flow through at least Thursday, as well as
anomalously cold conditions which will persist for much of the
forecast period into early next week.

While the leading cold front will race eastward tonight, a new
surface low is projected to develop in the Red River Valley of the
North on Wednesday, before moving very slowly east-northeast into
southern Ontario with a nearly stacked upper low through Thursday.
Another round of strong winds will prevail on the backside of this
system. Seeing good model consensus on a somewhat weaker pressure
gradient across our area through the day Wednesday, as the surface
low intensifies well to our north, but a surface ridge extends from
the northern Rockies into the central/southern Plains. Could see
winds/wind gusts approach advisory criteria across our west, nearer
the tighter gradient, but for the most part looks like just your
standard northern Plains windy day.

By Wednesday night/Thursday, although the surface low is slowly
pulling away, the pressure gradient across our area appears to
tighten in response to the surface low deepening further, at least
through early Thursday afternoon when the surface ridge axis to our
southwest begins to build into the mid-Missouri Valley. 925-850mb
winds increase from general 30-40 kt on Wednesday, to 40-50kt
Wednesday night into Thursday, all nearly unidirectional around the
stacked system, which should favor strong mixing. At this point,
does not look to reach high wind warning criteria in our forecast
area, but a stronger potential for advisory level winds Wednesday
night/Thursday.

As far as temperatures, sub-zero 925mb temperatures are prevalent
throughout the forecast area from daybreak Wednesday through midday
Thursday, briefly mixing a few degrees above freezing over southern
portions of the area during the afternoon/early evening. Meanwhile,
850mb temperatures fall to several degrees below 0C, with ensembles
showing these values to be in the lowest 5% of climatology for mid
April. Doesn't look like we will be in record cold max territory for
temperatures, but expect highs to range from mid 30s-near 40 north,
to mid-upper 40s south both days.

.LONG TERM...(Thursday Evening through Tuesday)
Issued at 328 PM CDT Tue Apr 12 2022

Despite a period of ridging aloft which moves across the northern
Plains on Saturday, temperatures remain abnormally cold, perhaps
briefing warming more substantially on Sunday, but this will be
largely dependent on timing/track of a trailing trough which will
swing through the northern Plains during the latter half of the
weekend.

Aside from this potential brief warming on Sunday, GEFS/EC ensembles
continue to show 850mb temperatures near/below the 10th percentile
of climatology. As such, high temperatures remain 15-20 degrees
below normal into early next week, with highs only in the upper 30s
and 40s most days.

This upper trough and its associated warm advection will bring a
chance of light precipitation to the region during the latter half
of the weekend, with precip type (most likely rain or snow) again
dependent on timing and low-level temperatures. Aside from this, it
looks like dry conditions will prevail through the mid-long range
portion of the forecast.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Wednesday night)
Issued at 1036 PM CDT Tue Apr 12 2022

A couple scattered showers will remain possible into the overnight
period, though confidence is not high enough in time/location to
include at any TAF sites but they should have few if any impacts.
MVFR/IFR cigs will be lifting from south to north throughout the
overnight period, with some likely stick around for areas north of
the I-90 corridor.

Breezy westerly winds will likely continue into the early overnight
hours before decreasing until sunrise. Another round of stronger
westerly winds will move into the region with gusts 35 to 55 mph,
with the strongest winds anticipated west of the I-29 corridor.
