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 23, 6:53 AM CDT, 3 hours 38 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 23, 6:53 AM CDT, 3 hours 38 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Sioux Falls SD
653 AM CDT Sat Apr 23 2022

.SHORT TERM...(Today through Sunday Afternoon)
Issued at 429 AM CDT Sat Apr 23 2022

Convection and strong synoptic winds again the primary challenges
for today, along with associated fire weather concerns which will be
addressed in more detail in that section of the discussion.

Much of this overnight so far has been fairly quiet across our
forecast area, as evening activity in our far west exited by 04Z,
and just some isolated weak activity impacting our extreme western
areas since. However, watching relatively weak line of storms that
is tracking ENE through south central SD at this time. Several CAMs
also hinted at a scattered line of development in eastern Nebraska
or western Iowa toward daybreak, which could build northward into
our far eastern counties prior to 14Z this morning. HRRR has been
maintaining this idea in subsequent runs, but the 06Z NAMNest run
has backed off, and given overall warming cloud tops across this
area over the past couple of hours, this may be the favored
solution, but will continue to monitor.

Evolution of additional convection through today is still far from
clearcut. Confidence is very high that we Will see increasing deep
layer shear through the day, largely speed shear as unidirectional
southerly flow increases through the mid-levels in advance of the
approaching trough, with several models indicating 0-6km shear
values hitting 60-70kt or higher. This will coincide with a narrow
ribbon of instability, perhaps as much as 1-2kJ/kg MLCAPE, though
mid-level lapse rates are on the weaker side and instability south
of Hwy 14 may be quickly reduced as dry line pushes east and cuts
off the near surface moisture. Cannot argue with SPC Marginal/Slight
outlooks for today, as if storms are able to develop and maintain
intensity without being sheared apart by the 80-100kt mid-level
flow, discrete cells could become supercellular. Primary threats
would be hail to half dollar size and damaging winds to 60-70 mph,
along with a non-zero tornado threat as well. Uncertainty is still
rather high on exactly where storms will form, as ongoing morning
storms may further impact location of boundaries by midday into the
afternoon, but window between noon and 6-7 pm looks like prime time
of concern before dry line pushes east of the forecast area.

Aside from the convective concerns, strong synoptic flow will result
in solid wind advisory level winds across the forecast area today,
beginning southerly, then shifting a bit more west of south with the
passage of the dryline, and finally more westerly as the cold front
pushes into our western counties through the day. Gradient slackens
a bit overnight into Sunday, but still seeing a good consensus for
gusts to 45 mph persisting across our western areas through tonight
and Sunday, so have extended the Wind Advisory along/west of the
James River Valley through 7pm Sunday evening.

As far as temperatures today, already starting off quite mild with
early morning readings in the mid 60s to lower 70s. Morning storms
and associated cloud cover may slow temperature climb through the
morning, but clearing behind the dry line should allow readings to
rebound into the 70s to near 80 ahead of the cold front. Meanwhile,
locations behind the cold front will likely see highs earlier in the
day, with temperatures falling into the 50s west of Hwy 81 through
the afternoon. The colder air will continue to push east tonight,
with lows tonight in the mid 30s-lower 40s, and Sunday's highs back
below normal in the mid 40s-lower 50s.

.LONG TERM...(Sunday Evening through Friday)
Issued at 429 AM CDT Sat Apr 23 2022

Chilly but dry conditions prevail through the first part of next
week, with a return to near normal temperatures by midweek as mid
to upper ridging builds into the northern Plains. The ridge breaks
down late next week as another trough drops into the northern
Plains. Should see at least scattered precipitation chances and
cooler temperatures return, though to what degree is unclear as
models show little agreement in the pattern evolution.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Sunday morning)
Issued at 654 AM CDT Sat Apr 23 2022

Very strong south to southwest winds expected across the forecast
area today, with gusts as high as 40-45kt at times. Flow turns
more westerly with passage of a cold front moving west to east
this afternoon. Winds remain quite strong behind the cold front,
with gusts still in the 30-40kt range.

Scattered convection across northwest Iowa/southwest Minnesota to
start this TAF period will push east of Hwy 71 corridor by 14Z.
Elsewhere, looking at mainly VFR conditions with potential for
isolated to scattered redevelopment during the late morning and
afternoon ahead of a cold front/dry line, mainly in areas north
and east of KFSD. This development is low confidence, and thus
have not included any mention of late day convection in any of the
TAF sites.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 429 AM CDT Sat Apr 23 2022

Critical fire weather conditions are expected today from southeast
South Dakota and northeast Nebraska (generally near/east of Hwy
81), into portions of southwest Minnesota and northwest Iowa.
Although the day will start off with dew points in the 50s/near
60, a dry line will push east across the area through the day.
Ahead of will see south winds gusting as high as 45-50 mph early
this morning. After the dry line passes, winds will shift a bit
more to the south-southwest, with gust potential increasing to
50-55 mph. The dry line will also bring sharply drier air into the
region, with dew points falling into the upper 30s to lower 40s,
as temperatures climb into the 70s. This will result in relative
humidity levels as low as 20-35 percent, lowest in the lower
Missouri River Valley toward Sioux City.

There is still some uncertainty how long the lowest humidity
levels will persist, as it will depend on timing of a trailing
cold front which will serve to increase relative humidity levels.
However, given the very strong winds and dry fuels, have erred on
the side of caution and expanded the coverage area of a Red Flag
Warning to include all areas where minimum humidity levels fall
below 35% for at least a couple of hours this afternoon. This
includes areas as far west/north as Tyndall to Arlington SD, and
as far east as Marshall to Worthington Minnesota, and south to
Cherokee and Ida Grove Iowa.
