AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Sioux Falls SD
1256 PM CDT Sat Jun 24 2023

.SHORT TERM...(Today and Tonight)
Issued at 326 AM CDT Sat Jun 24 2023

KEY MESSAGES:

1. The threat for thunderstorms will linger for today, with a few
strong to severe storms possible this afternoon.

2. Turning cooler tonight and Sunday with scattered showers and
storms possible.

3. Temperatures rebound next week with another chance of
thunderstorms for mid week.

An upper level shortwave over central SD will push into eastern SD
by early this morning, driving current convection eastward into
southwestern MN and eastern IA by 12Z - fueled by theta e advection
on a low level jet oriented through central/eastern NE. Although
current convection has produced severe wind gusts as it moved
through central SD during the very early morning hours, this will
become less likely after 10Z as the instability diminishes. Latest
hi-res models would indicate the MCS exiting our CWA around 13Z.

The question then becomes how morning convection affects the
potential for further thunderstorm development in the afternoon.
With the expectation that convection exits our area early in the
morning, there is the potential for recovery by afternoon, with
further thunderstorm development in a warm air advection regime.
Upper level support does increase by afternoon as the main upper
level ejects into the Dakotas and upper level divergence increases
in response to an upper level jet streaming through northern NE.
Although there will most likely be a lull in convection through the
early part of the day, some hi-res models are indicating
thunderstorm development in two areas by afternoon - one in our far
eastern IA and MN counties in the prefrontal trough with a low level
jet continuing to provide moisture transport (and resultant higher
instability), and a second area of development possible along the
main surface front back to the west. Even so, models are not in
complete agreement on these scenarios, being split on frontal
timing, and some developing the far eastern convection as mentioned
above outside of our CWA. In summary, uncertainty in afternoon
convection remains. Either way, with afternoon mid level lapse rates
of around 7 C/Km, CAPE values progged to be around 1500 J/KG, and
effective shear of 25 to 35 kts in an increasing midlevel flow,
there will be a possibility of a few strong to severe storms with
large hail and damaging winds. Highs today will mostly be lower to
mid 80s.

Any convection that develops with the surface front should exit the
CWA by late evening. The upper level low will continue to spin over
the Dakotas and MN tonight, keeping a threat for showers and
isolated thunderstorms through mainly the northern and eastern
portions of the CWA during the night. With cold air advection behind
the front and a tightening surface pressure gradient, northwesterly
winds will begin to increase during the night. It will be cooler
with lows in the upper 50s to lower 60s.

.LONG TERM...(Sunday through Friday)
Issued at 326 AM CDT Sat Jun 24 2023

For Sunday, the now closed mid/upper low pressure continues to move
east over WI and into the Upper Midwest. Sunday will be breezy as
surface pressure gradient remains tight over the area. Northwesterly
flow takes hold, with winds 20-25 mph and gusts to 35 or 40 mph.
Aloft, CAA helps keep our temps cooler, with highs for most in the
70s. As the low moves east, any lingering showers/storms would
follow suit.

Low pressure meanders east through early next week, with mid/upper
level ridging returning. Temperatures warm closer to normal, with
highs in the 80s and lows in the mid/upper 50s and 60s, as the ridge
moves east into the middle of the week. A mid level wave is progged
to move through late Monday into Tuesday, so can't rule out some
isolated showers/storms in the west.

Into the middle/latter part of the week, temperatures continue to
warm as more southerly flow takes hold and WAA pushes in ahead of
more mid level waves and a more defined mid/upper low passing to our
north into Thursday. Models continue to have struggles resolving the
timing and location of these features, so expect periodic, low
confidence shower and storm chances from mid to late week. Could see
some breezy periods as well.

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Sunday Afternoon)
Issued at 1248 PM CDT Sat Jun 24 2023

MVFR stratocumulus should lift to low VFR and thin out this
afternoon. Isolated to scattered strong to severe Tstorms are
expected to develop east of a Spencer to Sioux City line this
afternoon and track east out of the area by early evening.

Additional isolated showers and storms are possible across
eastern SD this evening, tracking into adjacent portions of MN and
IA overnight. Cannot rule out an isolated strong to severe Tstorm
with large hail and gusty erratic winds through the evening
hours.

Outside of precipitation, VFR conditions and westerly winds with
gusts up to 20 kts should prevail until a front moves in late this
evening. Expect winds to shift northwest behind the front with
gusts of 30 to 40 kts possible. MVFR stratus is likely to spread
in behind the front overnight, clearing out from west to east later
on Sunday.
