The storm which prompted the warning has weakened below severe
limits, and no longer poses an immediate threat to life or property.
Therefore, the warning will be allowed to expire.  However small hail
and heavy rain are still possible with this thunderstorm.

A Severe Thunderstorm Watch remains in effect until 1000 PM CDT for
southeastern South Dakota.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Sioux Falls SD
1242 PM CDT Mon Jul 10 2023

.SHORT TERM...(Today and Tonight)
Issued at 409 AM CDT Mon Jul 10 2023

Broad weak warm air advection with a southwest breeze has kept
temperatures in the 60s early this morning with a few typical cooler
spots dipping to the upper 50s. Abundant sunshine and efficient
mixing will kick temperatures into the 80s across the region by mid
day. Summer heat and more humid conditions make a comeback today
with highs expected to reach well into the 80s east of I-29 and the
90s near and west of the I-29 corridor. A southwest breeze will
provide a bit of relief from the heat, as well as unstable cumulus
developing this afternoon.

By early afternoon, a west-to-east oriented prefrontal sfc trough
develops near the Hwy 14 corridor with mid 60s to near 70s dew
points pooling south of the I-90 corridor as the trough sags south.
Moderate instability of 1500-2000 J/kg couples with increasing 0-6km
effective shear (30-40 kts) to set the stage for severe weather
threat late this afternoon through early evening. By mid afternoon,
much of the region should reach convective temperatures with capping
disintegrating. The Euro/NAM show potential for isolated strong to
severe storms to develop near or east of the James River Valley in
southeast South Dakota or even potentially parts of southwest
Minnesota mid afternoon, aided by ascent from a weak mid level wave
and upper jet nosing in from the northwest. Increased pops in this
area to account for latest Euro/NAM/HRRR solutions that support
this, given these are the models performing better with current
(higher) dew points in the upper 50s to lower 60s.

Late in the afternoon, attention turns more to south of I-90 and
especially near the Nebraska/South Dakota/Iowa tri-state area and
U.S. Hwy 20 area where the threat for isolated to scattered
supercells is highest (i.e., via strongest destabilization and
deep layer shear). Inverted V soundings and DCAPE of 1400-2000
J/kg suggest potential for damaging wind gusts up to 70 mph, and
storm mode coupled with mid level lapse rates of 6.5-7.5 C/km
supports up to golf ball sized hail (or perhaps even larger, via
analog soundings). There is also a low threat for a tornado or two
if sfc winds can locally alter to more of a southeast (instead of
southwest) direction. Threats are similar both north and south of
the I-90 corridor, but HREF updraft helicity tracks signal the
greater coverage (scattered vs very isolated) and severity of the
threat will be south of I-90. Storms will track mainly
southeasterly, likely exiting southward by 8 to 10 PM.
Precipitable water values exceeding one inch favor pockets of
heavy downpours with stronger storms as well.

Behind this activity, a trailing cold front brings in drier low
level air and shifts winds northward overnight. Expect temperatures
to fall into the 50s (north under clearer skies) to lower 60s (south
where clouds and higher moisture content linger) overnight.

.LONG TERM...(Tuesday through Sunday)
Issued at 409 AM CDT Mon Jul 10 2023

TUESDAY: Monday's front sags to somewhere in the vicinity from the
Hwy 20 corridor to the I-80 corridor by Tuesday morning, bringing a
cool start to the day. Below normal temperatures persist Tuesday
behind the front with drier, light northeast winds. May see
scattered high based showers during the day

The now quasi-stationary front (to our south) will extend back
northwest through the High Plains, ahead of another strong wave
ejecting from the Rockies late Tuesday. This becomes the focus for
convection in the High Plains Tuesday afternoon and evening, which
will gradually track southeast along the instability gradient
through the evening.

While isolated elevated convective development remains possible
Tuesday afternoon west of I-29, the better rain chance develops
Tuesday night. 00z models are still split into two camps: 1) the
nocturnal low level jet aids MCS development in the High Plains,
likely tracking an MCS with severe threat to our south with heavy
rain threat the greatest south of the I-90 corridor and 2)
convection develops in eastern SD Tuesday mid to late evening and
merges into an MCS, bringing severe wx (hail and wind) threat and
heavy rain threat Tuesday night across the forecast area. While
ensemble guidance would continue to favor the first solution, cannot
entirely discount the 2nd/worse case scenario just yet. Ensemble
guidance continues to support a 60-80% chance of a widespread 0.25
inches of rain with deterministic guidance favoring pockets of
downpours producing 2+ inches of rain. The heaviest rain is still
favored to occur south of the I-90 corridor (again favoring the
first, more likely solution), but the location could range from near
the Sioux City metro to near the Omaha metro.

WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY: Confidence decreases in the forecast late
week with periods of low chances for showers and storms as weak
waves track through in northwest flow aloft. Wednesday should start
off mainly dry and cool again, but another mid level wave trailing
through the Northern Plains poses a low chance for another round of
isolated storms to develop with nonzero severe weather potential.
This similar pattern continues through at least Friday with low
evening/night storm chances depending on where weak disturbances
track in northwest flow aloft.

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Tuesday Afternoon)
Issued at 1242 PM CDT Mon Jul 10 2023

VFR conditions expected at KHON/KFSD over the next 24 hours with
the primary impact to aviation operations being a wind shift from
the west-southwest to the north-northeast with some gusts up to 20
kts as a cold front drops south across the region. A few -TSRA
could develop along the front, but coverage is expected to be very
limited, so will not include any mention at this time. Toward the
end of the period, there could be some decaying showers and
thunderstorms from overnight convection across western SD, but
timing/coverage uncertainty precludes mention in the 10.18Z TAF.

For KSUX, better chances for -TSRA exist from late this afternoon
into the early evening along a pre-frontal surface boundary.
Introduced a TEMPO group for this possibility from 10.22Z-11.02Z,
but coverage may still be more scattered in nature and updates are
likely. MVFR/IFR conditions possible if a thunderstorm moves over
the airfield. In addition, any thunderstorm has the potential to
produce damaging wind gusts and/or hail. For now, will not include
higher end potential impacts in TAF. Away from thunderstorms, VFR
conditions will also be the rule at KSUX with surface winds
shifting to the north-northeast late this evening with eventual
passage of the cold front.
