Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Aberdeen SD
1227 PM CDT Fri Mar 14 2025

.KEY MESSAGES...

- A storm system will move in this evening and impact the
  forecast area through Saturday. Rain will transition to a wintry
  mix and eventually all snow by early Saturday morning.

- Strong northerly winds (gusts of 40-55 knots) will move into
  the area this afternoon and persist through the day Saturday. A
  Wind Advisory is in effect for areas west of the James River
  Valley from Friday afternoon through Saturday morning.

- Strong winds and heavy snow (accumulations upwards of 6" in
  some places) will combine to reduce visibilities Saturday
  morning along and east of the James River Valley. A Winter Storm
  Watch for Blizzard Conditions is in effect for that area from
  early Saturday morning to Saturday afternoon.

- Another storm system will move east across the Central Plains
  Tuesday into Wednesday. Impacts may be mainly across southern SD
  and points south, although some light accumulations generally
  under 3 inches are possible over the area.

&&

.UPDATE...
Issued at 1012 AM CDT Fri Mar 14 2025

Continuing to hash out thoughts about headlines this morning. Same
confidence issues persist with placement of the low and associated
snow totals. A little more concerned with sustained winds than
wind gusts tonight; they may merit a warning with sustained
speeds around 40 mph. No major changes in overall trends regarding the
upcoming winter storm, just fine-tuning the details.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY AFTERNOON/...
Issued at 423 AM CDT Fri Mar 14 2025

The main focus in the near term continues to be the storm system
beginning this evening and continuing on through Saturday. As the
low pressure center moves up out of the southwest, precipitation
along the north side of the low will impact the northeastern South
Dakota and western Minnesota portions of the forecast area,
beginning as rain this evening. The current trend in hi-res model
guidance suggests that the heaviest rainfall will stay to the south
and east of the forecast area tonight. Between 0.5"-0.75" would
still fall as rain through Saturday morning for areas east of the
James Valley. There are a few model scenarios hanging onto a
solution in which the heavier rainfall totals do make it up into
northeastern South Dakota and western Minnesota, dumping an inch or
more of rain to the area. Probability for this scenario to play out
is between 10-30%, so it still represents a significant alternate
scenario for this event.

As the low pressure center progresses, strong northerly winds will
develop on the backside, impacting most of the forecast area through
the day Saturday. Sustained winds of 30-35 knots and gusts of 40-50
knots make this a higher end Wind Advisory, and consideration was
given to upgrading to a High Wind Warning. However, probabilities in
both the NBM and HREF ensembles for Wind Warning criteria remain
unconvincing (only showing small pockets of >50%), and even looking
at the NBM 90th percentile leaves much of the area just shy on
gusts. The potential is certainly there for an upgrade, and will
need to be re-evaluated during the day today.

Precipitation looks to change over from rain to winter precipitation
on Saturday morning, eventually ending up as snow for the duration
of the event. Hi-res model guidance displays some level of agreement
in the changeover to winter precipitation occurring somewhere around
10Z Saturday morning. However, strong low-level cold air advection
of 50-60 knots could help accelerate the cooldown by an hour or two
and push that transition earlier into the night. An inversion around
the 850mb level will also create a brief period of freezing rain or
potentially even sleet due to the warm nose melting hydrometeors to
liquid aloft. This warm nose will eventually push below freezing and
bring snow to the surface by Saturday morning.

Saturday morning will see the heaviest snow of the event, located
again over northeastern South Dakota and western Minnesota. A moist
profile with good vertical lift throughout will have the potential
to create high snowfall rates. There is still quite a bit of
uncertainty in the snowfall totals, with 25th-75th percentile
spreads over parts of the area reaching a difference of 5-6". This
large spread is in no small part due to a bit of a split in model
guidance, with a number of hi-res models resolve upwards of 6"
within the span of 6 hours (~40% chance between 12Z-18Z). The
majority of that snow would likely fall in the first few hours of
that timeframe (effectively the first few hours after the changeover
to snow) while the strongest omega is present throughout the deep
saturated layer. Only a few tenths of snow is forecasted to fall
after 18Z as the omega will decrease significantly and the lower
layer will eventually de-saturate behind the front. One additional
point of interest is that a small handful of models have begun to
push the band of heavy snow slightly east, but just enough to where
the highest totals may fall outside the Aberdeen forecast area,
instead moving further into Minnesota. While this is only
represented in a small percentage of the models, it is an additional
reason why the spread remains so high just 24 hours out.

The strong winds mentioned above will persist through the day
Saturday, leading to the potential for blizzard conditions Saturday
morning where snow is falling (or Saturday afternoon where snow has
accumulated). As a result, the Winter Storm Watch for Blizzard
Conditions for the James Valley and east remains in place from 06Z
Saturday through 00Z Sunday.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Issued at 423 AM CDT Fri Mar 14 2025

At the start of the extended period, the storm system will have
moved east of the area as a narrow surface ridge axis builds into
the region. Still some breezy northwest winds to contend with early
on Saturday evening, but as the ridge builds in, winds go rather
light by 12Z Sunday. Skies also look to be mostly clear for a good
portion of the night, so we're setting the stage for some chilly
lows in the teens. Depending on how much snow the eastern CWA
receives on Saturday, these numbers may need to be dropped and would
not be surprised if single digits are realized.

Models still show a weak surface low skirting eastward across the
Dakotas and into MN Sunday night into Monday, but any precip chances
from this remain north into ND/MN, with a dry forecast persisting
across the CWA at this time.

Main focus in the extended period is the next (stronger) storm
system that moves east across the Central Plains Tuesday into
Wednesday. Surface low looks to eject eastward into the Plains
Tuesday/Tuesday night, with differences noted in location/track.
GEFS camp of solutions remains the furthest north with the mean
MSLP, taking the low center across NE into IA. Meanwhile, the
GEPS/ENS remain in agreement with each other, and further south with
the mean MSLP low center from KS to MO. The resultant snow output
also reveals the northern GEFS outlier, while GEPS/ENS remain
further south across southern SD into NE with highest impacts.
Probability for 24-hr snowfall greater than 2 inches show the
highest values (40-70%) across southern/southeast SD into NE and IA
when looking at GEPS/ENS output. GEFS remains further north into our
CWA with these values.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SATURDAY/...
Issued at 1223 PM CDT Fri Mar 14 2025

Terminals KABR,KATY,KPIR,KMBG

A spring storm system will bring deteriorating conditions from
west to east through tonight as rain transitions to a wintry mix
and then to all snow. IFR vsby in blowing precipitation (rain or
snow) are expected at all sites at times. KATY is the most likely
location to see blizzard conditions develop Saturday morning. The
whole system exits to the east by the end of the taf period.
Northwest winds 25 to 35 kts with gusts up to 50 kts are possible
across the area through Saturday morning.
