Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Aberdeen SD
732 PM CDT Sat Jun 28 2025

.KEY MESSAGES...

- SLIGHT RISK (2 of 5) again for today and tonight. Wind and hail
  are the primary threats, though can't rule out a brief tornado
  in far eastern SD/western MN.

- Two rounds of storms are expected in the slight risk. The first
  will develop late this afternoon in eastern SD/west central MN.
  The second will move in from the west late this evening and
  progress east through Sunday morning.

See below for an aviation forecast discussion for the 00Z TAFs.

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 330 PM CDT Sat Jun 28 2025

A front is draped southwest to northeast across the forecast area
this afternoon, stretching from south central SD to around Sisseton.
Areas along and east of this forcing mechanism will be in the
cross-hairs for severe storms this evening. Hi-res CAMS are
pointing to a start time of 22z around the Sisseton hills. 35 kts
of bulk shear and 3000 to 4500 J/kg MUCAPE with no significant cap
(+10- +12C) provide a decent set up for discrete cells with hail
and wind. Low level helicity increases toward 1z across east
central SD and west central MN with an STP of 1 to 2 on the RAP13,
so can't rule out a tornado or two either as bulk shear increases
to 45 kts.

Another round of thunderstorms moves in from the west and southwest
around 5z. This looks to be mostly post frontal with an agitated
shortwave trough. With 40 to 50 kts of bulk shear and 2000 to 3000
J/kg of CAPE in central SD at the time convection, the potential for
strong to severe hail and wind gusts exists through the night.

The other concern will be the potential for flooding across the east
and Jones/Lyman county where antecedent conditions have left wet
soils and creeks near bankfull.

The shortwave trough exits Sunday morning with weak sfc high
pressure building in behind it. However, another shortwave trough
moves through Sunday night with an upper trough/backdoor cold front
that could set off some showers through Monday morning.

South Dakota.

.DAY ONE...Today and tonight.

There is a slight risk (level 2 of 5) for severe storms east of a
line from Pierre to Aberdeen with storms expected to develop along a
stalled boundary in central and eastern South Dakota later this
afternoon. Storms come with the risk for large hail and damaging
winds. We cannot rule out a tornado or two in far eastern South
Dakota and western Minnesota.

Another round of storms will move into central South Dakota from the
west during the early morning hours Sunday. The risk for widespread
severe weather with this cluster of storms is low.

No hazardous weather is expected at this time.
