Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Sioux Falls SD
229 PM CDT Mon Jun 16 2025

.KEY MESSAGES...

- Scattered strong to severe storms possibly develop ahead of a
  cool front by mid-late Monday afternoon. Primary risk time is
  3pm to 8pm.

- Hazards include hail up to 2" in diameter, 70 mph wind gusts.
  A very localized, but low tornado risk is possible, focused
  mostly in SW Minnesota.

- Unsettled weather conditions continue into Wednesday, but
  overall severe weather risks remain low. Isolated storms may
  produce marginal hail and brief wind gusts overnight, and
  potentially Tuesday afternoon. Heavy rain is possible in any
  storm.

- Potential heat wave develops by late this week through the
  upcoming weekend. Heat risk categories rise into the "High"
  category this weekend. All outdoor events and activities
  should begin preparing now.

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 227 PM CDT Mon Jun 16 2025

THIS AFTERNOON:  2pm analysis indicates a cold front continue to
push eastward through eastern South Dakota, stretching from east of
Watertown towards Gregory. A cluster of elevated thunderstorms
rooted at the 800 mb level continues to briefly intensify towards
severe levels.  WV imagery would suggest the presence of a weak wave
driving this convection slowly eastward. MUCAPE AOA 1800 J/KG with
effective shear AOA 30 knots will keep this activity near severe
levels.

Attention however turns to the pre-frontal airmass within a deeper
and more unstable warm sector.  Short term CAMS remain split on just
how much development will take place later this afternoon (though
none pick up on current activity).  Convective risks begin to grow
quickly by 3-4 PM as inhibition ahead of the front weakens. However,
surface convergence remains somewhat weak on the front itself, which
which without better synoptic forcing aloft, could limit overall
coverage of storms moving into SW Minnesota, NW Iowa, SE South
Dakota and NE Nebraska. MLCAPE profiles between 2000-2500 J/KG
combined with increasing mid-lvl winds increasing effective
shear towards 40-50 knots should be sufficient for stronger
storm clusters with potential organization. Sizable hail CAPE
and mid-lvl lapse rates between 7-8 C/KM, and potential mid-lvl
rotation would support hail up to 2". DCAPE approaching 1500
J/KG and steep low-lvl lapse rates (especially over southern MN
and NW Iowa) would promote 70 mph winds. The tornadic threat
remains on the low side, but some preference towards discrete
cells in SW Minnesota. The biggest question mark is how much
storm coverage we'll have into this evening.

TONIGHT:  The front flops southeast in the evening, with convection
risks becoming more focused over northern Nebraska and NW Iowa
through 10pm.  Severe weather risks likely peak by 8pm and then
lesson further through late evening.   Attention then turns to the
western Dakotas guidance continues to mightily struggle with
the potential MCS development overnight. Feel fairly confidence
that southerly returning LLJ will push convection northward and
into the MO River valley after midnight, perhaps in an isolated
to scattered basis. Some of this activity could continue a
marginal hail risk with outflow or potential wake low winds near
50-60 mph. Then we'll watch the track of MCS activity over
Nebraska and southern South Dakota. The placement of the low-lvl
boundaries and instability would place greatest track potential
through Nebraska.

TUESDAY: Areas south of I-90 may be clipped by the stratiform region
of a progressive MCS through Tuesday morning.  While the severe
weather risks are low, locally heavy rainfall and some gusty winds
may be possible.  We'll remain cooler on Tuesday, with afternoon
showers and isolated thunderstorms continuing through the afternoon.

WEDNESDAY: An upper trough continues to pivot through the Central
and Northern Plains Wednesday, keeping the area cool with occasional
showers during the day Wednesday.  Favored areas for rain will be
along and south of I-90, but QPF will be fairly light.

THURSDAY-SUNDAY: Confidence continues to grow in the
development of a mid-June heat wave through the Plains as we end
the work week and move through next weekend. LREF probabilities
of 90 degree temperatures are greater than 70% in most
locations by the weekend as sharp mid-lvl ridging develops. NWS
heat index maps will begin to push the high category Friday,
Saturday, and Sunday all suggesting that impacts from this heat
may begin to impact more than just vulnerable populations.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z TUESDAY/...
Issued at 1201 PM CDT Mon Jun 16 2025

VFR conditions continue as we focus on convection risks into the
evening and overnight hours. Aloft, mid-lvl ACCAS cloud field
will continue to slide east of I-29 this afternoon tied with a
mid-lvl wave. A cold front will begin move into I-29 area later
this afternoon and may eventually serve as a focal point for
scattered convection in SW Minnesota into NW Iowa and NE
Nebraska. Brief MVFR visibility reductions are possible in
convection along with strong wind gusts over 40 knots.

Further west and northwest, VFR conditions are expected
overnight.

Uncertain thunderstorm risks continue overnight, with split
solutions pushing most of the convection south of the ND/SD
border through daybreak.

506 AM CDT Mon Jun 16 2025

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for northwest Iowa, west central
Iowa, southwest Minnesota, northeast Nebraska and southeast South
Dakota.

.DAY ONE...Today and tonight.

Thunderstorms are expected to develop along a cold front after
3 to 4 pm this afternoon, then continue into this evening. Some
severe storms are possible. The primary threat with initial storms
will be hail up to 2 inch diameter, though isolated larger hail and
perhaps a tornado are possible. As storms evolve into line segments,
the primary threat will transition to damaging wind gusts up to 70
mph with isolated embedded tornadoes. Storms may also produce brief
heavy rainfall, which could cause ponding water, especially in low
lying areas or urban settings.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday.

While confidence is lower, if storms track across areas south of
Interstate 90 Tuesday into Tuesday night, they may produce pockets
of heavy rainfall and a risk of isolated flash flooding.

By the end of this week, heat and humidity building into the area
may produce periods of heat indices above 100F in some areas. Those
with outdoor activities planned, or with limited cooling resources,
will want to monitor the forecast and prepare for potential extreme
heat.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation may be needed between 3 pm and 10 pm today.

506 AM CDT Mon Jun 16 2025

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for southwest Minnesota, central
South Dakota, east central South Dakota, south central South Dakota
and southeast South Dakota.

.DAY ONE...Today and tonight.

An advancing outflow boundary may produce wind gusts of 45 to 55 mph
in portions of south central and southeast South Dakota early this
morning. Gusts are expected to diminish as the boundary continues
southeast and weakens. Scattered showers and storms also may move
across the area this morning. The risk for severe storms is low, but
storms may locally enhance the outflow winds with isolated gusts
above 60 mph possible.

Additional storms may move into south central South Dakota and areas
south of Interstate 90 after midnight tonight. If these storms hold
together, isolated strong wind gusts and locally heavy rain will be
the main threats.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday.

While confidence is lower, if additional storms track across areas
south of Interstate 90 Tuesday into Tuesday night, they may produce
pockets of heavy rainfall.

By the end of this week, heat and humidity building into the area
may produce periods of heat indices above 100F in some areas. Those
with outdoor activities planned, or with limited cooling resources,
will want to monitor the forecast and prepare for potential extreme
heat.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation is not expected at this time.
