Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Aberdeen SD 1251 AM CDT Sun Jun 7 2026 .KEY MESSAGES... - Strong winds will be out of the south to southeast, with gusts of 30 to 50 mph over central South Dakota this afternoon and west of Interstate 29 Sunday afternoon. Highest gusts will be over portions of north central South Dakota, with locally higher gusts possible. - Thunderstorms return to the area Sunday evening through Sunday night. There is a Slight Risk (level 2 of 5) for severe weather along and northwest of a line from Eureka to Murdo with an Enhanced Risk (3 of 5) in portions of Corson and Dewey county. There is a Marginal Risk (1 of 5) as far east as the Sisseton Hills. Main threats include large hail (golfball) and 70 mph wind gusts. - Severe thunderstorms return Tuesday and Wednesday with a Slight Risk across the region on Tuesday and along and east of the James Valley on Wednesday. && .UPDATE... Issued at 1239 AM CDT Sun Jun 7 2026 The aviation discussion has been updated for the 06Z TAFS. UPDATE Issued at 1100 PM CDT Sat Jun 6 2026 Update to get rid of wind advisory, as winds have diminished. UPDATE Issued at 621 PM CDT Sat Jun 6 2026 The ongoing forecast remains in good shape. We'll be monitoring the winds over Corson/Dewey Counties this evening to see if the ongoing Wind Advisory will be allowed to expire early. Currently though, the Grand River RAWS is still gusting to 46 mph. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 130 PM CDT Sat Jun 6 2026 High pressure across the Great Lakes and sfc low pressure over the Rockies is tightening the pressure gradient across South Dakota today to about 16 mb by 21z. South to southeast winds will increase accordingly by late afternoon especially across north central SD where winds may gust to 50 mph. The mitigating factor will be the lack of any cold air advection, but the 40 to 50 kt llj this evening should compensate. The story is much the same for Sunday, though only with a 12 mb gradient as the low moves into western SD. As it pushes east, shear will increase along with moisture convergence. The increased instability migrates east with the low Sunday night into early Monday morning with a marginal to enhanced (level 3 of 5) risk for severe storms. The slight risk extends northwest of a line from Murdo to Eureka with the enhanced risk over portions of Corson and Dewey county. The marginal risk is as far east as the Sisseton Hills. All threats are possible, but strong winds and large hail are most likely outside of the enhanced risk area. Would not be surprised to see this system develop into an MCS as it propagates farther east late Sunday night. Temperatures will be a bit cooler behind the front/low on Monday, but the respite will be brief as 90s surge back in for Tuesday. Will need to watch heat indices on Tuesday for potential headlines as "feels-like" temps could push above 100 south of Hwy 14. The main concern Tuesday and into Wednesday focuses on another cold front moving across the region, impacting central SD from around 21z Tuesday. A 60 to 70 kt jet streak and shortwave energy moving through the upper trough will help enhance instability around the sfc front. For the moment, a slight risk is anticipated to cover the entire cwa on Tuesday with Wednesday's slight risk primarily over and east of the James Valley. && .AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z MONDAY/... Issued at 1239 AM CDT Sun Jun 7 2026 Terminals KABR,KATY,KPIR,KMBG Expect to see VFR conditions prevailing at all TAF sites through most of this forecast cycle. Breezy southeast surface winds will persist through the early morning but not enough to preclude mention of low level wind shear (LLWS) at KABR/KPIR/KMBG terminals. Gusty southeast winds between 25-35 kts are expected by mid to late morning through the end of the day at all terminals. Increasing low level moisture advecting into east central SD toward the end of the period could lead to high end MVFR/low end VFR CIGs. A PROB30 group was added to the KMBG forecast for -TSRA potential late in this TAF cycle. && .ABR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... SD...None.
