AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION FOR SOUTHEAST SD/SOUTHWEST MN/NORTHWEST IA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SIOUX FALLS SD
355 PM CDT TUE JUN 12 2001

FAIRLY STRONG MID LVL SHORTWV MOVG THRU CWA ATTM...INTERACTING WITH
POTENT WMFNT WHICH HAS MOVED NWD TOWARD SIOUX CITY. THIS WMFNT WL
CONT TO LIFT NWD AS THE NIGHT PROGESSES...MAINLY OVR THE ERN HALF OF
THE CWA...AND SOME OVERNIGHT LOWS OVER THE EAST MAY NOT BE MUCH
COLDER THAN THEIR CRNT READINGS RIGHT NOW. AS FAR AS CONVECTION
CHANCES...AM WONDERING WHAT MAY OR MAY NOT DVLP BEHIND THE CRNT LINE
OF CONVECTION MOVG THRU THE I 90 CORRIDOR. SO FAR...NO ECHOES TO
REPORT ON THE KOAX AND KLNX 88D'S...AND IN FACT CONDITIONS HAVE
CLOUDED UP AGAIN IN NE NEB. CRNT THOUGHTS NOW...ARE THAT EVENING
CONVECTION MAY HAVE TROUBLE BREAKING ALONG THE WMFNT DUE TO A LACK
OF MID LVL SUPPORT TO KICK IT OFF...HOWEVER OF COURSE...THIS IS VERY
TRICKY. CAP STRENGHTENS OVR MUCH OF THE CWA VERY LATE TNGT...AS
700MB LVL DRAMATICALLY WM'S AHD OF CDFNT TO THE WEST.
THEREFORE...NOT REAL CONFIDENT THAT THE WRN HIGH PLAINS CONVECTION
WL MOVE MUCH FURTHER EAST THAN THE JAMES VALLEY OR THE FAR NRN TIER
OF CWA...AS IT LIFTS E TO NEWD WITH THE MID LVL FLOW AND OVER THE
CAP. SO THEREFORE WORDED THE ZONES ACCORDINGLY.

CDFNT MOVES INTO CWA ON WEDNESDAY...AND USED THE AVN/ETA SOLN FOR
TIMING. STRONG CAP EXISTS AHD OF THE BNDRY...SO PCPN LOOKS TO BE
RIGHT ALONG AND BEHIND THE FNT. COULD ACTUALLY GET QUITE WM IN THE
ERN HALF...WITH STOUT SRLY WINDS AND PARTLY SUNNY SKIES. THIS IS THE
AREA TO BE MOST CONCERNED ABOUT FOR SVR CHCS...FM ARND YANKTON TO
JACKSON MN. JAMES VALLEY MAY NOT GET MUCH OUT OF THE FRONTAL BNDRY
AS THEY ARE TOO FAR BEHIND THE CONVERGENT ZONE. AS THE CAPPING
BREAKS ALONG THE BNDRY...CONVECTION SHOULD FIRE LATE IN THE DAY AND
THRU THE NIGHT IN THE EAST.

THURSDAY LOOKS MUCH COOLER AND SHOWERY OVER MANY LOCATIONS...WRAP
ARND BEHIND THE SYSTEM. STILL A SMALL SHORTWV PROGGED ON SUNDAY...
BUT AGREE WITH THE PMDEPD THAT THE MRF HGTS LOOK ONCE AGAIN
OVERDONE...SO TRENDED THE TEMPS CLOSER TO NORMAL.

.FSD...NONE
 FUHS
