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
