NWS Aberdeen, SD wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 13, 2:00 PM CST, 3 hours 12 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION FOR CENTRAL/NORTHCENTRAL AND NORTHEAST SOUTH DAKOTA AND WEST CENTRAL MINNESOTA NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ABERDEEN SD 300 PM CDT WED JUN 13 2001 INTERESTING PACKAGE TODAY AS WE SIT BETWEEN RAIN EVENTS. WITH THE WET GROUND...TIMING AND LOCATION OF FUTURE EVENTS IS THE FOCUS FOR THIS PACKAGE. FOR TONIGHT SURFACE LOW IS CURRENTLY IN SOUTHERN SOUTH DAKOTA WITH AN INVERTED TROUGH EXTENDING NORTHEAST INTO THIS COUNTY WARNING AREA. LAPS ANALYSIS DEPICTS A WARM FRONTAL BOUNDARY THROUGH THE EAST PART OF OUR AREA. THE SURFACE LOW WILL WEAKEN AS THE UPPER LOW CENTER NOW OVER THE ROCKIES SWEEPS ACROSS THE PLAINS INDUCING A STRONGER SURFACE LOW TO OUR SOUTHWEST. IN THE INTERIM THE INVERTED TROUGH WILL REMAIN ROUGHLY STATIONARY OVER OUR EASTERN AREA. CURRENT WSR-88D LOOP IS SHOWING SHOWERS FORMING ALONG THE MISSOURI RIVER AND FILLING IN ALONG THE TROUGH IN THE EAST. CURRENT LAPS ANALYSIS DEPICTS CAPE VALUES OVER 5K J/KG IN SOUTHEAST SOUTH DAKOTA. 30 KT LOW LEVEL JET IS PUSHING INTO THE SOUTH EAST PART OF THE STATE BRINGING FAIRLY STRONG WARM ADVECTION TO THE EAST. COLD ADVECTION IN THE MID LEVELS HAS STARTED IN THE WEST PART OF THE CWA. EXPECT THUNDERSTORMS TO FORM AND DRIFT ALONG BOUNDARY IN EASTERN PART OF THE STATE. CURRENT FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE VALUES ARE QUITE LOW SO WILL ISSUE A FLASH FLOOD WATCH WITH THIS PACKAGE FOR THE EASTERN PART OF THE CWA FOR TONIGHT. RAIN WILL CONTINUE ALONG INVERTED TROUGH THROUGH TOMORROW UNTIL UPPER LOW PUSHES THROUGH WITH SURFACE LOW CAPTURED IN ITS CIRCULATION. TEMPERATURES WILL BE MODIFIED BECAUSE OF THE RAIN BUT MOS SEEMS TO HAVE A REASONABLE HANDLE ON THIS. .EXTENDED FORECAST DISCUSSION... EXTENDED MODELS ARE NOT IN VERY GOOD AGREEMENT THIS AFTERNOON. AFTER ANALYZING THE MODELS AND THE ENSEMBLES A LITTLE MORE...I HAVE DECIDED TO GO WITH THE A BLEND OF THE MRF AND ECMWF FOR THE FORECAST PACKAGE. SOME RIDGING WILL BEGIN IN THE ZONAL FLOW OVER THE STATE BY TUESDAY. WEAK SHORT WAVES WILL MOVE WITH THIS UPPER FLOW SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. THE TIMING OF THESE SHORT WAVES STILL REMAINS TRICKY. NEVER-THE-LESS THE CHANCE OF SOME SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THIS TIME. THE MRF MOS TEMPERATURES LOOKS TO BE ON THE COOL SIDE DO TO THE LACK OF DEVELOPING THE EXPECTED RIDGE. THEREFORE WILL DO SOME ADJUSTING TO THE TEMPS MAINLY TOWARD THE END OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. .ABR...FLASH FLOOD WATCH EASTERN CWA. KEEFE/SALMONS
