AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION FOR SOUTHEAST SD/SOUTHWEST MN/NORTHWEST IA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SIOUX FALLS SD
358 AM CDT MON JUN 23 2003

SEVERE WEATHER/HEAVY RAIN THREAT OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS AT THE
FOCUS OF THIS FORECAST.  YESTERDAY CONCERN WAS THAT MODIFIED AIRMASS
FROM EARLY MORNING CONVECTION WHICH MOVED THROUGH OUR CWA WOULD HAVE
A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON AFTERNOON/EVENING CHANCES FOR REDEVELOPMENT.
THIS TURNED OUT TO BE A VALID CONCERN...AS OUTFLOW BOUNDARY PUSHED
WELL SOUTH INTO EASTERN NEBRASKA AND KEPT WIDESPREAD THUNDERSTORMS
AT BAY FOR US.

THIS MORNING WE HAVE MUCH MORE LIMITED CONVECTION IN OUR AREA...WITH
WIDESPREAD ACTIVITY TO OUR SOUTH WHICH IS FORCING AN OUTFLOW BNDRY
BACK NORTHWARD NEAR OUR SOUTHERN CWA.  IN ADDITION TO THIS...A
COUPLE OF SHORTWAVES FORECAST TO SLIDE NORTHEAST AROUND PERSISTANT
UPPER TROUGH OVER THE ROCKIES.  THIS SHOULD HELP PUSH PRIMARY SFC
FRONT SOUTHEAST INTO THE CWA.  EXPECTED PRESENCE OF THIS LARGER
SCALE FEATURE ALONG WITH MORE MESOSCALE BOUNDARIES SHOULD MEAN AN
INCREASED CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS AND FOCUS OF SEVERE WEATHER OVER
OUR CWA THIS AFTERNOON AND OVERNIGHT.  WILL MENTION CHANCE OF SEVERE
IN ZONES ACROSS THE CW BY LATE AFTERNOON...WITH GREATEST TSRA CHANCE
IN NORTHWEST CWA THIS AFTERNOON NEAR SYNOPTIC FRONT...AND LESSER POP
IN THE SOUTHEAST DUE TO UNCERTAINTY OF MESOSCALE BOUNDARY LOCATION.
WILL HIGHLIGHT POSSIBILITY OF TORNADOES AND LARGE HAIL IN HWO FOR
THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...BUT LEAVE AREA SOMEWHAT VAGUE DUE TO
DEPENDENCE ON MESOSCALE FEATURES THAT ARE DIFFICULT TO PIN DOWN AT
THIS POINT.

EXPECT SCENARIO SOMEWHAT SIMILAR TO WHAT IS OCCURRING IN SOUTHERN
NEBRASKA THIS PAST NIGHT TO OCCUR CLOSER TO I-90 CORRIDOR THIS
COMING NIGHT.  HAVE BUMPED POPS UP TO LIKELY RANGE ALONG AND NORTH
OF A YKN-SPW LINE FOR LATER TONIGHT...WITH MENTION OF HEAVY RAIN AND
POSSIBLE DAMAGING WIND.  WITH LACK OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL OVER THE
AREA IN RECENT DAYS...WILL HOLD OFF ON ISSUING FLOOD WATCH FOR NOW
AND LET DAY SHIFT TAKE THE LEAD AFTER WATCHING SITUATION COME
TOGETHER MORE DURING THE AFTERNOON.

FRONT IS FORECAST TO LINGER OVER THE AREA INTO TUESDAY...PROVIDING
ANOTHER DAY WITH POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER. CWA AGAIN HIGHLIGHTED
BY SPC MODERATE RISK FOR DAY 1 AND 2...AND THIS SEEMS REASONABLE
GIVEN CURRENT MODEL SOLUTIONS.

FRONT FINALLY GETS A PUSH SOUTHEAST OF THE AREA BY WEDNESDAY
EVENING...WITH BOTH ETA AND GFS SHOWING SOME MARKEDLY COOLER 850MB
TEMPS IN ITS WAKE.  HAVE COOLED OFF HIGHS ACROSS NORTHWEST AREAS OF
THE CWA FOR WEDNESDAY...BUT WANT DAY SHIFT TO HAVE A CHANCE TO LOOK
AT ADDITIONAL LONG RANGE SOLUTIONS BEFORE JUMPING ON SIGNIFICANTLY
COOLER FORECAST IN THE LONGER RANGE. THUS MADE NO CHANGES BEYOND
WEDNESDAY AT THIS TIME.

.FSD...NONE
