AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION FOR SOUTHEAST SD/SOUTHWEST MN/NORTHWEST IA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SIOUX FALLS SD
1020 AM CDT THU JUN 5 2003

NOT SO SUBTLE CLOSED COLD CORE CIRC BARRELING DOWN THE PIKE TOWARD
FSD CWA...WITH CORE NOW IN NWRN SD.  RATHER CHILLY MID LVL TMPS THIS
MORNING WITH UNSAMPLED MIN LKLY BASED ON 11Z POSN RELATIVE TO RAOB
NETWORK...AND ALREADY -22C 500 HPA AT UNR.  THREAT OF TSRA IS
PRIMARY CONCERN TODAY.

AGREE WITH SPC ON BACKING OFF SOMEWHAT ON AREAL COVERAGE OF SLGT
RISK IN SRN CWA.  SHEAR IS RATHER PATHETIC...AS IS TYPICAL IN THESE
WELL ROUNDED OLDER COLD CORE SYSTEMS. HOWEVER...WL HAVE TO WATCH FOR
POTENTIAL FOR LOW LVL WNDS TO BACK SOMEWHAT IN ADVANCE OF WK SFC
TROUGH HANGING IN WAIT OVR HEART OF CWA...MORE IN DEFERRENCE TO
MIXING WHICH WOULD FAVOR A MORE WLY COMP TO LOW LVL WNDS AS SEEN AT
HIER ELEVATIONS OF SW MN ALREADY.  WHAT IS NOT OF ANY QUESTION IS THE
DESTABILIZATION WHICH OCCURS WITH FAIRLY GOOD INSOLATION FOR ERN 2/3
OF CWA INTO EARLY AFTN.  SHEAR/STABILITY NUMBERS APPEAR TO FAVOR
MULTICELL HAILERS...AND REASONING IN PREV HWO STILL LOOKS GOOD.
EXPECT A FEW WARNINGS MAY BE IN STORE FOR AFTN...WITH HAIL NO LARGER
THAN QUARTERS BASED ON INSTABILITY...AND LKLY NOT MUCH PAST SUNSET
FOR THREAT. GREATEST THREAT ALG SERN MO RVR REGION. SHUD SEE QUITE
RAPID CU UP IN NEXT HOUR OR TWO...WITH PRIOR RAPID RISE IN TEMPS
SLOWING.

UPDATED GRIDS ALREADY...AND LTL MORE THAN A FEW TWEEKS TO ZONES
NEEDED. WL RAISE HIGHS A FEW DEGREES IN PARTS OF E AS TMPS HAVE
WARMED RAPIDLY.

.FSD...NONE
