AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION FOR SOUTHEAST SD/SOUTHWEST MN/NORTHWEST IA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SIOUX FALLS SD
153 AM CDT WED JUN 29 2005

.DISCUSSION...
WL WRITE AN EARLY DISC IN CASE CONVECTION BREAKS OUT A BIT LATER.
CURRENTLY...SOME TS HAS FIRED RIGHT ALONG I 90 BETWEEN KMHE AND
KFSD. THIS IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE VERY STRONG H85 WMFNT LIFTING NWD
AND ON THE NOSE OF THE H7 CAP. YESTERDAY THE NAM HAD PROGGED A VERY
STRONG 50KT WIND AT 6 KM FOR RIGHT NOW...HOWEVER REALITY FM AREA
RAOBS AND PROFILERS SHOW THE 6 KM WIND AT ONLY 15 TO 25 KTS. THIS
GOES QUITE AWAYS IN EXPLAINING THE LACK OF UPPER FORCING IN KEEPING
THE CONVECTION FM GETTING OUT OF CONTROL TONIGHT...AT LEAST SO FAR.
AS TIME PROGRESSES OVER THE NEXT 6 HRS...A VERY STRONG H7 THERMAL
RIDGE SHOOTS NWD INTO THIS FA...AFFECTING ALL AREAS IN THE FA EXCEPT
OUR FAR N AND FAR E. WITH GOING CONVECTION IN WRN NEB...OPTED TO PUT
IN CHC POPS OVER THE FAR WRN CWFA BETWEEN 11Z AND 14Z...WITH SLGT
CHC POPS ACROSS OUR N WHERE THE CAP HAS THE LEAST AFFECT AND ALONG
THE DEPARTING WMFNT. THIS AFTN...STRONG UPPER TROF AND ASSOCIATED
CDFNT WL MOV EWD ACROSS THIS AREA. THE MAIN STORY HERE HAS BEEN A
SLOWER MOVEMENT WITH THE SFC FNT. STRONG JET STREAK FOR THIS TIME OF
YEAR AT THE BASE OF THE UPPER TROF WITH 40 TO 45 KT WINDS AT 6 KM
PROGGED IN OUR WRN CWFA...AND 50 TO 60 KTS IN OUR ERN HALF...BOTH
PER THE NAM. NOT SURE IF I TRUST THESE SPPEDS ATTM...BUT IT IS A
STRONG UPPER TROF. IF THESE WINDS DO PAN OUT...DEFINITE SVR CHCS WL
BE IN THE OFFING OVR THE ERN CWFA THIS AFTN...LINGERING IN THE FAR E
EARLY THIS EVENING WITH DEEP LYR DIR SHEAR AND STRONG INSTABILITY.

WAVE QUICKLY EXITS AFTER EVENING TONIGHT. NW FLOW BOTH ALOFT AND AT
THE SFC TAKES OVER ON THU WITH BREEZY CONDS AND WL MIXED AIR. NAM
CONTS TO SHOW HIGH LVLS OF H85 RH ON THU OVER MUCH OF OUR N AND ERN
PTNS OF THE FA ASSOCIATED WITH CAA STRATOCU. NEXT WX FEATURE TO LOOK
AT IS LATE FRI NIGHT...WITH RETURN FLOW BEGINNING ALONG WITH STRONG
H85 WAA THRU THE WRN HALF OF THE FA. H7-H5 LAPSE RATES ARE BEGINNING
TO STEEPEN UP SOMEWHAT...SO KEPT CHCS OF TS GOING THRU THE WRN HALF
OF THE FA AFTER MIDNIGHT. HAVE NOT LOOKED CLOSELY AT TEMPS YET...BUT
QUICK GLANCE AT THE H85 TEMPS EARLIER ON THE MODELS WL GIVE NO MAJOR
CHANGES TO GOING FCST.
