NWS Sioux Falls, SD wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 23, 7:15 PM CST, 5 hours 40 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION FOR SOUTHEAST SD/SOUTHWEST MN/NORTHWEST IA NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SIOUX FALLS SD 815 PM CDT THU JUN 23 2005 .DISCUSSION... KFSD 88D CURRENTLY HAVING SOME DEGRADED SIGNALS AND ELECTRONICS PEOPLE WORKING THE PROBLEM AS WE SPEAK. WX WISE...LEADING EDGE OF SFC CDFNT HAS JUST ENTERED THE FAR WRN PTN OF THE FSD FA. NEW AREA RAOBS SHOW ALL H7 READINGS AT +12C...AND EVEN MORE SCARY IS TEMPS AT H5 FM -7 TO -8C. SO ITS HOT ALOFT...AND NO WONDER TS HAS NOT FIRED UP...AT LEAST YET...ALONG THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY IN OUR WEST. CLOSEST CELL WE HAVE IS IN SERN MELLETTE COUNTY...ALMOST TO NW TRIPP. THIS KIND OF ISOLD ACTIVITY WL BE POSSIBLE IN OUR WRN CWFA THRU THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT IF OR WHEN ONE OR TWO BREAK THE CAP. RAOBS ARE UNSTABLE OF COURSE...BUT MOST ARE HIDEOUSLY DRY...MINUS THE KLBF SNDG WHICH ISNT TOO UNMOIST IN THE MID LVLS. MAIN SVR THREAT WOULD BE STRONG WINDS AS THE KABR SNDG IS ALSO SOMEWHAT UNIDIRECTIONAL IN THE MID LVLS. LARGE HAIL WL BE MARGINAL DUE TO VERY HIGH FREEZING LVLS. DECENT DEEP LYR SHEAR IS ALSO LACKING ON THE KOAX/KLBF SNDGS...BUT BETTER ON THE KABR SNDG AT ABOUT 25 KTS. HAVE UPDATED THE TEMP/DEW PT AND MIN TEMP GRIDS JUST A TAD. THE SKY COVER AND WX GRIDS DO NOT LOOK TOO BAD ATTM. BETTER CHCS FOR RAIN WL BE POST FRONTAL AS THE MID LVL TEMPS COOL OFF...WHICH WL NOT BE UNTIL LATE TONIGHT AND FRIDAY...AND MAINLY IN THE SRN HALF OF THE FSD FA CLOSER TO THE H85 BOUNDARY. && .PREV DISCUSSION... CONCERNS FOR THIS PACKAGE ARE MULTIPLE CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS AND WITH EACH ONE WHETHER OR NOT THE CAP WILL SUPPRESS ACTIVITY. FOR THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...STOUT MID LEVEL TEMPERATURES SEEN ON MORNING RAOBS AS WELL AS A VERY DRY ATMOSPHERE. 1925Z ACARS SOUNDING FROM ABR SHOWS CAP AROUND 800MB...WITH PLENTY MORE WARMING NEEDED TO BREAK THROUGH. WATER VAPOR INDICATES SOME MID AND UPPER LEVEL MOISTURE ADVECTION...BUT THIS GENERALLY HEADING INTO NORTH DAKOTA. VAPOR LOOP DOES INDICATE A LITTLE WEAK MOISTURE ADVECTION/POTENTIAL LIFT STREAMING NORTH FROM CENTRAL NEBRASKA...WHICH COULD AID IN SOME ISOLATED DEVELOPMENT LATE AFT/EARLY EVE. HOWEVER...LATEST MODELS FINALLY NOT JUST BREAKING DOWN THE CAP THIS AFTERNOON IN THE JAMES VALLEY AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT...CLOSE TO DEVELOPING PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH IN JAMES VALLEY...AND WILL LIKELY NEED TO WAIT FOR COLD FRONT/COLD ADVECTION ALOFT TO MOVE IN. CONVECTION FIRING IN ND WHERE UPPER LEVEL FORCING MUCH MORE PRONOUNCED...AND SOME OF THIS UPPER LEVEL FORCING DOES SLIP INTO CENTRAL SD THIS EVENING. SO...THINKING THAT BEST CHANCE FOR CONVECTION WILL BE IN THE JAMES VALLEY AND POINTS WEST...AND SHOULD REMAIN FAIRLY ISOLATED TO SCATTERED. ENOUGH INSTABILITY TO SUPPORT SEVERE...WITH MAIN THREAT STRONG WINDS. WILL KEEP LOWS MILD AGAIN...ALTHOUGH SLIGHTLY COOLER THAN THIS MORNING. FOR FRIDAY...BOUNDARY SLIPS INTO CWA AND MAY STALL ACROSS SOUTHERN CWA. IF BOUNDARY CAN STALL THERE...AND AIR ALONG AND NORTH OF BOUNDARY IS NOT TOO STABLE...SHEAR WILL ACTUALLY BE A LITTLE BETTER SO SEVERE THREAT WILL AGAIN BE THERE. OTHERWISE...BOUNDARY SHOULD SHIFT SOUTH OF THE CWA FRIDAY EVENING...THEN BEGIN TO RETURN ON SATURDAY. LATE SATURDAY AFTERNOON INTO SATURDAY EVENING LOOKS TO BE THE NEXT BEST SHOT FOR THUNDERSTORMS AS JUICY AIR RETURNS. WILL GO HIGHEST POPS NORTH OF I90. IN THE LATTER PERIODS...LOOKS HOT ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY...THEN UPPER LEVEL ENERGY GETS A LITTLE FARTHER SOUTH AND COULD SEE SOME CONVECTION FROM TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY. UPPER LEVEL ENERGY NOT VERY STRONG...SO ANY MOVEMENT OF THE BOUNDARY AT THE SFC WILL BE DICTATED BY CONVECTION. SO...FOR WEDNESDAY...LEFT BOUNDARY A LITTLE FARTHER NORTH THAN LATEST GFS/DGEX...AND WENT ABOVE GUIDANCE FROM MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...THEN STAYED A LITTLE CLOSER ON THURSDAY AS CONFIDENCE DECREASES. && .FSD WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... SD...NONE. MN...NONE. IA...NONE. NE...NONE. && MJF/08
