AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION FOR SOUTHEAST SD/SOUTHWEST MN/NORTHWEST IA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SIOUX FALLS SD
300 PM CDT SAT JUN 24 2006

.DISCUSSION...
WATER VAPOR IMAGE SHOWING WELL THE SHORTWAVE LYING THROUGH SOUTHERN
NORTH DAKOTA AMD NORTHERN SOUTH DAKOTA...AND SEVERE CONVECTION HAS
BEEN BREAKING OUT OVER THE NORTHEASTERN PORTIONS OF OUR CWA THROUGH
THE AFTERNOON IN AREA OF HIGHEST CAPES AND BEST LI/S. WITH THE
FREEZING LEVEL DOWN AROUND TEN THOUSAND FEET...HAIL HAS BEEN THE
MAIN THREAT WITH THESE STORMS. AFTER THIS COMPLEX OF STORMS PUSHES
TO THE SOUTHEAST OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS...WE SHOULD GET A
BREAK OVER THE CWA UNTIL THE AFOREMENTIONED SW DROPS SOUTHWARD
RESULTING IN MORE REDEVELOPMENT LATER TONIGHT...ESPECIALLY OVER THE
EASTERN HALF OF THE CWA.  SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS LOOK TO END IN
THE SOUTH ON EARLY SUNDAY AFTERNOON..THEN DRY CONDITIONS ON MONDAY
AS A DEVELOPING CLOSED LOW OVER THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY PUSHES
TO THE SOUTH AND EAST. AS ADDITIONAL CANADIAN ENERGY IS TAPPED AND
DROPS INTO THE UPPER MIDWEST IN THE TUESDAY TIME FRAME...MAY BE ABLE
TO SQUEEZE OUT A FEW SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS OVER OUR NORTHERN AND
EASTERN ZONES LATE MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY.

AFTER THAT...THE REST OF NEXT WEEK LOOKS TO BE MAINLY DRY...WITH THE
NORTHERN PLAINS SITUATED BETWEEN A RIDGE OVER THE WESTERN U.S. AND A
TROUGH OVER THE EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE COUNTRY.  THIS WILL OF
COURSE KEEP US IN A NORTH TO NORTHWESTERLY FLOW...WITH TEMPERATURES
AT OR JUST BELOW NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR.
