NWS Aberdeen, SD wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 24, 2:05 PM CST, 3 hours 30 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ABERDEEN SD 305 PM CDT SAT JUN 24 2006 .SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT FAIRLY ACTIVE MORNING WILL MAKE FOR A SHORT DISCUSSION. MODELS ARE AGAIN IN PRETTY FAIR AGREEMENT. SHORT TERM CONCERN IS WITH PRECIPITATION CHANCES AND COVERAGE TONIGHT. CURRENT WSR-88D SHOWS AN AREA OF CONVECTION MOVING SOUTH ALONG THE MISSOURI RIVER IN NORTH DAKOTA. THERE IS A SECOND AREA OF CONVECTION IN EASTERN NORTH DAKOTA THAT WILL LIKELY AFFECT THE NORTHEAST PART OF THIS FORECAST AREA. WHILE DYNAMICS ARE NOT IMPRESSIVE EXPECT THERE WILL BE ISOLATED SEVERE REPORTS WITH THIS. SURFACE BASED CAPE VALUES ARE ON THE ORDER OF 1000 J/KG WITH BULK SHEAR OF 25-30 KTS. EXPECT A BOOST FROM STRONG UPPER TROUGH ROTATING DOWN THE BACKSIDE OF THE UPPER H5 LOW NEAR HUDSON BAY. NAM MODEL SUGGESTS STRENGTHENING H7 UPPER WAVE CLOSING OFF OVER EASTERN NORTH DAKOTA THIS EVENING AND CONTINUEING TO MOVE SOUTHEAST. THIS WILL HELP FORM AN INVERTED TROUGH AT THE SURFACE BY AROUND MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. HAVE INCLUDED A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS ROTATING WITH THIS SYSTEM THROUGH TONIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN AT THE SURFACE BEHIND THIS SYSTEM AND THE NEXT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE MONDAY AFTERNOON AS ANOTHER UPPER WAVE ROTATES THROUGH THE AREA. A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS LATE MONDAY AND BRING A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS AIDED BY AFTERNOON HEATING. MOISTURE WILL BE AN ISSUE BUT AS WITH TODAY WILL LIKELY BE SUFFICIENT. .LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NO MAJOR CHANGES TO ONGOING FORECAST. STILL SOME CONCERN ABOUT TROF PASSAGE FROM HUDSON BAY VORTEX WEDNESDAY. ENSEMBLES SUPPORT MOST OF ENERGY EAST OF AREA BY 12 UTC WEDNESDAY. THIS LEAVES COOLER AIR ALOFT WITH STEEPER LAPSE RATES AND POSSIBLE SHOWERS WITH SURFACE HEATING. WITH NOTHING SPECIFIC TO POINT TO FOR FORCING OTHER THAN ENOUGH SURFACE HEATING...WILL CONTINUE DRY FOR WEDNESDAY AND WILL MONITOR THE STRENGTH OF THE COLD AIR AS PERIOD GETS CLOSER. OTHERWISE...PATTERN REMAINS STAGNANT WITH A RIDGE WEST TROF EAST SET UP. THIS LEADS TO A SURFACE HIGH REMAINING IN THE VICINITY OF THIS FORECAST AREA THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD. WITH THE CANADIAN AIR MASS IN PLACE...SHOULD NOT WARM UP TOO MUCH AND NO SOUTHERLY FLOW APPEARS TO BRING WARMER AIR THIS FAR NORTH. TEMPS WILL REMAIN NEAR CLIMATOLOGY OR EVEN SLIGHTLY BELOW WEDNESDAY...WITH WARMER AIR FINALLY APPEARING IN CENTRAL SOUTH DAKOTA BY NEXT WEEKEND. && .ABR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... SD...NONE.
