UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS HAS LOW OVER THE PACIFIC NW...WITH SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW AHEAD OF IT ACROSS THE ROCKIES AND NORTHERN PLAINS. REGIONAL RADARS SHOW A LINE OF STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS OVER FAR NORTHEASTERN MT INTO WESTERN ND...WITH OTHER SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY FURTHER SOUTH ACROSS WESTERN SD INTO WESTERN NEB. A COUPLE OF STORMS ACROSS OUR AREA HAS BEEN ON THE STRONG SIDE WITH GUSTY WINDS AND SMALL HAIL. TEMPS ARE VERY WARM AHEAD OF THE FRONT...WITH 70S ACROSS MUCH OF THE SD PLAINS...60S BEHIND THE FRONT ACROSS NORTHEASTERN WY AND INTO THE BLACK HILLS. WITH LOW LEVEL JET IN PLACE...WINDS ARE SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST AND GUSTY ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE SD PLAINS. COLD FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK SLOWLY EAST ACROSS THE CWA THIS MORNING...REACHING CENTRAL SD AROUND 18Z AND THEN STALLING OUT THERE IN THE AFTERNOON. HIGHS WILL BE IN THE MID 70S TO MID 80S...WARMEST OVER SOUTHERN AND EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA. GUSTY NORTHWESTERLY WINDS WILL DEVELOP FOR A FEW HOURS BEHIND THE FRONT THIS MORNING IN SOME AREAS...ESPECIALLY FROM 2WX TO THE RAP AREA. SHOWERS AND STORMS AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL MOVE EAST AND OUT OF THE AREA DURING THE EARLY MORNING. MUCH DRIER AIR WILL BUILD IN FROM THE WEST BEHIND THE FRONT. BY THE AFTERNOON...ANY CHANCES FOR SHOWERS ADN STORMS SHOULD BE LIMITED TO FAR EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA FROM PERKINS COUNTY TO SOUTH CENTRAL SD. WITH THE FRONT STALLING OVER SOUTH CENTRAL SD...THERE IS A THREAT FOR A STRONG TO SEVERE STORM OR TWO DURING THE EARLY TO MID AFTERNOON IN THE WINNER AREA...WITH BETTER CHANCES FURTHER TO THE EAST. WINDS WILL TURN EAST TO NORTHEAST TONIGHT...BRINGING INCREASING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE BACK INTO THE AREA. AS UPPER LOW ROTATES ACROSS THE NORTHERN ROCKIES...SHORTWAVE ENERGY WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REGION...ESPECIALLY DURING THE OVERNIGHT. WILL KEEP CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS OVER MOST OF THE AREA...WITH THE BEST CHANCES OVER NORTHWESTERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA. SOME OF THIS ACTIVITY COULD LINGER INTO FRIDAY MORNING...ESPECIALLY OVER NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA. ON FRIDAY...LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE AS WINDS BECOME EAST TO SOUTHEAST IN MOST AREAS. ATMOSPHERE WILL BECOME VERY UNSTABLE IN THE AFTERNOON...WITH CAPE VALUES OF 1500 TO 3000 J/KG EXPECTED ACROSS MOST OF THE CWA. SHEAR WILL BECOME MORE FAVORABLE FOR SUPERCELLS AS WELL BY LATE AFTERNOON. THERE IS UNCERTAINTY WITH REGARD TO TIMING OF STORM DEVELOPMENT...DEPENDING MOSTLY ON WHEN THE PREVIOUS NIGHT/MORNING CONVECTION EXITS AND HOW QUICKLY THE NEXT DISTURBANCE ARRIVES. ASSUMING TEMPS WARM AS EXPECTED...UPPER 70S TO UPPER 80S...CAP WILL ERODE IN THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING FROM WEST TO EAST. WITH ALL THESE ELEMENTS IN PLACE...IT COULD BE A RATHER ACTIVE DAY FOR SEVERE WEATHER. THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE STORMS ACROSS THE ENTIRE CWA FOR MUCH OF THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. LARGE HAIL AND STRONG WIND GUSTS WILL BE THE MAIN THREATS. AN ISOLATED TORNADO THREAT LOOKS MOST FAVORABLE ACROSS FAR SOUTHWESTERN SD LATE IN THE DAY. && .LONG TERM...SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY ISSUED AT 335 AM MDT THU JUN 20 2013 SHORTWAVE AT BOTTOM OF UPPER LOW WILL EJECT INTO THE DAKOTAS SATURDAY. LOW PRESSURE WILL DEVELOP AHEAD OF THE SHORTWAVE OVER EASTERN WY/WESTERN NE/SD. PERSISTENT EASTERLY BOUNDARY LAYER FLOW AHEAD OF LOW WILL BRING MODERATE/STRONG INSTABILITY AND 0-6KM SHEAR TO THE CWA...ESPECIALLY IN SD. POTENTIAL ACTIVE SEVERE WEATHER DAY WITH VERY LARGE HAIL POSSIBLE...AS WELL AS ISOLATED TORNADOES. UPPER LEVEL RIDGE REDEVELOPS BEHIND SYSTEM FOR SUNDAY INTO NEXT WEEK. ALTHOUGH ISOLATED TSRA MAY OCCUR WITH ANY RIDGE RIDERS...MUCH DRIER AIR AS WELL AS STRONG WARMING ALOFT SHOULD PROHIBIT ANY ORGANIZED CONVECTION. TEMPERATURES WILL BE QUITE WARM. && .AVIATION...FOR THE 12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z FRIDAY MORNING ISSUED AT 335 AM MDT THU JUN 20 2013 A COLD FRONT WILL SLIP THROUGH THE AREA EARLY THIS MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON HOURS.
