SHORTWAVE ENERGY CURRENTLY TRACKING SOUTHEAST OVER THE WESTERN
DAKOTAS...WITH AN AREA OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE
SOUTHWESTERN PART OF THE CWA. WILL SEE A BIT OF A LULL IN THE
ACTION AROUND MIDDAY AND INTO THE AFTERNOON AS THE WAVE SLIDES
SOUTH OF THE AREA. WILL THEN SEE BETTER CHANCES OF PRECIPITATION
RETURN TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT AS SURFACE LOW PRESSURE
CURRENTLY WEST OF THE REGION TRACKS OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS AND
MORE SHORTWAVE ENERGY RIDES OVER THE TOP OF THE DAMPENING RIDGE.
CANNOT RULE OUT A SEVERE STORM OR TWO TUESDAY NIGHT AS DECENT
SHEAR WILL BE IN PLACE...BUT INSTABILITY LOOKS TO BE MINIMAL...SO
NOT EXPECTING WIDESPREAD SEVERE. FOR NOW...WILL KEEP SMALL POPS
IN ON WEDNESDAY...BUT THE MODELS ARE BEGINNING TO COME INTO
AGREEMENT WITH HIGH PRESSURE DROPPING SOUTHWARD OVER THE EASTERN
DAKOTAS DURING THAT TIME...WHICH MAY RESULT IN DRY OR DRYING
CONDITIONS.

WILL SEE JUST SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPERATURES ACROSS MOST OF THE CWA
TODAY...WITH HIGHS FROM AROUND 80 DEGREES ACROSS THE NORTHEAST TO

NORTHERN PLAINS FOR THE LONG TERM FORECAST. EMBEDDED ENERGY WILL
STILL PROVIDE FOR SOME CHANCES OF CONVECTION DESPITE MAIN
BAROCLINIC ZONE BEING WEST AND SOUTH OF THE ABR CWA THROUGH MUCH
OF THE PERIOD. POPS ARE THEREFORE BROAD BRUSH DUE TO LITTLE
CONFIDENCE IN ANY ONE MODEL SOLUTION. TEMPERATURES SHOULD AVERAGE
NEAR TO SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL BUT TREND WARMER AGAIN BY THE
WEEKEND.
