AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ABERDEEN SD
653 AM CDT MON JUN 16 2014

.UPDATE...
SEE BELOW FOR AN UPDATED AVIATION FORECAST DISCUSSION.

&&
.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
.SHORT TERM...MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY.
BOTTOM LINE UP FRONT! THE FORECAST IS SHAPING UP FOR A VERY
ACTIVE SEVERE WEATHER DAY ACROSS EASTERN SD. SEVERE WEATHER
PARAMETERS VERY IMPRESSIVE FOR SUPERCELL THUNDERSTORM AND
POSSIBLE TORNADOES. MAIN AREA OF CONCERN FOR THE STRONGEST STORMS
WILL MOST OF EASTERN SD ALONG AND WEST OF THE JAMES RIVER VALLEY
LATE MORNING THROUGH EARLY EVENING.

MODELS ARE MOSTLY INDICATING THUNDERSTORMS WILL INITIATE THIS
MORNING AFT 12Z IN SOUTH CENTRAL SD AND TRACK NORTHEAST.
EXTREMELY IMPRESSIVE SURGE OF MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY WILL PUSH
NORTHWARD THIS MORNING AS 50KT LOW LEVEL JET CRANKS UP. WARM
FRONT WILL STRETCH ACROSS THE EASTERN PORTION OF SD BY EARLY
AFTERNOON. DEWPOINTS WILL SURGE 10-15 DEG THIS MORNING. ONLY FLY
IN THE OINTMENT IS THAT PEAK HEATING POTENTIAL MAY NOT BE
REALIZED WITH EARLY CONVECTION KICKING OFF. HOWEVER...WITH STRONG
MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY....AND IMPRESSIVE SHEAR/JET
DYNAMICS...STRONG AND SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD NOT BE A
PROBLEM. CIPS ANALOGS SHOWING A VERY STRONG CORRELATION FOR
SEVERE WEATHER WITH THIS PATTERN. SEVERE STORMS SHOULD END EARLY
THIS EVENING AS THE LOW LEVEL JET TAKES FOCUS OVER SOUTHERN MN.

FOR TUESDAY...WARMER TEMPS AND MOIST AIRMASS REMAIN IN PLACE.
MODELS POINTING OUT ANOTHER ROUND OF CONVECTION ACROSS NORTHERN
SD NEAR THE WARM FRONT. SPC HAS THIS AREA IN SLIGHT RISK FOR
SEVERE WEATHER AGAIN. THIS UNSTABLE PATTERN CONTINUES INTO
WEDNESDAY AS STRONG UNSTABLE SOUTHERLY FLOW CONTINUES WITH
SHORTWAVES MOVING THROUGH. CAN NOT RULE OUT ANOTHER ROUND OF
SEVERE WEATHER ON WEDNESDAY. SPECIFIC TIMING FOR PRECIP DURING
THE PATTERN WILL BE TRICKY AS WELL AS NOCTURNAL ACTION A GOOD
BET.

.LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY
AT THE START OF THE PERIOD...LOW PRESSURE ENERGY IN A LONGWAVE
TROF IS LIFTING NORTH-NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND
NORTHERN PLAINS. ITS ATTENDED SYNOPTIC SCALE FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS
ACCOMPANYING IT. SAID WEATHER FEATURES SHOULD BE THROUGH THIS CWA
BY MID AFTERNOON ON THURSDAY...SIGNALING A PERIOD OF DRIER AND
SLIGHTLY COOLER WEATHER CONDITIONS FOR THE END OF THE WEEK. AS
THIS SYSTEM PUSHES THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/THURSDAY...THERE IS NO
LACK OF INGREDIENTS FOR DEEP CONVECTION. LLM AND DEEP LAYER SHEAR
ALL SUPPORT AT LEAST STRONG CONVECTION DEVELOPING/MOVING THROUGH
THIS CWA. PWATS ARE ALSO RATHER HIGH...SO THERE COULD BE SOME
ISSUES STEMMING FROM POSSIBLE HEAVY RAINERS...TOO.

THE PREFERRED 00Z ECMWF SOLUTION PUSHES THIS UPPER LOW CIRCULATION
THROUGH THE REGION INSTEAD OF CLOSING/CUTTING IT OFF AND LEAVING
IT TO MEANDER OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS LIKE THE GFS/CANADIAN
SUGGEST. THESE DIFFERENCES REALLY START SHOWING UP BY LATE
THURSDAY NIGHT. LEFT THE NOTEWORTHY MODEL DISCREPANCIES TO
ALLBLEND GUIDANCE TO SORT OUT FOR NOW.
