Hail in Wyoming, June 10, 2017

Area Forecast Discussion For Western SD and Northeastern WY
National Weather Service Rapid City SD
521 PM MDT Sat Jun 10 2017

.DISCUSSION...(This Evening Through Saturday)
Issued at 205 PM MDT Sat Jun 10 2017

PAC NW Upper trough continues to support periodic impulses into
the region, supporting a wavering frontal boundary over the FA.
This will be the case through early next week, at which time the
entire upper trough will finally eject over the region and support
a vigorous storm system into the FA Monday. A shortwave trough is
taking aim on the region and will provide enough forcing in the
presence of the departing jet streak entrance region to support
elevated convection tonight across the northern 2/3 to half of the
fa. Staunch pos theta-e adv (indicated well at h7 with a bubble
of +335K air advecting over the region ahead of the mid level
trough) coupled with steep mid level lapse rates will support
support 1000-2000 J/KG of elevated CAPE. Effective bulk shear
numbers in excess of 50 knots coupled with CAPE/forcing parameters
will be more than sufficient for a few rotating updrafts,
supporting a severe threat, mainly large hail. HRRR UH tracks
certainly support this as well. Best chance for storms will be
from the central/northern Black Hills northeast out to Dupree. TS
will exit the region early Sunday morning with ll flow becoming NE
as the impulse forces pressure rises into the region.

Generally quiet weather expected Sunday during the day as weak
subsidence and ll dry NE flow supports subsidence over the region.
However, the main upper low will begin to push toward the region
Sunday night, supporting elevated pos theta-e adv over the region
esp the western third. This will likely support diurnal convection
over central/southern WY which will spread north overnight, esp
over the far western third. Low level moisture adv will begin to
slowly ramp up Monday as pos theta-e adv continues through Monday
ahead of the advancing upper low. This may support a band of
elevated convection through most of the FA moving north through
morning and possibly into early afternoon. The main show will be
Monday evening and overnight hours. Main upper trough will push
into the region, supporting strong large scale ascent, with a
potent 50-70 knot mid level jet streak. This will support
impressive bulk shear values over 50 knots with steepening mid-
level lapse rates. The main wild card will be the amount of
moisture return back into the FA, which will be the determining
factor on the intensity and coverage of expected severe weather.
Forecast models have been running a little high on ll moisture
advection with the last few systems, esp given the ongoing dry
conds. However, given expected moisture pooling along the wavering
front coupled with the weak southward surge of the ll frontal
boundary Sunday and the proximity of the FA to deeper moisture (SE
Nebraska), expect that moisture profiles should not be too far
off in current GFS/NAM progs, which should support a good chance
of supercell TS with potential upscale growth into a large severe
MCS tracking NE across the central FA (just north of the sfc low),
esp given LLJ development Monday night. Storms would likely fire
in WY (possibly just south of our FA Monday evening) and shift NE
and expand over the region Monday night. Large hail, damaging
winds, and isolated tornadoes would be possible (given highly
curved LL hodographs), with potential QLCS tendencies later Monday
night.

Cooler but mainly dry conds can be expected after Monday, with
perhaps a few diurnal showers under the upper low Tues across NE
WY. Upper flow will then trend WNW with subtle impulses in the
flow perhaps supporting slight chances for SHRA/TS at times, but
nothing to warrant a pop mention attm.

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS Through 00Z Sunday Evening)
Issued At 519 PM MDT Sat Jun 10 2017

TSRA will develop this evening across northeast WY/Black Hills
region and then spread east/northeast overnight. MVFR CIGS/VSBYS
will occur with the strongest storms along with hail/gusty winds.
Outside of TSRA, VFR conditions will prevail through the period.
