Area Forecast Discussion For Western SD and Northeastern WY National Weather Service Rapid City SD 507 PM MDT Fri Jun 7 2019 .DISCUSSION...(This Evening Through Friday) Issued at 138 PM MDT Fri Jun 7 2019 Upper level analysis has ridging to the east and deep trof to the west with southwest flow in between across the Northern Plains. Skies are partly cloudy at the moment, with thunderstorms developing across southeast Wyoming. At the surface, low pressure is located across southern Manitoba and also across central Wyoming, with a cold front draped between the two across western South Dakota. Temperatures at 2pm are in the upper 70s to upper 80s, with winds out of the south ahead of the front, and out of the northwest behind. Cold front / trof will hang up across the area this afternoon as showers and thunderstorms continue to develop across the area. Initiation has begun in southeast Wyoming, and with southwest upper flow, will steer convection into western SD after 3pm. Expect additional convection to develop across northeast Wyoming and the Black Hills by late afternoon with severe storms likely. Modest CAPE and shear along with better upper dynamics later this afternoon / early evening will likely produce some larger hail in some storms, with storms congealing into a large cluster later tonight across northwest SD. As the storms merge, damaging wind gusts will accompany the large hail threat. Majority of stronger storms will eventually shift into North Dakota later tonight with isolated showers and storms lingering across parts of the area after midnight. Cold front will eventually make its way through the forecast area overnight, ushering in some cooler temperatures. Lows will fall into the 40s and 50s for most locations. Western upper trof will shift into the Northern Rockies by Saturday morning, and cross the Northern Plains on Sunday. Temperatures across the area this weekend will be much cooler, with highs ranging from the upper 50s over portions of northeast WY and the Black Hills to the low to mid 70s over south central SD. Shortwave energy rotating around the trof will bring additional chances for showers and a few storms, especially Saturday into Saturday night. Overnight lows Saturday night and Sunday night will be on the chilly side, 40s on the plains and some 30s over the Black Hills. Weakening upper trof will move east of the area, with northwest flow in place for the first half of next week. This will keep temps near to slightly below average through the period. The better chances for showers and storms looks to be in the Monday night and Tuesday time frame as a shortwave trof moves across the region. A developing ridge over the West Coast early next week could move east into the Rockies and High Plains late in the week, which would bring warming temps, but also better chances for showers and storms. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS Through 00Z Saturday Evening) Issued At 504 PM MDT Fri Jun 7 2019 Numerous TSRA with IFR conditions will move northeast this evening across the area. Hail and gusty winds will occur with the strongest storms. A sharp cold front will move from northwest to southeast across the area overnight with gusty northwest winds behind it as well as widespread MVFR/IFR CIGS. && .UNR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
