.SHORT TERM...(Today through Wednesday Afternoon)
Issued at 330 AM CDT Tue Aug 11 2020

Waa in advance of short wave trough in WY early this morning was
bringing some mid level accas showers/storms in eastern WY. Expect
these to develop east into sd and into central sd this morning.
Otherwise, the main short wave trough in WY will bring the main
round of showers and storms to our cwa later this afternoon and
night. Good ll moisture and instability will continue to advect in
through the day in advance of this short wave trough. The ops models
and hi-res models all indicated shower/storm development this
afternoon and evening. The 0-6km shear will be modest with these
storms mainly in the 30 to 40 knot range. We do have a slight risk
of severe weather mainly west of the Missouri River. With the
good agreement in the models, increased pops across the region
through tonight. This first round of convection will end Wednesday
morning with more development possible in the afternoon with
another short wave trough coming in from the southwest. Highs
today and Wednesday will be similar with partly cloudy skies
overall. Highs will be mainly in the 80s and lower 90s.

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday Evening through Monday)
Issued at 330 AM CDT Tue Aug 11 2020

The first half of the extended period looks rather active with
several chances for showers and thunderstorms. Disturbances move
across the northern plains, with surface boundaries situated over
parts of the region as well. Returning low-level moisture will bring
added instability and thus bringing potential for strong to severe
storms also. It does appear that towards Day 5, northwest flow aloft
may be established and bring a return to dry conditions for a few
days at least.

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Wednesday Afternoon)
Issued at 1231 PM CDT Tue Aug 11 2020

Terminals KABR,KATY,KPIR,KMBG

The biggest question in regards to aviation weather through the
TAF period is in regard to thunderstorm potential this afternoon
and overnight. It is expected that thunderstorms, some potentially
severe, will develop sometime this afternoon or early evening and
progress across the region in a west to east direction. Exact
timing and location for thunderstorm development is always
difficult. Overall, VFR ceilings and visibilities are expected,
although KATY may see MVFR ceilings Wednesday morning. Of course,
the potential for lowered ceilings, reduced visibilities, and
erratic winds are possible while thunderstorms are ongoing.

***Construction to improve taxiways at both KABR/KPIR terminals
may cause an occasional temporary visibility reduction due
to blowing dust (bldu), mainly during daytime hours UFN.
