.UPDATE...
Issued at 623 PM CDT Tue Jul 7 2020

No major changes planned to the current forecast this evening.
Showers and thunderstorms are moving into southwest SD but are
having trouble as they try to push out of the hills. Still expect
some development over the next few hours.

.SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Wednesday Night)
Issued at 226 PM CDT Tue Jul 7 2020

Rain chances and possible svr weather are the main issues in the
short range. Upper level energy currently moving through the Pacific
NW will eject north into SC Canada through tonight, with a sfc
boundary heading east across the CWA. A sfc wave is expected to form
near the Black Hills toward evening, and then move northeast toward
central ND overnight. Aloft a pretty stout EML is expected to advect
northeast over the CWA, with H7 temps nearing +12C or greater. This
EML could provide for a decent cap across the region. Latest CAMS
seem to be leaning in this direction, with them only forming
isolated convection overnight, and mainly out ahead of the advancing
sfc wave over the northern part of SD. Meanwhile, ensemble CAM data
indicates that W ND and perhaps even NW SD will see the most
favorable deep layer shear as wave moves over that area tonight. For
Wednesday the sfc boundary slides east into the I29 corridor by late
afternoon. Thus expect most of the convection Wednesday
afternoon/evening to be over in that area. Deep layer shear looks
pretty good Wed aftn/eve, but LL shear is fairly weak with not much
of a LLJ expected into the evening. Still, some severe storms remain
possible along the SD/MN border area where moderate to strong
instability is progged per MLCAPE values climbing above 3k J/kg with
diabatic heating. Lastly, model blend temperatures look appropriate
through Wednesday.

.LONG TERM...(Thursday through Tuesday)
Issued at 226 PM CDT Tue Jul 7 2020

At 12z Thursday, there will be zonal flow aloft across the High
Plains along with an associated lee of the Rockies sfc low/trough, a
broad/low amplitude and stagnant upper-level ridge across the
Southwestern and South Central US, a few progressive shortwaves
across the far Northern US/Southern Canada, and upper-level
diffluence across the Upper Midwest. This upper-level atmospheric
arrangement will remain largely unchanged until the weekend, when an
amplification of the ridge is forecast. The implication for our CWA
is near normal sfc temperatures until Sunday (above average Sun-
Mon), a steady northward flow and eventual pooling of Gulf moisture
thus muggy conditions, and occasional thunderstorm chances. Given
the generally favorable instability/shear conditions inherent to
this pattern, thunderstorms would have the opportunity to become
strong to severe at times (the CIPS analog-based severe probability
guidance seems in-line with this idea as well with some elevated
percentages). As for timing of the shortwaves, which will be
providing the forcing for ascent/support for convection, long-range
models point towards Friday evening and again early next week. Will
need more time for refinement of the details.
