Area Forecast Discussion For Western SD and Northeastern WY National Weather Service Rapid City SD 528 PM MDT Sun Jul 10 2022 .DISCUSSION...(This Evening Through Sunday) Issued at 206 PM MDT Sun Jul 10 2022 19z surface analysis had low over far northeast SD with cold front south of the CWA into southern WY. Breezy northwest winds in place as direr air pushes into the CWA. Water vapour matinee had next shortwave of interest spinning over western MT, which is embedded in upper trough from SK to ID. Tonight, shortwave trough zips across the CONUS/Canadian border. It will drag a secondary cold front through the CWA overnight with a period of gusty northwest winds behind it, approaching advisory criteria in the squeeze zone just east of the Black Hills given forecast 3-5mb/3hr pressure rises and 35-40kt boundary layer flow. Ahead of the front, 500-1000J/kg MUCAPE painted with 40-60kt 0-6km bulk shear. Current timing suggests first potential convection could reach CWA by 7-9pm ahead of shortwave trough. Thermodynamics marginal, but kinematics well-defined. Isolated strong/severe storms may develop. Along/behind cold front, 800-600mb frontogenesis combined with synoptic lift will support a band of SHRA/TS overnight. Temperatures will be near guidance. Monday, early morning precipitation ends with a pleasant/normal summer day expected. Tuesday through next weekend, an upper level ridge will dominate the central CONUS. Can't rule out a ridge rider bringing small chances for TSRA, but activity will be very limited. Dry and hot weather most of the time with elevated fire weather conditions. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS Through 00Z Monday Evening) Issued At 528 PM MDT Sun Jul 10 2022 VFR conditions are expected to continue through at least the early evening hours. An upper level disturbance and a secondary cold front will move through the area, mostly during the nighttime and early morning hours. Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop and track across most of the area. A few storms could be strong to severe with hail and gusty winds later this evening into the overnight. Brief and localized MVFR conditions are possible. VFR conditions and breezy north to northwest winds are expected later Monday morning and afternoon. && .UNR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... SD...None. WY...None. && DISCUSSION...Helgeson AVIATION...26
