NWS Forecaster Discussion
902 fxus63 kunr 130902 afdunr Area forecast discussion for western South Dakota and northeastern Wyoming National Weather Service Rapid City South Dakota 300 am MDT Monday Oct 13 2008 Discussion...current surface analysis has low pressure over southeast mb...with trailing cold front well east of the area. Upper level analysis shows large trough over The Rockies region and the Western Plains. The trough is splitting...with main northern low moving northeastward into ND and southern Canada...while southern branch is beginning to break off across the southern Great Basin. Skies remain mostly cloudy at most locations with temperatures primarily in the 20s and 30s...some teens noted across snow covered areas of northeast Wyoming. A chilly start to the week is on tap...with a warming trend back to near average temperatures by the middle of the week. Warming will be much more gradual across snowcovered areas...especially northeast Wyoming. Dry weather should be the rule for the most part as flow aloft becomes zonal in nature after exiting system today. Changes to the going forecast through Wednesday will be rather subtle. For today...skies will be variably cloudy...with the most sunshine across southern and western areas. Some patchy fog is possible across far northeast Wyoming and possibly far northwest South Dakota early this morning. Have kept some isolated snow showers in the forecast for far northwest South Dakota this morning...but it looks like the bulk of leftover activity will be north of the area. Highs today will range from the middle to upper 30s across much of northeast Wyoming to the lower 50s well south and east of the hills. Brisk northwest winds can be expected across northwest South Dakota during the peak heating of the day as low pressure continue to move away from the region. Skies will generally clear out tonight as temperatures drop into the 20s and 30s. Will see highs mostly in the 50s on Tuesday...40s over northeast Wyoming. Weak shortwave energy will move east across the region later Tuesday through Wednesday...bringing some cloudiness... but lack of low level moisture and significant lift should keep area dry. Will keep a low chance pop for far northwest South Dakota Wednesday night as potential daytime showers over Montana may hang on into the western Dakotas overnight. Extended...on Thursday short wave will move through zonal flow across ND/ central South Dakota and bring low chance probability of precipitation of a few showers to central South Dakota. Weak upper ridge will then dominate weather for Friday and Saturday. Another short wave forecast to move across northern portions of northern plains on Sunday and may bring a few showers to northwestern South Dakota and portions of northestern Wyoming. Temperatures through the period will be near seasonal normals. && Aviation...some MVFR ceilings are expected through 14z as large storm system pulls away...VFR conds are expected after 14z. Leftover low level moisture and decreasing dew point depressions will allow some IFR conds due to low clouds/br to develop through 12z. && Unr watches/warnings/advisories... South Dakota...none. Wyoming...none. && $$
