NWS Forecaster Discussion
337 fxus63 kunr 230943 afdunr Area forecast discussion for western South Dakota and northeastern Wyoming National Weather Service Rapid City South Dakota 243 am MST Monday Nov 23 2009 Discussion...09z surface analysis had weak low over the Black Hills with cold front into Colorado and trough into eastern Montana. These features a reflection of upper level trough from Montana into Colorado. One wave over Montana...but main wave starting to take over in southwest Wyoming in response to 90kt jet digging into base of trough. This wave will close off as upper low over Kansas tonight. With main forcing now further south...have tempered probability of precipitation for today/tonight...especially in the south. We/ll see low coverage -shsn today/tonight...with mixed -shra this afternoon. Best chances will be along the far southern borders of the County Warning Area. Temperatures near guidance. Tuesday...transient short wave ridge will bring some sunshine...but next fast moving upper level trough will already be impacting ND/Montana by evening. Moisture/forcing on tail end of wave sufficient for a chance of -shsn Tuesday evening. Breezy spots also as cold front brings cold air advection...especially in the east. Temperatures near guidance. Wednesday...upper trough spins as upper low into Illinois. Upper ridge builds over The Rockies...beginning to affect the County Warning Area. Temperatures near guidance. Extended...an upper level ridge will keep conditions warm and dry through Friday afternoon. Next upper wave moves over the West Coast Friday and starts pushing east this weekend. This will bring cooler temperatures and possibly some precipitation. && Aviation...a few areas of -shra or -shsn will be possible today as an upper level disturbance moves through. Most areas will remain VFR...though some MVFR ceilings may be possible over the Black Hills. && Unr watches/warnings/advisories... South Dakota...none. Wyoming...none. && $$ Helgeson/schild
