Quincy Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 This time frame has been tracked for a while and although some of the more amplified model solutions from last week have faded, several severe weather threats should unfold in the coming days. The pattern looks fairly zonal through the third quarter of June. A building ridge to the south will result in a jet steam across the northern tier of the country to southern Canada. This is not any surprise, especially since this season as a whole has behaved fairly well with respect to climo. The setup looks to include several high CAPE days with strong to locally extreme instability possible. Increased flow in the upper levels should be accompanied by several ripples and weak disturbances pinwheeling from the northern Plains to the upper Midwest. Threats begin as far west as eastern Montana on Thursday the 18th and should focus predominantly on the Dakotas, portions of Nebraska and possibly as far east as Iowa/Minnesota. Although some of the details continue to evolve on the models, the general model consensus supports at some some severe thunderstorm potential for virtually every day in the period through the 22nd. Pros: Strong instability, increased upper level flow, good wind shear - particularly directional. Cons: Capping and convective inhibition will probably limit the threat to relatively small areas on most of these days, timing is a bit off - such that some of the threats may not ramp up until after peak heating and limited overlap of best instability with more favorable speed shear. While no larger-scale or particularly significant event is expected, I would think all or at least most of these days should at least become SLGT risks with all severe weather hazards possible. Large to very large hail may be the biggest threat, followed by continued wind/MCS threats. A few tornadoes appear probable too. In the end, mesoscale features, particularly outflow boundaries, should narrow the focus as setups approach. Edit: Any discussion pertaining to the western Great Lakes threat on Monday the 22nd should be directed to the Lakes/Ohio Valley subforum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 NAM soundings on Sharppy show that Aberdeen, South Dakota maxes out at an SCP value of 20, and and STP value of 3 on Friday night. In any case, June days on the Plains with 55kts of shear with dew points in the low 70's are generally pretty dangerous. (SREF shows 55 knots of shear at the North Dakota/South Dakota border on Friday.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any case, June days on the Plains with 55kts of shear with dew points in the low 70's are generally pretty dangerous. (SREF shows 55 knots of shear at the North Dakota/South Dakota border on Friday.)Friday has some significant severe potential, even though the cap may be tough to bust until late afternoon or more likely early evening. SPC used some stronger wording in their latest day 2 update, mentioning a possible derecho and that they may upgrade to moderate risk in later outlooks. As mentioned, strong instability is still projected to overlap with 45-55+ knots of bulk shear by 00z SAT over much of South Dakota, creating a relatively volatile environment. The kinematic forcing and resultant severe indices really light up at night, highlighting the very strong wind potential as storms quickly grow upscale.

andyhb Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 00z SPC WRF brings a strong derecho across SD tomorrow evening/overnight, looks like some initial supercells INVOF the Black Hills and westward as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quincy Posted June 19, 2015 Author Share Posted June 19, 2015 We could very well be looking at a setup for a derecho late Friday night into Saturday morning, particularly across South Dakota. At the very least, probably an intense MCS with fairly widespread damaging winds. Capping during the day should really keep warm sector storm development to a minimum. Wouldn't be surprised if nothing really fires at all through 00z Saturday outside of Montana and the far western Dakotas. With little to disruption of daytime heating, there should be strong instability in place over western to central South Dakota, likely 3000+ J/kg MUCAPE into early Saturday evening. The NAM is likely a bit overdone with a sizable area of 4000+ J/kg MUCAPE. Even the GFS is on the order of 2500+ J/kg. As storms do eventually fire in eastern Montana and shift eastward, they should move into an increasingly volatile kinematic environment. The 850mb jet is forecast to increase to 50-60+ knots in northern Nebraska and advect into central South Dakota in the overnight. The GFS and NAM are in good agreement with the placement and strength of the LLJ progs. As storms merge and develop upscale, they'll have more than ample MUCAPE and moderate shear to sustain an MCS/derecho. The NAM forecast sounding for 05z SAT at PIR has 3312 J/kg MUCAPE with 57kts of effective shear. The 0-6km mean wind is 38kts. It appears that support is there both kinematically and instability-wise, with moderate to strong elevated CAPE continuing downstream into early Saturday morning. Just saw the SPC update and they held back without ramping up the probabilities really from the previous outlook. Can't say that's a bad idea, as there are multiple updates to see how the short-term environment is trending. The NAM hasn't been so hot with MCS development/placement lately, so the HRRR will be critical once it gets into range. I could post a ton of graphics, but won't get carried away. FWIW, the 21z SREF derecho probabilities (I haven't really analyzed this index to see how it performs - we know the sig tor ingredients one is flawed and not all that reliable) increase to AOA 50% for about half of South Dakota by 06z SAT.

jojo762 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 HRRR has some rather potent looking supercells in W SD later on today. 15Z HRRR verbatim showed a pair of isolated supercells in W SD with impressive 2-5KM UH tracks approaching 200m2/s2... Very impressive environment will be in place, very supportive of all facets of SVR. HRRR shows 3000J/KG SBCAPE juxtaposed to 60-80kts of 0-6KM Shear.. Seems to be over doing the wind profile, with all other high-res guidance showing 50-60kts... Also, Forecast soundings from the HRRR/4KNAM/12KNAM across W/C SD show very impressive directional shear in place, and consequently ellongated curved hodographs, seems like any isolated cell would produce tornadoes just basing off of the veering wind profile and strong thermodynamic profile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 There have been some storms that have stalled in central South Dakota, and produced 2-4" of rain, and one instance of 2" hail.

jojo762 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Special 18Z KRAP sounding.. pretty meh except for the 2500+ J/KG MUCAPE and 50+ kt 0-6KM SHR. Looks like mixing is a problem, but surface moisture should only continue to increase I believe.. Doesn't matter much anyways since KRAP is a tad south of the main threat area, which currently has DP's in the upper sixties. Seems as though this severe cluster/MCS and the associated cloud cover over central SD could prevent a more long-lived eastward progression of the MCS later tonight, and this is supported by the 18Z RAP which shows a general weakness in instability across this area later on tonight around the time the complex would be moving through. Also FWIW, the 18Z HRRR continues to show isolated supercells developing over NE WY/SW SD this evening... Which has also gained support from the 4KM NAM which shows an intense lone ranger moving across the area with a strong 0-1KM UH track approaching 300m2/s2.

Quincy Posted June 19, 2015 Author Share Posted June 19, 2015 HRRR is grossly over-estimating convection across eastern Wyoming already. Barely anything on satellite, except for up near the Montana border. We'll see how long capping wins out and if it's detrimental to initiation or beneficial by keeping any few cells mainly discrete. Not bad to see dew-points up to 70 at Philip. Very favorable shear to advect east and we'll pump up the LLJ from fhe south later on. I think western South Dakota has a narrow window around to shortly after 00z, but if a storm stays isolated, a strong tornado wouldn't surprise me. Climo has very few sig tors that far northwest, but at the same time it's a high-end environment compared to past tornado events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Climo has very few sig tors that far northwest, but at the same time it's a high-end environment compared to past tornado events. One reasoning for the lack of archived sig tors could deal with the sparsity of population/buildings in the area as well. To get Sig Tor in climo you need buildings to hit.

jojo762 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 VWP from KUDX is very impressive, no wonder this storm is a beast. EDIT: Also per mesoanalysis the long-lived tornadic supercell over Meade and Pennington counties will move into an increasing favorable environment for low-level mesocyclones it seems. Recent VWP samplings from KUDX show impressive veering with height and strong backed LLVL shear, SPC mesoanalysis shows 0-1KM shear values 25-35kts and increasing, effective shear of 70kts and CAPE values of 3000-4000J/KG all downstream and with the relatively slow cooling of the boundary layer, the tornado threat could persist for several more hours, pending the continue discrete/ semi-discrete nature of the supercell.
