.DISCUSSION...(Today Through Thursday)
Issued at 104 AM MST Fri Feb 7 2025
Upper-level flow is fairly zonal across the CONUS. A
very weak shortwave is evident on WV, and the system responsible for
much of today and tonight`s snow is moving ashore over northern CA.
At the surface, high pressure stretches across the Dakotas,
resulting in light easterly winds over the CWA. Skies are cloudy,
and radar shows some snow over parts of western SD. Temps are in
the teens and 20s.
A brief break in snow is expected this morning between the exiting
weak shortwave and the incoming upper trough. This afternoon and
evening, PVA and upper divergence will move over 650-750 mb
frontogenesis, helping produce a band of snow across NW SD. However,
the frontogenesis will be short-lived, and the upper wave will move
quickly, which will limit snow totals. Deterministic models and
ensembles have continued the downward trend in snowfall amounts. Two
to four inches will still be possible across northwestern SD, but
would not be surprised if the southern tier of the advisory will be
canceled early, depending on how the system evolves today. With
winds of only 15-25 mph, not expecting blowing snow to be much of an
issue.
The system moves out quickly Saturday morning, with skies clearing.
However, cold airmass behind the low will result in highs Saturday
only in the teens and lower 20s. Temperatures will moderate a bit
for Sunday. However, another arctic cold front will drop into SD
Monday, bringing highs down to the single digits and teens for early
next week. Some light snow could accompany the front on Monday. Cold
weather with occasional light snow is expected into next weekend.
&&
.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS Through 06Z Friday Night)
Issued At 950 PM MST Thu Feb 6 2025
Conditions are expected to deteriorate across northeast Wyoming
into far western South Dakota tonight. Light snow and MVFR to
local IFR conditions will begin to spread into the area from the
southwest, with light snow and falling ceilings expected at KGCC
and KRAP around 08Z. Further deterioration to IFR and LIFR
conditions is expected after 10Z Friday morning as the snow
becomes more widespread. These conditions will persist through
Friday afternoon.
