.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 105 PM CDT Sun Jun 7 2026

A wind advisory remains in effect for portions of north central SD
this afternoon. With only a 12 mb pressure gradient over the state
and no cold air advection, the advisory is marginal at best with the
usual channeled or elevated spots seeing occasional gusts over 45
mph.

A weak sfc low/cold front will move east across SD late tonight
through Monday morning. The best shortwave energy/jet streak has
slowed its eastward progress through SD on the latest model runs,
robbing the sfc front of some of its potential energy. Although the
outlooks from SPC haven`t changed markedly in the latest updates,
the highest potential for storms appears to hardly move out of
northwest SD into central SD until between 3z and 6z. And, much of
that activity may stay centered over south central ND. Anything that
trails into north central SD overnight, though, could still produce
wind gusts to 70 mph and/or some large hail around an inch.

The sfc low weakens and dissipates Monday morning over eastern SD.
This timing will leave areas east of the Coteau in southerly flow
most of Monday. The higher dewpoints and temperatures on the
southerly flow could lead to some thunderstorm development in the
afternoon. There is a marginal risk for the area, accordingly,
though spatial extent for storms differs depending on the model and
where they weaken that front. Lowered high temps for Monday west of
the front by blending in 50% ConsShort with the NBM. The hi-res are
more progressive with the cooler temps than the NBM.

Tuesday warms back up with a return of southeast flow and more
humidity. Areas south of Hwy 14 could approach "feels-like" temps of
around 100 degrees. The upper trough that teases the region tonight
will move a touch farther east Tuesday. Shortwave energy will eject
into SD on the eastern edge of the trough by 21z and the jet will
increase. Sfc low pressure moves through ND Tuesday evening from
west to east with a trailing cold front. There is an Enhanced Risk
(3 out of 5) for Tuesday across portions of north central SD where
all hazards will be in play.
