M-Weekend Forecast Cont.

Here's a look at the current situation... We've got a warm front pushing up from the south and thunderstorms are expected behind it. The Storm Prediction Center even has a "Mesoscale Discussion" out about it:
^ This is the MD, they usually put these out for regions of severe weather and for heavy rainfall, to view the entire explanation of this MD, go here. Basically this one says that some severe weather is possible here, they are mainly concerned about hail and wind gusts. As these fronts slowly move East, they are going to bring a lot of rain across the state... Here's just an estimate for the end of Memorial Monday:

I guess it's a good thing we aren't in North Dakota or it'd be a washout, but we're still going to see some larger rain totals as well. A half inch to an inch in 24 hours, some places could see localized minor flooding as some of these thunderstorms pass by. Looks like Pierre could see around an inch, Aberdeen 1-1.5 inches with lighter amounts surrounding.

Looks to be a dry day for the SE, we could see a few varied popcorn thunderstorms with the daytime heating as temperatures are going to be warmer than they were today as the warm front pushes north.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend!
