375 FXUS63 KABR 102148 AFDABR Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Aberdeen SD 348 PM CST Mon Nov 10 2025 .KEY MESSAGES... - Gusty downsloping winds along the eastern slopes of the Coteau tonight into the overnight, with gusts of 35-45 mph with potentially locally higher gusts. - Above normal temperatures return for the Tuesday - Friday timeframe. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 347 PM CST Mon Nov 10 2025 The main focus tonight into tomorrow will be on an incoming warmer air mass and associated gusty winds that. A warm front, currently draped north to south across the western Dakotas will shift eastward across the forecast area this evening into the early overnight. A warm air advection pattern kicks in on a southwest to west wind component which should stop any fall in temperature readings late this evening and early overnight. We`ll likely see temperatures fall into the 20s to low 30s this evening after sunset and then steady out or slowly rise overnight. This set up will also be favorable for a downsloping wind event this evening into the early overnight across northeast SD. Anticipate winds will increase around 01Z this evening and persist to around 08-09Z Tuesday morning. Short term hi- res guidance/CAMs have latched onto some higher wind values from previous runs. Wind gusts will range from 35-45 mph with the potentially locally higher gusts than that. This event should not be impactful with the exception of the typical high profile vehicle impacts that strong winds pose a threat to. A cold front is progged to quickly sweep through the forecast area early Tuesday morning on the heels of the warm front. Winds turn west to northwesterly with another day of breezy conditions expected Tuesday. The air mass behind the cold front is not much cooler than what will be in place tonight, so expecting a warm day on Tuesday with highs in the upper 40s to low 50s east to mid to upper 50 across central SD. Ridging at the sfc and aloft will take hold Wednesday through the end of the work week. This will begin a stretch of warmer than normal temperatures and continued dry conditions. 850 temperatures are progged to be 1-2 standard deviations above climo during this stretch with the core of the warmest set to arrive late Thursday through Friday. Could potentially see widespread daytime temperature readings in the 60s on Friday. We`ll also likely be picking up on some healthy southerly winds later this week and with the warm and dry trend expected, we will have to watch for elevated fire weather conditions. The end of the period continues to remain a bit more murky. Models do prog an upper trough to shift across the northern tier in a split flow upper pattern with a cutoff type low tracking across the central and southern CONUS. This could provide our area with our next best chances for moisture. Continued to advertise the inherited broad brushed ensemble generated PoPs for Saturday into Sunday. && .AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z TUESDAY/...

Anticipate the low stratus will linger for the next hour or two. The IFR cigs gradually becoming MVFR to eventually VFR closer to mid afternoon. South to southwest winds will gust to 20-25 knots this afternoon at all four terminals. Low level wind shear develops late this evening and persists through the early morning hours of Tuesday as a frontal system moves through the region and winds aloft increase. && .ABR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
