767 FXUS63 KABR 081827 AFDABR Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Aberdeen SD 127 PM CDT Mon Jun 8 2026 .KEY MESSAGES... - There is a Marginal Risk (Level 1/5) for isolated severe storms this afternoon through tonight along and east of a line from Sisseton to Huron. Main threats include hail, quarter inch in diameter, and 60 mph winds. - There is an Enhanced Risk (Level 3/5) for severe storms for central and northeastern SD into west central MN Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday morning. Main threats include tornadoes, large to very large hail (2+ inches in diameter) and wind gusts of 70+ mph. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 125 PM CDT Mon Jun 8 2026 A few showers and thunderstorms continue to develop and quickly weaken in west central MN this afternoon. They are all forming on the warm side of a weak frontal boundary/sfc trough that is draped from Milbank to Mitchell. There is a marginal risk for severe storms in this area with increasing shear after 21z. 1 inch hail will be the main threat from any stronger storms. All attention is really focused on the impending severe weather Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday morning as a stronger cold front moves through from west to east. The sfc front will be aided by ample shortwave activity ejecting out of the broad upper trough over the Rockies with an increasing jet in the evening. There is an enhanced risk (3 of 5) over most of the region on Tuesday with all hazards possible, including an isolated tornado or two, especially near the SD/ND border. However, the set up seems most favorable for a line or MCS with very strong winds over 70 mph. Temperatures cool markedly behind Tuesday`s system with highs Wednesday through early next week in the 70s to lower 80s. && .AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z TUESDAY/...
