CENTRAL NEBRASKA/NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HASTINGS NE 235 PM CDT WED JUN 25 1997 ...FORECAST IS TIMING AND CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION IN CWA... CURRENT 1ST FRONTAL BOUNDARY SOUTH INTO KANSAS WITH APPEARANT SECOND BOUNDARY OF DRYER AIR AND NORTHEAST FLOW INTO NORTHEAST NEBRASKA. KUEX RADAR PPINE BUT KLNX HAS PLENTY OF ACTIVITY...WITH THE STUFF AROUND VTN ASSOCIATED WITH RIGHT REAR OF JET STREAK LIFTING NORTHEAST. OTHER THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING FROM OGA TO WEST. THIS COULD WORK INTO WRN AREAS BUT ADAP HAS CAPPED ENVIRONMENT AND LIMITED LIFT IN OUR CWA. FAIRLY FLAT CU A TESTIMENT TO THAT. ETA REALLY GOES AFTER SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA AREA FOR STRONG LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE AND UPPER DIVERGENCE AT 18HRS. NGM LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE PROGS PINPOINT THIS AREA AS WELL. QUESTION REMAINS WILL THIS WORK AT ALL EAST. FEEL WITH FORECAST OF BUILDING SURFACE HIGH INTO EASTERN NEBRAKSA WE SHOULD BE DRY TONIGHT. ONLY THE FAR WESTERN NEBRASKA/KANSAS COULD CATCH A LATE NIGHT SHOWER/STORM. BOTH THE NGM/ETA FORECAST SOUNDINGS DEPICT PRECIPITATION THURSDAY WITH LINGERING FRONT RANGE CONVECTION AND STRONG RETURN WARM ADVECTION FLOW. DO FEEL MID DECK CLOUD COVER WILL MOVE ACROSS NRN CWA TOMORROW AND LIMIT SUNSHINE. SLIGHT CHANCE FOR SPRINKLES/STORM TO GO ALONG IT TO AND HAVE INCLUDED IN CCF. WILL LIKELY INCLUDE SLIGHT CHANCE POPS TONIGHT IN TWO WESTERN KANSAS ZONES. INTO FRIDAY...TROF OF LOW PRESSURE FORECAST TO MOVE EAST WITH NICE SOUTHERLY FLOW AHEAD OF IT. SOME MOISTURE CONVERGENCE ALONG THIS TROF BUT NGM MOVES WAVE INTO EASTERN NEBRASKA. SMALL POPS NOT OUT OF QUESTION IN FAR WESTERN NEBRASKA CWA. OTHERWISE WARMER AND BREEZY WEATHER ANTICIPATED. SPLIT THE DIFFERENCE ON GUIDANCE NUMBERS FOR MOST OF THIS FORECAST.
