SOUTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA/NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HASTINGS NE 313 PM CDT THU JUN 16 2005 .DISCUSSION... SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS GREW UP THIS MORNING OVER CENTRAL NEBRASKA AS A MCV FROM LAST NIGHTS CONVECTION STALLED OVERHEAD. TROUGHING ALOFT ALSO MAKING A FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR A WIDENING AREA OF SHOWERS WHICH REALLY TOOK OFF THIS AFTERNOON. OVERNIGHT THE RIDGE BUILDS TO THE WEST AND AND A VORTMAX DIVES SOUTH INTO OKLAHOMA. THE IMPACT ON THE FORECAST HAS BEEN TO SUPPRESS SEVERE THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT ACROSS MUCH OF NEBRASKA. THE FOCUS THEN TURNS TO OUR KANSAS COUNTIES. WHERE MID 60 DEW POINTS AND AND TEMPERATURES IN THE MID 80S EXIST. CAPE VALUES OF OVER 3000 J/KG EXIST ACROSS OUR KANSAS COUNTIES. 18Z SOUNDINGS FROM KLBF AND KDDC ARE INTERESTING AND SHOW THE MOST LIKELY AREA FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY ACROSS NORTHWEST AND NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS. WIND PROFILES FAVORABLE FOR TORNADOES...PROBLEM IS THE CAP SO WE WILL NEED TO WAIT PERHAPS ANOTHER HOUR OR MORE BEFORE STORMS FIRE THERE. ACROSS NEBRASKA LOOK FOR THE ACTIVITY TO DIMINISH THIS EVENING FOR ALL EXCEPT FAR SOUTHERN AND SOUTHWEST COUNTIES. FOR FRI...LOW CLOUDS SHOULD ERODE ON S FLOW. BROAD AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE AT THE SFC WILL REMAIN OVER WI/MN. AS SFC LOW OVER MT AND LEE TROUGH INTENSIFIES...PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL INCREASE AND BRING BREEZY CONDITIONS BY LATE IN THE DAY TO WESTERN ZONES. H5 RIDGE AXIS BUILDS IN WITH SUBSIDENCE...AND DRY FCST CONTINUED THROUGH SAT.... ALTHOUGH WITH RESIDUAL MOISTURE IN PLACE...CANNOT RULE OUT SOME STRATUS SAT MORN...ALTHOUGH EASTERN ZONES LOOK TO REMAIN MOSTLY CLEAR WITH BL RH BELOW 70 PERCENT. IN THE EXTENDED...AT H5... UKMET/ECMWF/GFS BUILD RIDGE THROUGH SUN AND MON. 12Z GFS/NAM BRINGS IN THICKNESSES OF 585DAM BY SUN EVENING WHICH SHOULD BRING THE ENTIRE CWA ABOVE 90 FOR DAYTIME HIGHS. H7 TEMPS ABOVE 14C...AND NAM MODEL SOUNDINGS CAP ATM NEAR H8 WITH TEMPS 22-23C. DRY FCST CONTINUES ALTHOUGH CHANCES FOR FROPA INCREASING WITH OOZ/12Z GFS RUNS. SOUTHERN EXTENT OF NORTHERN STREAM SYSTEM QUESTIONABLE...BUT IF FRONT DOES MAKE IT INTO THE CWA LOOKS LIKE MON NIGHT/TUES TIME-FRAME. THIS WOULD BRING CHANCES FOR T...ALTHOUGH GRIDS CURRENTLY LEFT DRY. TEMPS ON MON WILL AGAIN BE ABOVE CLIMO...AND REMAINDER OF EXTENDED DEPENDENT ON STRENGTH OF RIDGE AND INFLUENCE OF FRONT.
