AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTH PLATTE NE 253 PM CDT THU JUL 13 2006 .DISCUSSION... CONVECTION OCCURRING ALONG BOUNDARY JUST OFF THE SURFACE OVER EASTERN NEB ALSO ON THE EDGE OF UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT MOVING ACROSS THE NRN PLAINS. SFC MOISTURE CONVERGENCE STARTING TO WANE WITH THIS FEATURE AS THE UPPER SYSTEM MOVES OUT AHEAD OF SFC/NEAR SFC FEATURE. SOME ENHANCED CONVERGENCE SHOWING UP VIA MSAS FURTHER W ALONG THE SFC FRONT LOCATED FROM SERN HOLT COUNTY TO STAPLETON TO NEAR LBF AND IML. PRESSURES ARE LOWERING ACROSS SWRN NEB ACCORDING TO LAPS/MSAS AND WITH TCU FORMING IN NRN CO AND SWRN SD...AM HAVING A TOUGH TIME REMOVING ALL POPS DUE TO POSITION OF SFC FEATURE ACROSS THE SRN CWA...AND REMAINING FRONT FURTHER WEST AND INDICATION OF A WEAK FEATURE ALOFT IN MID LEVEL PROFILER DATA. SO WILL GO WITH ISO TRW IN SERN 1/2 OF CWA THROUGH MIDNIGHT. HAVE ALSO TRENDED MIN TEMPS A BIT LOWER DUE TO LOWER DEW POINTS ACROSS THE AREA. BUILDING OF UPPER RIDGE COMMENCES AS ADVERTISED FRIDAY AS SFC WINDS BECOME SRLY ACROSS WRN CWA. STRONG SUBSIDENCE INDICATED ACROSS THE SWRN US ON WATER VAPOR IMAGERY THIS AFTERNOON...AND IS PROGGED TO STRENGTHEN AND BUILD EWD OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. ZONAL FLOW WILL BE IN PLACE ACROSS THE NRN PLAINS THEREFORE WOULDNT EXPECT ANY DECENT LARGE SCALE FORCING TO TOP THE BUILDING RIDGE...AND PLENTY OF SUNSHINE AND LACK OF DEEP MOISTURE WILL ALLOW ATMOSPHERE TO WARM EASILY. SEE NO REASON TO STRAY FAR FROM WARMER MET GUIDANCE AS LOCAL STUDIES HERE HAVE SHOWN TEMPS TO BE IN THAT RANGE WHEN THICKNESS VALUES APPROACH THOSE FCSTD. THANKS TO THE 1930S...RECORDS WILL BE TOUGH TO BREAK DESPITE THE HOT TEMPS IN THE FCST. WEAK FRONT PROGGED TO ATTEMPT TO BREAK DOWN THE RIDGE A BIT ON SUNDAY...BUT DONT BELIEVE IT WILL MAKE IT AS FAR AS NAM SUGGESTS. IF IT DOES... CONVECTION COULD BE POSSIBLE...BUT CONFIDENCE IS LOW.
