AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTH PLATTE NE
340 PM CDT FRI AUG 10 2007

.SYNOPSIS...
    AT 19Z...HAND ANALYSIS OF THE SURFACE DATA SHOWED A DRY LINE
ACROSS EASTERN COLORADO AND ANOTHER EAST-WEST ORIENTED WIND SHIFT
BOUNDARY ACROSS NORTHEAST TO NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA. VISIBLE
SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWED SIGNIFICANT CUMULUS DEVELOPMENT IN
NORTHEAST AND NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA. A SPECIAL 18Z SOUNDING AT
NORTH PLATTE SHOWED STRONG INSTABILITY. WITH A SURFACE TEMPERATURE
AT 98F...THE CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL SHOULD APPROACH OR SURPASS
5000J/KG. AS A RESULT...SEVERE STORMS MAY DEVELOP ALONG THE SURFACE
BOUNDARIES. SATELLITE DERIVED IMAGERY AT 18Z INDICATED THAT THE
25-35MM PRECIPITABLE WATER PLUME HAD MADE ITS WAY TO ABOUT MERRIMAN
AND SIDNEY.
&&

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT.
    WITH INSTABILITY AND MOISTURE IN PLACE...IT APPEARS THAT
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP ALONG AND SOUTH AND EAST OF THE
BOUNDARIES DISCUSSED ABOVE. THAT WOULD PUT THEM OVER MOST OF WESTERN
AND NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA. A FEW SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS MAY BE
POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY ALONG AND EAST OF HIGHWAY 83.     AROUND
MIDDAY SATURDAY...THE SURFACE FRONT MOVES THROUGH AND STALLS NEAR
THE KANSAS-NEBRASKA BORDER. THE BOUNDARY LAYER MIXING RATIO
INDICATES THAT MOISTURE SHOULD POOL ALONG THE SURFACE BOUNDARY BY
EARLY SUNDAY.
    BY SUNDAY EVENING...THE SURFACE FRONT MOVES BACK UP INTO CENTRAL
AND WESTERN NEBRASKA OR CONTINUES STALLED ALONG THE KANSAS-NEBRASKA
BORDER. IN BOTH SCENARIOS... BOUNDARY LAYER DEWPOINTS INDICATE
MASSIVE MOISTURE POOLING ALONG THE BOUNDARY. THAT WOULD WARRANT THE
INTRODUCTION OF AT SOME CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS IN WESTERN AND NORTH
CENTRAL NEBRASKA. THERE IS SOME UNCERTAINTY CONCERNING THE POSITION
OF THE SURFACE BOUNDARY. AT THIS TIME...THE UNCERTAINTY SPANS ABOUT
100 MILES. AS A RESULT...WE WILL KEEP THE PROBABILITY LOW FOR SUNDAY
NIGHT.
&&

.LONG TERM...MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.
    BY LATE MONDAY MORNING...THE DRY LINE PUSHES INTO NORTHWEST
NEBRASKA...BUT RETREATS AGAIN BY MONDAY EVENING. THE SURFACE FRONT
THEN LINES UP JUST SOUTH OF THE SOUTH DAKOTA BORDER. THIS AGAIN
LEAVES A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY
NIGHT.
    THE NEXT CHANCE THEN APPEARS TO BE FRIDAY ALONG THE DRY LINE IN
THE PANHANDLE AND NORTHWEST NEBRASKA.
    THE SURGE OF THE DRY LINE INTO WESTERN NEBRASKA MONDAY WILL
ALLOW TEMPERATURES IN WESTERN NEBRASKA TO EQUAL OR EXCEED 100. THEN
THE PRESENCE OF THE SURFACE FRONT AND ITS ASSOCIATED HIGHER
DEWPOINTS...CLOUDINESS AND PRECIPITATION WILL BRING MODERATION OF
THE TEMPERATURES TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.
&&

.AVIATION...
    VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD PREVAIL OVER A MAJORITY OF THE TWEB ROUTES
THROUGH THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. ISOLATED TO SCATTERED CONVECTION
MAY CREATE AREAS OF MFVR TO IFR CONDITIONS...MAINLY DUE TO HEAVY
RAINFALL...AND LIGHT AIRCRAFT SHOULD AVOID THESE CELLS. LIGHT FOG
MAY ALSO BE POSSIBLE OVER THE LARGER RIVER VALLEYS AND AREAS THAT
RECEIVE HEAVIER RAINFALL...LEADING TO MVFR CONDITIONS WITH VSBY OF 2
TO 5 MILES EXPECTED.
&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
    HOT...DRY CONDITIONS OVER WESTERN NEBRASKA COMBINED WITH
THUNDERSTORMS CONTAINING LITTLE PRECIPITATION AND STRONG GUSTY WINDS
SHOULD CONTINUE THE EXTREME FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS THROUGH MID
EVENING AND RFW WILL BE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE TO EXPIRATION. A COLD
FRONT WILL ALSO APPROACH THE PINE RIDGE AREA EARLY THIS MORING AND
BE A FOCUS FOR A WIND SHIFT FROM SOUTHEAST TO THE NORTHWEST. ANY
ACTIVE FIRE AREAS SHOULD BE MONITORED FOR THIS EVENT.
&&

.LBF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...RED FLAG WARNING FIRE ZONE 204
UNTIL 9 PM MDT.
