Area forecast discussion, Aug 7, 3:52 PM CDT, 31 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE OMAHA/VALLEY NE 352 PM CDT TUE AUG 7 2007 .DISCUSSION... THE EARLY PARTS OF THE FORECAST ARE DEPENDENT ON MESOSCALE DETAILS OF FRONTAL AND OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES...AND POSITIONS OF WEAK SHORT WAVES RIDING ACROSS OUR AREA AT THE EDGE OF THE UPPER RIDGE. THIS IS NOT A HIGH CONFIDENCE SITUATION. IT APPEARS THAT SCT TSTMS WILL CONTINUE THIS EVE AND EARLY TONIGHT MAINLY TO THE SOUTH OF WEAKENING MCV TRACKING OUT OF NORTHEAST NEB. AGREE WITH SPC THAT FRONTAL BOUNDARY JUST S OF FNB HAS POTENTIAL TO ERUPT INTO SVR MULTICELLS...BUT HAS NOT SHOWN MUCH INDICATION OF SERIOUSLY BREAKING CAP TO THIS POINT. LATE TONIGHT EXPECT THE AREA TO COME UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF NEXT SHORT WAVE CURRENTLY MOVING NORTHEAST FROM NM INTO CO. AREA WILL REMAIN IN SUBTROP MOIST AXIS NORTH OF THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY THROUGH TOMORROW...BUT IT APPEARS THAT DIURNAL TIMING OF THE NEXT WAVE WILL NOT ESPECIALLY FAVOR HEAVY RAIN. LLJ MAY HELP CONVECTION AS IT ENTERS AREA LATE TNGT...BUT UNCERTAIN THAT IT WILL BE AS STRONG AS DEPICTED BY NAM...WHICH HAS BEEN HAVING TROUBLE PLACING SYSTEMS. DECIDED NOT TO ISSUE FLASH FLOOD WATCH AS ONLY A FEW COUNTIES HAVE RECENTLY RECEIVED ENOUGH RAIN TO BE VERY SUSCEPTABLE. INSTEAD...THINK BEST CHC PRECIP WILL BE DURING THE DAY WED...KEEPING CLOUDS OVER MOST OF THE AREA AND TEMPS DOWN FOR ONE MORE DAY. ACTIVITY COULD LAST INTO WED NIGHT...ESPCEIALLY IF ANOTHER WAVE MATERIALIZES IN SW FLOW ALOFT. AFTER THAT...RIDGE WILL BE BUILDING ALOFT AND WARMER MID LEVEL TEMPS WILL MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR ORGANIZED PRECIP TO DEVELOP. AREA WILL STILL BE IN WEAK OUTFLOW FROM SFC HIGH TO OUR NORTHEAST ON THU. HOWEVER...EXPECT CAPPING AND LOTS OF SUN TO ALLOW TEMPS TO REBOUND INTO THE 90S...ALONG WITH UNCOMFORTABLY HIGH SFC DEWPOINTS DUE TO EVAPORATION INTO SHALLOW INVERSION. FROM THURSDAY ONWARD EXPECT THAT THE MAIN WEATHER STORY WILL BE THE HEAT. AREA WILL BE UNDER HOT RIDGE ALOFT AT LEAST INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. AGREE WITH HPC IN KEEPING FRONTAL BOUNDARY NORTH OF THE AREA THRU TUESDAY WITH LITTLE CHC OF RAIN EXCEPT PERHAPS IN THE FAR N. WHILE SOME EROSION OF THE UPPER RIDGE IS POSSIBLE BY TUE...ENSEMBLES SUGGEST THAT THE BALANCE OF PROBABILITY IS FOR HIGHS WELL INTO THE 90S AND DEW POINTS HIGH ENOUGH THAT A HEAT ADVSRY MAY BE NEEDED. MENTION OF HEAT WAS ADDED TO THE HAZARDS OUTLOOK. && .AVIATION... CONVECTION EXPECTED TO CONTINUE ACROSS KOFK/KOMA/KLNK TAF SITES THRU 18Z TAF PD. SEVERAL SFC BOUNDARIES TO FOCUS ACTIVITY ON SO TOUGH TO PIN DOWN EXACT DEVELOPMENT. HAVE INCLUDED TEMP GROUPS TO COVER HEAVIER TSTMS. OTHERWISE...CEILINGS WL BE MVFR WITH IFR CONDITIONS DURING TSTMS. && .OAX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NE...NONE. IA...NONE. && POLLACK/GRIFFIS
