Severe Thunderstorm Warning 308, NWS Omaha, NE

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE OMAHA/VALLEY NE
318 PM CDT TUE AUG 21 2007

.DISCUSSION...
THE SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS IS AGAIN THE
MAIN FORECAST CONCERN. IT DOES NOT LOOK QUITE AS UNSTABLE OR ACTIVE
AS MONDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING FOR THE OMAHA AND LINCOLN AREAS...
BUT STILL SOME POTENTIAL. COULD ALSO BE SOME LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN...
MAINLY IN NERN NE.

12Z UPPER AIR CHARTS SHOWED A POCKET OF 850 MB MOISTURE OVER PARTS
OF SWRN NE. TEMPERATURES AT 700 MB WERE QUITE WARM AT KLBF AND KOAX
WITH VALUES OF 14 C AND 13 C RESPECTIVELY. IT HAD WARMED TO 14.3 C
AT KOAX ON THE 18Z SOUNDING...WITH A SMALL INCREASE IN MOISTURE AT
850 MB. SURFACE ANALYSIS EARLY THIS AFTN SHOWED LOW PRESSURE CENTER
OVER SOUTH CENTRAL SD NEAR WINNER (KICR). WARM FRONT STRETCHED EAST
THROUGH NERN NE AND INTO IA. TROUGH AXIS EXTENDED FROM THE LOW DOWN
INTO NERN NM. DEWPOINTS AHEAD OF THE TROUGH WERE IN THE LOWER AND
MID 70S IN THE WARM SECTOR. JET MAX OVER THE DKTS SHOULD CONTINUE
TO MOVE EAST AND HELP ENHANCE LARGE SCALE LIFT WITH RIGHT ENTRANCE
REGION (RIGHT REAR QUADRANT). WARM SECTOR CONTINUES TO DESTABILIZE
WIT HEATING. EXPECT CONVERGENCE ALONG TROUGH TO BE SUFFICIENT TO
GET STORMS GOING BY 00Z TO OUR NORTHWEST. STORMS SHOULD EXPAND AS
THE EVENING GOES ON. INSTABILITY AND SHEAR SEEM SUFFICIENT FOR
SUPERCELLS...WITH SOME TORNADO POTENTIAL THROUGH THE EVENING ALONG
ANY OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES OR FRONTS. MOST LIKELY LOCATION IS NERN NE.

THERE IS SOME HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL TONIGHT...BUT ONLY DODGE COUNTY
HAD MUCH HEAVY RAIN LAST NIGHT. FLASH FLOOD POTENTIAL DOES NOT
SEEM OVERLY HIGH TONIGHT...BUT NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION. THE NEXT
TWO NIGHTS (WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY NIGHT) SEEM TO HAVE MORE
POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAIN AND HIGHER POTENTIAL FOR FLOODING. THIS
WILL BE ADDRESSED IN FUTURE FORECASTS. HAVE FAIRLY HIGH POPS FROM
WEDNESDAY AFTN THROUGH FRIDAY.

STILL EXPECT THE PATTERN TO DRY OUT TOWARD THE WEEKEND AS LONGWAVE
TROUGH OVER THE ROCKIES SHIFTS EAST OF OUR AREA BY LATE FRIDAY OR
EARLY SATURDAY. ANOTHER TROUGH DIGS OVER THE PACIFIC NW BY 12Z MON.
KEPT HIGHS THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY MAINLY IN THE 80S. SOME WARMING
EXPECTED TO THE UPPER 80S AND LOWER 90S FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK. ADDED
SOME CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS TO NEW DAY 7 (TUESDAY) AS A FRONTAL
BOUNDARY MOVES IN FROM THE WEST.

&&

.AVIATION...
THUNDERSTORMS TONIGHT WILL BE THE PRIMARY AVIATION CONCERN.  SFC LOW
PRES WAS CNTRED NR ANW AND A SUBTLE FNT WAS NOTED INTO ERN NEB AND
SW IA.  A SHORTWAVE TROF TRACKING ACRS THE NRN PLAINS WILL CONBINE
WITH THE CONVERGENCE ALONG THIS FRONT AND HEATING TO PRODUCE THE
CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS AT THE TAF SITES TONIGHT.  MVFR CIGS...HAIL
AND GUSTY WINDS MAY ALSO ACCOMPANY THE STORMS TONIGHT.  THE SFC
BOUNDARY WILL REMAIN IN THE VICINITY WEDNESDAY...THUS WILL PROVIDE
ADDITIONAL POTENTIAL FOR STORM DEVELOPMENT.

.OAX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
NE...NONE.
IA...NONE.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF SOUTHWEST
IOWA...WEST CENTRAL IOWA...EAST CENTRAL NEBRASKA...NORTHEAST
NEBRASKA AND SOUTHEAST NEBRASKA.

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY

SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE THIS EVENING OVER THE
OUTLOOK AREA...WITH LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AS THE
PRIMARY HAZARDS. AN ISOLATED STORM MAY BECOME TORNADIC...ESPECIALLY
ACROSS NORTHEAST NEBRASKA...MAINLY NORTH OF A LINE FROM SCHUYLER
TO WINNEBAGO. STORMS WILL ALSO BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING LOCALLY
HEAVY RAIN.

A FRONTAL BOUNDARY DRAPED ACROSS NORTHERN NEBRASKA WILL BE THE
FOCUS FOR THUNDERSTORMS TONIGHT. AS THIS FRONT SHIFTS
SOUTH...THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE SOUTH ALONG THE
FRONT. MUCH MORE STABLE AIR WILL RESIDE TO THE SOUTH OF THE
BOUNDARY SO IT IS SOMEWHAT UNCERTAIN AS TO HOW FAR SOUTH SEVERE
STORMS WILL MOVE TONIGHT AS THE BOUNDARY SLOWLY SAGS SOUTH.

STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AGAIN LATE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON
ALONG THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WHICH WILL STILL BE DRAPED ACROSS THE
OUTLOOK AREA. SEVERE STORMS ARE POSSIBLE AGAIN ALONG WITH VERY
HEAVY RAIN.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY
