AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTH PLATTE NE
157 AM CDT MON JUN 2 2008

.UPDATE...
THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO REDEVELOP ACROSS THE NORTHWEST WITH THE
INFLUX OF BETTER MOISTURE OVERNIGHT AS ENERGY MOVES EAST FOR
STORMS TO LINGER OVERNIGHT INTO MONDAY MORNING. SPC HAS ISSUED
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH NUMBER 418 WITH GRIDS AND TEXT PRODUCTS
UPDATED.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 239 PM CDT SUN JUN 1 2008/

DISCUSSION...
TONIGHT...THE 12Z GFS WAS ABSENT FOR THE FCST TODAY SO THE 06Z GFS
WAS SUBSTITUTED IN ITS PLACE. AS EXPECTED THE ATM IS AND WILL REMAIN
STRONGLY SHEAR FOR SEVERAL DAYS. THE NAM12 NOW SHOWS MOISTURE
RAPIDLY INCREASING ACROSS THE WRN 2/3 OF THE FCST AREA TONIGHT
SUPPORTING LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WITH NEARLY 200 PERCENT OF NORMAL
BY MIDDAY MONDAY. AT 18Z THIS AFTN THE ATM WAS MODERATELY UNSTABLE
WITH LIS TO -4...STRONGLY SHEARED AND VERY WEAKLY CAPPED. CU FIELD
CURRENTLY ACROSS NW ZONES EXTENDING SOUTH THROUGH KOGA WILL LIKELY BE
THE FOCUS FOR TSTM DEVELOPMENT LATER THIS AFTN AND TONIGHT. THE
BLENDED SOLNS OF THE NAM12...06Z GFS AND NGM INDICATE HIGHEST POPS
ACROSS WESTERN AND NORTHWESTERN ZONES. HPC SUGGESTED HIGHEST QPF WILL
FALL ACROSS AN AREA CENTERED OVER KVTN AND NORTHWARD INTO SD. AROUND
AN INCH OF RAIN IS EXPECTED ACROSS THIS AREA. FLOOD GUIDANCE
SUGGESTED 1 TO 2 INCHES OF RAIN IN 3 HRS WOULD BE NEEDED ACROSS HOLT
COUNTY AND THE NORTHEAST TO FLOOD. SIMILAR AMOUNTS WOULD BE NEEDED
ACROSS PARTS OF THE SOUTHWEST WHICH HAVE BEEN BATTERED BY HEAVY RAIN
DURING MAY. THE FCST QPF SHOULD REMAIN BELOW FLOOD GUIDANCE TONIGHT
IN THESE AREAS. THE 18Z NAM12 WILL BE EXAMINED...IF AVAILABLE AS A
FINAL CHECK.

FOR NOW THE FCST IS LACED WITH 1ST PERIOD SEVERE WEATHER WORDING AND
THE MENTION OF HEAVY RAINFALL FROM SCATTERED TSTMS ACROSS THE WRN
2/3 OF THE FCST AREA. THE NAM12 TORNADO PARAMETERS SUGGEST ISOLATED
TORNADOES ACROSS JUST THE FAR SOUTHWEST ZONES. THE RUC40 SUGGESTED AN
ISOLATED TORNADO THREAT WOULD EXTEND NORTH TO ROUGHLY NEB HIGHWAY 2.
ALL OF THIS SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL SHOULD DIMINISH BY 03Z THIS
EVENING.

FOR MONDAY...LITTLE CHANGE EXCEPT...MOISTURE INCREASES. THE SPC HAS
OUTLOOKED ALL OF THE FCST AREA FOR SEVERE WEATHER LATE MONDAY AND
MENTIONED THAT PORTIONS OF THE AREA COULD BE UPGRADED TO MODERATE
RISK IF WARRANTED. WINDS ALOFT WILL BE STRONG AND THE CAP WILL BE
WEAK. THE MODELS WERE FOCUSING MOST OF THEIR ENERGY ACROSS THE
FAR NORTHERN ZONES AND ON INTO SD WHERE A MAJOR MCS WOULD BE
CARVING THROUGH DURING THE DAY. THIS SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO MOVE AWAY
BY 00Z SETTING THE STAGE FOR REDEVELOPMENT ACROSS SWRN NEB. ALL OF
THE PARAMETERS WILL BE IN PLACE FOR SEVERE WEATHER WITH THE BEST
FOCUS SOUTH OF NEB HIGHWAY 2. AN ISOLATED TORNADO COULD FORM IN
ADDITION TO THE HAIL...HIGH WINDS AND INTENSE RAINFALL. PRECIPITABLE
WATER WILL BE NEAR 200 PERCENT OF NORMAL. ONLY THE NAM12 IS BLOWING
UP ACROSS SOUTHWEST NEB FORECASTING HP SUPERCELL DEVELOPMENT. LATER
FCST WILL MONITOR THIS AREA AS A FLOOD WATCH MAY BE REQUIRED.

TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY... THE ATM STABILIZES SOMEWHAT TUESDAY...
PRESUMABLY IN THE WAKE OF THE CONVECTION MONDAY NIGHT. HOWEVER THE
NAM INDICATES MOISTURE WILL RETURN LATE TUESDAY NIGHT AND THE BLENDED
SOLNS OF THE GFS AND NAM12 RAMP UP POPS AFTER MIDNIGHT LATE TUESDAY
THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING FOR WHAT LOOKS LIKE A LATE NIGHT ROUND OF
THUNDERSTORMS TUESDAY AND THE BEGINNING OF A PROTRACTED HEAVY RAIN
AND SEVERE WEATHER EVENT FOR WEDNESDAY. THE SPC HAS OUTLOOKED CENTRAL
NEBRASKA FOR SEVERE WEATHER WEDNESDAY. THE NAM AND GFS KEEP WRN AND
NCNTL NEB ON THE COOL SIDE OF A DEEP DEVELOPING CYCLONE. BOTH THE
ECMWF AND GFS DEEPEN THE CYCLONE TO 983MB ACROSS SERN COLO WEDNESDAY
EVENING...AND LIFT IT INTO MINNESOTA BY 12Z FRIDAY. THE GFS BREAKS
THE LOW INTO TWO PIECES WHILE THE ECMWF KEEPS THE STORM WHOLE.
HEAVY RAIN AND HAIL ARE THE MAIN CONCERN FOR WEDNESDAY ALONG AND
SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 80 ACROSS WRN NEB. THE GFS INDICATES THE PARAMETERS
WILL BE IN PLACE FOR TORNADOES ACROSS KS...SWRN AND SCNTL NEB.

THURSDAY...A MAJOR CYCLONE CARVES THROUGH THE CENTRAL PLAINS. HPC
SUGGESTED RARE LIKELY POPS ON DAY 5 FOR WRN AND NCNTL NEB ON THURSDAY
FOR THIS SYSTEM AS CONFIDENCE IS HIGH FOR ADDITIONAL RAINFALL. SPC IS
FCSTING A WIDESPREAD SEVERE WEATHER OUTBREAK ACROSS THE MIDWEST.

FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...THE MAJOR STORM EXITS THE FCST AREA FRIDAY
LEAVING DRY WEATHER FOR SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. THE NEIGHBORS NORTH
SUGGESTED A MCS WOULD DEVELOP ACROSS THE DAKOTAS SATURDAY NIGHT. THIS
LOOKS SPECULATIVE. THE 12Z ECMWF IS SILENT SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.

OVERALL...ALL MODEL SOLNS ARE TRENDING WETTER DAYS 1 THROUGH 7. THE
ECMWF...GFS...GFS ENSEMBLE AND HPC STORM TOTAL RAINFALL THROUGH DAYS
1 THROUGH 7 INDICATED BETWEEN 1.25 AND 2.25 INCHES OF RAINFALL IN
NORTH PLATTE AND BETWEEN 1.5 AND 3 INCHES OF RAINFALL AT VALENTINE.
HPC GUIDANCE INDICATED 1.5 INCHES FOR NORTH PLATTE AND 3 INCHES AT
VALENTINE.

AVIATION...
ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE REGION WILL CAUSE
PERIODS OF MVFR AND POSSIBLE IFR CONDITIONS THIS EVENING INTO THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS. MORE WIDESPREAD ACTIVITY OVERNIGHT...ESPECIALLY
OVER SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA...AFFECTING KLBF...WITH MVFR CIGS AND/OR
VSBY FROM SHOWERS AND FOG. FURTHER NORTH MORE UNCERTAINTY ABOUT MVFR
AND SHOWERS SUSTAINING. TOMORROW LINGERING LOW CLOUDS ARE
POSSIBLE...HOWEVER AS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS END...VFR CONDITIONS
MAY RETURN. LATER FORECASTS WILL REFINE DETAILS FOR TOMORROW
MORNING.

AFTER TONIGHT...THE ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN IS EXPECTED TO
CONTINUE THROUGH MOST OF THE WEEK WITH AT LEAST A POSSIBILITY OF
THUNDERSTORMS EACH DAY THROUGH FRIDAY. THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ON MONDAY ACROSS THE ENTIRE OUTLOOK AREA.
LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE THE PRIMARY THREAT...HOWEVER
TORNADOES WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE. THE SEVERE THREAT FOR THE
REMAINDER OF THE WEEK IS STILL UNCERTAIN AND WILL BE REFINED IN
