.DISCUSSION...
WEATHER CONTINUES TO BE ACTIVE WITH NO LONG BREAK IN SIGHT. MAIN
FOCUS WILL BE PRECIP CHANCES THEN 36 HRS...WINDS FRIDAY NIGHT INTO
SATURDAY...AND COLD TEMPS SUNDAY MORNING.

WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWING SEVERAL IMPULSE DRIFTING ACROSS THE
CENTRAL PLAINS THIS MORNING. LEAD WAVE HAS PUSHED EAST OF THE
FORECAST AREA...AND LNX RADAR CURRENTLY DRY OVER CWA COUNTIES.
NEXT MUCH WEAKER WAVE WILL MOVE ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA THIS
MORNING. KEPT SOME SMALL POPS OVER NE COUNTIES...AS SOME ISOLATED
DEVELOPMENT ALONG THIS WAVE STILL POSSIBLE AS THE WAVE MOVES INTO
BETTER MOISTURE. MEANWHILE LOW CLOUDS COVER MOST OF THE AREA WITH
A FEW PATCHY AREAS OF FOG...THIS WILL CONTINUE INTO THE MORNING
HOURS AND BE SLOW TO LIFT. SUN WILL PEAK OUT LATE THIS MORNING OR
EARLY AFTERNOON ACROSS THE REGION...HOWEVER NEXT WAVE WILL QUICKLY
BRING AN END THIS. SHORT WAVE MOVING ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT WILL
HAVE MORE UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT AND WILL BRING SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS TO THE REGION. TEMP PROFILE ON THE COOL SIDE THIS
EVENING WITH FREEZING LEVELS AROUND 10K FT AGL. LI/S GO NEGATIVE
WITH PEAK HEATING SO CAN NOT RULE OUT SOME HAIL WITH THE
THUNDERSTORMS.

THUNDERSTORMS TRANSITION TO MORE RAIN SHOWERS WITH ONLY A FEW
RUMBLES OF THUNDER OVERNIGHT...LINGERING INTO SATURDAY. ALSO ON
SATURDAY ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE WAVE...COLD AIR ADVECTION TO KEEP
TEMPS WELL BELOW NORMAL AND MIX DOWN GUSTY WINDS. WILL HAVE TO
MONITOR WINDS FOR POSSIBLE ADVISORY...AS GUIDANCE SUPPORTING LOW
END ADVISORY ALREADY.

HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE REGION FOR SATURDAY NIGHT WITH
CLEARING SKIES. THIS WILL SET THE STAGE FOR GREAT RADIATIONAL
COOLING. GOING PAST THE 50 PERCENT FROST/FREEZE DATES SO HAVE
INCLUDED PATCHY AND WIDESPREAD FROST FOR TEMPS IN THE 30S AND EVEN
UPPER 20S EXPECTED.

REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST NOT CHANGES AS ACTIVE PATTERN WITH
SEVERAL SYSTEMS NEXT WEEK TO KEEP THE CHANCE FOR RAIN COMING AND
GOING. TEMPS REBOUND CLOSER TO SEASONAL.

.AVIATION...
CURRENT AND FORECAST LOW LEVEL MOISTURE PROFILES INDICATE THAT
THE INSTRUMENT METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS IN NORTHERN NEBRASKA WILL
CONTINUE. SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS WATER BASED CLOUDS SPREADING INTO
THE BROKEN BOW-NORTH PLATTE-IMPERIAL AREA BY 09Z. IN ADDITION...LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE FORECASTS SHOW INSTRUMENT CEILINGS AND/OR VISIBILITY
IN THE NORTH PLATTE AREA...AND STATISTICAL FORECAST PRODUCTS SUPPORT
INSTRUMENT TO LOW (LIMITED) INSTRUMENT CONDITIONS CONTINUING BEYOND
12Z FOR BOTH VALENTINE AND NORTH PLATTE. THE CONDITIONAL CLIMATOLOGY
FORECAST DOES NOT HAVE A LARGE ENOUGH SAMPLE FOR ANY REASONABLE
ASSUMPTION. HOWEVER...WE HAVE ENOUGH CONFIDENCE IN THE STATISTICAL
FORECASTS TO INCLUDE INSTRUMENT CONDITIONS THIS MORNING UNTIL 13Z OR
14Z AT NORTH PLATTE AND VALENTINE. THE NEXT FORECAST CHALLENGE IS
THE PROBABILITY OF THUNDERSTORMS LATE IN THE FORECAST. AGAIN...
STATISTICAL FORECASTS AND MODEL DERIVED PATTERN FORECASTS SUPPORT A
FAIRLY HIGH LEVEL OF CONFIDENCE THAT THUNDERSTORMS WILL OCCUR AT THE
VALENTINE AND NORTH PLATTE TERMINALS SOMETIME BETWEEN 00Z AND 06Z.
THEREFORE...THUNDER IS INCLUDED IN THE PREVAILING CONDITIONS FOR
BOTH TERMINALS IN THE LAST PART OF THE FORECAST PERIOD.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF WESTERN AND

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.

SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP OVER SOUTHEAST
WYOMING...NORTHEAST COLORADO...AND THE NEBRASKA PANHANDLE FRIDAY
AFTERNOON...AND THEN SPREAD EAST INTO WESTERN NEBRASKA FRIDAY
EVENING. THE COMBINATION OF STEEP LAPSE RATES AND STRONG VERTICAL
WIND SHEAR WILL FAVOR A FEW OF THESE STORMS TO BECOME
SEVERE...WITH LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS THE PRIMARY THREATS.
THE EASTERN NEBRASKA PANHANDLE WILL HAVE THE BEST CHANCE FOR
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH MID AFTERNOON...BUT THE THREAT IS
EXPECTED TO SHIFT INTO WESTERN AND SOUTHWESTERN NEBRASKA BY LATE
AFTERNOON. THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE IS THEN EXPECTED TO INCREASE
FRIDAY NIGHT ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF WESTERN AND NORTH CENTRAL
NEBRASKA...WITH LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN POSSIBLE.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY.

STRONG SUSTAINED WINDS OF 30 TO 35 MPH ARE EXPECTED TO
DEVELOP ON SATURDAY...WITH GUSTS EXCEEDING 40 MPH. DURING SATURDAY
NIGHT INTO EARLY SUNDAY...THE LIKELIHOOD OF WIDESPREAD BELOW
FREEZING TEMPERATURES IS INCREASING AS WINDS DECREASE IN SPEED AND
SKIES CLEAR. THIS WILL ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO PLUNGE INTO THE MID
20S OVER NORTHWEST NEBRASKA...AND THE MID 30S OVER CENTRAL AND
SOUTHWESTERN NEBRASKA.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL NOT BE NEEDED THROUGH TONIGHT.
