Severe Thunderstorm Warning 166, NWS Omaha, NE

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE OMAHA/VALLEY NE
400 PM CDT MON JUN 9 2008

.DISCUSSION...
ALTHOUGH THERE IS A SLIGHT CHC OF EVE INSTABILITY SHOWERS NORTH...
TONIGHT AND TUE SHOULD BE A WELCOME DRY WEATHER BREAK.

THERE IS SOME CHC OF ELEVATED TSTMS TUE NIGHT AS NEXT WAVE BEGINS
TO APPROACH FROM THE WESTERN U.S. AND INDUCES A STRONG SFC LOW IN
WRN NEB.  THE MOISTURE RETURN APPEARS SOMEWHAT LIMITED...BUT LOW
LEVEL JET BECOMES SO STRONG THAT TSTMS MAY STILL DEVELOP.

PRECIP CHANCES INCREASE WED AND WED NIGHT AS FRONT REACHES THE
AREA AND CLOSED LOW ALOFT REACHES THE NORTHERN PLAINS.  MOISTURE
AND INSTABILITY INCREASE AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM.  MODELS ARE HAVING
DIFFICULTY WITH TIMING...AND ALSO WITH EXACT POSITION OF BOUNDARY.
THEY TEND TO SHOW SOLUTIONS WITH AN INITIAL SURGE WED...STALLING
WITH BEST CHC OF HEAVY RAIN AND STRONG TO SVR TSTMS WED NIGHT.
THIS IS FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER BOUNDARY SURGE THU AND MORE CONVECTION
THU NIGHT MOSTLY IN THE SE COUNTIES.

ANOTHER LULL IN PRECIP WILL PROBABLY FOLLOW FRIDAY INTO THE WEEKEND.
DEPENDING ON SPEED OF NEXT SYSTEM...THERE MAY BE SOME CHC FOR
RETURNING MOISTURE AND TSTMS SUN NIGHT INTO MON.  THE GOOD NEWS
FOR OUR AREA IS THAT MODELS AGREE ON BREAKING DOWN RIDGE ALOFT OVER
THE SE U.S. AND BUILDING A RIDGE IN THE SW. THIS WILL TEND TO PUT
US IN WEST OR NW FLOW ALOFT AND LIMIT THE SUPPLY OF MOISTURE FOR
ANY WAVES.

TEMPS WILL START COOL...WARM AHEAD OF THE FRONT...BUT NOT LIKELY
INTO THE 90S. TEMPS MOST UNCERTAIN WED AND THU AS THEY WILL DEPEND
ON DETAILS OF BOUNDARY LOCATIONS.  TEMPS WILL COLL INTO THE EARLY
PART OF THE WEEKEND...THEN LIKELY RECOVER BY SUN OR MON.
