Area forecast discussion, Jun 18, 2:17 PM MDT, 8 hours 57 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTH PLATTE NE
317 PM CDT THU JUN 18 2009

.SYNOPSIS...H5 ANALYSIS THIS MORNING INDICATING FAIRLY ACTIVE
UPSTREAM CONDS ACROSS THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST. A BROAD TROUGH OF LOW
PRESSURE ALOFT EXTENDS FROM CENTRAL MT...SSWD INTO SWRN AZ. SEVERAL
EMBEDDED WAVES NOTED JUST EAST OF THIS FLOW...THE FIRST OVER NRN
WYOMING...NERN COLORADO (RESPONSIBLE FOR LIGHT CONVECTION EARLIER
TODAY IN THE SANDHILLS)...AND ERN UT. FURTHER EAST...A MASSIVE UPPER
LEVEL HIGH IS ANCHORED OVER THE LOUISIANA DELTA REGION. VIS
SATELLITE THIS AFTERNOON...INDICATING A NICE RING OF FIRE WITH MCS'S
CROSSING ERN IL...THE SRN APPALACHIANS...AND CENTRAL FLORIDA.
SURFACE ANALYSIS AT 19Z ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS IS INDICATING A
STATIONARY FRONTAL BOUNDARY ANCHORED FROM SERN COLORADO...TO HILL
CITY KS...TO AROUND TEKAMAH NEBRASKA. WITH THIS FEATURE SOUTH OF THE
AREA...TORNADO THREAT TONIGHT APPEARS TO BE MINIMIZED ATTM.

&&

.DISCUSSION...

.NEAR TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY...MAIN FORECASTING CHALLENGES
DEAL WITH PRECIPITATION CHANCES AND TEMPERATURES.

UPPER LEVEL HIGH WILL CONTINUE TO WOBBLE OVER THE LOUISIANA DELTA AND
COASTAL PLAIN OF ALABAMA AND MISSISSIPPI OVER THE NEXT 48 HOURS.
RIDGING NORTH OF THIS FEATURE WILL TEMPORALLY FLATTEN TONIGHT
THROUGH MIDDAY FRIDAY AS AN OPEN WAVE LIFTS ACROSS THE CENTRAL
PLAINS. FOR TONIGHT...THUNDERSTORMS WILL REMAIN A POSSIBILITY AS
THIS FEATURE CROSSES THE CENTRAL ROCKIES THIS AFTERNOON...EMERGING
ONTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS EARLY THIS EVENING. THOUGH THE SEVERE THREAT
REMAINS IN PLAY ACROSS ALL OF THE FORECAST AREA THIS EVENING WITH
WIND AND HAIL...FEEL THE GREATEST TORNADO THREAT WILL BE OFF TO THE
SOUTH IN THE VICINITY OF THE SURFACE FRONT IE. NRN KS INTO NERN
NEBRASKA. MUCH DRIER AIR HAS BEGUN TO FILTER INTO THE PANHANDLE THIS
AFTERNOON...WHICH WOULD TEND TO FAVOR MORE OF A STRAIGHT LINE WIND
THREAT. FURTHER EAST OFF THE PANHANDLE...18Z SOUNDING DATA FROM LBF
IS INDICATING MORE OF A LARGE HAIL THREAT THANKS TO WET BULB ZEROES
AT 9200 FT AGL...DECENT SHEAR AND A VERY UNSTABLE AIRMASS WITH A
MIDDAY CAPE OF CLOSE TO 2600 J/KG. CONVECTION WILL CONGEAL INTO A
MCS OVERNIGHT...FOLLOWING THE AXIS OF THE LOW LEVEL JET...WHICH
FAVORS LOCATIONS ALONG AND SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 80.

THE BEFORE MENTIONED TROF OF LOW PRESSURE ALOFT WILL CLEAR THE
FORECAST AREA BY LATE MORNING FRIDAY...LEAVING DRY AND SUNNY CONDS
IN ITS WAKE. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO NERN NEBRASKA FRIDAY
AFTERNOON...FORCING A COOL FRONT SOUTH INTO KANSAS. WILL KEEP A DRY
FORECAST GOING BASED ON MUCH DRIER BOUNDARY LAYER CONDS AND
SUBSIDENCE BEHIND THE EXITING TROF ALOFT.

PRECIPITATION WILL ENTER THE FORECAST ONCE AGAIN BEGINNING SATURDAY
AFTERNOON. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE FORCED INTO SERN
NEBRASKA...SATURDAY...THEN THE LOWER MISSOURI VALLEY SATURDAY NIGHT.
THIS WILL ALLOW A THETA E RIDGE TO BUILD INTO NERN COLORADO...NWRN KS
AND SERN WYOMING SATURDAY AFTERNOON. SURFACE HEATING...SURGING LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE AND A DISTURBANCE LIFTING NEWD FROM THE CENTRAL
ROCKIES WILL COMBINE SATURDAY AFTERNOON TO INITIATE THUNDERSTORMS
ACROSS THE HIGH PLAINS OF COLORADO AND WYOMING. THIS ACTIVITY WILL
LIFT EWD LATER IN THE EVENING...AND SHOULD SUSTAIN ITSELF OVERNIGHT
AS THE MODELS ARE INDICATING THE DEVELOPMENT OF A LLJET OVER SRN AND
ERN NEBRASKA.

.LONG TERM...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THROUGH THURSDAY...TEMPERATURES
AND LOW PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL BE THE MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS IN
THE EXTENDED PERIOD. THE UPPER LEVEL HIGH CURRENTLY ANCHORED OVER
THE MISSISSIPPI DELTA REGION...WILL SLOWLY RETROGRADE WEST ACROSS
ALONG THE RED RIVER VALLEY...ENDING UP OVR THE TX PANHANDLE BY
THURSDAY OF NEXT WEEK. RIDGE AXIS WILL EXTEND FROM TX NWD INTO SRN
NEBRASKA MONDAY AND TUESDAY...SO FEEL FAIRLY CONFIDENT IN LIMITING
POPS AND INCREASING TEMPS. AFTER TUESDAY THE RIDGE AXIS RETROGRADES
FURTHER WEST PLACING THE CWA IN WESTERLY...THEN NWRLY FLOW
ALOFT...WHICH WOULD BE MORE CONDUCIVE FOR PRECIPITATION AND COOLER
TEMPS VIA THE BACKDOOR COOL FRONT. HAVE INTRODUCED LOW POPS INTO DAY 7
AND HAVE COOLED TEMPS DOWN SOMEWHAT FOR WEDS AND THUS FROM THE LWR
TO MID 90S FORECASTED FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...
VFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE AT KLBF...EXCEPT FOR AN ISOLATED TSRA.
DID NOT INCLUDE THIS IN THE KLBF TAF AS THE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY
MAY DEVELOP FURTHER SOUTH NEAR THE NE/KS BORDER WHERE THERE IS
BETTER INSTABILITY. IN TSRA ACTIVITY...VISIBILITY WILL LIKELY LOWER
TO 1 TO 2 MILES IN HEAVY RAIN AND HAIL.  SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS
WILL GENERALLY MOVE EAST OF THE KLBF AREA BY 06Z WITH ISOLATED TSRA
UNTIL 12Z.  VERY SMALL CHANCE THESE WILL IMPACT THE KLBF TERMINAL SO
HAVE NOT INCLUDED THIS.  AFTER 12Z FRI...KLBF WILL LIKELY STAY VFR
THROUGH 21Z SAT.  KVTN WILL REMAIN VFR THROUGH 00Z SUN.
