DISCUSSION...

SHORT TERM DISCUSSION (TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT)...

TONIGHT...APPROACH OF UPPER TROUGH AND COLD FRONT WILL BRING THE
BEST CHC AND AREAL COVERAGE FOR TSTMS TO WRN AND NCTRL NEBR. STRONG
CONVECTION CURRENTLY EXTENDING FROM SERN WY INTO NCTRL CO. AS AN
UNSEASONABLE STRONG UPPER TROUGH APPROACHES AND A MID LEVEL JET MAX
ROUNDS THE BASE OF THE TROUGH...AN MCS WILL DEVELOP AND MOST LIKELY
MOVE DUE EAST ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA. EASTWARD MOVEMENT

POTENTIAL. HAVE RAISED POPS NCTRL TO 80 PERCENT PER LATEST NAM/GFS
AND PREVIOUS MODEL CONSISTENCY. ACROSS THE SRN HALF...POPS RAISED
SOME TO 50-70 PERCENT. DURATION EXPECTED TO BE LESS...ALTHOUGH WHAT
PASSES THROUGH COULD BE INTENSE RAINFALL. THERE WILL ALSO BE SOME
SEVERE THREAT TIL AROUND 02Z WITH LOSS OF HEATING. THERE IS SOME
POTENTIAL FOR ISOLATED FLASH FLOODING OVERNIGHT. THIS PARTLY DUE TO
FAIRLY SATURATED GROUND. HOWEVER WIDESPREAD RAINFALL WILL MOSTLY BE
AROUND 1 INCH WITH AREAS OF 1-2 INCHES POSSIBLE. LOWEST 3HR FFG IS
ACROSS HOLT COUNTY NEAR 1.5 INCHES. AREAS TO THE WEST LESS FLOOD
PRONE. THUS A FLASH FLOOD WATCH WAS NOT FELT NEEDED.

TSRA INCREASING IN INTENSITY AND COVERAGE EARLY THIS AFTERNOON
ACROSS THE C/NRN ROCKIES IN THE MID LEVEL WAA ZONE AHEAD OF
ANOMALOUS UPPER LOW SLIDING EWD. EARLY MORNING CONVECTION IN NEB HAS
LEFT THE KLBF/KVTN AREAS IN SUBSIDENCE EARLY...HOWEVER 18Z SOUNDING
SHOWS THERE HAS BEEN SUFFICIENT SYNOPTIC SCALE LIFT TO ERODE CAP
SOMEWHAT...THOUGH SOME NEG AREA REMAINS WHICH IS CONFIRMED BY VISUAL
INSPECTION OF DEVELOPING CU FIELD. MODELS CONTINUE TO SUGGEST
DEVELOPMENT ALONG WEAK FRONT/WIND SHIFT LINE ACROSS THE CENTRAL PART
OF THE STATE PRIOR TO 4 PM CDT...AND LAPS/MSAS HINTING AT GOOD
DESTABILIZATION THERE. WILL HAVE TO SEE IF MESOSCALE LIFT IS
SUFFICIENT TO SUSTAIN UPDRAFTS TO TSRA STAGE. IN ADDITION...AS LONG
WAVE TROF APPROACHES...BETTER LARGE SCALE SHEAR AVAILABLE TO
MAINTAIN AND ORGANIZE CONVECTION BY EVENING FURTHER W.

HAVE INCLUDED INITIAL CB GROUP IN BOTH KVTN AND KLBF TAFS TO RELATE
ONLY MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN TSRA INITIATION TIME...HOWEVER INCLUDED
TSRA AS PREVAILING LATER SINCE CONFIDENCE IS HIGHER THAT EVENTUALLY
ORGANIZED CONVECTION WILL INDEED DEVELOP. MAIN THREAT SHOULD BE
HEAVY RAIN AND HAVE THEREFORE INCLUDED VSBYS THAT GO TO IFR...AND
THESE COULD END UP BEING CONSERVATIVE SHOULD ORGANIZED CONVECTION
REMAIN OVER A TAF SITE.
