AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTH PLATTE NE
347 PM CDT SUN JUN 6 2010

.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT)...INSTABILITY IS
INCREASING LATE THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS FAR SOUTHWEST NEB INTO THE
PANHANDLE. AT THE SAME TIME...WARM TEMPS ALOFT ARE STARTING TO BUILD
NORTHEASTWARD...WITH LACK OF CU NOTED ACROSS MOST OF WESTERN KS AND
EASTERN CO. SEEMS EDGE OF WARMER TEMPS ALOFT /CAP/ IS ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN NEB PANHANDLE INTO SOUTHWEST NEB. CU HAS BEEN INCREASING IN
THESE AREAS...AND SOME TCU NOW NOTED ON VISIBLE IMAGERY JUST NORTH
OF SIDNEY. ENVIRONMENT SEEMS DECENT TO SUPPORT TSTM DEVELOPMENT THIS
EVENING ACROSS THE SOUTHERN NEB PANHANDLE INTO FAR SOUTHWEST
NEB...AND PARAMETERS WOULD SUPPORT A SFC BASED SUPERCELL OR TWO WITH
LARGE HAIL. LATER TONIGHT...TSTMS LIKELY WILL DEVELOP FOR AREAS
MAINLY NORTH OF INTERSTATE 80. RAPID RETURN OF DEEP MOISTURE ON
STRENGTHENING SOUTHERLY LLJ...WILL AID IN DESTABILIZATION OF THE MID
LEVELS. ELEVATED SUPERCELLS WITH LARGE HAIL MAIL RESULT...MAINLY
AFTER 04Z MONDAY AS MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES STEEPEN.

MONDAY...A SFC CYCLONE WILL DEEPEN ACROSS NORTHEAST CO...IN RESPONSE
TO AN APPROACHING SHORTWAVE ALOFT. THIS WILL SHARPEN AN INVERTED
TROUGH/WARM FRONT ACROSS SOUTHWEST NEB. CONDITIONS WILL BECOME
VERY UNSTABLE BY AFTERNOON...AS VERY STEEP MID LEVEL LAPSE
RATES...COMBINED WITH TEMPS IN 80S AND DEW PTS IN THE UPPER
60S...SHOULD YIELD SFC BASED CAPES FROM 3500 TO 4500 J/KG. A STRONG
CAPPING INVERSION WILL ALSO BE IN PLACE...WITH H7 TEMPS AROUND 15C.
THE MOST LIKELY SEVERE WEATHER SCENARIO AT THIS TIME FOR SOUTHWEST
NEB...WOULD FAVOR STORMS TO INITIATE NORTH OF THE SFC LOW ACROSS THE
SOUTHEAST NEB PANHANDLE LATE AFTERNOON...AND THEN TRACK EAST INTO A
VERY FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT OF RICH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND BACK EAST
TO SOUTHEAST SFC FLOW ACROSS SOUTHWEST NEB DURING THE EVENING.
ENVIRONMENT WILL SUPPORT SUPERCELLS...WITH VERY LARGE HAIL AND
DAMAGING WINDS. AN ISOLATED TORNADO WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE.

.LONG TERM (TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY)...UNSETTLED PATTERN WILL
CONTINUE. FRONT IS SHUNTED SOUTH OF THE AREA TUESDAY...WITH BEST
INSTABILITY FOCUSED TO OUR SOUTH TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. FRONT LIFTS
BACK NORTH ACROSS THE AREA THURSDAY...WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR
ADDITIONAL SEVERE TSTM DEVELOPMENT. MODELS SEEM TO BE COMING INTO
AGREEMENT NOW...AND FRONT WILL SINK SOUTH OF THE AREA FRIDAY...BUT
SHOWERY WEATHER STILL POSSIBLE BEHIND FRONT INTO AT LEAST THE FIRST
HALF OF THE WEEKEND IN SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT.

&&

.AVIATION...
VISUAL FLIGHT RULES WILL CONTINUE THROUGH 03Z AT TERMINALS KLBF AND
KVTN. MODELS CREATE A SPREAD IN THE NEAR TERM WHERE CONVECTION MAY
DEVELOP ON THE HIGH PLAINS AND SPREAD EAST...WHILE THE ALTERNATE
SOLUTION BRINGS LITTLE QPF INTO THE SOUTHWEST AND FOCUSES ENERGY
ACROSS THE NORTH THAT COULD IGNITE THUNDERSTORMS FURTHER NORTH AND
DROPPING SOUTHEAST OVERNIGHT. MODEL BLEND WAS FOLLOWED WITH CHANCE
FOR THUNDERSTORMS AT BOTH TERMINALS FROM 03Z AND BEYOND. STRATUS
DEVELOPS ACROSS THE NORTH LATE THAT COULD BRING CEILING TO MVFR OR
LOWER WITH CEILING AOB 2500 FT AT THE KVTN TERMINAL. AVIATION
FORECAST WILL CONTINUED TO BE WATCHED AS CONVECTION DEVELOPS THIS
EVENING AND EVOLVES OVERNIGHT WITH UPDATES POSSIBLE.
