AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTH PLATTE NE
632 PM CDT THU JUN 7 2012

.AVIATION...THUNDERSTORMS ARE CURRENTLY DEVELOPING ACROSS WESTERN
NEBRASKA THIS EVENING. MODELS INDICATE A FAVORABLE AREA FOR
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE FROM NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA SOUTHWEST ACROSS
THE PANHANDLE. THUNDERSTORMS WILL DIMINISH AS THEY MOVE
EASTWARD...AND STILL THINK THE BETTER CHANCE WILL BE AT VTN VS
LBF THIS EVENING. HAVE INTRODUCED TEMPO GROUP DURING THE MORE
FAVORABLE TIME AT VTN...AND KEPT TS OUT OF LBF BELIEVING THAT
STORMS WILL DECREASE IN COVERAGE BY THE TIME THEY REACH LBF. AFTER
SOUTHERLY WINDS DECREASE THIS EVENING THEY ARE EXPECTED TO
INCREASE AGAIN BY LATE MORNING TOMORROW AT THE TERMINALS.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 348 PM CDT THU JUN 7 2012/

..AFTER CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS MAINLY THIS EVENING...DRY
CONDITIONS FORECAST THIS WEEKEND THROUGH MID WEEK...

SHORT TERM...

STORMS CONTINUE TO DEVELOP ACROSS EASTERN WYOMING/WESTERN SOUTH
DAKOTA INTO THE NORTHERN PANHANDLE. THIS IS OCCURRING MAINLY FROM
A WEAK SHORT WAVE TROUGH LIFTS NORTHEAST ACROSS THE
CENTRAL/NORTHERN PLAINS. STEEP LAPSE RATES AND SUFFICIENT LOW AND
MID LEVEL MOISTURE PRESENT. LIMITING FACTORS WILL BE SCATTERED
COVERAGE IN THE FAR WESTERN AREAS WILL BECOME MORE ISOLATED
EASTWARD INTO THE CENTRAL SANDHILLS THIS EVENING. ALTHOUGH
AMPLITUDE DISTURBANCE WILL DAMPEN OUT BY MIDNIGHT...THOUGHTS ARE
THAT LOW LEVEL JET SHOULD KEEP AT LEAST A SLIGHT CHANCE AFTER
MIDNIGHT FOR SOUTHEASTERN AREAS. REGARDING SEVER POTENTIAL...WITH
A MODERATELY UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE AND BETTER SHEAR TO PROMOTE THE
FORMATION OF THUNDERSTORMS...SOME STRONG...ACROSS WESTERN AND
SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA. MARGINALLY SEVERE STORMS ARE POSSIBLE...MAINLY
ACROSS THE EASTERN PANHANDLE AND ADJACENT WESTERN SANDHILLS.

STRONG WARM AIR ADVECTION FRIDAY WITH HIGHS REACHING THE UPPER 80S
TO AROUND 90. FRIDAY AND FRIDAY EVENING SHOULD BE DRY WITH A
LEESIDE TROUGH DEVELOPED. WHILE THERE WILL BE AFTERNOON
THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN TO OUR
WEST...ANY STORM SHOULD DISSIPATE BEFORE REACHING ANY

SATURDAY WILL BE A SCORCHER IN TERMS OF ABOVE AVERAGE. FORECAST
HIGHS 15 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL WITH HIGHS IN THE MID TO UPPER
90S...WITH MUCH OF SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA AND NORTHERN CHERRY COUNTY
TO REACH OR EXCEED 100. A LACK OF RAINFALL AND DRY SOIL
CONDITIONS WOULD MOST CERTAINLY LEND TO THIS HOT OF TEMPERATURES.
THERE IS A SMALL CHANCE THAT THE CAP MAY BREAK NEAR THE SURFACE
DRYLINE NEAR HIGHWAY 83. CURRENTLY HAVE A SILENT 14 POP LATE
AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING...WHICH MAY NEED TO BE UPPED TO A SLIGHT
CHANCE.

A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT. THERE COULD BE A
FEW STORMS POSSIBLE NEAR THE FRONT IN NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA.
CONFIDENCE FROM MODELS TO LOW ATTM TO INCLUDE...BUT WILL NEED TO
BE EVALUATED WITH NEXT MODEL RUNS.

SUNDAY SHOULD BE DRY AND NOT A HOT. HIGHS MORE NEAR NORMAL IN THE
UPPER 70S/LOWER 80S. DUE TO FASTER FORECAST PROGRESSION OF THE
FRONT...ANY STORMS ALONG THE FRONT SHOULD BE WELL SOUTHEAST OF OUR
AREA SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND SUNDAY NIGHT...SO HAVE REMOVED MENTION.

LONG TERM...

FOR MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY. UPPER FLOW WILL BE QUASI ZONAL THROUGH
THE PERIOD. DRY FORECAST UNTIL WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY.
MOISTURE RETURN UP THE HIGH PLAINS WILL BE FAVORABLE FOR
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT TO OUR WEST WHICH WOULD BE FAVORED TO MOVE
ACROSS AS A DISTURBANCE ALOFT CROSSES THE REGION. ALTHOUGH TIMING
OF THESE DISTURBANCES IS DIFFICULT...GFS ENSEMBLE MEMBERS AGREE
THAT THIS PERIOD MOST FAVORABLE FOR AT LEAST A SLIGHT CHANCE MENTION.
TEMPERATURE TO ALSO BE MORE SEASONAL IN THE UPPER 70S TO MID 80S.
