AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTH PLATTE NE
305 PM CDT FRI AUG 3 2012
.SYNOPSIS...
AT 19Z...HAND ANALYSIS OF THE MSL DATA SHOWED A FRONT AND WAVE
ACROSS SOUTH DAKOTA AND INTO EXTREME NORTHWEST NEBRASKA WITH A LOW
IN CENTRAL SOUTH DAKOTA CENTERED NEAR PIERRE. FROM THERE...AN
OCCLUDED FRONT OR INVERTED TROUGH STRETCHED INTO MANITOBA AND
SOUTHERN ALBERTA. THE DRY LINE WAS ACROSS WESTERN NEBRASKA FROM NEAR
PINE RIDGE TO JUST WEST OF OGALLALA AND ACROSS EASTERN COLORADO.
THERE WAS EVIDENCE OF AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY ACROSS NORTHEAST TO SOUTH
CENTRAL NEBRASKA.
VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATED SOME MODERATE CUMULUS
ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL AND WESTERN NEBRASKA AND INTO SOUTHEAST
WYOMING. IN HIGHER LEVELS...WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWED A CLOSED
CYCLONE ALONG THE CANADA-MONTANA BORDER AND MOISTURE COMING UP THE
HIGH PLAINS AND ACROSS KANSAS AND NEBRASKA. SATELLITE DERIVED
PRODUCT IMAGERY SHOWED A PRECIPITABLE WATER PLUME OF 25-35MM TO
ABOUT A VALENTINE-OGALLALA LINE AND VERY UNSTABLE CONDITIONS SOUTH
AND EAST OF THAT LINE.
&&
.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT.
WITH THE GREATEST MOISTURE AND MOST UNSTABLE CONDITIONS OVER
CENTRAL AND NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA...THAT IS THE AREA THAT WILL HAVE
THE HIGHEST COVERAGE OF THUNDERSTORMS AS THE FRONT COMES THROUGH
NEBRASKA TONIGHT. AS THE FRONT GOES ON THROUGH THE PLAINS...THE
THUNDERSTORMS WILL END EARLY SATURDAY. IN OTHER PARTS OF WESTERN
NEBRASKA...DRIER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED...AND CONVECTION WILL BE
HIGH BASED AND RAIN GENERATION EFFICIENCY WILL NOT BE STRONG. AS A
RESULT...LIGHTNING WILL HAVE POTENTIAL FOR IGNITING
FIRES...ESPECIALLY JUST AHEAD OF THUNDERSTORMS. TEMPERATURES IN THE
WAKE OF THE FRONT WILL BE SIGNIFICANTLY COOLER SATURDAY. IN FACT...
FOR LOWS SATURDAY NIGHT...TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE LOW 50S WITH
SOME 40S POSSIBLE IN THE NORTHEAST PANHANDLE.
.MEDIUM AND EXTENDED RANGE...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.
A FAIRLY ACTIVE PATTERN IS STILL EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH
NEXT WEEK AS THE UPPER HIGH SETTLES IN OVER THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES. AS
THE SURFACE TROUGH REDEVELOPS ON THE HIGH PLAINS...THE POTENTIAL FOR
THUNDERSTORMS WILL RETURN TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY AND AGAIN
FRIDAY. THE UNCERTAINTY IS HIGH...SO ANY MENTION WILL BE LOW
PROBABILITY... 20 PERCENT OR LOWER. FOR TEMPERATURES...HIGHS WILL BE
90 OR HIGHER THROUGH THE WORK WEEK NEXT WEEK.
&&
.AVIATION...
MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES AND BREEZY SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL CONTINUE OVER
MUCH OF WESTERN AND NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA INTO THIS EVENING PRIOR
TO PASSAGE OF A STRONG COLD FRONT WHICH WAS LOCATED FROM CENTRAL
WYOMING INTO NORTH CENTRAL SOUTH DAKOTA AT MID AFTERNOON. THERE WAS
A SECOND SURFACE BOUNDARY OBSERVED THIS AFTERNOON FROM KIBM TO KAIA
TO KIEN...WHICH SAW BREEZY NORTHWEST WINDS. THIS WILL STAY NEARLY
STATIONARY UNTIL THE COLD FRONT MOVES SOUTH ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT.
THE COLD FRONT WILL BRING A SHIFT IN WIND DIRECTION TO THE NORTH OR
NORTHWEST WITH GUSTS TO TO 30 KTS OR MORE BEHIND IT. IN
ADDITION...THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE AHEAD OF THE FRONT LATER THIS
AFTERNOON...HOWEVER ARE EXPECTED TO BE SCATTERED IN NATURE AND ALONG
AND EAST OF A KOGA TO KTIF TO KANW LINE.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...
HIGH FIRE DANGER WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE EVENING...ESPECIALLY
WEST OF A LINE FROM OGALLALA TO THEDFORD TO AINSWORTH WHERE RELATIVE
HUMIDITY HAD DROPPED TO 20 PERCENT OR LOWER. FORTUNATELY... MUCH OF
THIS AREA SAW WINDS STAY ON THE LIGHT SIDE...WITH THE EXCEPTION
BEING OVER PORTIONS OF THE NEBRASKA PANHANDLE...WHERE LOCALIZED
GUSTS TO 25 MPH HAD BEEN OBSERVED.
A COLD FRONT OVER WYOMING AND SOUTH DAKOTA WILL MOVE SOUTH
THROUGH THE AREA TONIGHT. THERE IS A CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS AHEAD
AND ALONG THE FRONT. ALTHOUGH LOCALIZED HEAVY RAINS ARE
POSSIBLE...HEAVY WIDESPREAD RAINFALL IS NOT EXPECTED TO HELP
ALLEVIATE THE DRY CONDITIONS. IN ADDITION...DUE TO THE DRY FUELS IT
IS CERTAINLY POSSIBLE FOR MORE FIRES TO IGNITE ACROSS THE DISTRICTS
FROM LIGHTNING WITH PASSING STORMS. CURRENTLY THE MOST LIKELY AREA
TO SEE STORMS WILL BE ALONG AND EAST OF A LINE FROM OGALLALA TO
THEDFORD TO AINSWORTH.
AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH...LOOK FOR WINDS TO SHIFT TO THE
NORTH TO NORTHWEST...WHICH COULD BE FAIRLY STRONG. SUSTAINED WINDS
OF 15 TO 25 MPH ARE POSSIBLE WITH GUSTS TO 30 MPH OR MORE BEHIND THE
FRONT.
ALTHOUGH FUELS WILL REMAIN VERY DRY FOR THE WEEKEND...COOLER
TEMPERATURES /HIGHS IN THE 80S SATURDAY AND UPPER 80S SUNDAY/ ARE
FORECAST TO KEEP HUMIDITY ABOVE CRITICAL LEVELS.
&&
.LBF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE.
